Friends play an important part in our daily lives, and although we may take friendship for granted, we often don’t clearly understand how we make friends. While we get on well with a number of people, we are usually friends with only a few. In all the cases of friendly relationships, two people like one another and enjoy being together, but beyond that, the degree of intimacy (亲密) between them and the reasons for their shared interest vary enormously. As we get to know people, we take into account things like age, race, economic condition, social position, and intelligence; although these factors are not of prime importance, it is more difficult to get on with people when there is a marked difference in age and background.
Some friendly relationships can be kept on argument and discussion, but it is usual for close friends to have similar ideas and 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. And the more intimately involved people become, the more they rely on one another. People want to do friends favors and hate to break a promise. Equally, friends have to learn to put up with annoying habits and to tolerate difference of opinion.
In contrast with marriage, there are no friendship ceremonies to strengthen the association between two people. But the supporting and understanding of each other that results from shared experience and emotions does seem to create a powerful bond, which can overcome differences in background, and break down barriers of age, class race.

根据作者观点，朋友_____ 。
A. 必须不管对方做什么都要忍受对方
B. 要比那些相处得好的人更加亲密
C. 仅仅是那些有需要的人
D. 是那些能够相处得很好的人
【解题思路】根据第一段第二句“While we get on well with a number of people, we are usually friends with only a few”可知，虽然我们和许多人相处得好，但我们只和极少数人成为朋友。由此可推断，朋友会比相处得好的人更加亲密，所以B符合题意。故本题选B。
【干扰项排除】A、C选项太绝对且文中没有相应信息。D选项与文章信息不符。

【解题思路】根据第一段最后一句话“...it is more difficult to get on with people when there is a marked difference in age and background.”可知，与年龄和背景明显不同的人友好相处更加困难。B项中not easy和more difficult意思接近。故本题选B。
【干扰项排除】A选项与第一段第三句中“…the reasons for their shared interest vary enormously.”信息不符。C选项文中未提及。D选项与第一段倒数第二句“As we get to know people , we take into account things like age, race, economic condition, social position, and intelligence”信息不符。

【解题思路】根据题目中“being on the same wavelength”，定位到原文第二段第一句话“... but it is usual for close friends to have similar ideas and beliefs, to have attitudes and interests in common—they often talk about ‘being on the same wavelength’”可知，亲密的朋友通常有相似的想法和信仰，有相同的态度和业余爱好。破折号“—”有说明的作用，C选项符合原文破折号“—”之前所提到内容。故本题选C。

【解题思路】根据原文第二段第三句“And the more intimately involved people become, the more they rely on one another.”可知人们的关系越亲密，他们就越相互依赖。由此推知，亲密的朋友之间相互依赖，所以B正确。故本题选B。
【干扰项排除】根据第二段第一、二句“Some friendly relationships can be kept on argument and discussion… It generally takes time to reach this point”可知，一些友好的关系可以在争论和讨论中维持，但是亲密的朋友通常有相似的想法和信仰，有相同的态度和业余爱好，而要达到合拍的程度通常要很长时间。A、C、D选项与此内容不符。
