And they often feel unsafe when facing strangers.
Does that mean they have no way to become happy again?________
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.
________ "It's not enough for people just to get in touch with others online. That's because most people don't show their true selves 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 with others. They also need to meet people with the same interests.

A.People who feel lonely
B.The first step is to accept social invitations even if you don't want to go.

本篇短文主要是针对如何摆脱孤独提出的一些建议，所以用New ways to deal with loneliness，处理孤独的新的方法，故选F。

（2）根据空2的前句句意：一些人交朋友有困难，而且他们经常感到孤独。

下文又解释了造成这种现象的原因，因此中间需要用一个过渡句，所以用What's the reason behind that?故选D。

（3）根据空3的前句句意：那意思是他们没有方法变得开心吗？后句句意：这项研究得出科学家们想出了一些帮助这些人对付孤独的方法。

可知前后句的意思表示转折，因此空3是对前面一般问句的否定回答，所以用No, don't worry.故选G。
