go out to a ballgame, 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, talk? 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 and unmistakable.”more than two-thirds of the single men rubin interviewed would 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 time of emotional distress (感情危机) “most women”, says rubin, “identified at least one, usually more, trusted friends to 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 (交往) 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(内心的) feelings. whereas 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.”51. what old harold cant understand or explain is the fact that _.a. he is treated as an outsider than

for safety. that didnt stop the elephant. it destroyed a dozen houses and injured several people. the villagers were scared and angry. then someone suggested calling parbati, the elephant princess. parbati baruas father was a hunter of tigers and an elephant tamer. he taught parbati to ride an elephant before she could even walk. he also taught her the dangerous art of the elephant round-up - how to catch wild elephants. parbati hasnt always lived in the jungle. after a happy childhood hunting with her father, she was sent to boarding school in the city. but parbati never got used to being there and many years later she went back to her old fife. life in the city is too dull. catching elephants is an adventure and the excitement lasts for days after the chase, she says. but parbati doesnt catch elephants just for fun. my work, she says, is to rescue man from the elephants, and to keep the elephants safe from man. and this is exactly what parbati has been doing for many years. increasingly, the indian elephant is angry: for many years, illegal hunters have attacked it and its home in the jungle has been reduced to small pieces of land. it is now fighting back. whenever wild elephants enter a tea garden or a village, parbati is called toguide the animals back to the jungle before they can kill. the work of an elephant tamer also involves love and devotion. a good elephant tamer will spend hours a day singing love songs to a newly captured elephant. eventually they grow to love their tamers and never forget them. they are also more loyal than humans, she said, as she climbed up one of her elephants and sat on the giant, happy animal. an elephant princess indeed!65. for parbati, catching elephants is mainly to . a. get long lasting excitement b. keep both man and elephants safe c. send them back to the jungle d. make the angry elephants tame66. before parbati studied in a boarding school, . a. she spent her time hunting with her father b
