阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Dear Dani，
My friend makes up stories about things she has done all the time and other people at school believe her.What should I do?
Anna
Dani says：
Often people make things up because they're worried that they are not interesting.So let your friend know that she doesn't need stories to make friends or impress (给……留下深刻的印象) others.Point out that when others discover the truth, they won't be impressed at all.
Dear Dani，
I have two best friends and they're always leaving me out! They never invite me to anything.What can I do?
Tom
Dani says：
Groups of three can be very difficult because one person often gets left out.Your friends may not realise how you feel.Talk to them about this and agree to plan the next outing together.With a bit of effort, a group of three can be a wonderful friendship!
Dear Dani，
I told my friend a secret, but then I found out she told it to somebody else.What can I do?
Daisy
Dani says：
We all make mistakes, so give your friend another chance.But tell her that your secret is important to you and that she must not do this again.If your friend finds it hard to keep a secret, be careful what you tell her in future.
Dear Dani，
I'm friends with a boy, but some girls keep laughing at me about it.Can't girls be friends with boys as well?
Mary
Dani says：
Of course girls can be friends with boys.Some girls laugh at this because they don't really know any boys.Carry on enjoying your friendship.If the girls got to know this boy, they might stop teasing you.Why not invite one or two of them along next time you meet him?
