问题     Psychiatric tests show that a well-balanced person gets much angrier when offended than an abnormal person does. At the New York State Psychiatric Institute, Dr. James Page and Professor of Psychology Carney Landis of Columbia University studied the reaction of 200 normal persons and 210 abnormal persons. They tested their reactions to annoying situations of every type and variety such as: being laughed at, being repeatedly disconnected on the telephone, accidentally hitting their thumb with a hammer, being worked on by a backseat driver, being told to "shut up" and mind their own business, discovering someone cheating in a friendly card game, etc. In almost every instance the anger reaction of the normal group was much more intense than that of the abnormal one.
    "This," they reported, "is agreeing with other psychiatric findings. For one of the outstanding symptoms of mental unbalance is lack of emotion. So if you blow your top when you hit your head against a piece of furniture, or when your girlfriend goes out with another young man--don’t worry about it. It is just a sign that you are normal."
This short passage is most likely taken from ______.

选项 A、an advertisement
B、a laboratory
C、a manual
D、an article

答案D

解析 本题为主旨题。在文章中没有提到关于广告的任何词语,因此排除A;在文章根本就没有实验报告应该具有的特殊格式和专业性用语,因此B也被排除:文章与手册没有任何联系, C也被排除。从全文看,作者向我们介绍两位教授的实验,通过体会文章的语调,可以推断这个材料选自一篇文章,因此,选项D为正确答案。
