Training as mental-health professionals is supposed to be "color blind". That sounds fine but in practice it means that people from black and ethnic groups get an unfair treatment be cause their particular problems are seldom acknowledged.
So a project was piloted involving Bangladeshi women in inner city London, most of whom migrated to the UK in the 1960s and 1970s from a rural background. Many of these, women turned to their doctors with common symptoms of anxiety, such as headaches, sleeping difficulties, loss of appetite and lack of energy. They were usually prescribed tranquillizers(镇定剂)or even Vitamin C. Since the underlying causes remained, the women visited their doctors with in creasing frequency and some were referred on to mental-health professionals.
The psychologists wanted to see how normal Western approaches to anxiety problems might work when applied across cultures. However, they found that many things in the standard approach had to be changed. They had to translate many of the usual examples -- they would normally compare learning to relax with learning to drive, for instance, which would not have been culturally appropriate. At first they asked the women to rate, on a scale one to ten, the effect of relaxation on their level of anxiety. They found numbers an odd way of expressing how they were feeling. So psychologists shifted their focus to words rand talked of five stages form "very good" to "very bad".
As it was a pilot project, there were Shortcomings. Psychologists looked for too little back up and did not collect as much objective data as they might have done with a white group. They fell into the white stereotype of assuming that Bangladeshi women would find the use of various checklists and written records foreign. Perhaps racism has conditioned the professionals to a greater extent than they expected. Psychologists found that using a Western model across cultures has potential. But it needs political, financial and personal commitment. [br] Which of the following statement can best summarize the main idea of the passage?
选项
A、Bangladeshi women living in Britain suffer from different levels of anxiety.
B、Western models prove to be unsuccessful in treating psychological problems of ethnic groups.
C、Mental problems of ethnic groups have not got due recognition.
D、People relate better to people of similar backgrounds.
答案
C
解析
主旨大意题。从文章的结构来看,对文章主要大意的总结只需找到主旨句即可。文章首段第二句揭示了文章的主旨大意,即黑人和其他种族群体在实际生活中受到不公正待遇,因为他们个别的问题没有获得足够的重视。C(其他种族的心理问题没有得到应有的关注)是主旨句的同义转述。选项A是列举实例,不是本文讨论的中心问题;文章最后一段说用西方的模式治疗其他文化背景的人的问题是有潜力的,但还需要各种努力,B说已经被证明是不成功的,说法过于绝对;选项D本身也没错,但它只是一个细节内容,不能概括文章的中心思想。
