42．B 事实细节题。从第二段的The idea that popularity could have a serious impact on one's earning potential shouldn't come as too much of a surprise可知A项是不正确的；根据第四段的Maybe that's why some people think the younger generations are in the age of friendaholism. 可知C项的说法不正确；D选项中的not…but…意思是“不是……而是……”，而文章中第三段They not only create wider social circles for you but lift your mood when you occasionally feel depressed…中的not only…but also…意思是“不但……而且……”，故D项说法也不正确；B项从第二段的The researchers noted that if you want to get ahead in life, social skills and networking are easily as powerful as talent and hard work.可看出是正确的。故选B项。
43．A 判断推理题。从文章第三段可推出，答案应该选A项。
44．A 观点态度题。从整篇文章看，作者的态度应该是客观的。objective “客观的”；subjective “主观的”；neutral“中立的”；optimistic “乐观的”。故选A项。
