9、0 p. m, Mr. I. Pomat, a Malupit shop owner, called the meeting to find out the views of the community on local government plans to close the Malupit Community School at the end of the present school year.Mr. Pomat acted as chairman of the meeting. He introduced Mr. L. Karazin, the Planning Office of
10、 the Raval Education Department. Mr. Karazin pointed out that there were now only fifty-three children at Malupit Community School. This was considered to be too high a number for the forming of two classes and the employment of two teachers. Mrs. Luvako, who had taught at the school for the past tw
11、enty-two years, would be retiring from the teaching service in July. The Planning Office wished to take this opportunity to close the school, because it is expensive to run, and to move the children to two bigger schools in Raval, six miles away.Mrs. Jarvis, the mother of an eight-year-old boy at Ma
12、lupit, asked what would happen about transport to Raval. Mr. Karazin replied that the children would travel by bus. This would be provided by the Raval Transport Department, and it would take Malupit children to and from school free of charge.Another parent, Mr. W. Riley, expressed the fear of many
13、parents that closing the local school would mean that the children of Malupit wouldnt grow up with the same sense of community as in the past. They would feel lost in the much larger schools in Raval. Mr. Karazin replied that the Raval schools were not very large, and that, in any case the children
14、would have to go to Raval later on for education at high-school level.The chairman voiced the view of the meeting when he said that there was good reason to believe that there would soon be more young children living in Malupit. It would be foolish, he said, to close the school, and then to find tha
15、t there were more than enough local children to form two classes and employ two teachers.A final point was made by Mr. Colmar, a retired business man, that without Malupit Community School, there would be nowhere big enough for local clubs and organizations to hold their meetings.Mr. Karazin promise
16、d that he would bring these points to the attention of the Education Department.Mr. Pomat brought the meeting to a close shortly after 9 oclock. 21 The Planning Office had decided to close the school because _.（A）there were too many children in each class（B） the schools in Raval were bigger and bett

26、ing, 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 interv
27、iewing 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
28、men Rubin interviewed could 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, more trusted person, o
29、r the one they would turn to in time of emotional distress (感情危机). “Most women,“ says Rubin, “identified (认定) at least one, usually more, trusted friends to whom they could turn in a troubled moment, and they spoke openly about the importance of these relationships in their lives.“In general,“ write
30、s 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 controlleda good fit with the social requirements of “manly behavior
31、.“Even when a man is said to be a best friend,“ Rubin writes,“ the two share little about their innermost 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

37、lesman for a brush company until six months ago. I sold brushes, dusters, tins of polish, things like that. I went from door to door selling direct to housewives.“Mr. Snell then asked him why he had left that job.“Well, to be honest, it was very hard work,“ Mr. Barlow replied. “It meant walking some
38、times six or eight miles a day. But the real reason for leaving was that I didnt think very highly of the goods that I was selling. They were not of the best quality, and that made it difficult for me to be sincere when I had to tell housewives what wonderful brushes they were. I knew perfectly well
39、 they wouldnt last beyond a month. Whats more, the pay was rather poor.

42、with a smileto enjoy the money and the working conditions offered with the job for which he had applied.“Mr. Barlow,“ said Mr. Snell, “do you have a clean driving license?“Yes, I do,“ Mr. Barlow replied.“Then as long as your medical examination proves to be satisfactory, Im quite prepared to offer y
