题型：不详难度：来源：

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. Psychologists are studying this complex phenomenon in an attempt to better understand long-term loneliness. These researchers have already identified 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 divorce, the death of a loved once, 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. Situational loneliness is easy to understand and to predict.
The third kind of loneliness is the most severe. Unlike the second type, chronic 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.

答案

The passage states three types of loneliness---temporary, situational and chronic loneliness, among which temporary loneliness is the most common one, situational loneliness results from a certain situation and chronic loneliness is the most serious one.
When I was nine years old, I moved to Beijing with my parents, where I found it hard for me to adapt myself to the new surroundings. I didn’t get along well with my new fellow students because of my shyness and fear and I even didn’t want to talk to anybody. Never had I felt so lonely before.
Later, I found it easy to get rid of loneliness. Firstly, you can keep a diary, which can make you understand your feelings better so that you will have a good mood in your work and studies. Secondly, you can talk to somebody who can give you some useful advice on your physical and mental development. Last but not least, you should have an optimistic attitude towards what you are engaged in and be active to solve the problems ahead of you. Try your best and take it easy, and you are bound to overcome your loneliness.
