Looking more specifically at friendship, a study using the exchange of Christmas cards to test closeness put the average person’s friend group at about 121 people. However vast our networks may be, our inner circle tends to be much smaller. The average American trusts only 10 to 20 people. Moreover, that number may be shrinking: From 1998 to 2017, the average number of trusted friends decreased from three to two. This is both sad and of important consequence, because people who have strong social relationships tend to live longer than those who don’t. So what should you do if your social life is lacking? Here the research is instructive. To begin with, don’t refuse to consider the humble acquaintance(交情). Even interacting with people with whom one has weak social ties has a meaningful influence on wellbeing. Beyond that, building deeper friendships may be largely a matter of putting in time. A recent study out of the University of Kansas found that it takes about 50 hours of socializing to go from acquaintance to casual friend, an additional 40 hours to bee a “real” friend, and a total of 200 hours to bee a close friend. If that sounds like too much effort, renewing inactive social ties can be especially rewarding. Reconnected friends can quickly recapture the trust they previously built, while offering each other a dash of novelty(新奇)drawn from whatever they’ve been up to in the meantime. And if all else fails, you could start randomly to tell secrets to people you don’t know that well. Selfdisclosure makes us more likable, and as a bonus, we are more likely to favor those to whom we have revealed our soul. Longing for closeness and connection is mon and everywhere, which suggests that most of us are stumbling(跌跌撞撞)through the world, expecting panionship that could be easily provided by the lonesome stumblers all around us. So set aside this article, turn to someone nearby, and try to make a friend. 【文章大意】本文是一篇說明文。細節(jié)理解題。A. using research resultsB. making parisonsC. giving some examplesD. telling personal stories【解析】選A。Use social media.
