问题                         Friends and Friendship
   Friends play an important part in our lives, and although we may take the friendship for granted, we often don’t clearly understand how we make friends. While we get on well with a number of people, we are usually friends with only a very few for example, the average among students is about 6 per person. In all the cases of friendly relationship, two people like one another and enjoy being together , but beyond that, the degree of intimacy between them and the reasons for their shared interest vary greatly. At the beginning, much depends on how people meet, and on good first impressions. As we get to know people we take into account things like age, race, economic condition, social position, and intelligence. Although these factors are not of prime importance, it is more difficult to get on with people when there is a marked difference in age and background.
   We pay attention to actual behavior, facial expression, and the way a person speaks. Friends will stand closer together and soft voices also express friendliness, and it is because they may give the wrong signals that shy people often have difficulty in making friends. A friendly look with the wrong facial expression can turn into an unfriendly stare, and nervousness may be wrongly understood as unfriendliness.
   Some friendly relationships can be kept on argument and discussion, but it is usual for close friends to have similar ideas and beliefs, to have attitudes and interests in common they often talk about "being on the same wavelength" (志趣相投). It generally takes time to reach this report. And the more intimately involved people become, the more they rely on one another. People want to do friends favors and hate to break a promise. Equally, friends have to learn to put up with annoying habits and to tolerate differences of opinion.
   In contrast with marriage, there are no friendship ceremonies to strengthen the association between two people. But the supporting and understanding of each other that results from shared experiences and emotions does seem to create a powerful bond, which can overcome differences in background, and break down barriers of age, class or race.
What does the passage imply about marriage?

选项 A、There is no friendship involved in it.
B、It requires shared experiences and emotions.
C、There is usually a special occasion for it.
D、It is a much closer relationship than friendship.

答案C

解析 根据题目中关键词marriage可定位至最后一段。该段提到:友谊不像婚姻那样存在一种强化两个人关系的仪式。该句暗含的意思是婚姻有这种仪式,而友谊没有。这刚好与C项表述的意思相符。因此该题正确答案为C。
