Question

阅读理解

阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A，B，C和D）中选出最佳选项。

　　Lisa is a good example of a student in shock (冲击). She is a beautiful clever twenty-year-old college junior at a state university. She was a straight-A student in high school and a member of the basketball and softball teams there. Now, only three years later, Lisa is sad and miserable. She has changed her major (专业) four times and is forced to hold down two part-time jobs in order to pay her tuition (学费). She suffers from sleeping and eating disorders; she has no close friends. Sometimes she burst out crying for no apparent (明显的) reason.

　　What is happening to Lisa happens to millions of college students each year. As a result, roughly one quarter of the student population at any time will suffer from symptoms (症状) of depression (消沉). Of that group, almost half will experience depression serious enough to call for professional (专业的) help. But many put that idea aside, for they don't want people to think there's something wrong with them.

　　There are three reasons why today's college students are suffering more than in earlier generations. First is a weakening family support structure. Today, with high divorce (离婚) rates and many parents experiencing their own psychological difficulties, the traditional family is not always available for guide and support.

　　Another problem is financial (金融的) pressure. In the last decade tuition costs have shot up about sixty-six percent at public colleges and ninety percent at private schools. At the same time there has been a cutback in state aid to students. College loans (贷款) are now much harder to get. As a result, most students must work at least part-time.

　　A final cause of student shock is the large selection of majors available. Because of the importance and difficulty of choosing a major, college can prove to be a time of great indecision. Many students change majors. As a result, it is becoming commonplace to take five or six years to get a degree. It can be depressing to students to be faced with the additional tuition costs.
