【解析】

每个人都会悲伤。悲伤的情绪会发生的相当频繁。超过一半的青少年每个月至少要经历一段悲伤。悲伤的情绪通常不会持续很长时间，几个小时或一两天。当你伤心难过的时候，你就会哭，这样会让你的心情变得好一些。如果悲伤的时间持续的很长，就是抑郁症。如果发现自己或孩子等得了抑郁症，就要得到及时的治疗。

【1】根据“Everyone gets sad. Being sad can happen pretty often.”每个人都会悲伤，悲伤可能发生的非常频繁。可推测答案：More than half of teenagers go through a period of sadness at least once a month.一多半的青少年，一个月至少要经历一段悲伤。故选D。

【2】根据“However, your feeling of sadness usually doesn’t last very long - a few hours, or maybe a day or two.”然而，悲伤的情绪通常不会持续很长时间—几个小时或者是一两天。However表示转折，与前面的意思相反，可推知前面的答案应该是：难过的时候，感觉它将永远持续下去，该句与选项B相符，故选B。

【3】由空格后出现的新单词depression可推知，上文谈到的应该与之相关，答案E符合题意，故选E。

【4】根据前一句“When depression happens, it’s very important for children to receive treatment.”当发现孩子得了抑郁症时，孩子接受治疗很重要。可以推测如果发现后就接受治疗，很快就会好起来。该空与答案C相符，故选C。

【5】由前一句“If you think you have depression, or you just have sadness that simply will not go away, it is important to talk to an adult about it first”如果你认为你得了抑郁症或者是简单的悲伤你没有消失，首先和一个成年人谈论一下很重要。由此可推知，成年人可能会找到原因，帮你找到正确的治疗方法。A答案符合题意，故选A。
