Many adults believe that somehow boys need friends less than girls do，i
14、n truth，though，no boy is an island；boys value their friends throughout childhood and adolescence and are happier and healthier when they have solid relationships with peers.Despite the common belief that girls are better at relationships，most boys consider their friends a very important part of thei
15、r lives，and boys may actually be better at keeping friendships than girls are. A recent study of 10to15yearold boys and girls found 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
16、a friendship.Boys are the living definition of the phrase “peer group”；they love games with rules，competition，and doing things 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.
17、 Competence and skill are widely respected；being picked last for a team or left out altogether is an experience that can haunt (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
18、 important part of a boys lifeand a part in which his parents are not included. The confusion of being a teenager leads 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”，someone he can trust. They may be partners in crime or
19、 partners in study，but the friendship of adolescent boys can run surprisingly deep.26The common belief of adults is that boys _.Adont care about others as much as girlsBdont value friendships as much as girlsChave the same friendship as girls Dhave healthier friendship than girls27According to the p
20、assage，_.Aboys usually build friendships by playing competitive games Bboys like to have small groups of friends Cboys friendships seldom result in anyone being hurt Dboys friendships can hardly end in failure28The author mentions the study in Para.2 to prove _.Agirls value relationships more than b
21、oysBmost boys consider their friends very importantCboys may be better at keeping friendships than girlsDboys may be more active in a friendship29As a boy gets older，he tends to _.Awiden his circle of friends to include his parentsBshift his focus from his friends to himself Cleave his parents out o
22、f his friendsDbe confused about what a friendship is 30Whats the best title of the passage?AFriendships Between Boys and GirlsBBoys and Their FriendshipCChildhood and Adolescent FriendshipDTips on Making Friends with BoysBA recent international survey found that around 75% of the worlds best univers
23、ities, such as MIT, Harvard and Princeton are in the US.But while US universities are very good at producing research and raising money, they arent so good at supplying the needs of the US high-skill labour market so America relies on educated talent from elsewhere. Take the example of medical educa
24、tion. The US simply does not train enough doctors to meet its needs. Each year many more doctors retire than graduate from its medical schools and the US robs the world to make up the difference.25% of doctors working in the US received their training elsewhere. That is close to 200,000 doctors educ
25、ated abroad. Around 5,000 were trained in Africa, mainly Ghana, Nigeria and South Africa, but also elsewhere. In 2002, there were 47 Liberian-trained doctors working in the US, and just 72 working in Liberia. The poorest always lose out.In most countries, especially in the developing world, doctors
26、are trained at public expense. If a doctor from Ghana is taken to the US, not only does that country lose its doctor, it loses the money paid for the training. That means the worlds poorest people are paying for the health care of the worlds richest people.Why cant the US supply its own needs? After
27、 all, doctors in the US are not exactly badly paid. But training is long, difficult, and, of course, expensive. A newly trained doctor graduates with about $200,000 of debt. Unlike lawyers and bankers, of which there are no American shortages, doctors lack the opportunities to earn huge salaries imm
28、ediately and pay it all back.Also, there is no central government planning for university education in America making it more difficult to create new medical colleges.So while we look with envy at the wealth and achievements of the top American universities, we should bear in mind that not all is as
29、 well as it seems. In fact, it may be that the weakness of the US higher education system is contributing to the health and development crisis in some of the worlds poorest regions.31. What is the passage mainly about?A. The high standards of universities in the United States.B. The quality of docto
30、rs produced by American universities.C. Medical training provided at American Universities.D. The quantity of doctors produced by American universities.32. How many doctors working in America come from Africa?A. 5,000 B. 50,000 C. 200, 000 D. 75033. Why does the author think getting doctors from Afr
31、ica is not good?A. Their education level is not as good as American trained doctors.B. The cost of bringing them to America is more than training local doctors.C. It takes valuable skills away from some of the worlds poorest countries.D. The African doctors are poorly paid compared to the American doctors.34. Which is NOT a reason given for the lack of locally trained doctors in America?A. Doctors salaries are not very high in America.B. People can earn big money more quickly in other professions.C. I
