16、ted，we often dont clearly understand how we make friends. While we get on well with a number of people，we are usually friends with only a very fewfor example；the average among students is about 6 per person.Moreover，a great many relationships come under the general term “friendship”.In all cases，two
17、 people like one another and enjoy being together，but beyond that，the degree of closeness between them and the reasons for them in each other vary greatly.At the beginning，much depends on how people meet，and on good first impressions. As we get to know people，we consider things like age，race，looks，e
18、conomic and social status，and intelligence. Although these factors are not of the greatest importance，it is more difficult to have a good relationship with people when there is a big difference in age and background.We pay attention to actual behavior，facial expression，and the way a person speaks. F
19、riends will stand closer together and will spend more time looking at each other than ordinary acquaintances. Smiles and soft voices also express friendliness，and it is because they may give the wrong signals that shy people often have difficulty in making friends. A friendly look with the wrong fac

29、 be strengthened by smiles and soft voices（答案：D A C D D A B）（Reading Time：8 minutes）FriendshipA high school history teacher once told us，“If you make one close friend in school，you will be most fortunate. A true friend is someone who stays with you for life.” Experience teachers that he was right. G
30、ood friendships are just not easily formed. Why？One reason is that it is easy to move around in our society. Mr. Darrell Sifford，a news reporter for the Washington Daily，has been studying and talking about friendship for a number of years. He reports what one woman thought about the effect of ease o
31、f movement on friendship：“I was nine，and wed just moved from South Carolina to New Jersey，and I didnt know anybody. My mother had a way of getting to the root of things and she said to me，Amelia，I know youre feeling bad because you dont have any friends. But you can fix that. Just walk across the st
32、reetI know theres a girl about your age over thereand knock on the door and ask her to be your friends.”She added that going about it directly always worked when she was a child. But as she left childhood，she found that the simple direct approach was more and more difficult for her to follow. So，as
33、an adult，Amelia longed to have friends but her hands were tied when it came to doing anything about it. The problem，according to her，is that society teachers us in a number of ways that direct action is not an acceptable way of doing things. We need to be less direct so that our feelings will not be
34、 hurt if our offer of friendship is refused.Mr. Sifford goes on to describe his own ideas on the subject：“To most of us，friendship is very important，but we need to have clear in our own minds the kinds of friendships we want. Are they to be very close or kept at arms length？Do we want to share ourse
35、lves or do we want walk on the surface？” “For some people，an ordinary friendship is enoughand thats all right. But at some point we need to make sure that what we expect from the friendship is the same as what our friends expect from it. If one wants more from the friendship than the other，and if th
36、is is not talked about，one is likely eventually to feel that hes not being given enough attention.”“The sharing of close friend secrets，including our fears as well as our dark dreams，is the surest way to deepen friendships. But the process must be gone through slowly and continued only if there are
37、signs of interest and our efforts are answered.”What are some of the problems in forming friendships？According to Mr. Sifford，the biggest problem is to expect too much too soon. Deep relationships take time. Another “big difficulty” is to think one “possesses” the other and that he should spend all
38、his time only with you. Similarly，friendships require action of developing friendship. Unless you spend enough time together，talking on the phone，writing letters，doing things together，friendships will gradually fade away.Why is it so difficult to form friendships？Perhaps it is possible，as Mr. Siffor
39、d states，that we simply do not stay in one place long enough for a true friendship to develop. However，we all agree that each of us should think carefully about the kind of friendships we want. As in all inter-personal relationships，success depends on the kind of friendship we expect to have，opennes
