Question

   It's easy to spot signs of physical suffering,but much emotional pain can be easily masked. 36 “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.

   37 

   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.

   38 “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 (卫生) can be signs that someone is in trouble. Don’t consider these behaviors are nothing. 39 

   He seems overwhelmed(压倒) 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. “40 ” 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   A. He's acting a bit more withdrawn.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

话题:健康

冬文是说明文。文章介绍了人们心理出现问题时的四个迹象。

36. F。根据本空后的 We don't tend to have conversations about mental well-being 可知，“无 论人们跟某人有多亲密，他们都不会跟对方谈 论心理方面的问题”。F项中的it指代本空上一句中的 emotional pain。

37. B.根据下文中知 something different about the way your friend is acting可知，“朋友跟平不一样”是他心理出P问题的迹象之一。

38. D.根据本段的小标题 He's unusually unhappy or ann oyed可知，“易怒是(心理) 出问题的一个 迹象”。

39. C.根据本空前的 Don’t consider these behaviors are nothing可知，不要把这些不同寻 常的行为不当一回事，“而是要把它们当成你去 关爱朋友的迹象”。C项中的them指代上一句 中的 behaviors。

40. G。根据本空后的 So that more people can get the help they need 可推测，Van Dahlen“希望人们 能更自在地敞开心扉谈论心理健康”，只有这 样，更多的人才能得到他们需要的帮助。
