More than forty thousand readers told us what they looked for in close friendships, what they expected    61  friends, what they were willing to give in    62   , and how satisfied they were    63    the quality of their friendships. The    64    give little comfort to social critics.

Friendship    65    to be a unique form of    66    bonding. Unlike marriage or the ties that    67    parents and children, it is not defined or regulated by    68   . Unlike other social roles that we are expected to    69    —as citizens, employees, members of professional societies and    70    organizations—it has its own principle, which is to promote    71    of warmth, trust, love, and affection    72    two people.

The survey on friendship appeared in the March    73    of Psychology Today. The findings    74   that issues of trust and betrayal(背叛) are    75    to friendship. They also suggest that our readers do not    76     for friends only among those who are      77    like them, but find many      78    differ in race, religion, and ethnic(種族的) background. Arguably the most important      79    that emerges from the data,     80   , is not something that we found—but what we did not.

For the past two years, I have been working on students’ evaluation of classroom teaching. I have kept a record of informal conversations    71    some 300 students from at    72    twenty-one colleges and universities. The students were generally    73    and direct in their comments    74    how course work could be better    75   . Most of their remarks were kindly    76    —with tolerance rather than bitterness—and frequently were softened by the    77    that the students were speaking    78    some, not all, instructors. Nevertheless,   79    the following suggestions and comments indicate, students feel   80     with things-as-they-are in the classroom.

Professors should be    81    from reading lecture notes. “It makes their    82    monotonous （單調(diào)的）.”

If they are going to read, why not    83    out copies of the lecture? Then we    84    need to go to class. Professors should    85    repeating in lectures material that is in the textbook. “   86    we’ve read the material, we want to    87    it or hear it elaborated on,    88   repeated.”  “A lot of students hate to buy a   89     text that the professor has written    90    to have his lectures repeat it.”
