Passage A
Sometimes most people feel lonely, but it 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. However, sometimes 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 severs. 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 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.

A. Talk to friends.              B. Just ignore it.

  A. temporary loneliness        B. situational loneliness

  A. one problem of loneliness is a person’s social contacts
  B. we depend on various people for different reasons
  C. lonely people don’t have many social problems
  D. lonely people don’t have many friends
19. 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.

Passage B
I had just gone to bed after a very hard day when the phone rang. It was an eccentric (怪僻的)farmer. I had never met him before although I had often heard people talk about him. He sounded quite nervous and he had been talking for a minute or so before I understood anything. Even then all I could make out was that someone called Milly had a very bad accident. I hadn't the slightest idea who she was but I obviously had to go.
It had been snowing heavily that day and I didn't know the way. I had been driving for at least an hour when I finally found his place. He was standing there, waiting for me. It seemed Milly had died. “She meant more to me than anyone…even my own wife!” he said. I could see that he had been crying. I thought something terrible had taken place, a possible scandal. I was even more shocked when he told me he had put her in the barn. “I wouldn't leave her out in the cold!” he said.
Milly had clearly been a secret lover of his. I was about to tell him he could not expect me to cover anything up when he opened the barn door. He lifted his candle and I saw a dark figure on the ground. “She was such a good cow! I wouldn't let anyone but a doctor touch her!” he said, and burst into tears again.
