Most people feel lonely sometimes, but it usually only lasts between a few minutes and a few hours. This kind of loneliness is not serious. In fact, it is quite normal. For some people, though, loneliness can last for years. Now researchers say there are three different types of loneliness.
The first kind of loneliness is temporary. This is the most common type. It usually disappears quickly and does not require any special attention. The second kind is situation, for example, family problem, the death of loved one, or moving to a new place. Although this kind of loneliness can cause physical problems, such as headaches and sleeplessness, it usually does not last for more than a year. The third kind of loneliness is the most serious. Unlike the second type, chronic (the opposite of “temporary”) usually lasts more than two years and has no specific cause. People who experience habitual loneliness have problems socializing and becoming close to others. However, many chronically lonely people think there is little or nothing they can do to improve their condition.
Psychologists agree that one important factor in loneliness is a person’s social contacts, for example, friends, family members, co-workers, etc. We depend on various people for different reasons. For instance, our families give us emotional support, our parents and teachers give us guidance, and our friends share similar interests and activities. However, psychologists have found that, though lonely people may have many social contacts, they sometimes feel they should have more. They question their popularity.
Psychologists are trying to find ways to help habitually lonely people for two reasons: they are unhappy and unable to socialize and there is a connection between chronic loneliness and serious illness such as heart disease, while temporary and situational loneliness can be a sad, and sometimes dangerous condition.
1. How would you treat temporary loneliness according to the passage? ________.
A. Just ignore it
B. Talk to friends
C. Go to see a doctor
D. Ask your teachers for guidance
2.Why do psychologists want to help chronically lonely people? ________
A. Chronic loneliness can cause family problems.
B. Chronic loneliness can not be overcome.
C. Chronic loneliness can cause serious illness.
D. Chronic loneliness is incurable.
3.Loneliness is divided according to _____.
A. different seasons when it appears
B. different people it happens to
C. the time it lasts
D. the places where it appears
4.What is the best title for the passage? ________
A. Loneliness and diseases
B. Three kinds of loneliness
C. Loneliness and social contacts
D. Chronic loneliness

E
Before we start a voyage, we usually try to find out more or less definitely where we are bound and how we are supposed to get there.
I happen to have the “Concise Oxford dictionary” on my desk and that will do as well as any other. The word I am looking for appears at the bottom of Page 344. edition 1912.
“Geography: the science of the earth's surface, form, physical features, natural and political divisions, climate, productions and population.”
I could not possibly hope to do better, but I still stress some of the aspects of the case at the expenses of others, because I intend to place man in the centre of the stage. This book of mine will not merely discuss the surface of the earth and its physical features, together with its political and natural boundaries. I would rather call it a study of man in search of food and shelter and leisure for himself and for his family and an attempt to his background or has reshaped his physical surroundings in order to be comfortable and well nourished and happy with his limited strength.
Among the two million human beings in the world, there is of course the widest possible range for all sorts of experiments of an economic and social and cultural nature. It seems me that those experiments deserve our attention before anything else. For a mountain is after all merely a mountain until it has been seen by human eyes and has been walked on by human feet and until its and slopes and valleys have been occupied and fought over and planted by a dozen generation of hungry settlers.
The Atlantic Ocean was just as wide and deep and as wet and salty before the beginning of the 13th century as after, but it took the human touch to make it what it is today—a bridge between the New World and the Old, the highway for the commerce between East and West.
For thousands of years the endless Russian plains lay ready to offer their abundant harvest to whoever should take the trouble to sow the first grain. But the aspect of that country today would he a very different one if the hand of a German or a Frank, rather than that of a Slav, had guided the iron-pointed stick that plowed the first furrows (犁沟).
The island of Nippon would shake and quake just as continually, whether they happened to be settled by Japanese or by the Tasmanian race, but in the latter case they would hardly be able to feed 60,000,000 people.
Generally speaking, I have paid more attention to the purely “human” side of geography than to the commercial problems which are so important in a day and age devoted to mass production.
1.In the first four paragraphs, the author wants to share with the readers ______.
A. his approach to planning a voyage
B. his emphasis on using a dictionary
C. his definition of the word “geography”
D. his altitude to the earth's physical features
2.Which of the following will the author NOT consider to be on experiment according to Paragraph 5?
A. Exploring a mountain.
B. Climbing a mountain.
C. Planting on slopes and valleys.
D. Becoming hungry.
3.Which of the following is implied about the Atlantic Ocean?
A. It is wide, deep, wet and salty.
B. Human touch makes it important.
C. There is a bridge over it.
D. The highway is busy there.
4.The author mentioned the Russian plains and the island of Nippon to show that _____.
A. they both feed a lot of people
B. they enjoy very good natural conditions
C. different people may make the same place different
D. their natural conditions haven't changed for many years
