world. some people donate food or money to them,and some work as volunteers in the banks. the students from duluth edison charter school had their own task-they had to collect what poor people needed

where can we probably find this article?a. in a newspaper. b. in a novel. c. in a travel guide. d. in a short storydbetty and harold have been married for years. but one thing still puzzles old harold. how is it that he can leave betty and her friend joan sitting on the sofa, talking, go out to a ball-game, come back three and a half hours later, and theyre still sitting on the sofa, talking.what in the world, harold wonders, do they have to talk about. betty shrugs. talking. were friends. researching this matter called friendship,psychologist lillian rubin spent two years interviewing more than two hundred women and men. no matter what their age, their job, their sex, the results were completely clear: women have more friendships than men, and the difference in the content and the quality of those friendships is marked (明显的) and unmistakable. more than two-thirds of the single men rubin interviewed could not name a best friend. those who could were likely to name a woman. yet three-quarters of the single women had no problem naming a best friend, and almost always it was a woman. more married men than women named their wife / husband as a best friend, most trusted person, or the one they would turn to in times of emotional distress(感情危机). most women, says rubin, identified at least one, usually more, trusted friends whom they could turn to in a troubled moment, and they spoke openly about the importance of these relationships in their lives.in general, writes rubin in her new book, womens friendships with each other rest on shared emotions and support, but mens relationships are marked by shared activities. for the most part, rubin says, interactions between men are emotionally controlled-a good fit with the social requirements of manly behavior. even when a man is said to be a best friend, rubin writes, the two share little about their innermost feelings. while a womans closest female friend might be the first to tell her to leave a failing marriage, it wasnt unusual to hear a man say he didnt know his friends marriage was in serious trouble until he appeared one night asking if he could sleep on the sofa.12. what harold cannot understand or explain is the fact that .a. he is treated as an outsider rather than a husbandb.he finds his wife difficult to talk toc. women show little interest in ball-gamesd.women have so much to

of behavior is not expected of a man by society.a. ending his marriage without good reason. b. spending too much time with his friends.c. complaining about his marriage trouble. d. going out to ball-games too often.15. the research done by psychologist rubin focuses on .a. happy and successful marriages b. friendships of men and womenc. emotional problems in marriage d. interactions between
