11、 friends. While we get on well with a number of people, we are usually friends with only a very few-for example, the average among students is about 6 per person.Moreover, a great many relationships come under the blanket term “friendship“. In all cases, two people like each other and enjoy being to
12、gether, but beyond that, the degree of intimacy between them and the reasons for their mutual interest vary enormously.Initially, much depends on how people meet, and on favourable first impressions. As we get to know people, we take into account things like age, race, physical attractiveness, econo
13、mic and social status, and intelligence. Although these factors are not of prime importance, it is more difficult to relate to people when there is a marked difference in age and background.On a more immediate level, we are sensitive to actual behaviour, facial expression, and tone of voice. Friends
14、 will stand closer together and will spend more time looking at each other than mere acquaintances. Smiles and soft voices also express friendliness, and it is because they may transmit the wrong signals that shy people often have difficulty in making friends. A friendly gaze with the wrong facial e
15、xpression can turn into an aggressive stare, and nervousness may be misread as hostility. People who do not look one in the eye are mistrusted when, in fact, they simply lack confidence.Some relationships thrive on argument and discussion, but it is usual for close friends to have similar ideas and
16、beliefs, to have attitudes and interests in common-they often talk about “being on the same wavelength“. It generally takes time to reach this point; sometimes people “click“ immediately. The more intimately involved people become, the more they rely on one another. People want to do friends favours
17、 and hate to let them down. Equally, friends have to learn to make allowances for each other, to put up with irritating habits, and to tolerate differences of opinion. Imagine going camping with someone you occasionally meet for a drink!In contrast with marriage, there are no friendship ceremonies,
18、no rituals to strengthen the association between two people. But the mutual support and understanding that results from shared experiences and emotions does seem to create a powerful bond, which can overcome differences in background, and break down barriers of age, class or race.（分数：28.00）(1).The a

22、ceNo sporting event takes hold of the worlds attention and imagination like the Olympic Games.

28、 of the Olympics.“We believe that we will organize a magical Games,“ said Athens 2004 President Gianna Angelopoulos-Daskalaki. “Our history with the Olympic Games goes back nearly 3, 000 years, and Athens 2004 could be the best ever. /（分数：23.03）(1).The World Table Tennis Championships attracts the m

32、 trade globalization mostly in South and East Asia, whereas the biggest losers are mostly in the former Soviet bloc (集团) and sub-Saharan Africa? History is a partial guide: East Asia has a long trading tradition, lately reinvigorated (给以新的活力) by the Chinese adoption of market economics. The Soviet U
33、nion, on the other hand, was sheltered from free-market forces for more than 70 years. In Africa, some countries are disadvantaged because of inadequate infrastructure (基础结构); many countries have little to trade but commodities, the prices of which have fallen in recent years.In some regions, certai
34、n countries have suffered by adopting misguided policies, often under pressure from International Monetary Fund. First among these is Russia, which in the early 1990s tried to embrace capitalism before first building the institutions that make capitalism work, such as an independent bank system, a s
35、ystem of business law, and an adequate method for collecting taxes. Encouraged by the I. M. F., the World Bank and the U.S. Department of the Treasury, President Boris Yeltsins regime privatized the state-owned industrial sector, creating a class of oligarchs (寡头政治集团成员), who, knowing how unstable co
36、nditions were at home, sent their money abroad instead of investing it at home.In contrast, China, the biggest winner from globalization, did not follow the I. M. F. formula. Of the former states of the Soviet bloc, only a few, notably Poland and Hungary, managed to grow, which they did by ignoring
37、I. M. F. advice and adopting expansionary plans, including spending more than they collected in taxes. Botswana and Uganda are also success stories, despite their disadvantages, their countries achieved vigorous growth by creating stable civil societies, liberalizing trade and implementing reforms t
