【4】him→them
【5】last前面的to去掉
【6】really→real
【7】should 和able间加be
【8】that→as
【9】for→from
【10】but→and
【解析】
试题分析:
【1】friendships→friendship 考查名词的数。句意:每个人都需要友谊。friendship为抽象名词,不可数,故friendships改为friendship。
【2】mean→means 考查主谓一致。句意:两个朋友之间的理解意味着他们两人有相似的想法以及互相信任。这里主语The understanding,谓语用单数形式,故mean改为means。
【3】trusting→trust 考查动词。并列连词and在宾语从句中连接两个并列的谓语动词,前面have用原形,故trusting也要改为原形trust。
【4】him→them 考查代词。句意:否则,对他们来说互相帮助是不可能的。根据句意可知,这里him改为them。
【5】last前面的to去掉 考查固定结构。make sb/sth do使某人做……,make在这里是使役动词,后面用动词原形,故去掉to。文中意为“使友谊长存”。
【6】really→real 考查形容词。句意:因此,真正的友谊应该能够经历各种考验。这里用形容词修饰名词friendship,故really改为real。
【7】should和able间加be 考查情态动词用法。情态动词后接动词原形,故should 和able间加be。
【8】that→as 考查固定用法as…as。as+形容词+as sb can尽可能……的。句意:有尽可能多的朋友是理智的。as many as we can尽可能多的。
【9】for→from 考查介词。learn from从…学习。句意:我们拥有越多的朋友,我们就会互相学到更多。故for改为from。
【10】but→and 考查连词。句意:我们也就能一起分享更多的快乐。根据语义可知此句和上句是并列关系,用并列连词and。故but改为and。

In China, as in many countries, the north-south divide runs deep. People from the north are seen as hale and hearty, while southerners are often portrayed as cunning, cultured traders. Northerners are taller than southerners. The north eats noodles, while the south eats, rice—and according to new research, when it comes to personality, that difference has meant everything.
A study published Friday by a group of psychologists in the journal Science finds that China’s noodle-slurping northerners are more independent, show more “analytic thought” and divorce more frequently. By contrast, the authors write, rice-eating southerners show more qualities traditionally associated with East Asian culture, including more “holistic thought” and lower divorce rates.
The reason? Cultivating rice, the authors say, is a lot harder. Picture a rice paddy, its delicate seedlings tucked in a bed of water. They require careful tending and many hours of labor—by some estimates, twice as much as wheat—as well as reliance on irrigation systems that require neighborly cooperation. As the authors write, for southerners growing rice, “strict self-reliance might have meant starvation.”
Growing wheat, by contrast, the north’s staple grain, is much simpler. One Chinese fanning guide from the 1600s quoted in the study advised aspiring farmers that “if one is short of labor power, it is best to grow wheat.”
To produce their findings, the authors evaluated the attitudes of 1,162 Han Chinese students in Beijing and Liaoning in the north and in Fujian, Guangdong, Yunnan and Sichuan in the south. To control for other factors that distinguish the north and south—such as climate, dialect and contact with herding cultures—the authors also analyzed differences between various neighboring counties in five central provinces along China’s rice-wheat border.
According to the authors, the influence of rice cultivation can help explain East Asia’s “strangely persistent interdependence.” For example, they say South Korea and Japan have remained less individualistic than Western countries, even as they’ve grown wealthier.
The authors aren’t alone in observing the influence various crops have on shaping culture. Malcolm Gladwell in his 2008 book “Outliers” also drew connections between a hard-working ethic (measured by a willingness to fill out long, boring questionnaires) and a historical tradition of rice cultivation in places such as South Korea and Japan, given that the farming of such crops is arguably an equally boring chore.
