IX. Reading comprehension
Read the passage carefully, then choose the correct answers.
It is said that most people have no more than 30 friends at any given time, and 400 over the whole of their lives. 
However, on social networking sites, most users have about 150 friends. If these numbers are correct, then friendship
means different things in different situations.
One of the reasons for having more online friends than real friends at a certain point in time is that online friendships
do not require much time and energy: it is easy to accept friendships and keep them forever. Another possibility is that
it is difficult to say 'no' when somebody asks us to be their friend online, even if we feel we don't really know them.
The fact that they ask us suggests that they do consider us a friend, which is a nice feeling.  Alternatively, they may be
'collectors' of online friends and just want to use us to get a higher number of friends and appear to be popular.

 Having a best friend to confide in can bring a positive effect on our emotional health. An evening out with the
closest friend may be the best guarantee of a good time. In fact, our best friend can prevent us from developing serious
psychological problems such as depression and anxiety.
Best friendship evolves with time - we cannot go out and pick our best friend. We become friends with people
who share common interests – at school or through hobbies, for example.
Best friends have usually known each other for years and stuck together through good and bad times. If you
haven't got one, perhaps you are being too distant from people, or focusing too much on your work.

A Friend of Liberality
When I was in high school, there was a girl whom I disliked. I don’t know why I dislike her. She had always been
friendly towards me, and had never done anything to cause me to feel the same way I did about her. I was continually
saying unpleasant things to her, making fun of her, snubbing her.
One day as I was going home from school, the girl caught up with me and told me that our teacher wanted me to
come back for a while. I did not believe her and walked on down the street, leaving the girl standing alone.
The next day when I got to school, our teacher asked me: “Why didn’t you come back to the school as I asked you
to?” I said: “I didn’t know you wanted me?”. The teacher sent for the girl and asked her: “Did you tell Rose to come
back?” The girl answered, “I’m sorry, but I didn’t tell her; I couldn’t catch up with her”. I was surprised and suddenly
realized how pretty she was. I felt I ought to be ashamed of myself and I found out all my faults in comparison with
her liberality.
