【长难句分析】One day, while my clothes were going around, I picked up a Unity Magazine and read an article about a woman who had been in similar circumstances.(第四段第四句)

Best friends may be priceless but the cost of keeping the relationship alive is ￡23,870.
According to a study, a BFF (Best Friend Forever) does not come cheap with devoted pals blowing ￡4,679 on birthday presents alone over a lifetime. And while it costs nothing to be a shoulder to cry on, big-hearted Britons go the extra mile and spend ￡168 on pick-me-ups (提神物品) to get their mate through a rocky patch(艰难时刻) like the breakup of a relationship.
There's a further ￡242 spent on presents to show how much they mean from gifts bought on holiday to treats for no reason. And distance does not break up a close friendship as BFFs spend a whopping (巨大的) ￡18,000 on travel to see each other despite being miles apart because of university, jobs and marriage.
The study by cashback site TopCashBack found on average BFFs who wed can expect ￡431 spent on them and a further ￡283 on gifts when they have children. And they can rely on their pals to help out when they move house as they will obtain ￡127 worth of housewarming presents and takeaways as well as putting in a shift with the packing and unpacking.
The survey based on a friendship lasting 40 years found more than eight in ten adults with a BFF felt their friendships were worth every penny.
TopCashBack spokesperson Natasha Smith said, “Those friendships which stand the test of time are often the most important in our lives. However, they come at a cost. From train tickets once a month to flights and a new dress for a wedding on the Italian coast, the price paid for having a best mate can soon add up. But when we asked people to compare their friendship with the monetary investment, only 14% thought their friendship was equal to their investment with the vast majority thinking it was worth more.”
【文章大意】 最好的朋友也许是无价的，但维持一段友谊却是高价的。那么你知道维持一段友谊需要多少钱吗？一项研究给出了答案。
【长难句分析】And while it costs nothing to be a shoulder to cry on, big-hearted Britons go the extra mile and spend ￡168 on pick-me-ups(提神物品) to get their mate through a rocky patch(艰难时刻) like the breakup of a relationship.(第二段第二句)
分析：本句为复合句。while it costs nothing to be a shoulder to cry on为让步状语从句。主句为big-hearted Britons go the extra mile...relationship。
译文：虽然在朋友哭泣时成为朋友的依靠不需要花费什么，但是慷慨大方的英国人会为朋友付出更多，他们会花168英镑来为朋友买能令人振作的物品，助其度过诸如关系破裂等困难时期。
5. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 2 mean? A．Ambitious. B．Generous. C．Troublesome. D．Energetic.
【答案】B
【解析】考查词义猜测。画线部分后的“go the extra mile and spend ￡168 on pick-me-ups(提神物品) to get their mate through a rocky patch (艰难时刻) like the breakup of a relationship”就是对它的进一步说明。此处指虽然在朋友哭泣时成为朋友的依靠并不需要花费什么，但是英国人会为朋发付出更多，他们会花168英镑来为朋友买令人振作的物品，助其度过诸如失恋等困难时期。画线部分的意思应该是“慷慨的”，故选B。
6. To keep the relationship, where do BFFs spend most money? A．Buying birthday presents. B．Cheering up a friend in low spirits. C．Paying for holiday gifts and other treats. D．Going a particular distance to visit friends. 【答案】D
【解析】考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“blowing ￡4,679 on birthday presents”“spend ￡168 on pick-me-ups(提神物品)”以及第三段中的“￡242 spent on presents...from gifts bought on holiday to treats...”“spend a whopping (巨大的)￡18,000 on travel to see each other”可知，为了维持一段友谊，花在旅途中的费用是最多的，所以选D。
7. What is Natasha's understanding of BFF friendship? A．It's costly and unaffordable. B．It's expensive but worthwhile. C．It's rewarding but hard to keep. D．It's changeable but worth possessing. 【答案】B
【解析】考查观点态度。根据最后一段中的“Those friendships which stand the test of time are often the most important in our lives. However, they come at a cost.”可知，Natasha认为，经受得起时间考验的友谊通常是我们人生中最重要的东西，但那是要付出成本的。也就是说与一生的挚友的友谊很贵但很值得。所以选B。
8. How is the passage developed? A．By listing figures. B．By giving examples. C．By analyzing causes.
