its a scary story，” warned jack.“of course！” cried out tom.“if there were anything to be scared of，you wouldnt have chosen this place！”“ok，but dont say i didnt warn you，” said jack，and he began his tale.“way back in time，a man called dennis tried to start a farm here.he built that cottage over there to live in.in those days，the area looked quite differentit was covered with tall trees and the swamp was a crystalclear river.after three hard years，dennis had cleared several fields and planted crops.he was so proud of his success that he refused to listen to advice.”“you are clearing too much land， warned one old man.the land is a living thing.it will hit back at you if you abuse it.”“silly fool， said dennis to himself.if i clear more land，i can grow more crops.ill become wealthier.hes just jealous！”“dennis continued to chop down trees.small animals that relied on them for food and shelter were destroyed.he was so eager to expand his farm that he did not notice the river flowing slowly towards his door.he did not notice salt seeping to the surface of the land.he did not notice swamp plants choking all the native plants.”“what happened？” martin asked.it was growing colder.he trembled，twisting his body closer to the fire.“the land hit backjust as the old man warned，” jack shrugged.“dennis disappeared.old folks around here believe that swamp plants moved up from the river and dragged him underwater.his body was never found.”“what a stupid story，” laughed tom.“plants cant.” before he had finished speaking，he screamed and fainted(晕倒)the other two boys jumped up with fright，staring at tom.suddenly，they burst out laughing.some green swamp ivy(常春藤) had covered toms face.it was a while before tom could appreciate the joke.1the underlined word “dare” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _.acourage bassistancecinstruction dchallenge2why did jack tell tom and martin the story?ato frighten them.bto satisfy their curiosity.cto warn them of the danger of the place.dto persuade them to camp in the swamp.3why did dennis ignore the warning of the old man?athe old man envied him.bthe old man was foolish.che was too busy to listen to others.dhe was greedy for more crops.4why did tom scream and faint?ahe saw denniss shadow.bhe was scared by a plant.chis friends played a joke on him.dthe weather became extremely cold.5what lesson can we learn from the story of dennis?agrasp all，lose all.bno sweat，no sweet.cit is no use crying over spilt milk.dhe who makes no mistakes makes nothing.bmost 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 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 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.unfortunately，many chronically lonely people think there is little or nothing they can do to improve their condition.psychologists(心理学家)agree that one important factor in loneliness is a persons social contacts，for example，friends，family members，coworkers，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.6how would you treat temporary loneliness according to the passage?aby talking to friends.bjust by ignoring it.cby going to see a doctor.dby asking your teachers for guidance.7the underlined word “it” in the last sentence of the second paragraph refers to “_”atemporary lonelinessbsituational lonelinessca new placedsleeplessness8why do psychologists want to help chronic
