Loneliness is a curious thing. Most of us can remember feeling most lonely when we were not in
fact alone at all, but when we were surrounded by people. Everyone has experienced, at some time,
that utter sense of isolation that comes over you when you are at a party, in a room full of happy
laughing people, or in an audience at a theatre or a lecture. It suddenly seems to you as if everybody
knows everybody else, everybody is sure of himself, everybody knows what is going on; everybody,
that is, except you.
This feeling of loneliness which can overcome you when are in a crowd is very difficult to get rid
of. People living alone - divorced, widowed or single people - are advised to tackle their loneliness by
joining a club or society, by going out and meeting people. Does this really help? And what do you do
if you are already surrounded by people?

There are no easy solutions. Your first day at work, or at a new school or university, is a typical
situation in which you are likely to feel lonely. You feel lonely because you feel left out of things. You
feel that everybody else is full of confidence and knows what to do, but you are adrift and helpless.
The fact of the matter is that, in order to survive, we all put on a show of self-confidence to hide our
uncertainties and doubts. So it is wrong to assume that you are alone.
In a big city it is particularly easy to get the feeling that everybody except you is leading a full,
rich, busy life. Everybody is going somewhere, and you tend to assume that they are going somewhere
nice and interesting, where they can find life and fulfilment. You are also going somewhere, and there
is no reason at all to believe that your destination is any less, or, for that matter, any more exciting than
the next man's.
The trouble is that you may not be able to hide the fact that you are lonely, and the miserable look
on your face might well put people off. After all, if you are at a party you are not likely to try to strike
up a conversation with a person who has a gloomy expression on his face and his lips turned down at
the comers. So trying to look reasonably cheerful is a good starting point in combating loneliness, even

if you are choking inside.
The next thing to avoid is finding yourself in a group where in fact you are a stranger, that is, in the
sort of group where all the other people already know each other. There is a natural tendency for
people to stick together, to form 'cliques'. You will do yourself no good by trying to establish yourself
in a group which has so far managed to do very well without you. Groups generally resent intrusion,
not because they dislike you personally, but because they have already had to work quite hard to turn
the group into the functioning unit. To include you means having to go over a lot of ground again, so
that you can learn their language, as it was, and get involved in their conversation at their level. Of
course if you can offer something the group needs, such as expert information, you can get in quickly.
In fact the surest way of getting to know others is to have an interest in common with them. There
is no guarantee that you will then like each other, but at least part of your life will be taken up with
sharing experiences with others. It is much better than always feeling alone. If all this seems to be a
rather pessimistic view of life, you have to accept the fact that we are all alone when it comes down to
it. When the most loving couple in the world kiss and say goodnight, as soon as the husband falls
asleep, the wife realizes that she is alone, that her partner is as far away as if he were on another planet.
But it is no cause for despair: there is always tomorrow.
Question 41: The usual advice for overcoming loneliness is to

( ID: 91653 ) Read the following passage
,
and mark the letter A, B, C, or D
on your answer sheet
to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

Alexis de Tocqueville, the French political scientist, historian, philosopher and politician, is most
famous for a four-volume book he wrote called “Democracy in America”. He came to America in
1831 to study the American form of democracy and what it might mean to the rest of the world. After

a visit of only nine months, he wrote a remarkable book which is regarded as a classic. De Tocqueville
had unusual powers of observation. He described not only the democratic system of government and
how it operated, but also its effect on how Americans think, feel, and act. Many scholars believe he
had a deeper understanding of traditional American beliefs and values than anyone else who has
written about the United States. What is so remarkable is that many of these traits which he observed
nearly 200 years ago, are still visible and meaningful today. His observations are also important
because the timing of his visit, the 1830s, was before America was industrialized. This was the era of
the small farmer, the small businessman, and the settling of the western frontier. It was the period of
history when the traditional values of the new country were newly established. In just a generation,
some 40 years since the adoption of the U.S. Constitution, the new form of government had already
produced a society of people with unique values. He was, however, a neutral observer and saw both
the good and bad sides of these qualities.
The first part of “Democracy in America” was written in 1831-32 and published in 1835. A highly
positive and optimistic account of American government and society, the book was very well received.
He attempted to get a glimpse of the essence of American society, all the while promoting his own
philosophy: the equaling of the classes and the inevitable depth of aristocratic privilege. The rest of the
book he labored on for four years, and in 1840 the second part was published. This was substantially
more pessimistic than the first, warning of the dangers despotism and governmental centralization, and
applying his ideas and criticisms more directly to France. As a result, it was not received as well as the
first part, except in England where it was acclaimed highly.
Question 51: The phrase “these traits” refers to
A. observations B. how Americans think, feel, and act
C. traditional American beliefs and values D. visible and meaningful observations
Question 52: What is the passage primarily about?
A. the progress achieved in America within about 40 years after adoption of the U.S. Constitution
B. “Democracy in America”
C. Alexis de Tocqueville
D. the impact of the book “Democracy in America”
Question 53: The word “unique” in the passage is closest in meaning to

>> Truy cập để học Toán – Lý – Hóa – Sinh – Văn – Anh tốt nhất! 6/12

A. clearly identifiable B. outstanding C. unmatched D. positive
Question 54: According to the passage, when did de Tocqueville visit America?
A. 1831 B. 1830s C. 1831-32 D. 1835
Question 55: Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. the English don’t like the French
B. the book was most important because it was the first time that American values had been clearly
documented
C. de Tocqueville was a slow writer
D. de Tocqueville was primarily motivated by an interest in his own country
Question 56: According to the passage, “Democracy in America” consisted of how many volumes?
A. three B. one C. two D. four
Question 57: Which of the following is true, according to the passage?
A. the visit lasted only five months.
B. the visit coincided with American industrialization.
C. the first part was published in 1835; the second part in 1840.
D. the second part was more optimistic than the first.
Question 58: What in the passage is mentioned as being truly remarkable?
A. the book was so detailed and thorough after only such a comparatively short visit.
B. de Tocqueville’s powers of observation
C. many of his observations are still visible and meaningful today.
D. that the second volume should be so pessimistic in comparison with the first.
Question 59: All of the following fields of professional interest and activity are used to describe de
Tocqueville EXCEPT
