【解析】

试题分析：这篇短文主要讲述友谊问题。文章讲述，并非人人都会拥有长久的友谊，但是由于误解，友谊会因此而终结。文章强调，友谊最重要的是要相互理解，相互尊重，这样，友谊才能长存。

1.A考查副词及语境理解。always：总是；sometimes：有时；never：从不；ever：曾经。根据语境可知，这里指的是长久的友谊并不总是人人都可以得到的。故应选A。

2.B考查名词及语境理解。parents：父母；friends：朋友；students：学生；eachers：老师。根据语境可知，这里指的是需要朋友随时在身边。故选B。

3.C考查引导词及语境理解。when：当……时候；as：由于；if：是否；why：为什么。根据前文 “asking”可知，这里指的是询问是否可以。故应选C。

4.B考查形容词及语境理解。根据下文中“ because it is not convenient for you”可知，这里指的是有时你会对朋友说“不”。故应选B。

5.B考查动词及语境理解。provide ：提供；understand：理解；produce：生产；invent：发明。联系下文“They believe that friends can ask for any favor and the answer should always be “yes””的描述可知，这里指的是并非所有的朋友都理解这种类型的独立。故应选B。

6.A考查动词及语境理解。help：帮助； food：食物；money：金钱；respect：尊敬。结合下句中的“You expect your friends to help you whenever you need. But the fact is, your friends may not…”可知，这里指的是当你向朋友请求帮助的时候就会发生误解。故应选A。

7.B考查不定代词及语境理解。each与every都有“每个”的意思。every是指许多人或事物的“全体”；each指两个或两个以上的人或事物中的“每个”。both指两者都，either指任意一个都。根据语境可知，这里指的是你的朋友并不总是放下一切去满足你的每一个需要。故应选B。

8.D考查形容词及语境理解。happy：高兴的；excited：兴奋的；cheerful：欢呼的；angry：生气的。根据下文中 “…and your friendship could end”的描述可知，这里指的是不能满足朋友的要求而因此生气，并导致友谊的终结。故应选D。

9.C考查动词及语境理解。connect：联系；compare：比较；support：支持；solve：解决。根据语境可知，这里指的是真正的友谊两人应该相互支持。故应选C。

10.D考查名词及语境理解。story：故事；family：家庭；character：人物；history：历史。根据下文As you spend more time with your friend, you are creating special times…”的描述可知，这里指的是长期的友谊提供了一起缔造历史的机会。故应选D。
