Women are moody. By evolutionary design, we are hard-wired to be sensitive to our environments, empathic to our children’ s needs and intuitive of our partners’ intentions. This is basic to our survival and that of our offspring. Some research suggests that women are often better at articulating their feelings than men because as the female brain develops, more capacity is reserved for language, memory, hearing and observing emotions in others.
These are observations rooted in biology, not intended to
mesh with
any kind of pro- or anti-feminist ideology. But they do have social implications. Women’ s emotionality is a sign of health, not disease; it is a source of power. But we are under constant pressure to restrain our emotional lives. We have been taught to apologize for our tears, to suppress our anger and to fear being called hysterical.
The pharmaceutical industry plays on that fear, targeting women in a barrage of advertising on daytime talk shows and in magazines. More Americans are on psychiatric medications than ever before, and in my experience they are staying on them far longer than was ever intended. Sales of an tidepressants and antianxiety meds have been booming in the past two decades, and they’ve recently been outpaced by an antipsychotic, Ability, that is the No. 1 seller among all drugs in the United States, not just psychiatric ones.
At least one in four women in America now takes a psychiatric medication, compared with one in seven men. Women are nearly twice as likely to receive a diagnosis of depression or anxiety disorder than men are. For many women, these drugs greatly improve their lives. But for others they aren’t necessary. The increase in prescriptions for psychiatric medications, often by doctors in other specialties, is creating a new normal, encouraging more women to seek chemical assistance. Whether a woman needs these drugs should be a medical decision, not a response to peer pressure and consumerism.
Obviously, there are situations where psychiatric medications are called for. The problem is too many genuinely ill people remain untreated, mostly because of socioeconomic factors. People who don’t really need these drugs are trying to medicate a normal reaction to an unnatural set of stressors: lives without nearly enough sleep, sunshine, nutrients, movement and eye contact, which is crucial to us as social primates.
Women are often better at expressing their feelings than men in that women______.
选项
A、are born to be sensitive to environments
B、have more brain’ s capacity for expressing functions
C、have the basic skills to survive
D、are more sensitive to language
答案
B
解析
细节题。根据题干关键词定位到第一段,Some research suggests that women are of ten better at articulating their feelings than men because as the female brain develops,more capacity is reserved for language,memory,hearing and observing emotions in others.(有些 研究显示,与男性相比,女性往往更擅长表达自己的感情。因为女性大脑发育的过程中, 有更多容量留给了语言、记忆、听觉和观察他人的情绪。)故B项“女性有更多表达功能 方面的脑容量”符合题意,为正确答案。A项“女性天生对环境就是敏感的”与文章第一 句相符,但与题干无关;C项“女性有生存下去的基本技能”和D项“因为女性对语言更 加敏感”均属于过度推断,故排除。
