    In France, as in many European countries, friends generally are of the same sex, and friendship is seen as basically a relationship between men.
    (41)______.
    And many French people doubt the possibility of a friendship between a man and a woman. There is also the kind of relationship within a group—men and women who have worked together for a long time, who may be very close, sharing great loyalty and warmth of feeling. They may call one another—copains—a word that in English becomes "friends" but has more the feeling of "pals or "buddies". In French eyes this is not friendship, although two members of such a group may well be friends.
    For the French, friendship is one-to-one relationship that demands a keen awareness of the other person’s intellect, temperament and particular interests.
    (42)______.
    Your political philosophy assumes more depth, appreciation of a play becomes sharper, taste in food or wine is enhanced, enjoyment of a sport is intensified.
    And French friendships are divided into categories. A man may play chess with a friend for thirty years without knowing his political opinion, or he may talk politics with him for a long time without knowing about his personal life.
    (43)______.
    These friendships are not made part of family life. A friend is not expected to spend evenings being nice to children or courteous to a deaf grandmother. These duties, also serious and required, are primarily for relatives. Men who are friends may meet in a café. Intellectual friends may meet in large groups for evenings of conversation. Working people may meet at the little bistro where they drink and talk, far from the family.
    (44)______.
    In the past in France, friendships of this kind seldom were open to any but intellectual women. The special relationship of friendship is based on what the French value most—on the mind, on having the same outlook, on vivid a awareness of some chosen area of life.
    (45)______.

A. A friend is someone who draws out your own best qualities, with whom you sparkle and become more of whatever the friendship draws upon.
B. Between French friends, who have chosen each other for the similarity of their point of view, lively disagreement and sharpness of argument are the breath of life.
C. Frenchwomen laugh at the idea that "women can’t be friends", but they also admit sometimes that for women "it is a different thing".
D. Marriage does not affect such friendship; wives don’t have to be taken into account.
E. Since most women’s lives centered on their homes, their warmest relations with other women often went back to their girlhood.
F. A Frenchman explains," if I were to say to you in France, ’This is my good friend,’ that person would not be as close to me as someone about whom I said only, ’This is my friend. ’Anyone about whom I have to say more is really less".
G. Different friends fill different niches in each person’s life.
选项
答案C
解析 该句很容易选择。其前后两句都提到法国女士对待友情的态度，该句前面提到友情被视为男士间的基本关系，后句又提到很多法国人对男女间建立友谊的可能性表示怀疑。可见只有C选项符合上下句意。
