Suicide has been a cause of concern in most societies for a long time. The classical Greeks, for example, required people who wanted to kill themselves to get permission from the senate. While this law is not without humor by today’ s standards, it clearly shows an awareness of the problem in times gone by. In today’ s society, suicide is much more prevalent than we want to admit. Why do people try to take their own lives?
The motives for suicide can be categorized into areas such as failure, wrath, the need for attention, stress, and so on. However, the qualities of a person who wants to take his own life change from person to person, making it difficult to depict (描写) the typical victim. To make the problem even more involved, people will often camouflage (掩盖) their true feelings, thus causing their friends to disregard problems that should be viewed as serious.
In the U. S. , a network of centers has been created to attempt to prevent suicides. People who are bitter, worried, or depressed are encouraged to contact workers at these centers. These workers, often trained volunteers, offer benevolent advice to the callers, trying to help the callers to see that suicide as a solution to problems is an illusion. The accomplishments of these centers, in so far as their effectiveness to reduce suicide is concerned, are minimal. However, they have helped a lot of people with a variety of problems. So, in the somewhat amorphous (难以名状的) area of man helping his fellow man, they are certainly a success.
Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a motive for suicide?
选项
A、Insanity.
B、Pressure.
C、The need for attention.
D、Great anger.
答案
A
解析
题干意为“下列哪一个不是文中提及的自杀的动机?”根据第二段的第一句“The motives for suicide can be categorized into areas such as failure,wrath,the need for attention,stress,and so on”可知,人们自杀的原因可以分成以下几类:失败、气恼、想得到别人的关注、压力等等。句中的wrath和D同义,stress和B同义,只有A未被提到,故选A。
