解答 36-40 AGBEF
36 A 本段的标题是Reach out to others，but start small．告诉我们要多和别人交往，但是起步要小．刚刚开始的时候，小小的行动会有很好的效果．横线前一句表示"一个微笑或友好的问候不一定会让你交到最好哦的朋友"，但是会让双方感觉都很好，会让下次交流变得更容易．所以A项正确．
37 G 根据前两句If going to the school dance makes you feel like you just don't belong，try joining a special-interest group．Maybe it's the drama club or the marching band可知作者建议去参加一些团体活动，也许是一些特别的团队，这些团队会让你慢慢地放松下来．只有G项与上文转换的group一致，所以G项正确．
38 B 本段主要讲述的是通过做其他的事情，让自己得到别人的认可来消除孤单．根据横线后两句Teach a child in reading．Take notes for a disabled classmate．可知这些都是志愿者工作，故B项"So consider becoming a volunteer．"符合上下文．
39 E 根据本段后两句That's why it's important to know how to select a friend．The best friendships are those based on similar values and attitudes．可知选择朋友在对付孤独方面作用很大．所以要选择正确的人．故E项正确．
40 F 根据横线后一句It goes away as teens learn how to find their way through their social world and connect with others．可知如果年轻人找到合适的方法处理孤独，孤独很快就会没有了．也就是说孤独都是暂时的．故F项正确．
