    While there is a growing focus on mental health in the workplace, there are fewer resources and support available to those running small businesses.
    There are many reasons people choose to have their own business; being their own boss, working on something they love, being able to set their own hours, or having some control over whom they work with. Yet the reality many small business owners face is far less attractive— financial stress, long working hours and unclear boundaries between work and family life. And all of these factors can have a huge impact on their mental health.
    Leanne Fawkner is a business owner of an award-winning skin-care range (系列产品). She knows very well the impact that a small business can have on the mental health of its owner. When her successful business struggled due to the global financial crisis, she suffered a lot mentally. "As business slowed, I was more and more affected, " she says. " I couldn’ t separate myself from my business. It was the worst experience of my life. I could no longer go to work and was crying all day. "
    Fawkner was diagnosed with depression. She had to take several months off work. Fortunately, her husband was able to keep things going while Fawkner was recovering. She saw a counselor (咨询师) for help and took part in a workplace mental health promotion program. This program was designed for small to medium business owners.
    "The stories on the DVD in the program were so helpful. I was crying because I didn’t feel so alone. " For Fawkner, small business owners are overlooked. While employees in larger organizations often have access to employee assistance programs, small business owners are struggling on their own.
A small business owner usually has________.

选项 A、a more colorful life
B、a bigger profit
C、less stress from work
D、longer working time

答案D

解析 事实细节题。由第二段第二句可知,小型企业老板需要面对的现实是金融压力,较长的工作时长以及工作与家庭生活之间模糊的界限,故选D。
