(D)
To build an incredible and successful relationship is something like erecting a building. First of all, you should start with an idea which is expected by everyone, and then you can put a solid foundation stone for that idea. Putting a
strong foundation stone is very important and it keeps your building steady. Every part of that building is totally depending upon that solid foundation.
So, here are the three rules to establish a successful relationship:
The first rule is just having fun. Once a relationship is established then the things become stable. Once it gets stable then you start feeling stifled (压抑的) and fun is no longer there in your relationship. But remember this thing is very dangerous for a relationship. You can plan something great like a weekend road trip. Even you can also plan some of your favorite activities at least twice a month. Enjoy laughing with each other and try to find different ways to keep this laughter alive.
The second rule is _________. In relationship it is important that both the partners should deserve equal treatment. If anyone of the partners dominates to the other then such a relationship is surely not going to survive for a long time. Such a relationship is called an unbalanced relationship and it is going to give lots of pain. So, try to give respect to each other equally.
The third rule is always to be open and honest with each other. Another good and important part of any relationship is being honest and open-minded with your
partner. Whenever the problem arises in your relations, honesty is very crucial. Even being open-minded with each other is a foundation to your good relationship. Honesty is the most valuable thing. If you become very honest with each other then problems can be very easily sorted out.
You need put lots of efforts to build a successful relationship. This effort is required from both the partners. And the reward which you are going to get will be fantastic. If the three rules mentioned above are maintained very well then there will be a strong chance of long-term and wonderful relationship. 41. What is the best title for this passage? A.

B. Dear Dan,
It’s over! High school is now part of the past. But consider what your graduation day really means, aside from the gifts. It’s the beginning of a life filled with goals that only you can attain. You’ve made it through four important years, and
we’re confident you’ll make it through anything else you’ll have to face.
Very truly yours, ××××
C. Dear Tom,
I’m 16, but my grandmother treats me as if I were 5. She uses a baby voice around me, which is really annoying, but I’m afraid to say anything because I don’t want to make her feel bad. How can I tell her my feelings, and let her know I’m growing up?
Love, ××××
