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] What’s the purpose of the first paragraph?
选项
A、To tell the story of Ida Bauer.
B、To show us how Freud treated one of his patients.
C、To introduce the topic of secret-keeping.
D、To show the importance of observation in treatment.
答案
C
解析
主旨大意题。定位段大意是:在治疗依达.鲍尔的过程中,弗洛伊德观察到她玩自己的小手提包,从而推断出她有被压抑的欲望。由此,弗洛伊德得出“没有哪个凡人可以保守秘密”的结论。结合全文可知,第一段是为了引出本文的话题——保守秘密,因此C)“为了引入保守秘密的话题”为正确答案。
