Maybe that’s why some people think the younger generations are in the age of Friendaholism (交友狂症)．A woman even complained that the networking website Facebook’s 5,000-friend limit was too low for her large reserve of social contacts.

　　But what does a friend mean? Should friends be regarded as a form of currency?

　　“Call me uncool，but I think of a friend as an actual person with whom I have an actual history and whom I enjoy actually seeing.It seems，however，that this is no longer the definition of a friend，”said Meghan Daum，who works with the Los Angeles Times in the US.

　　Daum dislikes the idea that quantity trumps quality in the age of Friendaholism.She thought the idea of friendship，at least among the growing population of Internet social networkers，was to get as many of not-really-friends as possible.For example，a friend might be someone you might know personally but who could just as easily be the friend of a friend of some other Facebook friend you don’ t actually know.Although she agreed that social ties grease (润滑) the wheels of life，she also warned，“Too bad one thing money can’t buy is a real friend.”

　　1．What can friends do in the eyes of Xu Yanchun?

　　A．They can help you with your schoolwork.

　　B．They teach you how to make more money.

　　C．They help you to get rid of sadness and cheer up.
