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 can be inferred from Paragraph 2?
选项
A、Keeping secrets can only cause mental discomfort.
B、It is more difficult to keep a big secret than a small one.
C、People who have meaningful secrets carry as many books as those who don’t.
D、Secret-keeping doesn’t need constant effort.
答案
B
解析
推理判断题。由mental discomfort定位至第二段第一句,原文提到了身体不适,因此排除A)“保密只会引起精神不适”。由more difficult和big secret定位至第二段第四句,定位句指出,秘密越大,越难以保守,因此B)“保守大秘密比小秘密更困难”为答案。由carry…books定位至第二段最后一句,定位句指出,当研究者要求帮忙从实验室搬书的时候,那些保守重大秘密的人搬的书更少,因此排除C)“隐藏重大秘密的人和没有重大秘密的人搬的书一样多”。由constant effort定位至第二段第二句Keeping a secret requires constant effort,因此排除D)“保密不需要不断的努力”。
