Question

【題目】It’s easy to spot signs of physical suffering, but much emotional pain can be easily masked. 【1】 “We don’t tend to have conversations about mental well-being,” says Dr. Barbara Van Dahlen, a clinic psychologist. Simply asking someone “How are you” may just get “Fine, thank you”, says Van Dahlen. “It’s important to be aware of what could lead to somebody needing help they’re afraid to ask for,” she adds. The following are four signs a friend might need help.

【2】

If you sense something different about the way your friend is acting — maybe he’s not smiling much these days, for instance — trust your feelings and reach out. “Try saying, ‘I see these things. I care about you. Can I be of help?’”, Van Dahlen says.

He’s unusually unhappy or annoyed.

【3】 “It may take more than one time to follow up if you’re talking to someone who is upset,” Van Dahlen says, “but if a friend responds with anger, that could mean you’re onto something.”

He’s less put together than usual.

Drinking more and ignoring personal hygiene (衛(wèi)生) can be signs that someone is in trouble. Don’t consider these behaviors are nothing. 【4】 He seems overwhelmed (壓倒) by life.

No one is happy all the time, but if your once optimistic friend can’t find anything to be hopeful about, he may be having thoughts of worthlessness, sadness and something negative. “【5】” says Van Dahlen, “so that more people can get the help they need.”

A. He’s acting a bit more withdrawn.

B. He doesn’t seem like himself lately.

C. Instead treat them as a sign to care for your friend.

D. Getting angry quickly and easily can be a sign that something is wrong.

E. It’s a constant effort to bring into the open discussions about mental health.

F. Many people avoid talking about it no matter how close they are to someone.

G. We want people to get comfortable being more open and discussing mental health.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】F

【2】B

【3】D

【4】C

【5】G

【解析】本文是關(guān)于健康的說明文。文章介紹了人們心理出現(xiàn)問題時(shí)的四個(gè)跡象。

【1】F。根據(jù)本空后的 We don't tend to have conversations about mental well-being 可知，“無 論人們跟某人有多親密，他們都不會(huì)跟對(duì)方談 論心理方面的問題”。F項(xiàng)中的it指代本空上一句中的 emotional pain。故選F。

【2】B.根據(jù)下文中知 something different about the way your friend is acting可知，“朋友跟平不一樣”是他心理出P問題的跡象之一。故選B。

【3】D.根據(jù)本段的小標(biāo)題 He's unusually unhappy or ann oyed可知，“易怒是(心理) 出問題的一個(gè) 跡象”。故填D。

【4】C.根據(jù)本空前的 Don’t consider these behaviors are nothing可知，不要把這些不同尋常的行為不當(dāng)一回事，“而是要把它們當(dāng)成你去 關(guān)愛朋友的跡象”。C項(xiàng)中的them指代上一句 中的 behaviors。故填C。

【5】G根據(jù)本空后的 So that more people can get the help they need 可推測(cè)，Van Dahlen“希望人們能更自在地敞開心扉談?wù)撔睦斫】怠�，只有這樣，更多的人才能得到他們需要的幫助。故填G。
