问题     Many people start relationships because of loneliness. Loneliness and being alone are not synonymous. Loneliness is a state of painful isolation, of feeling cut off from friends and family. Being alone, a state of solitude(独处), can be quite desirable most of the time, since it allows us to work, study, live, or reflect on the world around us. Solitude is usually a matter of choice: loneliness is not.
    Lonely people tend to spend a lot of time by themselves, eat dinner alone, spend weekends alone, and participate in few if any social activities. They are unlikely to date. Some lonely people report having many friends, but a closer look suggests that these " friendships" are shallow. Lonely people are unlikely to share confidences. Loneliness tends to peak during adolescence(青春期). This is when most young people begin to replace family ties with peer relationships. Loneliness is quite often connected with feelings of depression and with a feeling of being " sick at heart".
    Loneliness is even reported among some married people. In one of the recent studies, lonely wives tended to feel less liking and love for their partners and expressed less satisfaction with their married life. Lonely husbands reported less liking for their wives and less intimacy in their relationships.
Which of the following is discussed in Paragraph 2?

选项 A、What lonely people want in general.
B、How lonely people usually behave.
C、How loneliness usually gets started.
D、Why lonely people often feel depressed.

答案B

解析 归纳题。第二段中讲到lonely people常常独处,几乎不参加社会活动,约会的可能性也小。尽管有的lonely people有朋友,但友谊都不深。诸如此类的描述都是围绕lonely people的典型行为。因此本题答案为B。
