【答案】

【3】A

【4】C

【5】F

【解析】说明文。针对抑郁，提供有效的应对措施。

【1】该空前一句“When you’re depressed, it often feels like nothing in the world can make you feel better.”讲抑郁的人极难有好心情；后一句讲抑郁通过正确治疗和对待可被克服。根据逻辑关系可知，该空应围绕“抑郁”并起到转折的作用。故选E。

【2】本段围绕其小标题“Be active”（积极、活跃）这一主旨展开，对该空的考虑也应以此为前提。再根据空格后的句子“You may feel exhausted and unwilling to take part in activities, but it’s been proved that activities fight depression.”可以判断，空格所需句子应与这个复合句之间存在因果关系。即“（因为）抑郁会降低你的体能、并使你悲观消极。（所以）尽管你感到疲倦、不愿参加活动，但是参加活动有助于战胜抑郁，这已经得到证明。”故选D。

【3】该空为第三段的小标题，应根据段落主旨而得到答案。第三段段落大意为：尴尬和自我厌恶只会加重抑郁的症状，抑郁者应对自己怀有同情和接纳的态度。故选A。

【4】根据该空后一句“That is a much more appropriate attitude.”可知，前一句应该是对“这一态度”的具体阐述。故选C。

【5】根据最后一段小标题可知该段主旨为“寻求专业帮助”。该空作为段落的总结句，应该围绕该主题展开。故选F。
