阅读下面短文，根据所读内容，在文章后第1—10小题的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。
注意：每个空格只填一个单词。
I once believed that a friend is a friend “all the way”. Now I have changed my ideas about friendships.
1. Friends of convenience. They can be the people who live next door or the mothers of our children’s closest friends. Friends of convenience (便利) are convenient indeed. They’ll help us when we need it. They will look after our cats when we go on holiday. But we don’t ever get too close or tell too much. We keep our public face and emotional distance, which means that we’ll talk about being overweight but not about being sad or disappointed. However, people still feel these friendships valuable to them.
2. Special-interest friends. These friendships aren’t deeply personal or emotional. Their value lies in some shared interest, so we may have an office friend, a tennis friend, or even a shopping friend.
3. Historical friends. We all have a friend who knew us when …maybe we were back in the second grade of primary school, when our family lived in that two-room flat downtown. He or she was the first, the only friend we told our secrets to.
The years have gone by, and we have gone different ways. We have little in common now, but we are still a personal part of each other’s past. We know how we looked before our teeth were straightened, and our getting together reminds us of an earlier part of ourselves, which is important and never lost.
4. Crossgenerational friends. These are friendships that form across generation (代). I have in my own life a precious (珍贵的) friend, a woman of 65, who is wise, who listens well, and who represents not only an ideal mother to me but also the person I’d like to be when I grow up.
Best friends, I believe, totally love, support, and trust each other.

六、阅读理解：
According to a new survey, more than half of the parents in the United States are helping, or have helped or supported their adult children who have been hit by high unemployment and poor wages. It showed that present economic conditions are discouraging young adults from leaving home and forcing those who have already gone, so called boomerang kids, to return.
“Parents are continuing their financial involvement longer than we expected, ” said Ted Beck, president of National Endowment for Financial Education (NEFE)．
About 60 percent of parents questioned in the survey said they are helping their adult children who are no longer in school financially. Half are providing housing and nearly half are helping with living expenses.
For an increasing number of adult children, the situation is bad. Two－thirds of adult children, aged 18 to 39, who are not in school said they faced tougher financial pressure than previous generations, according to the survey. And nearly one－third of the parents agreed that it was easier for them to find their financial feet than for their children.
Parents are helping their children out of genuine (真诚的) concern because they don't want to see them struggle. But Beck said that parents who make sacrifices to help their adult children should be careful about their own finances.
“If you are taking on extra debt or delaying retirement to help your adult children, you could be making a mistake and putting your own financial future in danger，” Beck warned.
Boomerang children can also cause other problems for their parents. Thirty percent of parents said they have given up privacy since their adult children moved back home, while more than a quarter have taken on added debt, and seven percent have delayed retirement. But the survey also showed that 42 percent of adult children living at home are helping with the cooking and cleaning.
1. According to the passage, boomerang kids here refer to ________.
A. married adult children
B. grown－ups living with parents
C. adult children independent and successful in life
D. adult children depending on parents for financial support
2. Which of the following matches the result of the survey?
A. About 30% of parents offer their adult children housing.
B. One－third of adult children earn money more easily than their parents.
C. Two－thirds of adult children are faced with financial problems in school.
D. About 50% of parents give money to their adult children to cover the daily cost.
3. What is Ted Beck's suggestion to the parents?
A. Asking their children to help with the housework.
B. Being cautious in helping their children.
C. Leaving their children to struggle to live.
D. Putting off their time of retirement.
4. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Adult children are less independent
B. Parents help support adult children
C. Bad conditions affect children a lot
D. Spoiled generation in the United States
