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，bighearted Britons go the extra mile and spend
￡168 on pickmeups(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.”

【解题导语】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。
【难句分析】And while it costs nothing to be a shoulder to cry on，bighearted
Britons go the extra mile and spend ￡168 on pickmeups(提神物品)to get their mate
through a rocky patch(艰难时刻)like the breakup of a relationship.
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bighearted 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。
1．B 考查词义猜测。画线部分后的“go the extra mile and spend ￡168 on
pickmeups(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，但是英国人会为朋友付出更多，他们会花168英镑来为朋友买令人振作的物品，助其度过诸如关系破裂等困难时期。画线部分的意思应该是“慷慨的”，故选B。
2．D 考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“blowing ￡4, 679 on birthday
presents”“spend ￡168 on pickmeups(提神物品)”以及第三段中的“￡242 spent on 》》》》》》》》》积一时之跬步 臻千里之遥程《《《《《《《《《《《《
马明风整理 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。
3．B 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。
4．A 考查写作手法。根据文中的“￡23,870”“￡4,679”“￡168”“￡242”“￡18,000”等数据可知，本文作者是通过列数据的方法来行文的，故选A。
