Betty and Harold have been married for years. But one thing still puzzled (困扰) old Harold. How is it that he can leave Betty and her friend Joan sitting on the sofa, talking, go out to a ballgame, come back three and a half hours later, and they’re still sitting on the sofa? Talking?
What in the world, Harold wonders, do they have to talk about?
Betty shrugs. Talk? We’re friends.
Researching this matter called friendship, psychologist Lillian Rubin spent two years interviewing more than two hundred women and men. No matter what their age, their job, their sex, the results were completely clear: women have more friendships than men, and the difference in the content and the quality of those friendships is "marked and unmistakable."
More than two-thirds of the single men Rubin interviewed could not name a best friend. Those who could were likely to name a woman. Yet three-quarters of the single women had no problem naming a best friend, and almost always it was a woman. More married men than women named their wife/husband as a best friend, more trusted person, or the one they would turn to in time of emotional distress (感情危机). "Most women," says Rubin, "identified (认定) at least one, usually more, trusted friends to whom they could turn in a troubled moment, and they spoke openly about the importance of these relationships in their lives."
"In general," writes Rubin in her new book," women’s friendships with each other rest on shared emotions and support, but men’s relationships are marked by shared activities. "For the most part, Rubin says, interactions (交往) between men are emotionally controlled—a good fit with the social requirements of "manly behavior."
"Even when a man is said to be a best friend," Rubin writes," the two share little about their innermost feelings. Whereas a woman’s closest female friend might be the first to tell her to leave a failing marriage, it wasn’t unusual to hear a man say he didn’t know his friend’s marriage was in serious trouble until he appeared one night asking if he could sleep on the sofa."
The research done by psychologist Rubin centers around ______.
选项
A、happy and successful marriages
B、friendships of men and women
C、emotional problems in marriage
D、interactions between men and women
答案
B
解析
本题问心理学家Rubin所作的调查是围绕什么展开的,考查的是对全文主旨大意的把握。本文前三段引入话题。从第四段开头的Researching this matter called friendship可知,研究的题目是“友谊”。接下来,作者又陈述了Rubin的研究结果:women have more friendships than men,and the difference in the content and the quality of those friendships is“marked and unmistakable.”女人比男人的朋友关系多,而且女人的友谊和男人的相比,其内容和实质有着明显的、不容搞错的不同。第五、六、七段则进一步展开叙述了这一调查结果。答案为B选项friendships of men and women“男人的友谊和女人的友谊”,而D选项interactions between men and women指“男女之间的交往”,离文意太远,故不选。
