问题     Contrary to what many people think, depression is not a
normal part of growing older. Or is it harder to treat in older people.【S1】______
But it is often harder to recognize and harder to get patients accept【S2】______
and continue with treatment.
    "Most people think sadness is a hallmark of depression,"
Bruce said. "Hence more often in older people it’s anhedonia—【S3】______
they’re not enjoying life. They’re irritable and cranky. " She added;
"Many older people desperate over the quality of their lives at the【S4】______
end of life. If they have a functional ability or serious medical【S5】______
illness, it may make it harder to notice depression in older people. "
    Family members, friends and medical personnel must take【S6】______
seriously when an older person says " Life is not worth live," " I【S7】______
don’t see any point in living," " I’d be better off dead" or " My
family would be better off if I died," the experts emphasized.
    " Listen carefully, empathize and help the person get evaluated
for treatment or into treatment," Brown urged. He warned that
"depressed older adults tend to have few symptoms" than younger【S8】______
adults who are depressed.
    The ideal approach, of course, is to prevent depression in the
first place. Brown recommended that older adults structured their【S9】______
days by maintaining a regular cycle and planning activities that
" give them pleasure, purpose and a reason for living. "
    He suggested " social activities of any type—joining a book
club or bowling league, going to a senior center or gym, taking
courses at a local college, hanging on out at the coffee shop. "【S10】______
    Bruce suggests taking up a new interest like painting or
needlework or volunteering at a place of worship, school or
museum. Brown explains that any activity the person is able to do
can help to prevent depression and silly ideas of killing oneself.

选项

答案Hence—But

解析 衔接错误。前句说“很多人认为悲伤是抑郁的标志”,接着布鲁斯说“实际上老年患者则表现为缺乏幸福感——他们不能享受生活。他们焦躁不安并且脾气暴躁。”由此可见两句话之间是转折关系,而不是顺承关系,所以使用But。
