Thoughts of suicide haunted Anita Rutnam long before she arrived at Syracuse University. She had a history of mental illness and had even attempted to kill herself. During her junior year of college, she tried again. On a February morning in 1998, just days after a campus counselor recommended she be hospitalized for her suicidal tendencies, Rutnam threw herself off the eighth floor of a Syracuse dormitory.
Miraculously, she survived. But three years later, Rutnam still feels the effects of that day. She has not been able to finish college and is suing her former school for malpractice. Her suit asserts that, given the campus counselor’s advice, school officials should have done more to pre vent her suicide attempt.
This incident and others have thrown a spotlight on an issue that is causing growing concern in dorm rooms and students center. Are colleges providing adequate care for students who may be struggling with a range of mental illnesses? In the Syracuse ease, a spokesman for the school contends, "The University tried repeatedly to help Anita, and we felt that they acted appropriately." But lawyers are busy there and elsewhere.
After accidents, suicide is the second biggest killer of kids in college. And while the number of students who kill themselves on campus is no higher than that of 18-to-24-year-olds in the general population, a series of sensational incidents has raised the question of whether troubled students are getting proper attention.
So what are the schools’ responsibilities to at-risk students, particularly those who may be genetically predisposed(易患……病的)to mental illness? College can be a breeding ground for psychiatric problems. Poor eating habits and irregular sleeping patterns—especially combined with the academic stress of college life—may all play roles in triggering mental problems. Additionally, many of the major psychiatric illnesses including depression often do not manifest themselves until the late teens or early 20s.
What does Anita accuse her former school of?
选项
A、Ignorance of her abnormal behaviors.
B、Lack of safeguard against her suicidal intention.
C、Failure to give her proper academic instructions.
D、Indifference to her physical disease.
答案
B
解析
第3句中的malpractice和第4句中的虚拟语气说明,她认为学校没有对她的自杀企图采取足够的防范措施,故选B。
