Friendly Relations with the People Around

　　1 You depend on all the people closely around to give you the warm feeling of belongingness (归属) that you must have to feel secure. But, in fact, the members of all the groups to which you belong also depend on you to give that feeling to them. A person who shows that he wants everything for himself is bound (一定的) to be a lonely wolf.

　　2 The need for companionship is closely related to the need for a sense of belongingness. How sad and lonely your life would be if you had no one to share your feelings and experiences. You may take it for granted that there always will be people around to talk to and to do things with you and for you. The important point, however, is that keeping emotionally healthy does not depend so much upon having people around you as upon your ability to establish relationships that are satisfying both to you and to them.

　　3 Suppose you are in a crowd watching a football game. You don't know them. When the game is over, you will all go your separate ways. But just for a while you had a feeling of companionship, of sharing the feelings of others who were cheering for the team you wanted to win.

　　4 An experience of this kind gives the clue (线索) to what companionship really is. It depends upon emotional ties of sympathy, understanding, trust, and affection. Companions become friends when these ties are formed.

　　5 When you are thrown in a new circle of acquaintances (熟人), you may not know with whom you will make friends, but-you can be sure that you will be able to establish friendships if you show that you really like people.

　　答案解析：

　　1.第二段中的第一句话“The need for companionship is closely related to the need for a sense of belongingness.”就指出了本段的关键词“companionship”和“belongingness”，所以答案选择B.

　　2.都在第三段中，“suppose”的意思是“假设”，由此我们推断出suppose后面的内容为作者的假设，也就是举例，所以答案选择D.

　　3.根据第四段的开头句“An experience of this kind gives the clue (线索) to what companionship really is.”，我们可以得出答案选择F.

　　4.在第五段中的关键词有“a new circle of acquaintances”，“make friends”以及“establish friendships”，所以对比A，C，E三个选择，A最合适。虽然E中含有friendship关键词，但是作者并没有强调difficulties，所以答案选择A.

　　5.这道题的答案在第二段的第二句话中寻找，“How sad and lonely your life would be if you had no one to share your feelings and experiences.”，所以答案选择B.

　　6.首先根据句子结构，我们得出give you后面的划线部分应该是名词，所以答案只能在E和F中。然后根据短文第一段第一句话“You depend on all the people closely around to give you the warm feeling of belongingness (归属) that you must have to feel secure.”，secure的名词形式为security，由此我们可以判断出答案选择E.

　　7.本题的答案在第二段的最后一句话中寻找，“The important point, however, is that keeping emotionally healthy does not depend so much upon having people around you as upon your ability to establish relationships that are satisfying both to you and to them.”，所以答案选择C.

　　8.通过对5，6，7题的选择，我们知道第八题的答案只能在A, D, 和F中选择。首先根据句子结构组成，排除F，答案在A和D中。A中的pity在文中没有出现过，D的意思是指没有真正爱的人，所以答案选择D.
