How well do you know...?

-ow well do you know the people in your life? Apparently, not very well according to a study which
1)
(come out) last week. It found that the vast majority of us get the wrong impression
of people we know at one time or another.

One typical example from the study was that of Margaret (not her real name), a twenty-year-old student. Margaret
met a young man called Stuart while she (2)
They (3)
(work) as a tour guide during the summer.
(take to) each other and decided to go out.

not believe) that he (8)
(just/do) something awful, said Margaret. After this incident,
Margaret was angry with Stuart, but even more disappointed that she (9)
(allow)
someone to hurt her.

Although the explanation for this case might be that Margaret and Stuarts relationship was short, the study also
(10)
(find) that the disappointment of not knowing someone can occur after a fifty-year
relationship. One researcher involved in the study said: It is hard to get to know people, but it is even harder to
understand why you never get to know them.
