Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.ABoys need friends, suffer whe
30、n they dont believe they have any, and worry over the ups and downs of relationships. Many adults believe that somehow boys need friends less than girls do, in truth, though, no boy is an island; boys value their friends throughout childhood and adolescence and are happier and healthier when they ha
31、ve solid relationships with peers. Despite the common belief that girls are better at relationships, most boys consider their friends a very important part of their lives, and boys may actually be better at keeping friendships than girls are. A recent study of 10 to 15-year-old boys and girls found
32、that girls friendships are actually more fragile. Girls tend to say and do hurtful things to each other more frequently than boys, and girls are more hurt by the end of a friendship. Boys are the living definition of the phrase “peer group”; they love games with rules, competition, and doing things
33、together. Boys seem to enjoy, even need the opportunity to test themselves against others, and many lasting friendships begin in karate (空手道) class or on the basketball court. Competence and skill are widely respected; being picked last for a team or left out altogether is an experience that can hau
34、nt (萦绕心头) a boy for years. As boys mature, the friendship becomes even more important, and it frequently widens to include girls. During the teen years, friends can become the most important part of a boys life and a part in which his parents are not included. The confusion of being a teenager leads
35、 boys to form close bonds with friends. There is the sense for many boys that a friend is someone who is “always there for me”, or someone he can trust. They may be partners in crime or partners in study, but the friendship of adolescent boys can run surprisingly deep.56. The common belief of adults

BSome time ago, I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg. I didnt think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended, as
40、there are a whole lot of antique shops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception. I was quite wrong. The man wouldnt even look at my chair.The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the thi
41、rd and the fourth so I decided that my approach must be wrong.I went into the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, “Would you like to buy a chair?” He looked it over carefully and said, “Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it, sir?
42、” “Twenty pounds,” I said. “OK,” he said, “Ill give you twenty pounds.” “It s got a slightly broken leg,” I said. “Yes, I saw that; its nothing.”Everything was going according to plan and I was getting excited. “What will you do with it?” I asked. “Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done
43、.” “Ill buy it,” I said. “What do you mean?Youve just sold it to me,” he said. “Yes, I know but Ive changed my mind. Im sorry; Ill give you twenty -seven pounds for it. ” “You must be crazy,” he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. “I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair. ” “Youre
44、 right,” I said. “And what would you have done if I had walked in and said, Would you mend this chair for me?” “I wouldnt have agreed to do it,” he said. “We dont do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But Ill mend this for you; shall we say for a fiver?” He was a very nice man and was greatly amused by the whole thing.61.
