Read the passages carefully and choose the best answer to each of the questions. Mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET. (20 points) Questions 31-35 are based on the f ollowing passage. Research on friendship has established a num ber of facts, some interesting, some even useful. Did you know that the average student has 5-6 friends, or that a friend who was previously an enemy is like more than one who has always been on the right side? Would you believe that physically attractive individuals are preferred as friends to those less comely, and is it fair that physically attractive defendants are less likely to be found guilty in court? Unfortunately, such titbits (小片食物，花絮)don t tell us much more about the nature or the purpose of friendship. In fact, studies of friendship seem to implicate more complex factors. For example, one function friendship seems to fulfil is that it supports the image we have of ourselves, and confirms the value of the attitudes we hold. Certainly we appear to project(投射)ourselves onto our friends; several studies have shown that we judge them to be more like us than they (objectively) are. This suggests that we ought to choose friends who are similar to us rather than those who would be complementary. In our experiment, some developing friendships were monitored amongst first-year students living in the same hostel. It was found that similarity of attitudes (towards politics, religion and ethics, pastimes and aesthetics) was a good predictor of what friendships would be established by the end of four months, though it has less to do with initial alliances-not surprisingly, since attitudes may not be obvious on first inspection. There have also been studies of pairings, both voluntary (married couples) and forced Cstudent roommates), to see which remained together and which split up. Again, the evidence seems to favor similarity rather than complementarity as a口omenC预兆)ofa successful relationship, though there is a complication: where marriag巳isconcerned, once the field has been narrowed down to potential mates who come from similar backgrounds and share a broad range of attitudes and values, a degree of complementarity seems to become desirable. When a couple are not just similar but almost identical, something else seems to be needed. Similarity can breed contempt(不尊重), it has also been found that when we find others obnoxiousC可憎的)，we dislike them more if they are like us than when they are dissimilar! 1685 The difficulty of linking friendship with similarity of personality probably reflects the complexity of our personality: we have many facets and therefore require a disparateC完全不同的)group of friends to support us. This of course can explain why we may have two close friends who have little in common, and indeed dislike each other. By and large, though, it looks as though we would do well to choose friends Cand spouses) who resembleC类似)us.If this were not so, computer dating ag巳ncieswould have gone out of business years ago. 31.
