Most people feel lonely sometimes, but it usually only lasts between a few minutes and a few hours. 1. In fact, it is quite normal. For some people, though, loneliness can last for years. Psychologists are studying this complex phenomenon, and have 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, situation-for example, family problem, the death of a loved one, or moving to a new place. 2.

The third kind of loneliness is the most severe. Unlike the others, chronic (the opposite of "temporary")usually lasts more than two years and has no specific cause. 3. 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.4..

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. 5.

A. It is very difficult to deal with.

B. What's more, temporary and situational loneliness can be a sad, and sometimes dangerous condition.

C. Although it can cause physical problems? such as headaches and sleeplessness, it usually does not last for more than a year.

D. This kind of loneliness is not serious.

E. They don' t think they are in need of them.

F. People who experience it have problems socializing and becoming close to others.

G. They question their popularity.

It is amazing to note that the Internet is still such a new device,and yet it is one of the fastest and most powerful media tools. But think about it for a moment. On the Internet, a big online company can be run by only two guys in their garage. So it is only reasonable then, that people shopping online would be a little leery of the security levels.

Internet giants such as Microsoft knew consumer confidence was the key to getting virtual shopping off the ground, and they work hard to make people feel safe to shop online.

Credit card companies, too, quickly saw the potential for online shopping, and have installed things like online shopping insurance for people. If you ever have a problem with your online credit purchases, many credit card companies will happily refund your money and then set their claws on the company that wronged you. Now that’s buying power!

There are other bonuses for online shoppers, of course. No line-ups, for one. No annoying mall shopping carts with broken wheels and kids crying because their parents won’t get them what they want.

When shopping online, consumers can sit down, have a coffee, and wear their slippers, not having to worry about their hair or parking, and just clicking through sale after sale. Comparison shopping couldn’t be any easier. And thanks to courier companies(快遞公司)getting in on the act, you never need to wait longer than a day or two to get those all important purchases delivered right to your door.

No wonder so many companies are shaking their heads at traditional advertising and instead looking to the “virtual” world to attract online shoppers.

1.The underlined word leery means _________.

A. distrustful B. confident

C. hopeful D. disappointed

2.Consumer confidence in online shopping mainly relies on _________.

A. shopping freedom B. shopping convenience

C. Internet access D. Shopping security

3.Which groups of words would the writer use to describe current online shopping?

A. Adventurous, enjoyable, fast, unreal

B. Unsafe, cheap, slow, convenient

C. Safe, convenient, fast, comfortable

D. Reliable, popular, convenient, slow

4.The following companies are thought to have made contributions to the popularity of online shopping EXCEPT ________.

A. Internet companies

B. advertising companies

C. courier companies

D. credit card companies

How to Make Friends

Friendship is a very important human relationship and everyone needs good friends. Good friendship has many benefits. It offers companionship, improves self-worth and promotes (促進(jìn)) good health. There are times in our lives such as when we have recently moved into a new town, or changed our jobs or schools. Such changes often leave us without a friend. 1.. But for many of us the process is difficult and requires courage. Below are some helpful suggestions on how to make and keep friends.

● Associate with (與……交往) others.

The first step to making friends is associating with other people. You can go to public places to meet new people. Besides, you will need to make yourself known by becoming an active member of such places.

Starting a conversation is the second most important step in making new friends. 2. You can always start the conversation. Being able to make small talk is a very useful skill in relating with other people.

●3.

Choosing friends with common interests is important in building friendship as these interests would always bring you and your friend together. Hanging out (閑逛) will always be a pleasant experience.

Have you ever considered why you begin yawning too when you see someone yawn? Or how hard it is to be among people laughing and not laugh yourself? Well, apparently it's because we have mirror neurons (神經(jīng)元)in our brains.

Put simply, the existence of mirror neurons suggests that every time we see someone else do something, our brains imitate it whether or not we actually perform the same action. This explains a great deal about how, we learn to smile, talk, walk, dance or play sports. But the idea goes further: mirror neurons not only appear to explain physical actions, they also tell us that there is a biological basis for the way we understand other people.

Mirror neurons can undoubtedly be found all over our brains, but especially in the areas which relate to our ability to use languages, and to understand how other people feel. Researchers have found that mirror neurons relate strongly to language. A group of researchers discovered that if they gave people sentences to listen to ( for example: “The hand took hold of the ball” ) , the same mirror neurons were triggered as when the action was actually performed (in this example, actually taking hold of a ball).

Any problems with mirror neurons may well result in problems with behavior. Much research suggests that people with social and behavioral problems have mirror neurons which are not fully functioning. However, it is not yet known exactly how these discoveries might help find treatments for social disorders.

Research into mirror neurons seems to provide us with even more information regarding how humans behave and interact. Indeed, it may turn out to be the equivalent (相等物)for neuroscience of what Einstein's theory of relativity was for physics. And the next time you feel the urge to cough in the cinema when someone else does — well, perhaps you'll understand why.

1.Mirror neurons can explain _____

A. why we smile when we see someone else smile

B. why we yawn when we see someone else stay up late

C. why we cry when we are hurt

D. why we cough when we suffer from a cold

2.The underlined word "triggered" in the third paragraph probably means “_____’’.

A. built up B. broken up

C. set off D. cut off

3.We can learn from the passage that mirror neurons _____.

A. determine our knowledge and language abilities

B. control human physical actions and feelings

C. result in bad behavior and social disorders

D. relate to human behavior and interaction

4.What is the passage mainly about?

A. Ways to find mirror neurons.

B. Problems of mirror neurons.

C. Functions of mirror neurons.

D. Existence of mirror neurons.
