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. While temporary and situational loneliness can be normal, healthy part of life, chronic loneliness can be a sad, and sometimes dangerous condition.

You are one of the most familiar faces in class, not because you are funny or have great note-taking abilities but because you ask the most number of questions.   76    It is important to ask the right questions, though. Here are a few tips for improving your questioning skills:

Be clear and precise about what you want to know.

Be clear about what you want to know and frame your question accordingly.   77     If you beat around the bush, your teachers won’t be entirely sure what it is that you haven’t understood, or need an explanation for.

78    

If you are uncertain about a particular subject, clarify it when it is being discussed. Because questions often open up new avenues within a subject. Doing this would benefit the whole class.

Do not hesitate to talk to your teacher after class.

79     Therefore, if you feel uncomfortable about asking a question in front of your classmates, wait till the class is over. This will probably put you more at ease.

Write down your questions.

80     They may appear when you’re studying, reading or taking notes. Note them down on a piece of paper so that you won’t forget to ask them later. This can also make sure that you don’t have any unanswered questions when the exam approaches.

A．Do not ask more questions.

B．Questions may crop up（出现）at any time.

C．Being curious is not a bad quality.

D．You may think this is good.

E. Ask questions relevant to context.

F. A question needs to be easy to be understood and to-the-point.

G. One-to-one interations（互动） are always much better than one-to-many.
