A At the beginning of my 8：00 a. m. class one Monday at UNLV, I cheerfully asked my students how their weekend had been. One young man said that his weekend had not been very good. The young man then began to ask me why I always seemed to be so cheerful. His question reminded me of something I'd read somewhere before: “Every morning when you get up, you have a choice about how you want to approach life that day.” I said to the young man，“I choose to be cheerful.” “Let me give you an example，”I continued. “Besides teaching here at UNLV, I also teach out at the community college in Henderson, about seventeen miles down the freeway from where I live. One day a few weeks ago I drove to Henderson. I left the freeway and turned onto College Drive. But just then my car died. I tried to start it again, but the engine wouldn't turn over. So I put my flashers on, took my books, and marched down the road to the college.” As soon as I got there, I called AAA(美协会) and asked them to send a tow truck(拖车). The secretary in the Provost's office asked me what had happened. „This is my lucky day，‟I replied, smiling. “„Your car breaks down and today is your lucky day？‟She was puzzled. „What do you mean？‟” “„I live seventeen miles from here.‟ I replied. „My car could have broken down anywhere along the freeway. It didn‟t. Instead, it broke down in the perfect place: off the freeway, within walking distance of here. I' m still able to teach my class, and I've been able to arrange for the tow truck to meet me after class. If my car was meant to break down today, it couldn't have been arranged in a more convenient fashion.‟” 21．According to the passage, if one wants to be cheerful he should________.

B． That was the author's lucky day because she liked walking. C． The author hoped that the car would break down often. D． The young man was not cheerful because he was poor at his lessons. 24．What would probably happen after the author told her story? A． The students would ask her to tell another story. B． The students would still wonder how to be cheerful. C． The students would be touched and try to be cheerful. D． The students would doubt whether the story was true. B 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, situational loneliness, is a natural result of a particular situation, for example, a 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) loneliness 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 own 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. While temporary and situational loneliness can be a normal, healthy part of life, chronic loneliness can be a very sad, and sometimes dangerous condition. 25. How would you treat temporary loneliness according to the passage? A. Talk to friends. B. Just ignore it. C. Go to see a doctor. D. Ask your teachers for guidance. 26. The topic of the 4th paragraph is that _____. A. one problem of loneliness is a person's social contacts B. we depend on various people for different reason C. lonely people don't have many social problems D. lonely people don't have many friends 27. Why do psychologists want to help chronically lonely people? A. Chronic loneliness can cause family problems. B. Chronic loneliness can cause serious illness. C. Chronic loneliness can not be overcome. D. A, B and C are all correct. 28. What is the best title for the passage? A. Three Kinds of Loneliness B. Loneliness and Diseases C. Loneliness and Social Contacts D. Chronic Loneliness C
