问题      Psychologists in Britain have said that the last full week of January is the most depressing time of a year, and labeled next Monday "Blue Monday". Blue is a slang way of saying unhappy.
     Mondays are generally seen as the worst day of the week because people feel grumpy and tired at having to go back to work after a weekend with a different sleep pattern.
     There are various reasons why more people feel depressed at this time of year. Many people have unpaid credit card bills for the Christmas presents they bought, and pay day is often not until the end of the month.
     As the party season is over, people feel stressed because they have to go back to real life—work and commuting; and they may be unhappy with their body image after binge on alcohols, chocolates, and other food at Christmas-time.①
     People may have already failed in their New Year’s resolutions, such as giving up smoking. The bad weather in January can also contribute to people feeling fed up.
     Some companies are taking this quite seriously and offering counseling for any staff who is feeling depressed. They hope that helping people as soon as there are signs of depression will avoid absenteeism. Evidence shows that unreasonable managers who contribute to their staff feeling fed up at this time can expect an uncooperative workforce. ②
     However, it’s not all bad! Many people feel optimistic at this time, that things can only get better. Psychologists offer suggestions of how to combat feeling blue. These include spending 15 minutes doing a“ gratitude exercise” thinking about and writing down what you are grateful for, such as health, family, friends and so on.
     Taking up a new hobby, doing some exercise, going to bed earlier, eating a healthy breakfast, and listening to some uplifting music, are all recommended as ways to feel more cheerful.
    To avoid feeling blue next January, experts say that the best thing to do is to plan better next December. Spend less on presents, eat and drink less over the festive period, and make more realistic New Year’s resolutions. [br] What can we learn from Paragraph 6?
选项 A、Depression moods of staff is becoming a serious problem to companies.
B、Big stress of work tends to make people out of their mind.
C、Managers provide staff psychological counseling to improve the communication with them.
D、People always change their jobs at this time because of the unsatisfaction with their bosses.
答案 A
解析 推理判断题。第六段第一句写到，很多公司开始认识到这个问题的严重性，并给感到心情不好的员工提供心理辅导。由此可判断选项A 正确。接下来作者写到，老板们这样做是希望员工们不要因为心情不好而缺席。而公司给员工提供心理辅导并不是如亡Q所说的：经理为了加强沟通交流提供心理辅导。选项B 、D 未在原文提到。
