One young man said that hi

2、s weekend had not been very good. The young man then began to ask me why I always seemed to be so cheerful.His question reminded me of something Id read somewhere before: “Every morning when you get up, you have a choice about how you want to approach life that day.” I said to the young man，“I choos

3、e to be cheerful.”“Let me give you an example，”I continued. “Besides teaching here at UNLV, I also teach out at the community college in Henderson, about seventeen miles down the freeway from where I live. One day a few weeks ago I drove to Henderson. I left the freeway and turned onto College Drive

4、. But just then my car died. I tried to start it again, but the engine wouldnt turn over. So I put my flashers on, took my books, and marched down the road to the college.”As soon as I got there, I called AAA(美协会) and asked them to send a tow truck(拖车). The secretary in the Provosts office asked me

5、what had happened. This is my lucky day，I replied, smiling.“Your car breaks down and today is your lucky day？She was puzzled. What do you mean？”“I live seventeen miles from here. I replied. My car could have broken down anywhere along the freeway. It didnt. Instead, it broke down in the perfect plac

6、e: off the freeway, within walking distance of here. I m still able to teach my class, and Ive been able to arrange for the tow truck to meet me after class.

10、asts 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 comm

11、on 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 ph

12、ysical problems, such as headaches and sleeplessness, it usually does not last formore 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

13、 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 persons social contacts, e. g., friends, family members, co

14、-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

15、 contacts, they sometimes feel they should have more. They question their own 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

16、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. 25.
