Having hundreds of friends online is no substitute (代替品) for a handful of close friends in real life. Researchers discovered that people with only a few friends were at least as happy as those with far more if many of theirs were online. The number of “peripheral others”, someone connected with online—former classmates and co-workers, for example—had no connection with how satisfied they felt.
Scientists did their study using data from two online surveys conducted on 1,496 people by a non-profit research organization. People taking part in the study shared their ages, the make-up of their social networks, how often they had different types of social interactions, and their own feelings of well-being.
“Loneliness has less to do with the number of friends you have, and more to do with how you feel about your friends,” said Dr Bruine, an expert of the study. “If you feel lonely, it may be more helpful to make a positive connection with a friend than to try and seek out new people to meet.”
In the study, they found older people tended to have smaller social networks. Younger people’s were larger but this was mostly made up of “peripheral others”—not true friends, just people they knew—and did not contribute to their happiness.
Even variations in the number of family members or neighbours somebody spent time with did not affect how happy they were with their social life. Dr Bruine said her research echoed (呼应) other findings showing people would be happier if a larger proportion of their online friends were actually their friends in reality.
She added, “Stereotypes of aging tend to paint older adults in many cultures as sad and lonely. But the research shows that older adults’ smaller networks didn’t weaken social satisfaction and well-being. In fact, older adults tend to report better well-being than younger adults.”

【文章大意】这是一篇说明文。文章说明了许多网络朋友比不过现实生活中的几个好朋友。
1. B 推理判断题。根据第一段的“Researchers discovered that people with a few friends were at least as happy as those with far more if many of theirs were online.”可推知，与众多的朋友对面交流能增加一个人的幸福感。B项符合以上推测，故选B项。
2. C 细节理解题。根据第二段的“People taking part in the study shared their ages，the make-up of their social networks，how often they had different types of social interactions，and their own feelings of well-being.”可知，参与研究的1496个人要彻底透露他们的社交生活。C选项“彻底地透露他们的的社交生活。”符合以上说法，故选C项。
3. B 推理判断题。根据第三段的“Loneliness has less to do with the number of friends you have，and more to do with how you feel about your friends ...”和第四段的“Younger people’s were larger but this was mostly made up of ‘peripheral others’—not true friends，just people they knew—and did not contribute to their happiness.”可推知，年轻人的朋友多，但不是真正的朋友，大多是靠网络联系的边缘人。由此推测，现实生活中没有朋友的年轻人更容易觉得孤独。故选B项。
