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 yeas. 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 of a particular 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（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 agree that one important factor 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 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 such as heart disease.

Many people find that regular physical activity gives them an unexpected benefit. They sleep better and wake up feeling more 61, in part due to increased amounts of deep sleep. Deep sleep may play a role in the body restoring(恢复) itself 62, as opposed to REM(rapid eye movement) or dreaming sleep. Researchers have found that physical exercise, especially 63 in the afternoon or early evening, produces more 64 early in the night.

65 can also help you get a better night‘s sleep in a number of indirect ways. The relaxation and tiredness 66 by exercise can improve sleep.

Exercise encourages weight loss and also may 67 depression. Exercising later in the day can also help delay the 68 drop in your body‘s temperature.

V. Reading Comprehension

Directions: Read the following passages. Each passage is followed by several

questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A)

One evening after dinner, Mr. and Mrs. Tisich called a family meeting. ―We‘ve had to make a difficult decision,‖ Mr. Tisich announced. ―You see, your mother has been offered a post as co-director of a television station in Chicago. Unfortunately, the station is not here. After thinking long and hard about it, we‘ve concluded that the right decision is to move to Chicago.‖

Marc looked shocked, while his sister Rachel breathlessly started asking when they‘d be moving. ―It‘s surprising, but exciting!‖ she said. Marc simply said, ―We can‘t go—I can‘t leave all my friends. I‘d rather stay here and live with Tommy Lyons!‖ The Tisichs hoped that by the time they moved in August, Marc would grow more accustomed to the idea of leaving. However, he showed no signs of accepting the news, refusing to pack his belongings.

When the morning of the move arrived, Marc was nowhere to be found. His parents called Tommy Lyon‘s house, but Mrs. Lyons said she hadn‘t seen Marc. Mrs. Tisich became increasingly concerned, while her husband felt angry with their son for behaving so irresponsibly.

What they didn‘t know was that Marc had started walking over to Tommy‘s house, with a faint idea of hiding in Lyons‘s attic(阁楼) for a few days. But something happened on the way as Marc walked past all the familiar landscape of the

neighborhood: the fence that he and his mother painted, the tree that he and his sister used to climb, the park where he and his father often took evening walks together. How much would these mean without his family, who make them special in the first place? Marc didn‘t take the time to answer that question but instead hurried back to his house, wondering if there were any moving cartons(纸板箱)the right size to hold his record collection.

71. The conflict in this story was caused by___________. A. Marc and Rachel‘s different tempers

B. a quarrel between Tommy Lyons and Marc

C. Marc‘s disagreement with his parents about their move D. Mr. and Mrs. Tisich‘s remark of Marc‘s irresponsibility

72. Marc and Rachel‘s reactions to the move were similar in the way that both were____________

A. surprised B. angry and upset

C. anxious for more details D. worried about packing
