1．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，（36）A．
At the beginning，much depends on how people meet，and on good first impressions．As we get to know people，（37）E．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．
Then，（38）F．Friends will stand closer together and will spend more time looking at each other than ordinary friends．Smiles and soft voices also express friendliness，and it is because they may give the wrong signals that shy people often have difficulty making friends．A friendly look with a wrong facial expression can turn into an unfriendly stare，and nervousness may be wrongly understood as unfriendliness．
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 opinion and interests．The more closely involved people become，the more they depend on each other．And （39）C．Equally，friends have to learn to make allowances for each other，to put up with annoying habits，and to accept differences in opinion．
In contrast with marriage，（40）G．But the support and understanding that results from shared experiences and affections does seem to create a close and lasting relationship．

A．we are usually friends with only a few
B．many factors can affect friendship and relationship
C．people want to do friends favors and hate to let them down
D．argument and discussion can improve personal relationships
E．we consider things like age，race，looks，economic and social status，etc
F．we pay attention to actual behavior，facial expression，and the way a person speaks
G．there are no friendship ceremonies to strengthen the relationship between two people．

20．Around 55%of people aged 18-34in Spain are still living in their parents'homes．The Spanish Government is so worried that it has decided to help them leave the nest．To persuade young people to leave their homes，the Youth Institute started a"Youth Emancipation（解放）"program this month，which offers guidance in finding rooms and jobs．
Economists say young people's family dependence is caused by job-loss and the increasing housing prices．
Cultural reasons also lead to the problem，say sociologists．Family ties in south Europe-Italy，Portugal and Greece-are stronger than those in middle and north Europe，for example，Finland．
In Spain，especially in the countryside，it is common to find entire groups of aunts，uncles，cousins，nieces and nephews all living on the same street．They regularly get together for Sunday dinner．
Parents'tolerance（宽容）is another reason．Spanish parents accept late-night partying and are careful of setting bedtime rules．"A child can arrive home at whatever time he wants．If parents are dissatisfied with him，he'll put up a big fight and call the father a Fascist（法西斯），"a sociologist at Carlos University in Madrid said．
Mothers'willingness to do everything for children worsens the problem．Dionisio Masso，a 60-year-old woman in Madrid，has three children in their 20s．The eldest，28，has a girlfriend and a job．But life with mum is good．"His mum does the wash and cooks for him；in the end，he lives well，"Masso said．

19．Last year I had a wonderful experience．I went on a student exchange to Japan．It was an exciting time of my life and Ilearned many things about the school system in Japan．I was in Grade 11，which is second year of high school in Japan，but I was younger than most of my classmates．That's because Japanese children enter first year of elementary school  in April following their sixth birthday．I started school when I was still five years old．
In Japan，Children attend elementary school for six years，where they study Japanese，arithmetic，science，social studies，music，crafts，physical education，and home economics （simple cooking and sewing skills）．During their three years in middle school，English is added to this list．Most schools have access to computers and the Internet．
The classes in my school seemed rather big to me，around 30students in a typical high school class．We ate lunch in the classroom，instead of a cafeteria and enjoyed a healthy，nutritious meal prepared by the school or by a local"school lunch centre"instead of eating the same，dry sandwiches every day．I really like the Japanese interpretation of school lunches．I also enjoyed the field trips and activities．At Japanese schools，there are many school events during the year，such as field day when students compete in tug-of-war，field trips，and arts and cultural festivals．

18．If you don't use a dictionary．What should you do instead？The first thing you can do is trying to guess what the word means．Often the surrounding context gives a very clear idea of the meaning of the word．Even if you can't work out the meaning exactly，you may be able to get a vague idea，enough to enable you to continue reading．
