Almost every light comedy or situation comedy makes me feel like I should be drinking wine every night with my best friend while one of us tries on clothes. Not only should we share the same dress size, but we should also have a long, rich history of togetherness and secrets. Clearly, this is not reality.

I have 598 friends. OK, but if I’m honest, 99.3 percent of those friends are those I met only once or acquaintances who live too far away to see regularly. That leaves 4 people, who I can call anytime, not feeling like I’m absolutely wasting their time. The remaining 0.2, I’ve decided, is my houseplant. I can tell it anything.

Feeling the same way? You’re absolutely not alone. Most of us find our “people” in school, but over time life changes: marriage, kids, etc. We grow out of our relationships and they grow out of us.

So when the relationships come to an end, how do you find a new one?

A woman in my apartment building, who I had seen around over the years, approached me one day and introduced herself. She bravely stated, “You seem cool. Do you want to hang out with me sometime? I’m looking for new friends.” I almost dropped my bag of groceries at her social honesty. And now we get together for coffee a few times a year, gossip (八卦) about the neighbors, and take in the mail when one of us is on vacation. But a few times a year isn’t enough for me.

So, what counts as true friendship as you get older? For me, it’s feeling comfortable enough to be myself. And if you’re like me, it’s also trust — not just keeping the secret, but trusting that my life choices aren’t their gossip elsewhere.

1.What do the numbers in Paragraph 2 show?

A. The author has some unusual friends.　　 B. The author has very few real friends.

C. The author is fond of phoning her friends.　　 D. The author doesn’t like most of her friends.

2.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 show?

A. The author was a little careless.　　 B. The author was glad at the request.

C. The author was shocked by the request.　　 D. The author was carrying something heavy.

3.What does the author think true friendship is?

A. It is really difficult to find.　　 B. It can show one’s genuine belief.

C. It is really hard for people to understand.　　 D. It can make people have a sense of security.

高二英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析

Mr.Bean is an internationally recognized comedy character on TV and in films.He constantly gets into awkward and absurd situations，which greatly amuses audiences regardless of their nationalities or culture.The humour is always made clear through a series of simple and funny acts that rely purely on body language，which is universal.

One of my favourite shows is that Mr.Bean has a meal in a fancy restaurant.After being seated at his table，Mr.Bean takes out a card，writes a few words on it，seals(密封) it in an envelope and places it on the table.After a moment，he looks back at the envelope but this time he looks surprised，as if he did not know it was there.He opens it to find a birthday card and delightedly puts it on the table for everyone to see.

When he looks at the menu，an astonished look swiftly appears on his face.He takes all the money out of his wallet，counts it and puts it in a saucer(茶托)．He then looks from the menu to the money with concern until he finds one thing that makes him smile.Then he orders a dish called “steak tartare”．When the dish arrives，he is shocked to discover that “steak tartare” is actually raw hamburger.He makes an attempt to eat it，but it is clear from the look on his face that he finds the taste truly disgusting.He cannot hide his feelings，except when the waiter asks if everything is all right.When this happens，he smiles and nods，indicating that everything is fine.When the waiter is not looking，however，he busies himself hiding the raw meat anywhere he can reach—the sugar bowl，the tiny flower vase，inside a bun(小圆面包) and under a plate.He becomes so desperate in the end that he even hides some inside the purse of a woman sitting near him and throws some down the trousers of the restaurant’s violinist!

I like to watch Mr.Bean on TV，but I wouldn’t like to meet someone like him in real life and I certainly wouldn’t like to have dinner with him!
