问题     Contrary to what many people think, depression is not a
normal part of growing older. Or is it harder to treat in older people.【S1】______
But it is often harder to recognize and harder to get patients accept【S2】______
and continue with treatment.
    "Most people think sadness is a hallmark of depression,"
Bruce said. "Hence more often in older people it’s anhedonia—【S3】______
they’re not enjoying life. They’re irritable and cranky. " She added;
"Many older people desperate over the quality of their lives at the【S4】______
end of life. If they have a functional ability or serious medical【S5】______
illness, it may make it harder to notice depression in older people. "
    Family members, friends and medical personnel must take【S6】______
seriously when an older person says " Life is not worth live," " I【S7】______
don’t see any point in living," " I’d be better off dead" or " My
family would be better off if I died," the experts emphasized.
    " Listen carefully, empathize and help the person get evaluated
for treatment or into treatment," Brown urged. He warned that
"depressed older adults tend to have few symptoms" than younger【S8】______
adults who are depressed.
    The ideal approach, of course, is to prevent depression in the
first place. Brown recommended that older adults structured their【S9】______
days by maintaining a regular cycle and planning activities that
" give them pleasure, purpose and a reason for living. "
    He suggested " social activities of any type—joining a book
club or bowling league, going to a senior center or gym, taking
courses at a local college, hanging on out at the coffee shop. "【S10】______
    Bruce suggests taking up a new interest like painting or
needlework or volunteering at a place of worship, school or
museum. Brown explains that any activity the person is able to do
can help to prevent depression and silly ideas of killing oneself. [br] 【S8】

答案 few—fewer
解析 形容词比较级错误。此处说“老年人患抑郁症的症状要比年轻患者少”，并且有明显的比较连词than，因此应该使用比较级。
