4．Is True Friendship Dying Away？
Just as our daily life is becoming more technologically connected，we are losing other more meaningful relationship．
To anyone paying attention these days，it's clear that social media-whether Twitter，Facebook，or Iinkedln-are changing the way we conduct relationship．Face-to-face chatting is giving way to texting and messaging； people even prefer these electronic exchanges to，for instance，simply talking on a phone．Among these smaller trends，growing research suggests we could be entering a period of crisis for the entire concept of friendship．Where is all this leading modern-day society？Perhaps to a dark place，a lonelier society where electronic craze slowly replaces the joys of human contact．
Typically，the pressures of urban life are blamed．Witness crowded bars and restaurants after work：We have plenty of acquaintances，though perhaps few individuals we can turn to and share close relationships．American sociologists have tracked related trends on a broader scale，well beyond the urban jungle．According to work published in the American Sociological Review，the average American has only two close friends，and a quarter don't have any．
While social networking sites and the like have grown dramatically，the crucial element is the quality of the connections they establish．A connection may only be a click away，but establishing a good friendship takes more．It seems common sense to conclude that"friending"online brings about shallow relationships as the term"friending"itself implies．
No single person is at fault，of course．The pressures on friendship today are broad．They arise from the demands of work，or a general busyness that means we have less quality time for others．How many individuals would say that friendship is the most important thing in their lives，only to move thousands of miles across the continent to take up a better-paid job？
Of course，we learn how to make friends or not in our childhood．Recent studies on childhood and how the contemporary life of the child affects friendships are illuminating（启示）．A central conclusion often reached relates to a lack of what is called"unstructured time"．Structured time results from the way an average day is arranged for our kids-time for school，time for homework，time for music practice，even time for play．Yet too often today，no period is left unstructured．After all，who these days lets his child just wander off down the street？We simply"hang out"，with no tasks，no deadlines and no pressures．It is in those moments that children and adults alike can get to know others for who they are in themselves．
Aristotle had an attractive expression to capture the thought：close friends，he observed，"share salt together．"It's not just that they sit together，passing the salt across the meal table．It's that they sit with one another across the course of their lives，sharing its moments，bitter and sweet．"The desire for friendship comes quickly； friendship does not．"Aristotle also remarked．
If there is a secret to close friendship，that's it．Put down the device； engage the person．Title：Is True Friendship Dying Away？

2．Tang Xianzu and William Shakespeare were contemporaries （同代人），who coincidentally died in the same year．
Japanese scholar Aoki Masarut was the first to draw a link between the two in his 1943book A History of Chinese Literary Thought．Yet，dying in the same year，1616，is not reason enough to put them together．
Scholars who specialize either in Tang or Shakespeare are looking for similarities between the two as the anniversaries （周年） of their deaths are marked in the United Kingdom，China and around the globe．
"Tang Xianzu was not China's Shakespeare，"said Chen Guohua，a professor at Beijing Foreign Studies University，striking a rare discordant（不和谐的） note．"He was just China's Tang Xianzu．Nobody in the English-speaking world can hold a candle to Shakespeare，and Tang was just one of the greats of Chinese drama．Guan Hanqing and Wang Shifu were equally skillful．"
Both Tang's and Shakespeare's plays were meant for the stage，but they served different audiences．Shakespeare was a professional dramatist while Tang was a civil servant who happened to pen a few plays and thousands of poems．Tang's lines were sung mostly at family theaters at a time when noblemen and retired officials were patrons （赞助人） of the arts who owned and ran their own entertainment troupes．Shakespeare，the English Bard （吟游诗人） had to sell tickets to whoever would buy them．
That probably affected their writing styles．While Tang's language is extremely difficult and the rhymes （韵律） come on like hurricanes，it is a wonder that Shakespeare's vast vocabulary could be understood by those in the Globe Theatre back then．And given that the Bard's subject matter runs such a wide range，most people，whatever their tastes，could take away something．
Though no one can touch the Bard in range and richness，there is one area where Tang shines，and that is in the use of dreams，not only as a plot device but also a philosophical tool．His quartet of plays （四梦） all built on dreams，often indicating that life is empty and all the demand for power eventually amounts to nothing．
In The Peony Pavilion （牡丹亭），his most famous play，Tang raised the dream to a higher level that Sigmund Freud would have recognized．It is the subconscious （潜意识） world of the major characters，especially Du Liniang，the noble young lady who whiles away her youth in a gilded cage．It is not a traditional love story because she had not seen or known the young man．
Of all Shakespeare's works，the dream features in A Midsummer Night's Dream．The forest near Athens is similar to the family garden in The Peony Pavilion，a neighboring quarter that sets free the desires of the young．
For the ending，Pavilion brings sadness that is absent from Shakespeare's Dream．But lyricism and earthy humor are present in both plays．And both tales can be sung or danced because they lend themselves to other forms of performing arts．Pavilion，intended as an opera，has also been chaned into plays but has been less successful．
They both represent peaks in culture，but we should stop from measuring which peak is higher and focus on what's unique about each of them instead．And the comparison of Tang and Shakespeare can serve as a point of departure for meaningful conversations about art，literature and cultural inspirations，rather than being an end in itself．
65．What can we learn from the first three paragraphs？C
A．Tang and Shakespeare died for the same reason．
B．Tang and Shakespeare were born in the same year．
C．The four hundredth anniversary of their deaths is in 2016．

5．Eliza Doolittle，a poor flower girl who was ambitious to improve herself，came from the west end of London．She made a living by （61）selling（sell）flowers in the streets．One day，she met with Professor Higgins who was （62）an expert in phonetics，convinced that the quality of a person's English depended on his or her position in society．Professor laughed at Eliza's terrible English and promised（63）proudly （proud） that once taught to speak properly，the girl could pass（64）herself off in three months as a duchess at an ambassador's garden party．Eliza thought that it was a chance for her （65）to change（change）her life．So she went to Higgin's house and asked him to teach her but （66）was refused （refuse）．At that time，professor's friend Colonel Pickering，an officer in the army，was interested in the girl's （67）education （educate）．He bet with the professor that he might not teach Eliza successfully，（68）which made the proud professor accept Eliza （69）as a student and decided to teach her not only pronunciation （70）but also grammar．
