问题    1    Women, by virtue of the availability of such outlets as crying for the expression of emotion, are likely to suffer from fewer psychological disturbances than men.
   2     I know of no studies on the expression of the emotions in businesswomen. But the increase in psychological disorders among women in recent years suggests that women in business may be attempting to restrain the normal expression of their emotions. If so, I would say that this is not good. Women in business who believe that in order to succeed they must imitate men are barking up the wrong tree.
   3     I am not suggesting that every time one runs into a major frustration, one ought to have a good cry. I think this would be silly. Crying should be reserved for the appropriate situation, and that is whenever one’s organism indicates the necessity. In this respect the American male has a great deal to learn from American females—whether in business or out of it. In business the emotions that are likely to be called into play tend to be the angry emotions, and crying is not a natural way of expressing such emotions. Opportunities to blow off steam in ways appropriate to the occasion should be provided until such time as we have strived to produce human beings who have learned to deal with their frustrations in a constructive manner.
   4     It would be absurd to suggest that the psychological disorders from which men suffer in America are the result of not crying. The inability to cry is but one reflection of many indicating that the American male has not been taught how to use his emotions efficiently, and it is this general inefficient use of his emotions, rather than one particular expression of them, that is principally at fault. Nevertheless, it is agreed by most authorities that crying is a beneficial means of relieving the person of tensions which seek expression in this particular manner. It is far better that the energies which seek release in such emotional expression find an outlet in weeping than that they should be shut up to seek unexpected expression through the bodies.  [br] The expression "... barking up the wrong tree" (Para. 2) probably means ______.
选项 A、crying among the trees improperly
B、shouting at the wrong person
C、having a wrong idea
D、saying something wrong by mistake
答案 C
解析 本题为一般推理题。据第2段最后1句与它前面的两句之间的意义联系以及男性一般会努力压抑的情绪这样的背景知识可确定。
