【推荐1】New Ways to Deal with Loneliness（孤独）

Friends are important in our life, because no one wants to be lonely. However, some people have difficulty in making friends and they often feel lonely.     1     According to a new study from Chicago University, the reason is that this kind of people have brains（脑）different from common people. And they often feel unsafe when facing strangers.

Does that mean they have no way to become happy again?     2    

Scientists of this study have thought up ways to help these people deal with their loneliness. They provided four steps for getting out of loneliness.

    3     “It’s not enough for people just to get in touch with others online. That’s because most people don’t show them true themselves there,” said Dr. Cacioppo, one of this study’s scientists. Another step is to get an action plan. As “Actions speak louder than words”, people need to be active to communicate（交流）with others.     4     They should try to expect the best from each interesting activity, too.

    5    Who knows what good things are waiting for us?

B．After all, tomorrow is another day.

C．What’s the reason behind that?

D．They also need to meet people with the same interests.

【推荐3】阅读文章，回答下列小题。
       Reading should be part of your life. But the problem is that there’s too much to read these days and too little time to read every word of it. There are hundreds of skills to help you read more quickly. Here are two skills that I think are very good.
       Preview—if it’s long and hard. Previewing is very useful for getting a general (总的) idea of heavy reading like long magazine articles and reports. You can read the first two paragraphs and the last two paragraphs carefully, and then you can only read the first sentence of the other paragraphs (段落).
       Skim—if it’s short and easy. Skimming is a good way to get a general idea of light reading like popular magazines or the sports, stars and movies of your daily paper.
       While skimming, get your eyes to move fast and sweep them across each line. You can pick up only a few key words in each line. Everybody skims differently. You and I may not pick up the same words when we skim the same news, but usually we won’t get very different ideas of what it is all about.
