Feeling lonely can make you sick. Doctors have long known that loneliness can cause many health problems and even death. What they didn’t know is   16  this feeling causes illness. A study in the online magazine Genome Biology  17  that loneliness actually influences the important part of our bodies—our genes.
In a small population of patients, researchers   18  more than 20,000 genes to compare how the genes of lonely and non-lonely individuals (个体) express themselves in molecular processes (分子过程) and in personal health. They found that gene expression is   19  in chronically (长期地) lonely people. “We now have a new way for understanding the relationship   20   social experience and physical health,” explains the study’s lead author, Steve Cole of University of California, Los Angeles.
“This study—the first to link (联系)   21  with gene changes—is special and exciting,” says Emma Adam, a professor of human development at Northwestern University. “It   22  in the black box.”
According to John Cacioppo, an author of the study from the University of Chicago, the
work suggests that loneliness is a warning   23 , much like physical pain. “This feeling is so bad because   24  of us wants to be forgotten; that’ s also what human means,” he says. “It makes us   25  for other people and want to be with friends when we’re lonely.”

I sat down to read under an old tree in the park. I felt my life was   21 , for my whole world was dark.
A young boy ran up to me, out of   22 . He stood right before me with his head down and said   23 , “Look what I found!” In his hand was a flower, and what a poor sight! The flower was dry and   24 . I gave him a small smile and then turned my eyes aways so that he could take his dry flower and go off to play.
  25 , he sat next to my side and placed the flower to his   26  and said in surprise, “It smells sweet and it’s beautiful, too. That’s   27  I picked it. Here, it’s for you.” The flower before me was dead. But I knew I must   28  it, or he might never leave. So I accepted the flower, and replied, “This is just what I   29 .” Just then, for the first time I noticed that the boy could not   30  —he was blind.
Tears (眼泪) came down my face as I   31  him for picking the best one. “You’re welcome.” he smiled, and then ran off to   32 . I sat there and wondered how he was able to learn about my pain (痛苦).
Through the eyes of a blind child,   33  I could see the problem was not with the world; the problem was me. And for all those years I myself had been   34 . I decided to see the beauty in life, and   35  every second of my life. And then I held that dry flower up to my nose and breathed in the smell of a beautiful rose.
