21、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 is situation, for example, family problem, the death of 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 serious. 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. However, 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 such as heart disease, while temporary and situational loneliness can be a sad, and sometimes dangerous condition.
【1】 How would you treat temporary loneliness according to the passage? ________.
A. Just ignore it
B. Talk to friends
C. Go to see a doctor
D. Ask your teachers for guidance
【2】Why do psychologists want to help chronically lonely people? ________
A. Chronic loneliness can cause family problems.
B. Chronic loneliness can not be overcome.
C. Chronic loneliness can cause serious illness.
D. Chronic loneliness is incurable.
【3】Loneliness is divided according to _____.
A. different seasons when it appears
B. different people it happens to
C. the time it lasts
D. the places where it appears
【4】What is the best title for the passage? ________
A. Loneliness and diseases
B. Three kinds of loneliness
C. Loneliness and social contacts
D. Chronic loneliness

23、Imagine a small group of people with a shared passion for the same craft. They all have different skills and approaches, but they come together to share skills, share stories, and share in the joy of making something.
Modern maker culture is filling headlines and lab spaces all over the world. The way makers communicate with each other has changed over time. In the past, skills mainly came from personal sit-downs with members of the group. But sometimes a teacher wasn’t available, or the one available didn' t know how to do the skill others wanted to learn.
Today a teacher doesn' t even have to be in the same country or occupy the same decade as the students. Thanks to the work of people who take the time to break down and share the details of their craft, an interested individual can learn anything. Guides may range from videos to diagrams and text. Regardless of the media, maker resources are meant to be shared.
One of the features of the maker movement is the crossover between different interests. Perhaps a passion for cars and for leathercraft can result in a truly custom interior （定制的内饰）. Perhaps a love of knitting （编织）and robotics will result in a tiny ——but very mobile ——robotic furry cat.
And once you have started your creation, finding a community to share with is no longer limited to the people nearby. Modern makers have been sharing videos of their progress online for years, contributing greatly to the rapid spread of the maker movement. As different as the participants might be, they share enthusiasm, support, and a willingness to try.
Imagine making a ping-pong table together with your makers' team. One group builds the basic frame. Another group takes on the responsibility of painting. You knit the net. There is joy in just giving it a try. It will remind you of childhood creations. Whether you are an experienced programmer or just picking up a hammer for the first time, it is never a bad time to come up with an idea, try something, and share the results.
【1】How did makers communicate with each other in the past?
A．By meeting face to face.
B．By asking personal questions.
C．By visiting a teacher together.
D．By sitting together in a classroom.
【2】What does the underlined word " crossover" in Paragraph 4 mean?
A．Exchange.
B．Difference.
C．Combination.
D．Independence.
【3】What greatly speeds up the spread of modern maker culture?
A．The sharing of videos on the Internet.
B．The development of education.
C．The increasing willingness to share.
D．The increasing number of participants.
【4】Why does the author mention making a ping-pong table in the last paragraph?
A．To advise us to start small.
B．To inspire some creative ideas.
C．To stress the importance of childhood creations.
D．To encourage us to join in the maker movement.
