The Cambridge Dictionary's Word of the Year 2025, “parasocial” made me think of my college years. When I went to college, I expected to have the social experiences I had seen in old movies: close friendships and late-night discussions. But social life at my college was full of loud parties.
It was a lonely time. I found writers who thought like me. Their books made me feel less alone. “Trust yourself,” Ralph Waldo Emerson advised. I could almost feel his hand on my shoulder as I stood apart from my schoolmates. But so often, I felt they could never be my friends. With friends, I imagined, there must be a real meeting of minds.
It's simply easier to find people who share our ideas in books and movies than in the small circle nearby. After all, it's a bigger world out there. We may find people we really admire, who are smarter than anyone we know personally. It is easy to want to make friends with the characters in books and movies.
Today, though, there is another choice for people who have difficulty forming connections: AI. You can create a friend that you cannot find in real life. AI can take on almost any role. In some ways, it seems like the perfect friend.
But these parasocial friendships are always one-sided. What is real friendship? It is built on give and take. We want support from our friends, and they want support from us. We want to share our news and ideas with our friends, and they want to share theirs with us. It's comforting to know that you're not alone in having a certain thought. However, it's also important to provide that comfort for someone else.
Some people find inspiration in Ralph Waldo Emerson, but others admire Tu Youyou. Don't just admire them from afar—start making friends with the person sitting next to you, or someone in your dorm, or a classmate in the classroom. Real friendship often starts when we reach out to others.
1. Why did the writer feel lonely in college?
2. What did the writer believe true friendship must have?
3. According to the passage, who can be people's parasocial friends? (List 2 examples)
4. In the writer's opinion, how is parasocial friendship different from real friendship?
5. What kind of friends does the writer advise us to make?

答案
四、【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。文章围绕“真正的友谊”展开讨论，作者先讲述自己大学时难以融入社交生活，进而思考真正的友谊，还提及当下人们借助书籍、电影、AI等寻找类似友谊的现象，最后呼吁人们与身边的人建立真正的友谊。
1. Because the social life didn't match his expectations. 根据第一段“When I went to college, I expected to have the social experiences I had seen in old movies: close friendships and late-night discussions. But social life at my college was full of loud parties.”可知作者期待老电影里亲密的友谊和深夜长谈，但现实是喧闹的派对，这种现实与期望的落差导致了孤独感。
2. A real meeting of minds. 根据第二段“With friends, I imagined, there must be a real meeting of minds.”可知作者认为真正的友谊必须有心灵上的真正契合。
3. Characters in books and movies and AI. 根据第三段“It is easy to want to make friends with the characters in books and movies.”和第四段“Today, though, there is another choice for people who have difficulty forming connections: AI.”可知，书籍和电影中的人物以及AI都可以成为人们的拟社会朋友。
4. Parasocial friendship is always one-sided, while real friendship is built on give and take. 根据第五段“But these parasocial friendships are always one-sided ... It is built on give and take.”可知拟社会友谊总是单方面的，而真正的友谊是建立在相互给予和索取上的。
5. Friends around us. 根据最后一段“Don't just admire them from afar—start making friends with the person sitting next to you, or someone in your dorm, or a classmate in the classroom.”可知作者建议我们与身边的人交朋友。
