分析 短文主要介绍了喜欢独处的人会成为你好朋友的一些原因．
解答 36．D，考查因果关系，根据前文提示they don't like to have too busy a schedule，可知此空他们愿意跟你出去的原因就是他们没有那么多的计划，故答案为D．
37．A，考查前后衔接，后文提到的they enjoy their share of solitude，那些享受独处时光的人不是空格前提到的那些朋友，因此此空应指出另外的一些人，故答案为A．
38．F，考查前后衔接，这一段的主题是They value privacy．注重个人隐私，因此此空的F选项提到"他们不需要跟整个世界的人分享他们自己的故事"．
39．G，考查标题归纳，这一段的主要内容是那些喜欢独处的人会充分利用时间，故G选项是其标题的总结．
40．C，考查前后衔接，根据主语They really value a true friend．他们真的很珍惜真正的朋友，因此C选项提到的是喜欢独处的人朋友少，但特别重视．
点评 题目要求从7个选项中选择恰当的语句填入空格处．这种类型的题目关键是符合逻辑和语境，要强调从上下文中寻找具体的解题依据．
