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 is 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 serious. Unlike the second type,chronic (长期的) 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 (心理学家) agree that one important factor in loneliness is a person's social contacts,
for example,friends,family members,coworkers,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 (名气).
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.

【题型说明】
该类文章内容涉及到人们的言谈举止、生活习惯、饮食起居、服饰仪表、恋爱婚姻、消遣娱乐、节日起源、家庭生活等。文章篇幅短小,追根溯源,探索各项风俗的历史渊源,内容有趣。命题也以送分题为主,如事实细节题、语义转换题、词义猜测题和简单推理判断题等。虽然这类文章读起来感觉轻松,试题做起来比较顺手,但绝不能掉以轻心。因为稍不留神,就会丢分。【备考提醒】
为了保证较高准确率,建议同学们做好以下几点:
1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现,越是容易的试题,同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢?因为在这种情况下,同学们极易产生麻痹思想,认为题目好做,就不引起高度重视,于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点,设计陷阱题。所以,无论试题难易与否,我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易,不欣喜;试题难,不悲观。
2、根据前面讲到的方法,认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。
3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义,确定多义词或短语在文中的意思,确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象,或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子,切不可望文生义。
4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提,以具体事实为依据进行推理,做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接,只要弄清事实,即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
