问题                         Making Friends
    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 general term "friendship". In all cases, two people like one another and enjoy being together, but beyond that, the degree of closeness between them and the reasons for their interest in each other vary greatly.
    At the beginning, much depends on how people meet, and on good first impressions. As we get to know people, we consider things like age, race, looks, economic and social status, and intelligence. Although these factors are not of the greatest importance, it is more difficult to have a good relationship with people when there is a big difference in age and background.
    We pay attention to actual behavior, facial expression, and the way a person speaks. Friends will stand closer together and will spend more time looking at each other than ordinary acquaintances. Smiles and soft voices also express friendliness, and it is because they may give the wrong signals that shy people often have difficulty in making friends. A friendly look with the wrong facial expression can turn into an unfriendly stare, and nervousness may be wrongly understood as unfriendliness. People who do not look one in the eye are not trusted when, in fact, they simply do not have confidence.
    Some relationships are a result of argument and discussion, but it is usual for close friends to have the same ideas and beliefs, the same opinions and interests—they often talk about "being on the same wavelength. " The more closely involved people become, the more they depend on one another. People want to do friends favors and hate to Jet them down. Equally, friends have to learn to make allowances for each other, to put up with annoying habits, and to accept differences in opinion. Imagine going on a long trip with someone you occasionally meet for a drink!
    In contrast with marriage, there are no friendship ceremonies to strengthen the relationship between two people. But the mutual support and understanding that results from shared experiences and emotions does seem to create a close and lasting relationship, which can overcome differences in background, and break down barriers of age, class or race.  
We learn from the passage that______.
选项 A、friendship can overcome differences in experience
B、there are no special ceremonies to strengthen friendship
C、putting up with differences in opinion can lead to friendship
D、friendship can be strengthened by smiles and soft voices
答案B
解析 本题是细节考查题。题目是：我们从这篇短文中得知______。选B的依据是最后一段的第一句：“In contrast with marriage，there are no friendship ceremonies to strengthen the relationship between two people．"与婚烟不同的是，没有友谊仪式加强双方的关系。选项B没有专门的仪式加强友情，与原文意思相符。
