[单选题]Friendship
Friends play an important part in our lives, and although we may take the fact of friendship for granted, we often don"t clearly understand how we make friends. While we get on well with a number of people,we are usually friends with only a very few—for example,the average among students is about 6 per person.
Moreover,a great many relationships come under the blanket term "friendship". In all cases, two people like each other and enjoy being together, but beyond that, the degree of intimacy between them and the reasons for their mutual interest vary enormously.
Initially, much depends on how people meet, and on favourable first impressions. As we get to know people, we take into account things like age, race, physical attractiveness, economic and social status,and intelligence. Although these factors are not of prime importance, it is more difficult to relate to people when there is a marked difference in age and back ground.
On a more immediate level, we are sensitive to actual behaviour, facial expression, and tone of voice. Friends will stand closer together and will spend more time looking at each other than mere acquaintances. Smiles and soft voices also express friendliness, and it is because they may transmit the wrong signals that shy people often have difficulty in making friends. A friendly gaze with the wrong facial expression can turn into an aggressive stare, and nervousness may be misread as hostility. People who do not look one in the eye are mistrusted when, in fact, they simply lack confidence.
Some relationships thrive on argument and discussion, but it is usual for close friends to have similar ideas and beliefs, to have attitudes and interests in common-they often talk about "being on the same wavelength". It generally takes time to reach this point;sometimes people "click" immediately. The more intimately involved people become, the more they rely on one another. People want to do friends favours and hate to let them down. Equally, friends have to learn to make allowances for each other,to put up with irritating habits,and to tolerate differences of opinion. Imagine going camping with someone you occasionally meet for a drink!
In contrast with marriage, there are no friendship ceremonies, no rituals to strengthen the association between two people. But the mutual support and understanding that results from shared experiences and emotions does seem to create a powerful bond, which can overcome differences in background, and break down barriers of age, class or race.
In all cases, close friends have similar beliefs and interests. ()。

[单选题]Job or Money?
Would you quit your job if you didn't need the money? In a 1990 poll by the Gallop Organization, many people said quitting work was an important reason to be rich. Yet researchers find that work is one of life's chief satisfactions for people.
Consider W. Berry Fowler. In 1979, Fowler started a tutoring company that became so successful he was able to sell out and retire in 1978—a multimillionaire at 40. He bought a 50-foot cabin cruiser and a house in Hawaii,and busied himself vacationing.
But after five years of perpetual vacation, Fowler began to miss the challenges of work. So in 1992, he bought a fitness chain for children and now spends 75 hours a week immersed in balance sheets and staff meetings. "My best days on the golf course weren't half as much fun as a good day at the office,"he says.
A job, studies show, is more than a paycheck. Doing something well can increase confidence and self-worth. When sociologist H.Ray Kaplan surveyed 139 lottery millionaires, he discovered 60 percent continued working at least a year after they'd won.
If jobs are so important, wouldn't salary size be a gauge of job satisfaction? Americans think so. A survey conducted last year by Roper Starch Worldwide, Inc., found that almost 70 percent of the respondents said they would be happier if their families had twice as much household income. Yet studies show that job satisfaction comes less from how much people earn than from the challenge of their jobs and the control they are able to exert, Work that doesn't engage a person will never seem rewarding,no matter how lucrative it becomes.
Researchers did another survey after the Gallop poll.()。

They Say Ireland's the Best
Ireland is the best place in the world to live for 2005 , according to a life quality ranking(排名)
that appeared in Britain's Economist magazine last week.
The ambitious attempt to compare happiness levels around the world is based on the principle that wealth is not the only measure of human satisfaction and well-being.
The index of 111 countries uses data on incomes, health，unemployment, climate, political stability ,job security , gender(性别) equality as well as what the magazine calls “freedom, family and community life".
Despite the bad weather , troubled health service ，traffic congestion(拥挤) , gender inequality ,and the high cost of living , Ireland scored an impressive 8. 33 points out of 10.
That put it well ahead of second-place Switzerland , which managed8.07. Zimbabwe troubled by political insecurity and hunger，is rated the gloomiest(最差的) ,picking up only 3. 89 points.
“Although rising incomes and increased individual choices are highly valued," the report said,
some of the factors associated with modernization such as the breakdown in traditional institutions
and family values in part take away from a positive impact.”
“Ireland wins because it successfully combines the most desirable elements of the new with the preservation of certain warm elements of the old , such as stable family and community life.”
The magazine admitted measuring quality of life is not a straightforward thing to do, and that its
findings would have their critics.
No.2 on the list is Switzerland. The other nations in the top 10 are Norway , Luxembourg , Sweden，Australia , Iceland , Italy , Denmark and Spain.
The UK is positioned at No. 29 , a much lower position chiefly because of the social and family
breakdown recorded in official statistics. The US，which has the second highest per capita GDP after Luxembourg, took the 13th place in the survey. China was in the lower half of the league at 60th.
Modernization does not necessarily contribute to high quality of life.

[单选题]Working Mothers
Carefully conducted researches that have followed the children of working mothers have not been able to show any long-term problems, compared with children whose mothers stayed at home.

There are those who have invested such a big part of their lives in establishing a career that they cannot 3 to see it lost. Then there are many who must work out of pure economic necessity. Many mothers are not 4 out to be full-time parents. After a few months at home with a much loved infant .they fell trapped and isolated.
There are a number of options when it 5 to choosing childcare.

Saving Money
Where you save your money often depends on what you are saving for. If you are saving to buy a dictionary or to go to a concert,then you probably keep your money 31 in your room.
If you are 32 for a big purchase like a mountain bike or a school trip,where would you save your money?
One place to save money is the bank. Putting your money in a savings account will help your money33 more money. If you put your money in a piggy bank (猪形储蓄罐)，one year later you'11 still have the 34 amount of money you put in. If you put your money in a savings account,one year later,you' 11 have more money than you put in. Why?
When you keep your money in a 35 , your money earns interest. 36 is the amount of money a bank pays you to use your money. The bank uses your money(and the money of other people，too)to loan money to people and businesses.
Another way you can save money is to buy a certificate of deposit or CD. If you have some money that you don't need to use for a 37 time，this is a good way to make your money 38 .
Since the bank is using your money for that time period, it will 39 you interest. You will earn more interest with a CD than in a savings account. Can you guess why? It’s because you promise to leave your money in the bank for a certain period of time. Banks pay 40 rates of interest.
