We don’t choose friends on the basis of how much money they have, of course, but vast differences can be disturbing to both sides. Erin, for example, is single, and earns a very good salary. (26) Her friend, Pat, a divorced mother of three, is struggling to make ends meet. (27) " We are both frequent theater-goers," Erin explains, "and I’d gladly pay for two tickets, just to have Pat’s company at plays in concerts, but she won’t go anywhere unless she can pay her own way. I hate to go alone, so we both stay home. It all seems so silly. " Pat sees the situation differently. After an unhappy marriage to a man who tried to control her without considering her wishes and feelings, she says, " it’s very important to me to carry my own weight. I’m not comfortable in any relationship where all I do is take. "
The difficult situation finally changed when Erin moved recently. Pat’s children were with their father, so she took a picnic lunch to her friend’s new place, then spent the day helping her unpack and get settled. (28) " I was so grateful," Erin says, " that I persuaded Pat to let me return the favour in my own way with season tickets to our little theater group. I think she’s beginning to recognize that she contributes as much to our friendship as I do. "
26. What do we learn about Pat?
27. What draws Erin and Pat together?
28. What does Erin do to return Pat’s favor?
29. What do we learn about friendship from the passage?
选项
A、It can develop between people with a big difference in income.
B、It can be maintained among people of different age groups.
C、It cannot last long without similar family background.
D、It cannot be sustained when friends move far apart.
答案
A
解析
短文开头第一句提到,我们在选择朋友的时候,并不会把其财富作为一项重要因素。而短文中提到的艾琳与帕特两位女士的家境相差悬殊,虽然她们的友情受到两人处事方式和家境等因素的影响,但最终两人找到了解决的办法。因此,短文告诉我们,即使收入不同,也一样可以将友情发展下去,故答案为A)。
