14.Do we really know our best friends?I like my close friends a lot,and yet,on an almost daily basis,they shocked me.I have a friend who thinks voting is a waste of time; I have another friend who never takes any arrangement to meet at a given time and place seriously.
It's generally held that friends are people with whom we choose to develop relationships because we find their personalities agreeable,or similar to our own,and yet experience regularly contradicts this.What is a friend,really?All that one can safely say is that a friend is someone one likes and wishes to see again.
The truth is that we don't know our friends.Numerous studies show that we tend to assume our friends agree with us more than they really do.The striking part is that the problem doesn't appear to lessen as a friendship deepens.When the researchers Michael Gill and Bill Swann questioned students sharing rooms,they found that,as time passed,people became even more confident in the accuracy of their judgments about the other,and yet,in reality,the judgments grew no more accurate.Two people might become dear friends,yet remain ignorant about vast areas of each other's inner lives.
This seems strange,until you consider,that many of the benefits that friendship provides don't necessarily depend on perfect familiarity; they come from something closer to reliability.Friendship may be less about being drawn to someone's personality than about finding someone willing to keep you company,or lend an ear.A friend provides the"social-identity support"we desire.You needn't be a close match with someone,nor deeply familiar with their mind.And once a friendship has begun,you want to like it,if only to confirm that you made the right decision.We don't want to know everything about our friends.We don't base friendships on what we learn about people; we decide what to learn about people,and what to ignore,based on having decided to be friends.
Perhaps there's something moving aboun ways tht viewing friendship as an agreement to keep each other company,ignore each other's faults and not probe (刨根问底) too deeply iat might weaken the friendship.Perhaps a true friend is someone who doesn't ask many awkward questions.

解答 67.B 68.D 69.C 70.A
67B细节理解题.根据文章一句Do we really know our best friends?引出本话题,然后坐在举了自己朋友的两个例子来引出话题的讨论,故选B.
68D推理判断题.根据划线词所在句that many of the benefits that friendship provides don't necessarily depend on perfect familiarity; they come from something closer to reliability. 句意为"友情带来的很多好处不一定取决于极度熟悉,they来自于一种更像是信赖的东西"由此可推知,they指代上文提到的benefits,故选D.
69C细节理解题.A项根据文章最后一段friendship as an agreement to keep each other company,ignore each other's faults and not probe (刨根问底) too deeply iat might weaken the friendship. 可知A项错误,B项由第二段的最后一句that a friend is someone one likes and wishes to see again.可知B项错误.C项由第二段的第一句It's generally held that friends are people with whom we choose to develop relationships because we find their personalities agreeable,or similar to our own,and yet experience regularly contradicts this.可知普遍认为,朋友之间往往性格比较相投或相似,但实际情况却经常与之矛盾,所以C项正确.D项,由第三段中的students sharing rooms,they found that,as time passed,people became even more confident in the accuracy of their judgments about the other,and yet,in reality,the judgments grew no more accurate.可知,随着时间推移,学生们对他们对别人的评价的准确性更加有信心,可实际上他们对别人的判断却变得更加不准确,因此D项是错误的.
70A细节理解题.根据文章最后一段第一句Perhaps there's something moving aboun ways tht viewing friendship as an agreement to keep each other company,ignore each other's faults and not probe (刨根问底) too deeply iat might weaken the friendship 可知真正的朋友要懂得陪伴,忽视对方的缺点,不要问太多深入的问题,由此可知作者支持A项的维持友谊但保持距离的说法,故选A.
