【题目】从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

The anger and lack of concern that a depressed person may have for people close to him or her can be very disturbing to someone who's trying to help. _____【1】______. Withdrawal from others can make it nearly impossible to encourage a depressed person to enter into activities that may help pull him or her out of the depression.

______【2】____ Attempts to help may be met with defensiveness and verbal attacks.

◆When you are alone with your depressed friend， you might say something like， “I've noticed lately that you seem down. I care about you and would like to listen to what you're thinking about.” Then be a good listener.
