问题     Let’s not mince words; college can be tough. According to a 2007 study by the American College
    Health Association, 43 percent of students reported having felt " so depressed it was difficult to function" at least once in the prior year. Other studies, based on student surveys, suggest that one in five undergraduates reported having an eating disorder, one in six had deliberately cut or burned themselves and one in 10 had considered suicide.
    Given those numbers, it’s deeply troubling that in 2007 just 8.5 percent of students used their college’s counseling services. In other words, students were more likely to consider killing themselves than to seek help. Students feel more afraid to discuss mental-health problems. They think they’ll be labeled as the crazy kid who’ll shoot up the school.
    Counselors say that while they do keep an eye out for students who might pose a risk to others, the overwhelming majority of their patients are no threat to anyone but themselves. Counseling services must look for new ways to reach out to troubled students and let them know that seeking treatment is a strong, smart thing. At Harvard, students can win iPods for attending mental-health screening sessions and are invited to "pajama parly" panels, where flannel clad counselors dispense milk and cookies along with advice about the importance of sleep. "There’s still a high level of stigma," says Richard Kadison, head of Harvard’s mental-health services. " We’re trying to find creative ways of getting the message out. "
    Many campuses also offer online services allowing students to complete informal diagnostic quizzes away from the prying eyes of their peers. The results are confidential, but can help nudge students toward counseling services. Besides, many colleges encourage parents to pitch in, whether by watching out for warning signs or by coaxing their kids to seek help. Philadelphia University now issues students’ relatives with a calendar highlighting the toughest times of the year for freshmen, while the University of Minnesota offers online workshops, where parents can learn about conditions such as anxiety and Asperger’s syndrome.
    Still, students and counselors agree that the most effective outreach programs are those led by students themselves. "It’s different when you hear something from another student, " says Semmie Kim, a neuroscience major who founded MIT’s chapter of Active Minds in 2007. She’s held events like a bubble-wrap stomp to help students vent pre-exam stress, but says her group’s most important role is to provide troubled peers with a sympathetic ear. " We want to make students realize they’re not alone," she says. "College will always be tough, but there’s no need to suffer in silence. "
Which of the following is still bothering the counselors?
选项 A、Whether they should tell the truth to their patients directly?
B、How much time they will spend on each screening session?
C、What treatment should be included in their counseling service?
D、How counseling services will be acceptable and available to troubled students?
答案D
解析 推理题。由题干关键词counselors定位至第三段。该段首先介绍了心理辅导教师发现：大部分患心理疾病的学生对他人并没有威胁，而只对他们自己构成威胁。作者认为，咨询服务必须寻找到新的途径以深入到需要帮助的学生当中，让他们知道只有接受治疗才是明智之举。接下来作者列举了哈佛大学在治疗心理疾病方面所做的尝试，并进一步指出哈佛心理健康服务中心仍在努力寻找“一种创造性的、可以被接受的方式”，也就是说，困扰心理咨询辅导教师的问题是如何使心理咨询普及并为学生所接受，故选项[D]为正确答案。
