A few days ago, I got a letter from a student. In his letter, he told me, “I have this friend at school. She’s one of my good friends but lately she has been ___36__ strange. When I talked to her the other day, she said coldly, ‘Do I look like I care?’ She was being all strange to me. She told me __37___ she thought I was a bad friend, but she still thinks I am her best friend. I am so confused.”
In my letter in reply, I gave him my advice:
After reading your question, I can understand why you’re confused. It sounds like your relationship with your friend is a little shaky. There could be several reasons for her __38__. For example, maybe she has a lot on her mind and is __39__ a few challenges of her own. She may not feel comfortable talking to anyone about them __40__ and may just need a little time to sort through her own feelings. Or, on the day you talked to her, she could have been having a bad day and didn’t realize she was very cold to you. I could list a few more __41__for you, but you know, __42__, the only person who knows why your friend reacted that way is your friend. My__43__ to you is to tell her how you feel. Let her know she hurt your feelings and ask why on some days she’s nice to you, and on other days she isn’t __44__ nice. It could be that your friend is making some other new friends at school and is having difficulty __45___ her old relationships. Whatever her reasons are, you should let her know that you are a unique, caring person who certainly deserves a good friendship at school, _46__ you wouldn’t have taken the time to write me. If your __47__ with this person fades a bit, it’s OK, because you will develop may other friendships.

解析

 
36.act 在此处用作动词，表示“行为，举止”。
37.before 在此为adv. “before she thought”意为“以前她认为”。
38. reaction表示“反应”，即指那天来信中的学生和他朋友聊天时，他朋友对他的反应。
39.go through “经历，遭遇”。
40. yet “仍然”。句意：她也许仍然觉得和别人谈自己遇到的棘手的问题不舒服
41句意：我还可以列出几条建议供你选择。但说老实话，你的朋友行为举止为何如此，唯有他自己知道。
42.解析同上。last but not the least 意为“importantly”。
43.根据下文可知，这里应选择“建议”。
44.这里的as nice 根据语境可得知原句：on other days she isn’t as nice as she’s nice to you on some days.
45. balance在此处作动词，表示“使……平衡”。
46.otherwise “否则”。
47.句意：如果你与她亲密的关系有所疏远的话，也没什么关系，因为你可以结交许多其它的朋友。
