________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
HOW MANY FRIENDS does the average person have? A researcher at Cornell University in the USA has recently done a study into this question, by finding out the number of friends a typical American has. He has just published the results. The researcher interviewed more than 2,000 adults aged 18 and over in his study. He asked them to list the names of the people they had discussed serious matters with in the last six months. About 48% of the people taking part gave the researcher one name, 18% gave him two, and about 29% gave him more than two.
These results contrast dramatically with the news published by social networking site Facebook recently. They said that the average user on the site has 130 friends. The Cornell University study found the average number of friends to be a lot lower – 2.03 to be exact. The researcher from Cornell has explained that the difference lies in the definition of the word friend. A friend on Facebook may be a person that the user has met by chance or someone that they will never meet in real
life. However, the friends in his study are close friends, who participants feel comfortable discussing their problems with.
In a similar study conducted 25 years ago, participants had a higher number of close friends. Then, the average number was three. Despite the lower number, the researcher does not believe that people are getting more isolated. Instead he thinks it’s a sign that they are becoming better at choosing
who they can trust with their secrets.
This is supported by the number of people in the study who could not think of any names of close friends they would discuss their personal problems with. The percentage of these participants is the same this time as it was 25 years ago. In both studies, just over 4% of the participants gave researchers no names. Apparently, the people who fall into this category are more likely to be men, or people with less education.
In general, the researcher from Cornell regards these findings as positive. In his opinion, they suggest that, at least in the case of Americans, people are not becoming less sociable.-

Question 39 of 43
39. Question

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
America is huge, so flying is the quickest way to get around the country. It can be expensive though, so here are some other ways of getting around.
If you aren’t in a hurry, the best alternative is to go by car. You have to be at least 25 years old to rent a car in the States, and you need a valid driver’s license and a major credit card to do so. There are a lot of rental car companies, and their prices vary a lot. Compare companies before you decide which one to use, and remember it can be cheaper to book for a week than for a day.
If you prefer to be driven rather than driving yourself, the next best way to travel is by bus. Greyhound is the major longdistance bus company, and it has routes through the USA and Canada. Tickets are much cheaper if you buy them seven days in advance, and there are often other offers. If youre travelling with a friend, your companion gets 50% off if you buy the I tickets three days before you travel, and children aged between twoand 11 get a 40% discount.
An alternative to using the bus is to take the train. Amtrak is the American rail company, and it has long-distance lines connecting all of America’s biggest cities. It also runs buses from major stations to smaller towns and national parks. Fares vary depending on the type of train and the seat, but you need to reserve at least three days ahead to get a discount. Students with an International Student Card get 15% off the standard fare. Bring your own food, as the dining car is quite expensive.-

America is huge, so flying is the quickest way to get around the country. It can be expensive though, so here are some other ways of getting around.
If you aren’t in a hurry, the best alternative is to go by car. You have to be at least 25 years old to rent a car in the States, and you need a valid driver’s license and a major credit card to do so. There are a lot of rental car companies, and their prices vary a lot. Compare companies before you decide which one to use, and remember it can be cheaper to book for a week than for a day.
If you prefer to be driven rather than driving yourself, the next best way to travel is by bus. Greyhound is the major longdistance bus company, and it has routes through the USA and Canada. Tickets are much cheaper if you buy them seven days in advance, and there are often other offers. If youre travelling with a friend, your companion gets 50% off if you buy the I tickets three days before you travel, and children aged between twoand 11 get a 40% discount.
An alternative to using the bus is to take the train. Amtrak is the American rail company, and it has long-distance lines connecting all of America’s biggest cities. It also runs buses from major stations to smaller towns and national parks. Fares vary depending on the type of train and the seat, but you need to reserve at least three days ahead to get a discount. Students with an International Student Card get 15% off the standard fare. Bring your own food, as the dining car is quite expensive.-
