I can still remember the first day when I met my best friend． I hid behind my mother and she hid behind her grandmother, 36 to look at each other． But we soon lost the 37 and started playing with each other． In the 7th grade, I first lost touch with her． She was 38 family problems and I deserted her to be with the “cooler people．” 39 of my new friends liked her as much as I did 40 they knew she had “problems”． However, every summer we would 41 sit at each other’s home and watch soap operas and talk about everything we liked．
It was last year when I 42 the problem． I guess I was just too busy in high school to realize she needed someone there for her． Well, she made a new “best friend” and 43 did I． Then I didn’t know why, but she started cutting herself．
She was diagnosed with clinical depression(抑郁症)． I was very 44 at first, but with the late night calls, we still stayed in 45 ． I wanted to be there for her since her new best friend 46 deserted her, when people were calling her 47 , but I knew I still 48 her like a sister．
Yesterday she came 49 me and said this,” I never knew what a best friend was 50 I found you were the only person that would stop me from cutting, the only person that ever made me feel better about myself and my 51 ． You don’t know this but I was trying to kill myself one night when you 52 me． I 53 you so much, and you didn’t even know you were 54 me．” We both cried． And I guess a kind of lesson from my life so far is to never 55 your friends．

The research, which followed 200 students in four years, found that women consistently(一贯地) out-performed men in their studies even though they had started their courses with almost identical(完全相同的) A-level grades.
An analysis(分析) of the results showed that, while 65 percent of female graduates were rewarded(授予奖赏), only 35 percent of males did as well. Girls are known to outperform boys at school, but this research shows that the trend continues at university.
Fiona Smith who led the study said, “The survey shows that the difference has to do with school in general. ”
“It also shows something about the inequality for working women in terms of pay and promotion(晋升). Women work harder at school, harder at university, and do better at both, yet they still receive less pay. ”
The survey found that female students were more faithful, less likely to miss lectures, and more likely to believe that their marks reflected their ability than male students. Female students were also more likely to ask for and receive support from their professors.
Women were also likely to choose their universities because they liked the courses being offered.
In contrast, men were more likely than women to miss lectures due to “other affairs” and “laziness”, and to believe that playing sports was an important part of university life.
Generally people think that women's success comes from more emphasis(强调)on coursework, but the survey shows that female geographers at Brunel did better in their exams than in their coursework.
Dr. Smith said, “Most women feel that getting good grades is the most important part of university life. They believe that they need to work harder in order to compete in the male-dominated(男性主导的)environment they will encounter(遭遇) at work. Good grades are viewed as an insurance policy for success. Men, on the other hand, prefer going out and playing sports to academic work. ”
“This survey shows how important it is to get all young people working hard and teach them the value of higher education. ”
1. Which statement is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Girls are always better, both at school and at university.
B. Men were more likely than women to miss lectures due to “other affairs” and laziness.
C. Female students were more faithful and less likely to miss lectures.

2. The cause of women performing better at university than men is that__________.
A. female students did better at school before entering university
B. women will not find jobs unless they work harder at university
C. women get more help and support from their teachers
D. more female students think good grades at university will benefit them in the future
3. The underlined word “It” in Paragraph five probably refers to__________.
A. a middle school phenomenon
B. the survey
C. the educational sex gap
D. the previously held opinion
4. The main purpose of the survey is__________.
A. to give the government some advice on higher education
B. to show the sex difference in higher education
C. to show us some information about higher education
D. to make all the students work hard and realize the importance of higher education
