     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 (暂时的). This is the most common type. It usually disappears
quickly and does not require any special attention. The second kind, situational loneliness, is a natural result
or a particular situation-for example, a family problem, the death of a 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 severe. Unlike the second type, chronic (长期的) loneliness usually
last more than two yeas and has no specific cause. People who experience habitual loneliness have problems
socializing and becoming close to others. Unfortunately, many chronically lone people think there is little or
nothing they can do to improve their condition.
     Psychologists (心理学家) agree that one important fact in loneliness is a person's social contacts, e.g,
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 lone people may have many social
contacts, they sometimes feel they should have more. They question their own 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 normal, healthy part of life, chronic loneliness
can be a very sad, and sometimes dangerous condition.
1. How would you treat temporary loneliness according to the passage?
[     ]
A. Talk to friends
B. Just ignore it

A. lonely people don't have many friends
B. lonely people don't have many social problems
C. one problem of loneliness is a person's social contacts
D. we depend on various people for different reasons
3. Why do psychologists want to help chronically lonely people?

4. What is the best title of the passage?

many of you here this evening. I'm sure you're all enjoyed the fine food, and that you are ready to hear our
guest speaker.

number one in the world in both singles and doubles. He has played in the Davis Cup and the Hopman Cup

he was twelve-yes, at only twelve. And Billy has not forgotten where it all started. That's why he accepted
our invitation to speak to us tonight. We're proud to have played a small part in Billy's success.

     A lot of us lose life's tough battles by starting a frontal (正面的) attack-when a touch of humor might well
enable us to win. Consider the case of a young friend of mine, who hit a traffic jam on his way to work shortly
after receiving an ultimatum (最后通牒) about being late on the job. Although there was a good reason for
Sam's being late-serious illness at home-he decided that this by-now-familiar excuse wouldn't work any longer.
His supervisor was probably already pacing up and down preparing a dismissal speech.
     Yet, Sam entered the office at 9:35. The place was as quiet as a locker room (更衣室); everyone was hard
at work. Sam's supervisor came up to him. Suddenly, Sam forced a grin and stretched out his hand. "How do
you do!" he said. "I'm Sam Maynard. I'm applying for a job, which, I understand, became available just 35
minutes ago. Does the early bird get the worm?"
     The room exploded in laughter. The supervisor clamped off a smile and walked back to his office. Sam
Maynard had saved his job-with the only tool that could win, a laugh.
     Humor is a most effective, yet frequently neglected, means of handling the difficult situations in our lives.
It can be used for patching up differences, apologizing, saying "no", criticizing, getting the other fellow to do
what you want without his losing face. For some jobs, it's the only tool that can succeed. It is a way to discuss
subjects so sensitive that serious dialog may start a quarrel. For example, many believe that comedians on
television are doing more today for racial and religious tolerance than people in any other forum.
1. Why was Sam late for his job?
A. Because he was ill.
B. Because he got up late.
C. Because he was caught in a traffic jam.
D. He was busy applying for a new job.
2. The main idea of this passage is _____.
A. Sam Maynard saved his job with humor
B. humor is important in our lives
C. early bird gets the worm
D. humor can solve racial discriminations
3. The phrase "clamped off" in Paragraph 3 means _____.
A. tried to hold back
B. tried to set
C. charged
D. gave out
4. Which of the following statements can we infer from the passage?
A. Many lose life's battles for they are lacking in a sense of humor.
B. It wasn't the first time that Sam came late for his work.
C. Sam was supposed to come to his office at 8:30.
D. Humor is the most effective way of solving problems.
