You may have heard the saying, women are from Venus(金星) and men are from Mars (火星). It's a nice way of saying how men and women are quite different from each other in many ways.

These differences can be seen everywhere, even in how we communicate with friends. A recent study by the University of Oxford suggested that men and women keep relationships with friends far away in different ways.

Researchers questioned 30 students about their friendships just before they left for college. They followed up the questions nine months, and then 18 months later Robin Dunbar, who headed the research, told that how long friendships among women last depended on whether they made an effort to talk more to each other on the phone. Men, on the other hand, tended to (倾向于) do things differently. They went through months of not being with friends by planning meet-ups (见面) sometimes. This was the biggest difference between men and women.

Of course, gender (性别)isn't the only thing that influences how we stay in touch. The way we keep our friendships also depends on the preference(偏好) of each person, and it can take a while to find your own way of making your friendships work. One thing that is pretty clear though is that friends who make the effort to keep in touch, even if it's only through Wechat(微信)once a week, do tend to stay friends, no matter how far it is.

I walked along the sea for about an hour until I began to feel hungry. It was seven. By that time, I was not far away from a favourite restaurant of mine, where I often went to eat two or three times a week. I knew the owner well.

I went into the restaurant, which was already crowded (拥挤的), and ordered my meal. While I was waiting, I looked _________ to see if I knew anyone in the restaurant. Then I saw a man sitting at a corner table near the door keeping looking in my direction, as if he knew me. I certainly didn’t know him, for I never forget a___________. The man had a newspaper open in front of him. But I could see that he was keeping a (n) ___________ on me. When the waiter brought my soup, the man was clearly puzzled (困惑的) by the familiar (熟悉的) way that the waiter and I called each other. He became even more puzzled as ___________ went on. He could see that I was well ___________ in the restaurant. At last he got up and went into the kitchen. After a few minutes he came out again, paid for his meal and left.

When I finished, I called the owner of the restaurant out and asked him what the man wanted. The owner told me he was a policeman. “Really?” I was ___________. He was certainly interested in me. “But why?” I asked. “He ___________ you because he thought you were a man he was looking for,” the owner said. “When he came into the kitchen, he showed me a ___________ of the man. He certainly looked like you! Of course, since we _________ you well, I told him that he made a mistake.” It’s ____________ I came to a restaurant where I am known, or I might have been arrested (逮捕).
