Do you have some friends you call as soon as you have exciting news to share? Or the ones who notice when you’re feeling down? Those are your close friends. Not every friend you have is a close friend.
Studies show that most people can have only a few close friends because of limited time and energy. Psychologist (心理学家) Robin Dunbar points out that most people have around five close friends. Another study by Suzanne Degges White finds that having three to six close friends makes people happiest. It also finds that having more than six close friends doesn’t make people feel much happier.
But friendships aren’t just about closeness. According to a study by Jan Yager, you might have 25 or more casual friends, like classmates, neighbors, or other people you know from everyday life. Because no one person can meet all your needs, having different kinds of friends helps in many ways. They can take some pressure (压力) off you and provide a safety net when you lose important friends. What’s more, they can also come up with new ideas—some may surprise you.
There are no hard and fast rules on how many close or casual friends you should have, so don’t worry if you have more or less. Some people have more than ten close friends, while others are happy with just one or two. What matters most is how you feel. If you’re happy with your friendships, then you have enough. Just trust your own feelings.
14. What is the main purpose of Paragraph 1?
A. To tell us what close friends are.
B. To show how to make close friends.
C To explain why people need close friends.
D. To compare close friends and casual friends.
15. Why do most people have only a few close friends?
A. They would like to have more casual friends.
B. They can’t feel happier with more close friends.
C. They think it’s right to have about five close friends.
D. They don’t have enough time or energy to have more.
16. What does the underlined part “hard and fast” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. New. B. Strict. C. Difficult. D. Helpful.
17. Which idea does the writer most likely agree with?
A. Almost all people have more than 25 casual friends.
B. People need more than 6 close friends to keep happy.
C. Close friends are more important than casual friends.
D. The right number of friends is different for each person.

I didn’t stop running until I arrived at the bottom of a hill. I heard some stones falling down the hillside and when I looked up I saw something jump behind a tree. The creature moved quickly from tree to tree. It was getting closer to me. It was a man! I felt afraid but then I remembered that I had a pistol and I felt brave again.

Do you have some friends you call as soon as you have exciting news to share? Or the ones who notice when you’re feeling down? Those are your close friends. Not every friend you have is a close friend.

Another study by Suzanne Degges White finds that having three to six close friends makes people happiest. It also finds that having more than six close friends doesn’t make people feel much happier.
But friendships aren’t just about closeness. According to a study by Jan Yager, you might have 25 or more casual friends, like classmates, neighbors, or other people you know from everyday life. Because no one person can meet all your needs, having different kinds of friends helps in many ways. They can take some pressure (压力) off you and provide a safety net when you lose important friends. What’s more, they can also come up with new ideas—some may surprise you.
There are no hard and fast rules on how many close or casual friends you should have, so don’t worry if you have more or less. Some people have more than ten close friends, while others are happy with just one or two. What matters most is how you feel. If you’re happy with your friendships, then you have enough.

【17题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第4段“There are no hard and fast rules...”,“Some people have more than ten close friends, while others are happy with just one or two.”以及“What matters most is how you feel.”可知,作者认为朋友的数量没有固定标准,因人而异,最重要的是自己感到满意。故选D。

I didn’t stop running until I arrived at the bottom of a hill. I heard some stones falling down the hillside and when I looked up I saw something jump behind a tree. The creature moved quickly from tree to tree. It was getting closer to me. It was a man! I felt afraid but then I remembered that I had a pistol and I felt brave again. Suddenly the man came forward, and fell on his knees asking for mercy.
“Who are you?” I asked.
“I am poor Ben Gunn,” he answered. “I was left alone on this island three years ago.”
He was a white man like myself, with very sunburnt skin. He wore pieces of old clothes to cover his body.
“Is that Flint’s ship, Jim?” he asked.
“No, Flint’s dead,” I answered. “But some of his crew are here, unfortunately.”
“Is there a man with one leg?” he gasped.
“Silver?” I asked. “Yes, he’s the cook and their leader.”
I then explained the whole situation to him, and he listened carefully.
“You’re a good boy, Jim,” he said. “I will help you and your captain if you help me to get home, and give me a share of the money because there’s lots of money for everyone. I’m rich! Rich!
