You are going to read a text about different types of friendship, followed by a list of examples. Choose the best example from the list for each numbered subheading.
I was thinking about how everybody can’t be everything to each other, but some people can be something to each other, thank God, from the ones whose shoulder you cry on to the ones whose half slips you borrow to the nameless ones you chat with in the grocery line.
(41) Buddies:
They are the workhorses of the friendship world. They are the people out there on the front lines, defending you from loneliness and boredom.
(42) Working Friend:
Then there is that special guy at work. Like all the other people at the job site al first he’s just part of the scenery. But gradually he starts to stand out from the crowd.
(43) A Faraway Friend
He/she is someone you grew up with or went to school with or lived in the same town as until one of you moved away.
(44) The Former Friend:
Ah, a sad thing. At best a sad memory, at worst a dangerous enemy who is in possession of many of your deepest secrets.
(45) Friends You Love to Hate:
And lest we forget, there are the friends you love to hate.
A New Friend is a tonic unlike any other. Say you meet her at a party, in your bowling league. At a Japanese conversation class, perhaps. Wherever, whenever, there’s that spark of recognition. The first time you talk, you can’t believe how much you have in common. Suddenly, your life story is interesting again, your insights fresh, your opinion valued. Your various shortcomings are as yet completely invisible. It’s almost like falling in love.
A. They call at inopportune times. They say stupid things. They butt in, they boss you around, they embarrass you in public. They invite themselves over. They take advantage. You’ve done the best you can, but they need professional help. On top of all this, they love you to death and are convinced they’re your best friends on the planet.
B. They call you up, they listen to your complaints, they celebrate your successes and curse your misfortunes, and you do the same for them in return. They hold out through innumerable crises before concluding that the person you’re dating is no good, and even then understand if you ignore their good counsel. They accompany you to a movie with subtitles or to see the diving pig at Aquarena Springs. They feed your cat when you are out of town and pick you up from the air port when you get back.
C. While so many family relationships are tinged with guilt and obligation, a relationship with a Relative Friend is relatively worry-free. You don’t even have to hide your vices from this delightful person. When you slip out Aunt Joan’s back door for a cigarette, she is already there.
D. Your friendship is cemented by jokes about coworkers and thoughtful favors around the office. Did you see Ryan’s hair? "Want half of my bread." Soon you know the names of his turtles, what he did last Friday night, exactly which model CD player he wants for his birthday. His hand writing is as familiar to you as your own.
E. But what was it that drove you apart? A misunderstanding, a betrayed confidence, an un-repaid loan, an ill-conceived flirtation. A poor choice of spouse can do in a friendship just like that. Going into business together can be a serious mistake. Time, money, distance, religions: all noted friendship killers. You quit doing drugs, you’re not such good friends with your dealer anymore.
F. Without them, you would never get any mail addressed in handwriting. A Faraway Friend calls late at night, invites you to her wedding, always says she is coming to visit but rarely shows up. An actual visit from a Faraway Friend is a cause for celebration and parties of all kinds. Cigarettes, Chips Ahoy, bottles of tequila.
选项
答案
B
解析
浏览一下首段和各个小标题内容,也可看出本文是对一个人周围人的不同角色的分析。首先是伙伴。首句对buddies进行定义,指出伙伴会让你不再感到孤独和无聊。可以判断,这部分的支持性细节应该是对buddies如何让你摆脱孤独和无聊进行具体说明。B中的call you up,listen to your com plaints,celebrate your Successes,accompany you to a movie等显然都是好朋友通常的做法,可以让你感到快乐,不是孤单一人,这与前文内容一致,故为答案。
