A
I come from a close, loving family. I have three elder brothers. My parents owned a wood supply business. But they were active volunteers in our community. When I was a kid, people used to laugh at my dad and say his volunteer work was his business and his business was his hobby. That rubbed off on me. For example, I was a Big Brother in high school, and I continued doing volunteer work in college.
In 1979, just before graduation, my brother Mark asked if I’d like to help him start a software company. So I joined his company and I was happy that later it became very unusual in the software industry. Once I started working. I continued to volunteer.
I’m a big believer that you learn from those around you by volunteering. So I volunteer to company the elderly persons who live alone. I met Malcolm, who’s physically healthy. We talk about what friends talk about. He is also interested in my work. He often says ―You can get caught up being the CEO of a half-billion-dollar software company very quickly.‖
I learn kindness, humility (谦恭), a positive outlook on life from Malcolm. Most people volunteer for a year. But we have been together for five years and there is no end in sight. 41. The underlined phrase ―rubbed off on‖ probably means ______.
A. interested B. hurt C. supported(支持) D. influenced（影响） 42. The writer met Malcolm _______.
A. when he was a kid B. when he was in college C. before he graduated D. after he started working 43. From the third paragraph we can know that _____.

Everyone needs friends. We all like to feel close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh and do things with. Surely, there are times when we need to be alone. We don't always want people around. But we would feel lonely if we never had a friend.
No two people are the same. Sometimes friends don't get along well, which doesn't mean that they no longer like each other. Most of the time they will go on being friends. Sometimes friends move away, and then we feel very sad. We miss them much, but we can call them and write to them. Maybe we would never see them again, and we can make new friends. It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them. Families sometimes name their children after a close friend. Many places are named after men and women, if they are friendly to people in a town. Some libraries are named this way. So are some schools. We think of these people when we go to these places.
There's more good news for people, if they have friends. These people live longer than those people if those don't have friends. Why? It could be that they are happier. Being happy helps you stay well. Or it could be just knowing that someone cares, if someone cares about you, you take better care of yourself.
46. The first paragraph tells us __________.
A. none needs friends B. we always need friends around us C. making friends is the need in people's life D. we need to be alone 47. Which of the following is what the writer doesn't say in the passage? A. People are happy when their friends leave them.
B. People may never see their friends after their friends move away. C. People can know their friends in different ways.
D. People like their friends very much if they get to know them.
48. Which of the following is the most probable place people name after friendly people? A. A house B. A room C. A library D. A village 49. If people have friends, they would live longer, because __________.
