They may seem to have lots of friends, but inside they are hurting. Are you lonely? If your answer is "yes", you may need to work hard enough! Here are some tips to think about: To be wanted and needed is a big answer to loneliness. Is there any way you can help other people? Try to do something helpful for others even if you are very busy. By helping other people, we find friends and lose loneliness. Do you have an interest or hobby? Find a group of people with this interest and join them. Live in the real world! The world on the Internet is not a real world and it is very different from the real life. The students asleep in class are mostly those who often surf the net through the night. As a result, they'll get lost in the real world. Don't wait for someone to phone, or write, or email you, you call them. And if they seem too busy, it doesn't mean you are not welcome. Try another time! When you've done anything wrong to other people, don't be too proud to say sorry. You must do that even if you find it hard to open your mouth. Question: If you don't want to be lonely, you should _ . - never help others - find some people with the same interest and join them - surf the net all the time - wait for someone to call you

Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: An excerpt from The Card Edward Henry Machin first saw daylight on the 27thof May, 1867, in Brougham Street in Bursley, the oldest of the Five Towns. Brougham Street goes down a hill to the canal .The rent for one of these houses was not high -- only about twenty-two pence a week. Edward Henry's mother (his father was dead) lived by making and washing clothes for fine ladies. She did not often laugh. She was a woman of few words, and saved time every day by calling her son Denry, instead of Edward Henry. Denry did not work hard at school, and boys who were lazy and not very clever usually just found jobs in the potbanks. Luckily, at the age of twelve, he won a place at the best school in Bursley. It happened like this. On the second day of the examination, Denry arrived a little early. As he walked around the examination room, he came to the teacher's desk, where he saw a list of names with marks for the first day of the examination. The highest possible mark was 30, but next to his name he saw the number 7. The numbers were written in pencil, and the pencil was on the desk. He picked it up, looked around the empty room, and at the door, and them wrote a 2 in front of the 7. Of course, this was not honest, but how many truly honest schoolboys are there? Denry was no worse than most of them. Question: What was Edward Henry's mother like? - Patient. - Dishonest. - Hard-working. - Kind.
(Answer)
Hard-working.
