Two veterans(老兵) both fought in Vietnam war and witnessed the loss of their friends. But after the war, they led very different lives. 30 years after the war, one was 1 and lonely while the other was happy and healthy, 2 by a loving family and close friends.
So, what was the 3 ?

5 having to feel the pain of losing them.

13 has meaning except the meaning you give it. You are 14 for giving meaning to everything that has 15 in your life.

2.【解析】选C。考查动词。第二个幸福的老兵被家人和朋友包围着(surrounded)。
3.【解析】选A。他们之间有什么差别（difference）呢？第四段最后一句“What a big difference that made! ”也给出了暗示。

5.【解析】选B。考查动词。所以他生活在痛苦中，不愿意和任何人保持密切的关系，为了避免(avoid)在失去他们时经历痛苦。
6.【解析】选C。根据语境可知，上下文表示转折关系，故选C。

8.【解析】选A。所以他心中充满了感恩，珍惜(treasuring)与亲人在一起的每一刻。此处与上一句中的“cherish every moment of it”相照应。
9.【解析】选B。give a talk“作报告”。根据下文的内容可知此处答案为B。
