Finding something to do is never a problem and if all else fails , just admiring the streets with a hotdog in hand is an enjoyable way to spend a few hours .

Beyond the capital and the bigger cities , Denmark offers a mix of lively towns such as Ribe and Odense plus rural countryside , medieval churches , Renaissance castles and tidy 18th-century villages .

Ask a group of elderly people what it was about their lives that made them happiest overall, and they’ll probably mention some warm relationships with family and friends. If you’re satisfied with your social life, according to psychologists, you tend to be satisfied with life in general.

From the point of my 50s, I’d say that sounds about right. Some of my happiest moments are the ones I spend with my husband, a few close relatives, and a handful of very good friends who know me well and like me anyway. But the more I read about how social media are interfering with (干扰) good old-fashioned friendship, creating virtual bonds that can’t quite take the place of real ones, the more I wonder just how today’s 20-somethings will look back on their own lives when they’re my age.

After all, much crucial relationship building work is done in the 20s. According to research by the late Bernice Neugarten of the University of Chicago, who helped launch the academic study of human development, people choose most of their adult relationships, both friends and lovers, between the ages of 22 and 28. The friends we make in our 20s are not only best friends forever; they’re also our first truly chosen friends. And choosing how to commit to these friendships is an essential psychological task of the 20s.

But with so much of friendship in this age group now being developed online, an essential question is what the effect of that interaction is. A study, conducted in 2010 by Craig Watkins and Erin Lee of the University of Texas at Austin, investigated the Facebook habits of 776 young people between the ages of 18 and 35. “Whether it is a wall post, a comment, or a photo,” they wrote, “young people’s engagement with Facebook is driven, primarily, by a desire to stay connected to and involved in the lives of friends who live close by, far away, or have just entered into their lives.”

This kind of constant contact can be efficient, but it can also be upsetting. For one thing, it adds a new layer of concern to a young person’s already-heightened awareness of social ranking, giving appearance-conscious young people yet another thing to worry about. “I see other 20-somethings feeling pressured to constantly keep up a public image, especially a public image online,” wrote Ariana Allensworth on the group blog. “Folks are always keeping the world informed one way or another about what they’re up to, where they’re at, what projects they’re working on. It can be a bit much at times.” Not the most fertile ground for real-world friendship.

1.According to the passage, the 20s is an age for people to _____.

A. have a good public image

B. keep themselves informed

C. look back on their own lives

D. develop critical relationships

2.Which of the following is a disadvantage of making friends online?

A. It makes people pay less attention to social ranking.

B. It robs people of the happy moments spent with friends.

C. It keeps people away from their family and close relatives.

D. It prevents people from keeping in contact with their friends.

3.What was the aim of the study conducted by Craig Watkins and Erin Lee?

A. To know about the 776 young people’s Facebook habits.

B. To find out how social media affect real-world social life.

C. To help young people stay connected to the lives of friends.

D. To investigate what kind of people prefer online interactions.

4.The author may agree that _____.

A. old-fashioned friendship can help create virtual bonds

B. there’s no need for young people to make online friends

C. real-world friendship is a better choice for young people

D. online friendship is an inevitable trend in the modern world

高三英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

Recently, one of my best friends, whom I’ve shared just about everything with since the first day of kindergarten, spent the weekend with me. Since I moved to a new town several years ago, we’ve both always looked forward to the few times a year when we can see each other.

Over the weekend, we spent hours and hours, staying up late into the night, talking about the people she was hanging around with. She started telling me stories about her new boyfriend, about how he experimented with drugs and was into other self-destructive behavior. I was blown away! She told me how she had been lying to her parents about where she was going and even stealing out to see this guy because they didn’t want her around him. No matter how hard I tried to tell her that she deserved better, she didn’t believe me. Her self-respect seemed to have disappeared.

I tried to convince her that she was ruining her future and heading for big trouble. I felt like I was getting nowhere. I just couldn’t believe that she really thought it was acceptable to hang with a bunch of losers, especially her boyfriend.

By the time she left, I was really worried about her and exhausted by the experience. It had been so frustrating, I had come close to telling her several times during the weekend that maybe we had just grown too far apart to continue our friendship，but I didn’t. I put the power of friendship to the ultimate test. We’d been friends for far too long. I had to hope that she valued me enough to know that I was trying to save her from hurting herself. I wanted to believe that our friendship could conquer anything.

A few days later, she called to say that she had thought long and hard about our conversation, and then she told me that she had broken up with her boyfriend. I just listened on the other end of the phone with tears of joy running down my face. It was one of the truly rewarding moments in my life. Never had I been so proud of a friend.

1.In the writer’s opinion, her friend ________.

A. was a girl with no self-respect

B. could find a better boyfriend

C. was brave enough to stick to her own choice

D. didn’t value the writer’s suggestion

2.What did the writer worry about?

A. She would lose the friendship with her.

B. Her friend’s parents would be worried about their daughter.

C. Her friend would get into great trouble with the boy.

D. Her friend’s boyfriend would be in great trouble.

3.We may learn from Paragraph 3 that the writer ________.

A. didn’t want to go anywhere else

B. hated her friend’s hanging with her boyfriend

C. couldn’t believe that her friend’s choice was acceptable

D. doubted whether she could in any way help her friend

4.What can be concluded from the passage?

A. Friendship starting from childhood is not reliable.

B. Friendship is a cure for any injury in life.

C. Friendship should be everlasting once begun.

D. Friendship can have magical power in life.
