36.F 上下文理解.根据后文"We don't tend to have conversations about mental well-being,"可知,我们不趋向去和别人谈论自己的精神状况,不管和别人多么的亲密,故选F.
37.B上下文理解.根据该段的介绍If you sense something different about the way your friend is acting-maybe he's not smiling much these days…可知,如果你感觉你朋友行为有不一样的地方,他可能需要帮助.特别是最近行为举止不像他的时候.
38.D上下文理解.通过下文but if a friend responds with anger,that could mean you're onto something."可知,如果一个朋友反应表示生气,可能表明你的朋友出问题了,故选D.
39.C上下文理解.根据前句的例子Drinking more and ignoring personal hygiene(卫生) can be signs that someone is in trouble显示,如果喝酒很多或者忽视个人卫生表示这个人有问题,所以你要把这些征兆看出来,关心他们.
