问题     Not too many decades ago it seemed "obvious" both to the general public and to sociologists
that modern society has changed people’s natural relations, loosed their responsibilities to
kins and neighbors, and substituted in their place for superficial relationships with passing
acquaintances. However, in recent years a growing body of research has revealed that the
"obvious" is not true. It seems that if you are a city resident, you typically know a smaller
proportion of your neighbors than you if you are a resident of a smaller community. But, for
the most part, this fact has a few significant consequences. It does not necessarily follow
that if you know few of your neighbors you will know no one else.
    Even in very large cities, people maintain close social ties within small, private social
worlds. Indeed, the number and quality of meaningful relationships do not differ from more
and less urban people. Small-town residents are more involved with kin than do big-city
residents. Yet city dwellers compensate by developing friendships with people who share
different interests and activities. Urbanism may produce a different style of life, but the quality
of life does not differ between town and city. Nor are residents of large communities any
likely to display psychological symptoms of stress or alienation than are residents of smaller
communities. However, city dwellers do worry more about crime, and which leads them
to a distrust of strangers.

答案第13行的different→similar。
解析 该句的意思是“小镇居民与那些和自己有相似兴趣和活动的人发展友谊。”根据常识，发展友谊的前提是相似的或者相同的兴趣和活动，因为仅限修改一个单词，所以改为similar。
