In the past, it was believed that depression(抑郁症) was more prevalent among the poorer and less educated people, but that is not the case. The truth is, depression can afflict people from all walks of life, and often it hits the most ambitious, creative and conscientious. It is wrong to think that people on the corporate position of the social ladder are not prone(易于......的) to this disease. In fact, executives and professionals who are burdened with mounting pressures in their work may obsessed with all these pressures and become depressed. The suicide of Vincent Foster, a noted American lawyer and White House official is a case in point. Despite the honor of his position, which many people thought admirable, he felt overburdened with pressures and decided to take the easy way out.
Studies show that people born later in this century have experienced much more depression than those born earlier. In fact the rate of depression over the last two generations has increased tenfold. Experts theorize that it could be due to the fact that the younger generations have higher expectations from life and are therefore more likely to suffer from failure, disappointment and hence, depression.
Depression is easily recognizable. The depressed person feels sad or down in the dumps, and loses interest in even the most pleasurable activities. Moreover, he suffers from either significant gain or loss of weight, sleeplessness or over sleeping, sluggish movement and thinking, fatigue, feelings of guilt and worthlessness, impaired concentration and forgetfulness, and in extreme cases, the afflicted person may have suicidal tendencies. It is often believed that depression runs in the family, but this is not conclusively so, since there are eases where depressed persons do not have a history of depression in their families. Depression is often work-related although at times it has its roots in family relations.
People who suffer from depression need not stay in the closet, since it is not a sin or a shame to be depressed. A prompt visit to a psychologist means prompt treatment and hence prompt recovery. Experts guarantee that depression is easily treatable, and in nip-in-the-bud eases, the patient fully recovers in a few days, thanks to the variety of effective treatment available. [br] Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?
选项
A、Very high expectations from life make the younger generations more prone to depression.
B、A depressed person feels sad and dejected.
C、People need not attempt to hide their depression because it’s not a shameful thing.
D、Depression is hereditary.
答案
D
解析
这一题主要考查读者对整体的理解。需用排除法来选择答案。A项认为“极高的期待使人易于患抑郁症”。文中第二段曾提到年轻一代易患此病是由于他们对生活有太高的期待,从而容易失败,进而患上抑郁症,所以A项符合原文,应排除。B项认为“一个患抑郁症的人常感到悲伤、沮丧”这在文中第三段第二句也提到,所以B项符合原文应排除。C项认为“人们无需隐瞒他们患抑郁症的事实,因为这并非一件羞耻的事。”这在文中第四段首句中也明确提到,C项也应排除。D项认为“抑郁症是遗传的”这与文中第三段“抑郁症并不一定是遗传的”这一提法相反。文中还强调有许多例子表明许多抑郁症患者的上辈并不曾患过此病。因而D项与原文不符,应选D。
