How many people have I met who have told me about the book that they have been planning to write but have never yet found the time? Far too many.

This is Life, all right, but we do treat it like a rehearsal (排演) and, unhappily, we do miss so many of its best moments.

We take jobs to stay alive and provide homes for our families, always making ourselves believe that this style of life is merely a temporary state of affairs along the road to what we really want to do. Then, at 60 or 65, we are suddenly presented with a clock and several grandchildren and we look back and realize that all those years waiting for Real Life to come along were in fact real life.

    In America they have a saying much laughed at by the English：“Have a nice day!” They speak slowly and seriously in their shops, hotels and sandwich bars. I think it is a wonderful phrase, reminding us, in effect, to enjoy the moment: to value this very day.

How often do we say to ourselves, "I'll take up horse-riding (or golf, or sailing) as soon as I get a higher position," only to do none of those things when I do get the higher position.

    When I first became a reporter, I knew a man who gave up a very well paid respectable job at the Daily Telegraph to go and edit a small weekly newspaper. At the time I was astonished by what appeared to me to be his completely abnormal (反常的) mental state. How could anyone turn his back on Fleet Street in central London for a small local area？I wanted to know.

Now I am a little older and possibly wiser, I see the sense in it. In Fleet Street the man was under continual pressure. He lived in an unattractive London suburb and he spent much of his life sitting on Southern Region trains.

（6）------中偏难题

       Most people feel lonely sometimes, but it usually only lasts a few minutes or 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．Psychologists （心理学家） are studying this phenomenon in an attempt to better understand long-term loneliness．These researchers have already identified 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, situational loneliness, is a natural result of a particular situation------for example, 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．Situational loneliness is easy to understand and to predict.

       The third kind of loneliness is the most severe．Unlike the second type, chronic （慢性的） loneliness usually lasts more than two years and has no specific cause．People who experience habitual loneliness have problems socializing．Unfortunately, many chronically lonely people think there is little or nothing they can do to improve their condition.

       Many researchers agree that the loneliest people are between the ages 18 and 25, so a group of psychologists decided to study a group of college students．They found that more than 50% of the students were situationally lonely at the beginning of the term as a result of their new circumstances, but had adjusted after a few months．Thirteen percent were still lonely after seven months due to shyness and fear．They felt very uncomfortable meeting strangers, even though they understood that their fear was not reasonable．The situationally lonely students overcame their loneliness by making new friends, but the chronically lonely remained unhappy because they were afraid to do so.

       Psychologists are trying to find ways to help habitually lonely people for two reasons．First of all, they are unhappy and unable to socialize．Secondly, researchers have found a connection between chronic loneliness and serious illnesses 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．The passage mainly talks about _______.

       A．the subjects of psychology      B．the study on loneliness

       C．the interests of psychologists   D．the treatment of loneliness

2．All of the following are true EXCEPT that _______.

       A．situational loneliness can cause physical problems

       B．temporary loneliness does not need special attention

       C．chronic loneliness can cause problems in socializing

       D．37% of the students can overcome loneliness easily

3．The underlined word “adjusted” in paragraph 4 means “________”.

       A．had no trouble understanding others      B．got used to the new situation  

C．changed themselves slightly            D．improved their health            

4．Psychologists want to help the habitually lonely people because _______.

       A．they are college students         

       B．they are sad and dangerous

       C．they intend to communicate with others       

       D．they may have mental and physical problems
