       All plant cells（細胞）are capable of taking up water.  Even dead ones do to a certain degree.  Absorption（吸收）of water by dead cell walls makes wood become larger.  In common land plants,  the living cells of roots take up most of the water.  Land plants without roots do exist,  however.  Those greenish-yellow lichens（苔蘚）you see on rocks in the high mountains have no roots.  Half a billion years ago,  when water plants started to enter the land,  the first land plants did not have roots.

       _____________________________________.  These flowering plants are “the higher plants” because they evolved（進化）recently and are thus considered higher on the evolutionary scale（進化度）. In the Peruvian desert,  there grows one of these rootless higher plants,  a bromeliad.  It is a relative of the pineapple.  Even if this plant had roots,  they would be of no use,  because where the plant grows,  it never rains.  The plant gets its water only from the dew（露水）it collects at night,  when its leaves cool off.  Such rootless plants,  of course,  can be moved with ease,  but they will only grow when they are placed out in the open.  If they are placed too near a house,  the radiation from the heat of the house prevents the leaves from cooling and so prevents dew from forming,  and the plant dies.  In the southern United States and in Puerto Rico,  one sees bromeliads growing high above the streets on the insulation（絕緣物）of electric wires.  These plants get their water from rain,  and the only soil they ever come in contact with is the dust that may blow on their leaves.

Betty and Harold have been married for years. But one thing still puzzles old Harold. How is it that he can leave Betty and her friend Joan sitting on the sofa, talking, go out to a ballgame, come back three and a half hours later, and they’re still sitting on the sofa? Talking?

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

Betty shrugs, Talk?We’re friends.

Researching this result 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 results were completely clear: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 would 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 always 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(感情危機)“Most women, ”says Rubin, “identified(認定)at least one,  usually more, trusted friends to whom they could turn in a trouble 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 the 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 a sofa. ”

Going back as far as I can remember as a child in an Indian area, I had no senses of knowing about the other people around me except that we were all somehow equal…There was only one class. Nobody was interested in getting on top of anybody else.

You could see it in our games. Nobody organized them. There weren’t any competitive sports. But we took part in lots of activities and we were organized, but not in the sense that there were wars of finding out who had won and who had lost. We played balls like everyone else, but no one kept scores. Even if we did formally take part in the games we played, no  one was a winner though someone may have won. It was only at that moment. If you beat someone by pulling a bow and arrow and shooting the arrow further, it didn’t mean you were better in any why. It just meant that at that particular time the arrow went further; maybe it was just the way you let the bow go. These kinds of things are very important to me and that is why I am talking about them.

One of the very important things was the relationship we had with our families. We didn’t always live at home. We lived wherever we happened to be at that particular time when it got dark. If you were two or three miles away from home, then that was where you slept.

C. they didn’t hold any activities which could produce winners or losers

Making friends is a skill.  Like most skills,  it improves with   36  .  If you want to make friends,  you must be able to take  37  .  You must first go   38  there are people.  You won't make friends staying home alone.  

　　Join a club or a group,  for talking with those who  39  the same things as you do is easier.  40   join someone in some activity.

　　Many people are   41   when talking to people.   42   meeting strangers means facing the unknown.  And it's human   43   to feel a bit uncomfortable about the unknown.

　　Most of our fears about dealing with new people come from   44  about ourselves.  We  45  other people are judging us,  find us too tall or too short,  too thin or too fat.   46  don't forget that they must be feeling the same way.  Try to accept yourself

　　  47  you are,  and try to put the other person at ease.  In this way you'll feel   48   .

　　Try to be self-confident even if you don't feel that way  49  you enter a room full of   50  such as a big hall,  walk straight in,  look   51   at other people and smile.  If you see someone you'd like to say something to,  don't wait for the other person to   52  a conversation.

　　Just meeting someone  53   doesn't mean that you will make friends with that person-friendship is   54  on mutual liking and "giving and taking".  It takes  55   and effort to develop.  And there are things that keep a new friendship from growing.
