Betty and Harold have been married for years. But one thing still puzzled (困扰) old Harold. How is it that he can leave Betty and her friend Joan sitting on the sofa, talking, go out to a ballgame, come back three and a half hours later, and they’re still sitting on the sofa? Talking?
What in the world, Harold wonders, do they have to talk about?
Betty shrugs. Talk? We’re friends.
Researching this matter called friendship, psychologist Lillian Rubin spent two years interviewing more than two hundred women and men. No matter what their age, their job, their sex, the results were completely clear: women have more friendships than men, and the difference in the content and the quality of those friendships is "marked and unmistakable."
More than two-thirds of the single men Rubin interviewed could not name a best friend. Those who could were likely to name a woman. Yet three-quarters of the single women had no problem naming a best friend, and almost always it was a woman. More married men than women named their wife/husband as a best friend, more trusted person, or the one they would turn to in time of emotional distress (感情危机). "Most women," says Rubin, "identified (认定) at least one, usually more, trusted friends to whom they could turn in a troubled moment, and they spoke openly about the importance of these relationships in their lives."
"In general," writes Rubin in her new book," women’s friendships with each other rest on shared emotions and support, but men’s relationships are marked by shared activities. "For the most part, Rubin says, interactions (交往) between men are emotionally controlled—a good fit with the social requirements of "manly behavior."
"Even when a man is said to be a best friend," Rubin writes," the two share little about their innermost feelings. Whereas a woman’s closest female friend might be the first to tell her to leave a failing marriage, it wasn’t unusual to hear a man say he didn’t know his friend’s marriage was in serious trouble until he appeared one night asking if he could sleep on the sofa."
Rubin’s study shows that for emotional support a married woman is more likely to turn to ______.
选项
A、a male friend
B、a female friend
C、her parents
D、her husband
答案
B
解析
本题要求考生指出Rubin的研究表明女人最可能向谁寻求感情上的支持。答案主要依据第六段和最后一段women’s friendships with each other rest on shared emotions and support,即“女人之间的友谊通常建立在共同的感情和感情方面的支持上,”和最后一段,a woman’s closest female friend might be the first to tell her to leave a failing marriage,“女人的最亲密的朋友往往是劝她脱离失败的婚姻的第一人”。由此可判断B选项贴切。
