　　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, situation－for example, 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(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．Unfortunately, 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 as heart disease, while temporary and situational loneliness can be a sad, and sometimes dangerous condition．

　　Teaching kids to fish sometimes puzzles us parents．Now I’d like to give you a few tips．

　　First of all, start them young．

　　Get them in a boat, or on a pier, or on the bank at as young an age as you possibly can．Obviously this means being extremely conscious about their safety．Whatever you do, DON’T plan on any fishing yourself．If fishing is going to happen, the fishing will be done by the kids with your help!This lets you pay attention to them and not ignore them while you fish．

　　Next, make sure you plan the first trips to someplace where you can actually catch a lot of fish．At this point, it doesn’t matter what kind or how big, just make sure they can catch some．A small child’s patience is very short, and waiting 30 minutes for a bite will turn them off in a hurry．You may need to go to a small pond where the fish are dying to eat bread balls．Any type of fish will do．Remember, this is for them, not for you．

　　As they fish, cheer for every fish they catch．Make a really big deal out of it．Take pictures．And if it’s possible, take some home to clean．Let the child help you clean with a table knife, so he can’t get hurt．

　　Make sure he makes and sees the connection from catching to cleaning to cooking．As soon as you have the fish cleaned, it’s into the kitchen to start cooking．Let him flour and cornmeal the fish．Let him see the fish cooking, and talk about how good they are．Then when it’s ready, make sure you brag on the fact that he (or she)caught these fish, and“aren’t they good?”

　　In this way, I’m sure your kids will be interested in fishing and good at fishing．

　　The local university blood center had a blood drive today at the Civic Center auditorium．Almost 300 people showed up, but about 50 were turned away for various medical reasons．Fifty others left because the lines were moving so slowly．The event concluded at 6 pm, three hours after the scheduled close．It was a long day for everyone-administrators, nurses, and donors．But there were plenty of chairs and tables, and many people brought their own books, magazines, or newspapers．

　　The first thing the donors had to do, of course , was fill out the donor registration and screening form．When they finished filling out the form, they waited until a nurse called them to her desk．The average adult body contains 8 to 12 pints of blood．Donors can give one pint at a time．It takes your body 2 to 4 weeks to replace this amount．Most donors filled up the pint bag within 5 to 10 minutes．

　　Before leaving, the donors received a sheet of instructions including：Do not lift any heavy objects for 12 hours．Leave your pressure bandage on for 2~3 hours．Do not smoke for at least 30 minutes．Avoid alcohol for the rest of the day．Do not do any laborious activity for 24 hours．

　　“I wish I could hug and kiss all the volunteers that are here today,”said Martha, the blood center donor recruiter．“Many donors underestimate the importance of what they’re doing．They think it is no big deal, but it is a big deal．Their blood is actually saving lives, helping other people to live, which will lead to a more harmonious society．We cannot thank them enough for that, nor can the recipients（接受者）．”

　　A survey(调查)has been made recently to make out what are the public opinions on the one-child policy．Here are some results of it．

　　Many teenagers suggest they should have a brother or sister．Perhaps they feel this might make up for a gap in their own lives．

　　Bao Yunlu, a Senior 2 boy from the No 8 Middle School in Hefei, Anhui Province, often dreams of having an elder sister．“I want her to help me with my homework, share my feelings and take care of me,”he said．

　　But last week Li Honggui, head of the China Family Planning Association(CFPA), sparked(引发)a hot discussion when he told newspapers there would be no change to the current one-child policy．It will remain the provincial governments’ right to decide on individual cases(个案)．

　　The one-child policy began in 1978．Now China has nearly 100 million single child families, one-third of the total．The policy has successfully slowed down Chinese population growth by 10 million babies a year．But there are problems．

　　As the centre of the family’s attention they do not know about the hardships of life．“The one-child generation has no idea of thrift(节俭),”said Xing Yuan, professor of sociology at Shanxi University．Some of them also don’t know how to get on well with others．

　　Bao agreed that being an only child has had an effect on his personality．“We are less tolerant(宽容)and considerate than our schoolmates who have brothers or sisters,”he said．

　　But others don’t agree．“I don’t feel the difference between me and my classmates who have a brother or sister．They often complain to me about quarrelling with their brothers or sisters．I feel lucky to have nobody to steal my belongings,”said Bai Yijing, a Senior 1 girl from the Middle School Attached to Beijing Petroleum Institute．(from www.nmet168.com)
