awoke to find a friend of mine sitting in a chair across from my bed. I don't remember much
about his visit. But I will not forget that he visited me on that day, and sat there for I don't know
how long, while I was under the influence of a morphine drip(输液). We benefit greatly from
our close friendships, but they are not a matter of calculable gain or loss.
Our age, what we might call the age of economics, is strongly influenced by two types of
relationships that reflect the lives we are encouraged to lead. There are consumer relationships,
those that we participate in for the pleasure they bring us. They are focused on the present. It is
what brings immediate pleasure that matters. And there are entrepreneurial(商业的)relationships,
those that we invest in, hoping they will bring us some return.
Aristotle thought that there were three types of friendship: those of pleasure, those of usefulness,
and true friendship. In pleasure friendships, he said, "It is not for their character that men love
ready-witted people, but because they find them pleasant." About the usefulness friendships, he
said, "Those who love each other for their utility(效用)do not love each other for themselves, but
because of some good which they get from each other."
Although we benefit from our close friendships, these friendships are not a matter of calculable
gain and loss. Consumer pleasures are lasting for only a limited time. They surround us for a short
period and then they fade, like a drug. Entrepreneur friendship, when successful, leads to the victory
of personal gain.
It is precisely this non-economic character that is threatened in a society in which each of us is
offered only the choices of ownership, shopping, competition and growth. It is threatened when we
are led to believe that friendships without obvious recognizable gain are, in the economic sense,
irrational(不合理的). Friendships are not without reason, perhaps, but they are certainly without
that particular reason. Shared experience, not just everyday amusement or advancement, is the true
basis of friendship.

查看习题详情和答案>>Dear Carol,
I wear braces （牙箍） and I know I look just terrible in them. Is there anything I can do to improve my appearance until they come off?
Connie N.
Philadelphia, PA
Dear Connie,
Start by thinking about how good you are going to look when your braces come off. If you are negative about your appearance, people will pick that up right away about you. In the meantime there are several things that you can do to lift your spirits:
Change your hairstyle. Be sure to get a good cut so that the shape of your hair will be flattering to your face and also good for your type of hair （fine, thick, straight, curly, etc.） Choose a hairstyle that draws attention away from your face. Hair pulled back into a pony-tail or into a ball on top or slightly off-center can be attractive and practical for this purpose.
Keep skin clean. If you choose to wear makeup（化妆品）, it should look natural. Blusher（腮红） and lip gloss（润唇膏） in light tones of peach or pink are best.
Be well-groomed（打扮）. Neatness really counts. People see a total look about you before they ever become aware of your braces. And first impressions are lasting ones!
68. Why did Connie write to Carol?
A. Because she really cared about her clothes.
B. Because she cared much about her appearance.
C. Because her teeth were not good.
D. Because she didn’t know how to make up.
69. Carol’s idea about one’s appearance is that ___________.
A. change your hairstyle and you will look beautiful
B. wear your make-up and you will look good
C. neatness is not important
D. if you yourself don’t think you look smart, neither will people
70. Carol tries to let Connie know that ___________.
A. the deepest impressions one leaves on others is the first ones
B. spirits are important when we talk about one’s appearance
C. there are some practical ways to draw people’s attention away from where you don’t feel good
D. all of the above
71. The underlined word “count” means “___________” in the last paragraph.
A. say numbers in order B. be of importance C. not include D. be accepted
