Doctors say that having friends is important for our heath. Friendship is not only important for people, but also for the world. When we see people different from us as friends, it helps create peace.
International Day of Friendship started with the World Friendship Crusade (十字军) in 1958. Dr. Ramon Artemio Bracho and his friends in Paraguay (巴拉圭) wanted to show how friendship can bring peace. They celebrated Friendship Week, ending on 30th July, which became Friendship Day. Overtime, the celebration spread around the word, and in 2011, the UN made 30th July the International Day of Friendship.
Different countries have their own Friendship Days. Paraguay celebrates on 30th July, while Argentina, Brazil, and Spain celebrate on 20th July. India and the US celebrate on the first Sunday in August. In Finland and Estonia, Friendship Day is on the same day as Valentine’s Day, 14th February.

七、阅读填表（10分）
根据短文内容，完成下列表格。每空一词
It’s good to be someone’s best friend. But how can we know a friend fits the role of “BFF”(best friend forever)?
  Jeffrey Hall , a teacher from the University of Kansas(KU), thinks he has an answer. He finds out how long it takes to make a friend, and how long it takes to make way through the different classes of friendship.
   Hall and other teachers from the KU did the study in two ways. In the first part, the study team looked into (观察）255 people. These people just moved to a new place and were looking for new friends. Six months later, these newcomers matched people they met to one of the four classes: acquaintance (熟人), casual (感情不深的) friend, friend, or close friend.
   In the second part, Hall’s team asked 112 KU newly admitted students about two persons they met when they started school. Then the team followed up for four and seven weeks to see which class of friendship the students fell in. Here are the results: It takes about 40 to 60 hours to become a casual friend, 80 to 100 hours to be a friend, and about 200 hours to become a good friend.
   “We have to put that time in” Hall said. “ Having close relationships (关系) is the most important work we do in our lives.” You can’t order someone to be friends with you, and of course no relationship can be watered down（冲淡）to numbers alone. But if you want to be close friends with someone, the best way is to spend more time with him/her.
The KU’s study on friendship
61
*How long does it take to make a friend?
*How long does it take to 62 different classes of friendship?
Studies
People move to a new place
63 a year later, they match people to four classes.
112 64 students in the KU
They fall in different classes of friendship in different weeks.
Findings
*It takes about 200 hours to make a good friend.
*If people want to have 65 relationships, they should spend more time together.

【答案】61．Questions 62．pass 63．half 64．new 65．close/closer
【分析】本文讲述了Jeffrey Hall及其同事对人们成为不同层次的朋友所需时间的研究过程及发现。
61．根据表格内容可知这里所需要一个小标题，根据后面呈现内容“How long does it take to make a friend? How long does it take to 2 different classes of friendship?”可知：是提出了两个问题。故填：Questions。
62．根据文章第二段中“how long it takes to make way through the different classes of friendship”人们需要多长时间才能走过达到不同层次友谊的历程，可知“make way through”在句中表示“度过，走过”，pass符合情境。故填pass。
63．根据文章第三段中“Six months later, these newcomers matched people they met to one of the four classes: acquaintance (熟人),casual (感情不深的) friend, friend, of close friend.”可知，研究时长为6个月，也即为半年“half a year”，故填half。
64．根据文中第四段中“In the second part, Hall’s team asked … for four and seven weeks to see which class of friendship the students fell in.”可知，在第二组中，Hall团队询问了112名新录取的学生，即为“新生”“new students”。故填new。
65．根据文中最后一段中“But if you want to be close friends with someone, the best way is to spend more time with him/her.”可知，要让朋友关系更近一步，得用时间。故填close/closer。
