Boys need friends, suffer when they don't believe they have any, and worry over the ups and downs of relationships. Many adults believe that somehow boys need friends less than girls do, in truth, though, no boy is an island; boys value their friends throughout childhood and adolescence and are happier and healthier when they have solid relationships with peers (同龄人)．

Despite the mon belief that girls are better at relationships, most boys consider their friends a very important part of their lives, and boys may actually be better at keeping friendships than girls are. A recent study of 10 to 15-year-old boys and girls found that

girls' friendships are actually more fragile. Girls tend to say and do hurtful things to each other more

frequently than boys, and girls are more hurt by the end of a friendship.

Boys are the living definition of the phrase “peer group”；they love games with rules, petition, and doing things together. Boys seem to enjoy, even need the opportunity to test themselves against others, and many lasting friendships begin in karate (空手道) class or on the basketball court. petence and skill are widely

respected; being picked last for a team or left out altogether is an experience that can haunt (萦绕心头) a boy for years.

As boys mature, the friendship bees even more important, and it frequently widens to include girls. During the teen years, friends can bee the most important part of a boy's life—and a part in which his parents are not included. The confusion of being a teenager leads boys to form close bonds with friends. There is the sense for many boys that a friend is someone who is “always there for me”, someone he can trust. They may be partners in crime or partners in study, but the

friendship of adolescent boys can run surprisingly deep.

31.The mon belief of adults is that boys________. A. don't care about others as much as girls B. don't value friendship as much as girls C. have the same friendship as girls D. have healthier friendship than girls

32. According to the text, boys' friendship________.

A. is usually built around active play

B. tends to be in small groups

C. can bear mutual hurt between friends

D. doesn't suffer from failure

33. The author mentions the study in the second paragraph to prove ________. A. many people believe girls are better at relationships B. most boys consider their friends very important C. boys may be better at keeping friendships than girls D. boys may be more active in a friendship 34. As a boy gets older, he tends to________.

A. widen his circle of friends to include different kinds of people

B. shift his focus from his friends to himself

C. leave his parents out of his friendship

D. be confused about what a friendship is

35. What's the best title for the text?

A. Friendships between Boys and Girls

B. Boys and Their Friendship

“Long time no see” is a very interesting sentence．When I first read this sentence from an American friend’s email，I laughed．I thought it was a perfect exle of Chinglish．

Obviously, it is a word-by-word literal translation of the Chinese greetings with a ruled English grammar and structure! Later on，my friend told me that it is a standard American greeting．I was too thrilled to believe her．Her words could not convince me at all．So I did a research on google．．To my surprise，there are over 60 thousand web pages containing “Long time no see．” This sentence has been widely used in emails，letters，newspapers，movies，books，or any other possible places．Though it is sort of informal，it is part of the language that Americans use daily．Ironically，if you type this phrase in Microsoft Word，the software will

tell you that the grammar needs to be corrected．Nobody knows the origin of this Chinglish sentence．Some people believe that it came from Charlie Chan’s movies．In the 1930s，Hollywood moviemakers successfully created a world wide famous Chinese

detective named “Charlie Chan” on wide screens．Detective Chan likes to teach Americans some Chinese wisdom by ing Confucius. “Long time no see” was his trademark．Soon after Charlie Chan, “Long time no

see” became a popular phrase in the real world with thanks to the popularity of these movies．

Some scholars refer to America as a huge pot of stew. All kinds of culture are mixed in the stew together，and they change the color and taste of each other. American Chinese, though a minority ethnic（少数民族的成员）group in the United States，is also contributing some changes to the stew! Language is usually the first thing

D. Tips on Making Friends with Boys
