选项 A、depressed
B、encouraged
C、disappointed
D、amazed
答案C
解析 词汇辨析题。此处谈到孩子隐藏自己真实行为的目的：躲避惩罚、避免被认为是"疯子"、不愿让他们所爱的父母失望或焦虑。句中出现了选择连词or，可以推出其前后词汇语义场相同。根据常识可知，父母经常对孩子有很多期待，一旦孩子表现不好，父母就会出现失望、焦虑等情绪，既然后面是 worried(焦虑的)，前面很可能出现表示"失望的"之意的形容词。depressed意为"沮丧的，情绪低落的"，主要强调个人情绪上的表现，而文中的意思是父母因为孩子的不好表现而感到失望、不安，两个词强调不同的方面；encouraged意为"被鼓励的"，amazed意为"吃惊的，惊奇的"，这两个词都具有积极意义，显然不符合此处的语境。
