    　　Boys need friends, suffer when they don’t believe they have any, and worry over the ups and downs of relationships．Many adults believe that somehow boys need friends less than girls do, in truth, though, no boy is an island; boys value their friends throughout childhood and adolescence and are happier and healthier when they have solid relationships with peers．

    　　Despite the common belief that girls are better at relationships, most boys consider their friends a very important part of their lives and boys may actually be better at keeping friendships than girls are．A recent study of 10 to 15-year-old boys and girls found that girls’ friendships are actually more fragile(脆弱)．Girls tend to say and do hurtful things to each other more frequently than boys, and girls are more hurt by the end of a friendship．

    　　Boys are the living definition of the phrase “peer group”; they love games with rules, competition, and doing things together．Boys seem to enjoy, even need the opportunity to test themselves against others, and many lasting friendships begin in karate(空手道)class or on the basketball court．Competence and skill are widely respected; being picked last for a team or left out altogether is an experience that can haunt(萦绕心头)a boy for years．

    　　As boys mature(成熟), the friendship becomes even more important, and it frequently widens to include girls．During the teen years, friends can become the most important part of a boy’s life － and a part in which his parents are not included．The confusion of being a teenager leads boys to form close bonds with friends．There is the sense for many boys that a friend is someone who is “always there for me”, someone he can trust．They may be partners in crime or partners in study, but the friendship of adolescent boys can run surprisingly deep．

    (1)

    Your son,

    　　While I was in my 4th month of pregnancy(妊娠期)with my second child, we were preparing for a trip to Louisiana, where Marshall's family live, to celebrate Jane's 2nd birthday．Two days before we were to leave, we got the shocking news that I was going to lose the baby．Not knowing when this would happen, we decided to continue with our trip．

    　　Since Marshall's family lives on a 600-acre cattle farm, you often find that you have a lot of time to yourself to think when you are there．That is precisely what I did not want to do at this time．I told Marshall that I needed to get a good book to get lost in while I was there．I told him I heard the Harry Potter books were good, so he went out and got the first one for me．

    　　During that trip, I totally got lost in the book, which was of great help during a time when I needed a distraction to forget about the sadness．In the book, I noticed the name“Seamus”．I vaguely remembered it was pronounced“Shamus”and I liked the sound of that．I mentioned it to Marshall and he liked it too．Toward the end of the trip, I had just 5 chapters left and I knew I was about to finish the first book, which I was pretty excited about．

    　　Soon after we put Jane down to bed, I had started labor(分娩), so I was unable to read．The labor lasted 5 and 1/2 hours, but Marshall stayed there with me, sitting beside me and reading aloud the last 5 chapters of Harry Potter．I can never fully explain how much that helped me through the experience．And ever since then, Marshall and I both have been fans of the Harry Potter books．We remember how they helped us get through that time of our lives．

    　　We were sad to have lost the baby, but the name Seamus started our journey toward adoption．And we gave this name to our adopted son．Though our Seamus doesn't have a drop of Irish blood in him, the name fits him perfectly．

    　　movie magic can defy reality, but actors are inescapably human．They grow and change, and don't necessarily change for the better．

    　　Harry Potter actors, who are now saying their final goodbyes to their roles, have all become fully-fledged(成熟的)grown-ups, worlds apart from the little kids who began the Hogwarts' adventures in 2001．

    　　While many fans feel sad that the magical franchise(特权)is coming to an end, some feel even sadder to see how much the actors have changed over the years．

    　　"Daniel Radcliffe(who plays Harry Potter)went from being a really cute kid to a thin, pale-looking guy," said Filipino Internet User Lealuvy．"I kind of wish he stayed a kid forever．''

    　　Radcliffe himself doesn't seem to be bothered by his change of appearance．In an interview with GQ magazine last week, he teased himself："If people find me sexy or cool, it's because they like short, little, nerdy guys．And we do have our niche(合适的职业)．"

    　　Meanwhile, actors growing up to be handsome have their headaches．

    　　Harry Melling, who played Potter's cousin Dudley Dursley, told The Telegraph that he was almost recast for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows when producers discovered he' d lost a lot of weight he had as a kid．He was too thin for the part．

    　　"They(the producers)did this double take, 'Oh my God, we are going to have to do something', and I felt guilty," said Meiling．

    　　Aside from changes in looks, the gradual personality change of child stars is another big concern of audience and producers．

    　　Miley Cyrus began her career at 13 in Disney's hit TV series Hannah Montana．

    　　When Cyrus decided to show her adult personality by releasing "sexy" photos, people began to get uneasy about her．Reports said that furious Disney bosses were considering replacing Cyrus with a more clean-cut teen star．

    　　Cyrus finally kept her role after public apologies．But some parents banned their children watching the show．

    　　"My daughter has been banned from watching the show," supermodel Cindy Crawford told Showbiz Spy．"I really don't think Miley Cyrus is much of a role model for my kid．"

    (1)

    The underlined word "defy" in Paragraph 1 means "________"．

    [　　]

    A．

    challenge

    B．

    control

    C．

    clarify

    Actors always grow and change for the better．

    Daniel Radcliffe can't escape from being a kid．

    C．

    Some fans feel sad about the ending of the film series and the actors' changes．

    D．

    Harry Melling was too thin to recast for the film．

    (3)

    Radcliffe doesn't feel bothered by his change of appearance because ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    people think him sexy or cool

    B．

    people like short, little, nerdy guys

    C．

    he thinks he grows up to be handsome

    D．

    some people do think such a boy as him is sexy

    (4)

    What do audience and producers concern about?

    [　　]

    A．

    The actors' changes in appearances and gradual personality．

    B．

    The actors' weight．

    C．

    Whether the producers did the double take．

    D．

    Whether the actors are sexy or clean-cut．

    (5)

    We can infer that ________ from the story of Miley Cyrus．

    [　　]

    A．

    Miley Cyrus decided to change her sexy adult personality later on

    B．

    Disney bosses prefer pure teen stars to sexy adults in their movies
