Though Ida Bauer was only 18 years old, she had come to Sigmund Freud suffering from coughing and speechlessness. She’d become depressed, even hinting at suicide. During one session, as he tried to help her uncover the source of her sickness, Freud observed Bauer toying with a small handbag. Interpreting the act as an expression of repressed desire, Freud concluded, "No mortal can keep a secret. If his lips are silent, he chatters with his finger-tips; betrayal oozes out of him at every pore."
Sometimes a handbag is just a handbag, but modern research does support the idea that secrecy can be a source of mental and physical distress. Keeping a secret requires constant effort. In one recent study, subjects asked to conceal their sexual orientation performed worse on a spatial ability task, reacted more rudely to criticism, and gave up sooner in a test of handgrip endurance. And the bigger the secret, the harder it is to keep. Another study found that subjects asked to recall a meaningful secret perceived hills to be steeper and distances to be longer than those asked to recall a trivial secret. When researchers requested help moving books from their lab, the subjects harboring meaningful secrets lifted fewer stacks.
All of that mental exertion might actually wear a body down: research shows an association between keeping an emotionally charged secret and ailments ranging from the common cold to chronic diseases.
Other evidence in favor of disclosure includes multiple studies showing that writing about a traumatic (令人痛苦的 ) experience can boost the immune system, and the finding that teens who confide in a parent or close friend report fewer physical complaints and less delinquent behavior, loneliness, and depression than those who sit on their secrets.
One reason secret keeping is such hard work is that secrets, like unwanted thoughts, tend to take up more brain space the more one tries not to think about them. But not everyone is equally prone to this self-defeating cycle. Researchers have identified a small class of "repressors," who experience fewer intrusive (妨碍的) thoughts about sensitive information they are suppressing: they may keep their secrets so tightly wrapped that they manage to hide them even from themselves. [br] The word "repressors" (Line 3, Para. 4) refers to people________.
选项
A、who keep secrets so well as if they didn’t exist
B、who are sensitive to the information they are keeping
C、who are easily influenced by unwanted thoughts
D、who often confide in families or friends
答案
A
解析
语义理解题。定位句指出,研究者发现有一小部分的“压抑者”,他们对正在保守的敏感信息不那么烦心:他们可以很好地保守秘密,甚至做到仿佛他们自己从来不知道这些秘密一样。A)“很好地保守秘密就好像它们不存在一样”符合原文对repressors的解释,是本题答案。
