听力原文： Two people were killed overnight in two apparently unrelated shootings in the Los Angeles area, police said on Monday. In the first incident at 9:50 p. m. Sunday, four men approached a car in which two women were sitting with a child and the groups exchanged words. According to Los Angeles County sheriff's Deputy Oscar Butao, one of the men then opened fire before his group fled on foot. One woman was killed and the other was wounded, and the condition of the wounded woman was not available this morning. The child was not injured. The second fatal shooting occurred at 12:05 a. m. , in which a man was shot dead at the scene. Authorities had not arrested any suspects in connection with the shootings. Butao said police did not have information about whether the shootings were gang-related, or the motives for the shootings.

Which of the following statements is true？

A．The wounded woman was dead on the way to the hospital.

B．In the second shooting, the man was deadly wounded.

C．The police have no evidence to show the shootings were gang-related.

D．The condition of the child in the first shooting is not available this morning.

is it, he wonders, that he can leave Betty and her friend Joan sitting on the couch, talking, go out to a ballgame, come back, three and a half hours later, and they're still sitting on the couch.

Talking？

What in the world, muses Harold, do they have to talk about？

Betty shrugs. Talk？ We're friends.

Researching this matter called friendship, psychologist Lillian Rubin spent two years interviewing more than two hundred women and men. Like Betty and Harold, some were married, others single. They covered the gamut of what is chronologically called adulthood, twenty-five to fifty-five. They were blue collar, blue-blooded, and in between.

No matter their age, their occupation, their sex, their marital status, Rubin found the results were "unequivocal". 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 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 citing best friend, and almost always it was a woman. More married men than women cited a spouse as a best friend, most trusted confidant, or the one they would turn to in times of emotional distress. But even when a married woman named her husband to one of these categories, it was never exclusively his. "Most women," said Rubin, "identified at least one, usually more, trusted friends to whom they could turn in a troubled moment, and they spoke openly and ardently about the importance of these relationships in their lives."

In general, writes Rubin in her new book Intimate Strangers, "women's friendships with each other rest on shared intimacies, self-revelation, nurturance, and support." By contrast, "men's relationships are marked by shared activities." For the most part, Rubin contends, interactions between men "are emotionally contained and controlled-a good fit with the social requirements of manly behaviour."

"Even when a man claimed a best friend," Rubin wrote, "the two shared little about the interior of their lives and feelings." Whereas a woman's closest female friend might be the first to urge her to leave a failing marriage, "it wasn't unusual," Rubin discovered, "to hear a man say he didn't know his friend's marriage was in serious trouble until he appeared one night asking if he could sleep on the couch."

Women have more friends than men do,______.

A．but they have less intimacy in their friendships than men

B．but women rarely form. friendships with men

C．and women are more open with their friends than men

D．but women's friendships are more short-lived than men's

What in the world, Harold wonders, do they have to talk about？

Betty shrugs. Talk？ We' re friends.

Researching this matter called friendship, psychologist Lillian Rubin spent two years interviewing more than two hundred women and men. No matter what their age, their job, their sex, the re- suits were completely clear: women have more friendships than men, and the difference in the con- tent and the quality of those friend-ships is "marked and unmistakable".

More than two-thirds of the single 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 it was a woman. More married men than women named their wife/ husband as a best friend, most trusted person, or 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," writes Rubin in her new book, "women' s friendships with each other rest on shared emotions and support, but men' s relationships are marked by shared activities." For he most part, Rubin says, interactions(交往)between men are emotionally controlled--a good fit with the social requirements of "manly behavior".

"Even when a man is said to be a best friend," Rubin writes, "the two share little about their innermost feelings. Whereas a woman' s closest female friend, might be the first to tell her to leave a failing marriage, it wasn't unusual to hear a man say he didn't know his friend' s marriage was in serious trouble until he appeared one night asking if he could sleep on the sofa."
