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 loneliness comes in three different types.
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 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 (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(心理学家) 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 family give us emotional support,our parents and teachers give us guidance, and our fiends 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 arid 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.

根据短文内容,从短文的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。
Every boy and every girl expects their parents to give them pocket money. Why do their parents just give them a certain amount? 1
The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish differs from family to family. 2Some children get weekly pocket money. Others get monthly pocket money.
First of all, children are expected to make a choice between spending and saving. Then parents should make the children understand what is expected to pay for with the money. At first, some young children may spend all of the money soon after they receive it. Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until it is the right time. 3
In order to encourage their children to do some housework, some parents give pocket money if the children help around the home. Some experts think it not wise to pay the children for doing that. 4
Pocket money can give children a chance to experience three things they can do with the money. They can spend it by giving it to a good excuse. They can spend it by buying things they want. 5Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice(牺牲). Saving can also open the door to future saving and investing(投资)for children.

A.They can save it for future use.
B.Timing is another consideration(考虑).
C.As helping at home is a normal part of family life.
D.Some children are not good at managing the pocket money.

E.Learning how to get money is important for children.
F.One purpose(目的)is to let kids learn how to manage their own money.
G.By doing so, these children will learn that spending must be done with a budget

Too much TV watching can harm children's ability to learn and even reduce their chances of getting a college degree, new studies suggest in the latest effort to examine the effects of television on children.
One of the studies looked at nearly 400 northern California third-graders. Those with TVs in their bedrooms scored about eight points lower on math and language arts tests than children without bedroom TVs.
A second study, looking at nearly 1000 grown-ups in New Zealand, found lower education levels among 26-year-olds who had watched lots of TV during childhood. But the results don't prove that TV is the cause and don't rule out that already poorly motivated youngsters(年轻人)may watch lots of TV.
Their study measured the TV habits of 26-year-olds between ages 5 and 15. Those with college degrees had watched an average(平均)of less than two hours of TV per weeknight during childhood, compared with an average of more than 2 1/2 hours for those who had no education beyond high school.
In the California study, children with TVs in their rooms but no computer at home scored(得分)the lowest while those with no bedroom TV but who had home computers scored the highest.
While this study does not prove that bedroom TV sets caused the lower scores, it adds to findings that children shouldn't have TVs in their bedrooms.
According to the California study, the low-scoring group might

A.have watched a lot of TV
B.not be interested in math
C.be unable to go to college
D.have had computers in their bedrooms

What is the researchers' understanding of the New Zealand study results?

A.Poorly motivated 26-year-old watch more TV.
B.Habits of TV watching reduce learning interest.
C.TV watching leads to lower education levels of the 15-year-olds.
D.The connection between TV and education levels is difficult to explain

What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?

A.More time should be spent on computers.
B.Children should be forbidden from watching TV.
C.TV sets shouldn't be allowed in children's bedrooms.
D.Further studies on high-achieving students should be done.

What would be the best title for this text?

A.Computers or Television
B.Effects of Television on Children
C.Studies on TV and College Education
D.Television and Children's Learning Habit

It was the first snow of winter—an exciting day for every child but not for most teachers. Up until now, I had been old enough to dress myself, but today I would need some help.Miss Finlayson, my kindergarten teacher, had been through first snow days many times, but I think she must still remember this one.
I managed to get into my wool snow trousers. But I struggled on my jacket because it didn't fit well.It was a hand-me-down from my brother, and it made me wonder why I had to wear his ugly clothes. At least my hat and scarf were mine, and they were quite pretty. Finally it was time to have Miss Finlayson help me with my boots(靴子).
In her calm, motherly voice she said, "By the end of winter, you will all be able to put on your own boots.” I didn't realize at time that this was more a statement of hope than of confidence(信心).
I handed her my boots and stuck out my foot. Like most children, I expected grown-ups to do all the work. After much pushing, she managed to get the first one into place and then, with a sigh(叹气)worked the second one on too.
I said, "They're on the wrong feet.”
She struggled to get the boots off and went through the joyless task of putting them on again.
"They're my brother's boots, you know," I said. "I hate them".
Somehow, from long years of practice, she managed to act as though I wasn't an annoying(烦人的)little girl. She pushed and pushed, gently this time. With a greater sigh, seeing the end of her struggle with me,she asked, "Now, where are your mittens(连指手套)?’’
I looked into her eyes and said, "I didn't want to lose them, so I hid them in the toes of my boots.”
The little girl was more satisfied with her_.

A.trousers B.jacket C.boots D.hat

Miss Fmlayson had difficulty with the girl's boots mainly because_.

A.the girl got them from her brother
