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 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 severe. 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 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 a normal, healthy part of life, chronic loneliness can be a very sad, and sometimes dangerous condition.

Dear Dr Bamford，

I know you are a famous scientist who has done great work on cloning animals，Please excuse me for writing to you，but I need your help.Let me explain.

I am a 58-year-old man. I'm very rich. I live in a large house. My wife died three years ago; we didn't have children.

So,am I lonely No,because Cindy is with me.Every night we eat dinner together and watch TV.Cindy sits beside me and I feel very happy.I’m fascinated (着迷的) with her beautiful green eyes.She's also very smart.Sometimes she thinks only about herself.But that's what I like about her.She is quite a beautiful Siamese cat.There is no other cat like her in the whole world.

These days I worry about losing Cindy.She is getting older and older.Cats don’t live so long as humans,of course,so she will die before I do.I cannot imagine my life without Cindy.

Well,why not get another cat after Cindy dies?Impossible!No other cat ever replace(替代)her.I have been thinking about this:Clone Cindy.Scientists are able to clone sheep and mice and other animals.

I have been thinking about this: Clone Cindy. Scientists are able to clone sheep and mice and other animals.They should be able to clone cats without much difficulty. Luckily, I am a rich man. I don't care how much money I will spend cloning Cindy. I think it's Ok to clone pets. It's not cloning humans.

What do you think? Could you clone Cindy?Looking forward to your early reply.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项 （A 、B 、C  和 D ）中，选出最佳选项。

    It is one of the most annoying words in the English language and it seems there is no escaping it．The word “huh?” is in worldwide use, a study found.

    Researchers discovered that languages spoken in countries from Ghana and Laos to Iceland and Italy all include “huh?”, or something that sounds very like it. They said that while the study may sound silly，the word is an absolutely necessary part of speech. Without it and similar words, it would be impossible to show that we haven't heard or understood what had been said and this would lead to constant misunderstandings.

    But while other words used in the same context, such as “sorry” or “what”, vary widely across languages, “huh?” remains unchanged.

    The Dutch researchers carefully studied ten languages from around the world, including Siwu, which is spoken in Ghana, and an Australian Aboriginal language, as well as Italian, Spanish, Dutch and Mandarin Chinese.

    They analysed tapes of recorded conversations for words that sounded like‘‘huh?”and were used to request that whatever had Just been said be repeated. All contained a version of “huh?” The word was also found in another 21 languages. While there were subtle differences in each country, all sounded basically the same.

    This is surprising because normally unrelated languages will use very different words to describe the same thing. For instance, the Japanese for “dog” is “inu”, while the French is “chien”. It is thought that languages around the world have developed their own version of “huh?” because the sound is quick and simple to form, as well as being easily understood.

    The researchers，said that it might seem unimportant to carry out scientific research into a word like “huh?” but in fact this little word is an essential tool in human communication．They also have an answer for those who claim that “huh?” isn't a word. They say that it qualifies because of the small differences in its pronunciation in different languages. It also can be considered a word because it's something we learn to say, rather than a grunt or cry that we are born knowing how to make.
