Research on friendship has established a number of facts, some interesting, some even useful. Did you know that the average student has 5-6 friends, or that a friend who has previously an enemy is liked more than one who has always been on the right side? Would you believe that physically attractive individuals are preferred as friends to those less comely(秀丽的), and is it fair that physically attractive defendants are less likely to be found guilty in court? Unfortunately, such facts don’t tell us much more about the nature or the purpose of friendship.
In fact, studies of friendship seem to implicate more complex factors. For example, one function friendship seems to fulfill is that it supports the image we have of ourselves, and confirms the value of the attitudes we hold. Certainly we appear to project ourselves onto our friends; several studies have shown that we judge them to be more like us than they objectively are. This suggests that we ought to choose friends who are similar to us rather than those who would be complementary. In our experiment, some developing friendships were monitored amongst first-year students living in the same hostel. It was found that similarity of attitudes towards politics, religion and ethics, pastimes and aesthetics was a good prediction of what friendships would be established by the end of four months.
There have also been studies of pairings, both voluntary(married couples)and forced(student roommates), to see which remained together and which split up. Again, the evidence seems to favor similarity as a sign of a successful relationship, though there is an exception: where marriage is concerned, once the field has been narrowed down to potential mates who come from similar backgrounds and share a broad range of attitudes and values, a degree of complementarity(互补性)seems to become desirable. Similarity can breed contempt; it has also been found that when we find others offensive, we dislike them more if they are like us than when they are dissimilar.
The difficulty of linking friendship with similarity of personality probably reflects the complexity of our personalities: we have many sides and therefore require a different group of friends to support us. This of course can explain why we may have two close friends who have little in common. By and large, though, it looks as though we would do well to choose friends(and spouses)who resemble us. If this were not so, computer dating agencies would have gone out of business years ago. [br] Studies of friendship in the second paragraph suggest that______.
选项
A、people want their friends to be totally supportive
B、people should judge their friends more subjectively
C、people think their friends resemble them more than the friends do
D、people need friends who can make up for their shortcomings
答案
C
解析
细节辨认题。定位句部分讲述了关于研究友谊的相关情况,其中后半部分明确说“……几项研究显示我们主观上认为朋友非常像我们,而客观上并非如此相像。这表明我们在交友时最好选择与我们相似的人,而非互补的人”,C)表达了此意,故为正确答案。
