Aunt Fannie was Blueberry Jam Woman.Of course she wasn't really my aunt, and out of fear, I never called that to her face. The name always made my father chuckle (轻笑) and my mother look sternly (严厉地) at both of us—at me for being disrespectful, and at my father for encouraging my bad behavior.I enjoyed both reactions, so I looked for every opportunity to work for the name into conversation.
As a young woman, my mother had worked in the kitchen of a large Victorian farm house owned by Fannie Cratty.Fannie was the last of the Cratty line；she had never married, and had no living heirs (继承人)．My father once told me that it was because she was too mean to share her family wealth or pass it on.Aunt Fannie was noted for her jam, and for never sharing the recipe (食谱) with another living soul.Even though my mother knew it by heart, as long as Aunt Fannie was alive, she never made the jam without Miss Cratty in our kitchen to direct the process and preserve the secret.
One year, after I had been particularly helpful with the jam-making process.Aunt Fannie gave me a quarter and then made me promise I would never spend it.“Hold onto this quarter，” she said，“and some day you will be rich.I still have my first very quarter.”It had obviously worked for her, so I put that 1938 quarter in a small box, put it in my dresser drawer, and waited to become rich.
I now have the blueberry-jam recipe and the quarter from Aunt Fannie.Neither has significantly contributed to my wealth, but I keep them to remind myself to hold onto the valuable things in life.Money can make you feel rich for a while, but it is your relationships, and your memories of time spent with friends and family that truly leave you wealthy.And that is a fortune that anyone can build.

文章大意：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了友谊的重要性。
解析：
1. 考查词性转换。句意：虽然独处可以引起反思和个人进步，但我们的生活不能没有友谊。personal是形容词，修饰名词， improve的名词是improvement，且为不可数名词。故填improvement。
2. 考查连词。句意：亲密的友谊可以安慰心灵，并帮助我们实现我们为自己设定的目标。“comfort the heart”和“help us to achieve the goals we set for ourselves”是并列关系，应用并列连词。故填and。
3. 考查非谓语动词。by是介词，其后跟动名词sharing作宾语。故填sharing。
4. 考查动词的时态和主谓一致。句意：分享让快乐变得有意义，分享让烦恼减半。句子主语是动名词Sharing，谓语动词用单数，且通篇时态是一般现在时。故填makes。
5. 考查定语从句的引导词。句意：其次，通过与明智和善意的朋友交谈，可以获得更好的理解和判断。设空处引导定语从句，从句中缺少主语，修饰先行词friends，指人。故填who/that。
6. 考查形容词的比较级。根据more thorough可知，设空处也应用比较级。故填clearer。
7. 考查介词。provide sb. with sth.是固定短语，意为“给某人提供某物”。故填with。
8. 考查词性转换。after为介词，后跟名词。故填death。
9. 考查动词的语态。此处指朋友是被选择，应用被动语态， should是情态动词， be动词应用原形。故填be chosen。
10. 考查词性转换。设空处应用形容词作定语修饰名词friends。trusted “可靠的，可信的”。故填trusted。
