【分析】
本题为短文填空题，需围绕短文主旨（关于交友的建议），结合空格处的语法结构、固定搭配、词性转换及上下文逻辑确定答案。解题时先通读全文理解大意，再逐个分析每个空格：1.考查疑问词+不定式结构；2.考查名词形式；3.考查介词搭配；4.考查连词逻辑；5.考查名词转换；6.考查固定搭配；7.考查固定短语；8.考查副词形式；9.考查非谓语动词作主语；10.考查名词形式。
【解析】
1. 固定结构“疑问词how + 不定式”作know的宾语，故填to make；
2. some后需接名词，advise的名词形式为advice（不可数），故填advice；
3. 固定搭配“on one's face”表示“在脸上”，故填on；
4. 前后句为因果关系（前果后因），需用连词because，故填because；
5. a后接可数名词单数，listen对应的表示人的名词为listener（倾听者），故填listener；
6. 固定搭配“remember to do sth”表示“记得要做某事”，故填to nod；
7. 固定短语“be interested in”表示“对……感兴趣”，故填interested；
8. 此处需用副词修饰整个句子，final的副词形式为Finally（句首首字母大写），故填Finally；
9. 动名词短语作主语，故填making；
10. 根据语境“你们的友谊”，friendship可作可数或不可数名词，故填friendship(s)；
【答案】
1. to make
2. advice
3. on
4. because
