I - Read the passage and choose the best option to answer each of the following question.

The causes of modern social problems, from divorce to homelessness and obesity, are often thought to bebased on areas such as poverty, stress or unhappiness But researchers suggest we are overlookingsomething crucial: friendship It would appear that our society is ignoring its importance.

The philosopher Aristotle said, “In poverty and other misfortunes of life, true friends are a sure refuge.They keep the young out of mischief; they comfort and aid the old in their weakness, and they incite those

in the prime of life to noble deeds.” Friendships are vital for wellbeing, but they take time to develop andcan’t be artificially created No wonder they are at risk of being neglected

Nevertheless, the Gallup Organization’s director, Tom Rath, believes that we are all aware of the value offriendship especially during difficult times In his book, “Vital Friends: The People You Can’t Afford ToLive Without”, Rath makes the point that if you ask people why they became homeless, why theirmarriage failed or why they overeat, they often say it is because of the poor quality, or non existence offriendships They feel outcast or unloved

Rath undertook a massive study of friendship, alongside several leading researchers His work resulted insome surprising statistics: If your best friend eats healthily, you are five times more likely to have ahealthy diet yourself Married people say friendship is more than five times as important as marriage.Those who say they have no real friends at work have only a one in 12 chance of feeling engaged in theirjob Conversely, if you have a “best friend at work”, you are seven times more likely to feel engaged inyour job

II - Read the passage and fill each blank ONE or TWO words to complete the statements.

As you think about what makes a healthy relationship, remember that understanding your partner’s needsinvolves communicating effectively with them You don’t need to be a mind reader to know what yourpartner wants, but communicating in a healthy relationship means listening Remember, it’s not about you

What if the road ahead is tough and full of challenges? Problems, obstacles and misalignments areopportunities to push forward and grow You’ve heard of the phrase, “He/she got too comfortable.” Ifyou’re completely comfortable in your relationship, you probably aren’t growing or changing Lack ofgrowth is better known as stagnation, which can lead to deterioration when it comes to a relationship.Growth is a product of uncertainty and an act of pushing into uncharted territory Sometimes discomfort is

a good thing, so don’t let fear hold your relationship - or you - back

None of this means that you need to ignore or play down the differences between you and your partner

On the contrary, appreciating your differences is essential to maintaining a sense of excitement in therelationship Those little differences are what awakened your interest in each other in the first place, andthis is something that you should always keep close to your hearts and minds Appreciate each other andyou will not only appreciate the life you have created together - you’ll revel in it
