答案：1. 答案：means
解析：動名詞短語“Having more friends”作主語，謂語動詞用第三人稱單數(shù)形式，“mean”意為“意味著”，所以填“means”。
2. 答案：taking
解析：“or”連接并列成分，前面是“parties, sports”，此處應用動名詞形式，“take a walk”的動名詞是“taking a walk”，所以填“taking”。
3. 答案：chances
解析：“more”后接可數(shù)名詞復數(shù)，“chance”意為“機會”，復數(shù)形式是“chances”，表示有更多學習的機會，所以填“chances”。
4. 答案：creative
解析：此處需要形容詞修飾名詞“ideas”，“create”的形容詞形式是“creative”，意為“有創(chuàng)造性的”，所以填“creative”。
5. 答案：better
解析：這里是將“fewer but closer friends”和“more friends”進行比較，要用比較級，“good”的比較級是“better”，所以填“better”。
6. 答案：understand
解析：主語“Close friends”是復數(shù)，句子是一般現(xiàn)在時，謂語動詞用原形，“understand”意為“理解”，所以填“understand”。
7. 答案：secrets
解析：“secret”是可數(shù)名詞，這里表示“你的秘密（們）”，應用復數(shù)形式“secrets”，所以填“secrets”。

9. 答案：matters
解析：“What matters”是固定表達，意為“重要的是”，主語是“What”，謂語動詞用第三人稱單數(shù)形式，所以填“matters”。
