　　Do you often feel lonely? What do you do when you feel that way? Hide yourself away and spend your time reading, watching TV or walking around?

　　You might think that feeling lonely is just like feeling happy, sad or scared — that it’s just one of your various moods. That is true. However, if you let yourself be lonely for too long without dealing with it, you could be making a serious mistake.

　　Doctors have known for some time that feeling lonely is bad for the mind. It can lead to mental health problems such as depression, stress and reduce confidence. “Being lonely means not feeling connected or cared for, but it’s not about being mentally alone,” Lisa Jaremka, scientist from Ohio State University, US, told Live Science in January. And there’s growing evidence that not having friends is connected with physical illness as well.

　　In 2006, for example, scientists studied 2,800 women who had cancer. They found that those who had few friends or family were five times more likely to die of their disease than women with many social contacts. Also, even healthy people had a better chance of falling ill if they felt left out by others, according to the BBC.

　　The results have scientists thinking that loneliness might hurt the immune system(免疫系统), which protects the body from diseases.

　　Hoping to prove this theory, Jaremka and her research team put volunteers(志愿者) through a stress test. During the test, volunteers were asked to make an unprepared speech in front of a group of stony-faced people. The researchers found that volunteers who said they were lonely in their daily lives felt more stress during the test. And their blood samples showed that all the stress had managed to cause harmful changes to their immune system.

　　“Loneliness has been thought of in many ways as a chronic stressor(慢性增压器) — a socially painful situation that can last for quite a long time, ” explained Jaremka, who led the study.

　　The number of people suffering from loneliness is increasing all over the world. However, solving the problem is easier said than done. It won’t work to just “tell anyone to go out and find someone to love you”, said Jaremka. “We need to create support networks.”

　　24. If people feel lonely for a long time, ________.

　　A. they won’t feel happy anymore

　　B. they are more mentally harmed than physically

　　C. they are more likely to fall ill

　　D. they will find the feeling goes away by itself

　　25. What was the purpose of the stress test carried out by Jaremka’s team?

　　A. To find out how people fight diseases.

　　B. To see how people’s emotions change when they give unprepared speeches.

　　C. To find out the relationship between loneliness and stress.

　　D. To prove loneliness hurts people’s immune systems.

　　26. We can conclude from the article that ________.

　　A. loneliness has become the No. 1 killer in the world

　　B. much more work needs to be done to fight loneliness

　　C. loneliness is increasing due to advanced technologies

　　D. websites must be set up to help people deal with loneliness

　　C

　　When I was a kid, my siblings（兄弟姐妹） and I used to have ice cream for dessert. Every day, we would choose which ice cream flavor to have, whether to eat it in a cone or a bowl. Then we would happily wolf down our treat(款待) as fast as we could.

　　Once, though, when I was probably about 10 0r 11, our grandpa came to visit. Grandpa always had a unique view on things. On this particular occasion, my sister and I were making bets as to who could finish their ice cream first. With a smile, Grandpa said, "Why would you want to finish first? If you eat slowly, it will last longer. You should have a competition to see who can finish last." Even now, I always try to taste my ice cream, but of course this is about more than just dessert.

　　Too often, kids want to scramble（争夺） for more, whether it's more ice cream, more toys, or more friends. This habit persists into our adult years, and we end up constantly scrambling for more. We never develop the skill of appreciating what we have. If we learn to recognize this pattern and change it, we can raise our kids a little differently, giving them the tool of tasting their proverbial dessert, which could lead to a happier life for them.

　　What my grandpa taught me that day was really that if you take the opportunity to enjoy what's in front of you, the pleasure will last longer and be more rewarding than if you rush through life always trying to get the next treat. It's a lesson that, I think, has made my adult life happier, as well. These days, when I want something, I wait as long as I can before I allow myself to have it. Then, when I finally get it, I make sure to treasure it as long as possible, because I know that, no matter what it is, it will be gone all too soon.

　　27. The author's grandfather advised her sister and her to _

　　.

　　A. stop eating ice cream

　　B. learn something from their way of eating

　　C. stop the competition between them

　　D. eat ice cream as slowly as possible

　　28. Which of the following best describes the author's grandfather?

　　A. Humorous.

　　B. Wise.

　　C. Strict.

　　D. Careful.

　　29. What advice does the author give us in the passage?

　　A. Value what you have.

　　B. Keep longing for more.

　　C. Have a balanced diet.

　　D. Save for the future.

　　30. We can infer from the last paragraph that author

　　A. benefits a lot from her grandfather's advice

　　B. doesn't like ice cream as much as before

　　C. just starts to understand her grandfather

　　D. longs for the days when they ate ice cream

　　Hi, worried,

　　I am sorry to know that you are having such a bad time at the moment. The truth is everyone will have one of those periods when things seem to be wrong, so you don’t have to worry so much. The important thing is to learn to control your temper so that you may not do or say anything you will regret. Here are three useful tips.

　　First, talk to someone you trust about how you feel. This is a good way of letting your anger out without hurting others or yourself. Second, go outdoors and play team games with your friends. And third, remain optimistic about your future.

　　I hope you will soon feel calmer and carry on as normal.

　　Yours,

　　Jamie
