阅读 Passage One
College students who want to be rich with lifelong friends need to invest time and seek out opportunities to develop their interests now, says a Purdue University communication expert. \there are many technological and media distractions,\says Glenn Sparks, a professor of communication who studied the 19-year friendships of a group of 1983 college graduates. The geographic and personal distance between people continues to grow, and there are some harmful effects for those who lack quality relationships. Friends are essential because they provide emotional stability in a person's life. \make investments, and it is never too early to start.\
Sparks was part of a research team that followed the friendships of 32 pairs of same-sex and 13 pairs of male-female best friends from 1983 to 2002. The initial quality and closeness of their friendships were measured in different ways, including how well they played a game that assessed levels of communication and understanding. Follow-up studies took place in 1987 and 2002. Sixty-four of the individuals, including at least one friend from 38 of the pairs, participated in the 2002 study.
On average, the participants in this study moved six times during 19 years, and the typical distance between friends was 895 miles. In addition to geographic distance, friendships also were affected
by romantic relationships, careers and children.
\can be a rarity in today's changing environment,\in this age of constant mobility. When something good or bad happens, pick up the phone to share the news with a close friend. Every time you do this it reinforces the friendship, and that can add up over the years.\
Sparks said he is concerned that today's college students' emerging friendships will be influenced by technological distractions, such as the Internet, television and online games. Some college students may not be as likely to meet new people because they are using the Internet to communicate with friends at home. \offers great capabilities to keep in touch with people, but it also can keep us from really getting to know someone,\
And for those no longer in college, Sparks says there is indirect evidence from this study that lapsed friendships may be restarted successfully even after a lull in communication for years. \find a friendship that will last your whole life, and that is a great thing.\
1. Which of the following factors is NOT mentioned to lead to the difficulty in maintain long-term true friendships? A) Marriage distraction. B) Technological distraction. C) Distance distraction. D) Media distraction.
2. What kind of research method is adopted by Spark's team? A) Longitudinal study(历时研究). B) Experiment. C) Interview. D) Questionnaire.
3. According to Spark's study, all of the following are factors affecting relationships except __________. A) geographic distance B) romantic relationship C) career D) personality
4. What is the possible meaning of the underlined word \ A) secure B) host C) attach D) fasten 5. Which of the following statements is true? A) There are no harmful effects for those who lack quality friends. B) It is too late to make investments to friendship for a college student. C) From Spark's study, it is obvious that one can maintain the lost friendship even after a lack of communication for years. D) To some extent, the Internet strengthens the affectionate ties between college students and their friends because of its convenience. Passage Two
I remember the day I found out Ross and Rachel were going to kiss. It was two days before the episode(电视剧集), and I was at lunch with some friends. The word was: Don't miss this week's show. I know how strange that may sound. It certainly wasn't one of the more significant events of the past 10 years, and it was, you know, fictional. But every decade has its defining pop culture moments, and for millions of us who were 20-somethings in the 1990s, that was one.
From the moment Friends first appeared on our screens in 1994, it stood out. The six characters
were friends of mine from college, friends from high school, peers from just being a middle-class, white American entering the post-college world. And I always felt Friends respected me -- and my intelligence. Mostly because the show never seemed to be trying to make the audience laugh. It was more like the characters were laughing with us.
Friends helped restore the \jokes -- and almost always came from situations that the characters themselves didn't realize were funny. To me, that's always been one of the greatest strengths of the show's writing, and has put so many other comedies to shame. After 10 years, according to my math, I've spent more than 85 hours of my life watching Friends. And I don't regret a second.
Whenever newspapers and magazines have written about the Friends phenomenon, they've inevitably followed up with some perplexing letters to the editor. People write in decrying the \like the show, don't watch it.
Of course, some of the complaints do touch on truths. Yes, Friends isn't actually real, and has taken pains to avoid anything remotely controversial -- no real talk about politics or religion -- and has had a notable paucity(少量) of racial diversity. It's not a complete picture of anything in the real world, and it's not supposed to be. However, it has successfully captured a slice of life. And if, decades from now, people look back on this show -- among other things, of course -- to get some insight into the pop culture zeitgeist(时代精神) of 1994?004, that's fine by me.
So now I say goodbye to the program that's achieved so much. It's sad, but not because I'll miss the show. It really is time for it to end. It's sad because the end of Friends means, in this one little way, the end of an era. Basically, it's a reminder that my friends and I are growing up. We're not 20-somethings in coffee shops anymore.
