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. 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, 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（the opposite of
“temporary”）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, for example,
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 as heart disease, while temporary and situational loneliness can be a sad, and sometimes dangerous condition.

Five Happiness Secrets For Tough Times
Sonja Lyubomirsky, an author, has researched the science of happiness for years.
Here are her tips to help you cope with a bad economy, and increase your bursts
of happiness throughout the day.
61. ________
“You could spend a lot of time thinking deeply,” says Lyubomirsky. “But that
just makes you feel even more pessimistic, more out of control, and effects your self
esteem. Your relationships will suffer and your job performance will suffer.”
Get rid of pessimism. One of the most effective ways to cope when things are
difficult is to adopt a positive thinking strategy. “What can I learn from this? Times
are tough, I’ve been furloughed at work, but I can spend more time with the kids,
adopt a new hobby, or learn a new set of skills.”
62. ________
Now more than ever we need each other to survive. Lyubomirsky found that doing
good things for friends, family, or strangers can make you happier. Think of practical,
everyday gestures that can make someone’s life a little bit easier. For example,
Lyubomirsky says, “Maybe now many of us can’t afford to take a cab to the airport, so
offer to give a friend a ride.”
63. ________
You don’t need an expert to tell you that relationships are critical to happiness.
Not being the bread-winner anymore or not being able to fulfill your kid’s needs can
weighh down hard on your family life. But the trick is to stop feeling guilty and focus
on caring for your loved ones.
“I was at a psychology conference where an expert was talking about the effects
of this economy on families and how parents can’t afford to buy their kids luxuries
like toys anymore,” says Lyubomirsky. “But what they don’t realize is that kids don’t
care about toys — what they care about is parents being grumpy and taking it out on
them.”
64. ________
“If you find a happy person you will find a project,” says Lyubomirsky. “Happy
people all have goals they care about.”
Commit yourself to a project – whether it is a business you want to start or a dance
you want to learn. But it’s also important to remember to be flexible in these times.
Don’t get frustrated if circumstances are stopping you from meeting your goals. Adopt
and change!
“If your spouse has lost their job you might have to change your goal,” says
Lyubomirsky. “Or you might have to learn a whole new skill for a new job.”
65. ________
When times are tough, it’s easy to get skip your regular workouts in favor of moping
in front of the TV and eating a bag of chips. Your thinking is “I have more important
things to worry about right now than looking good.”
But carve out a small part of your day to give your body some TLC. It will go a
long way in boosting your happiness. “Even if you can’t afford to go to the gym,”
Lyubomirsky says, “take time out to exercise at home.”
You don"t need an expert to tell your that relationships are critical to happiness. Not
being the bread-winner anymore or not being able to fulfill your kid"s needs can weigh
down hard on your family life. But the trick is to stop feeling guilty and focus on
bringing up your loved ones.

请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。注意：每空1个单词。
A big part of being an effective team member is being a good listener, so listening carefully is very important. Do you think your listening skills need improving? Simply remember the ladder to become a better listener.
Look at the person who is speaking to you. If you make eye contact, the speaker feels like he has your undivided attention. If an individual comes into your office to talk, stop what you are doing. When you continue typing or staring at your computer screen, the person talking to you feels insignificant.
Ask questions. This shows you’re interested and that you are hearing what he is saying.
Don’t interrupt. When you interrupt, the speaker feels you’re not interested in what he is saying and will be frustrated(沮丧的) by the inability to finish a complete thought. Take the time to listen---just relax and open your ears!
Don’t change the subject. Changing the subject indicates that your mind is elsewhere. It shows you’re not concentrating on what’s being said at that moment, and this makes the speaker feel uncomfortable. If you change the subject, the speaker could also get the impression that you’re avoiding the topic and may be hesitant to bring it up again.
Empathize(有同感). When someone shares information with you, put yourself in his shoes. Doing this will allow the two of you to discover solutions more easily and will also help you appreciate a perspective(观点) different from you own.
Respond verbally(口头地) and non-verbally. Using an enthusiastic tone shows you’re interested in what the speaker is saying. Smiling helps too! Avoid crossing your arms since this can be interpreted(解释) as being closed off. If you’re speaking with someone who’s sitting, you should sit too. Standing over someone is too official and may make the other person feel uncomfortable.
If you are unsure whether you are a good listener or not, simply take the following test. In your next meeting or conversation, make a mental note, even better, write down on a piece of paper the number of times you interrupt. The fewer marks there are on your paper, the better listener you are! This seems like a silly test, but you may be surprised by the quantity of marks on your paper. After all, the worst listeners usually aren’t aware that their listening skills need some attention or improvement.
