问题   Contrary to what many people think, depression is not a normal
part of growing older. Or it is harder to treat in older people.  But it is【S1】________
often harder to recognize and harder to get patients accept and continue【S2】________
with treatment.
  "Most people think sadness is a hallmark of depression," Bruce
said. "Hence more often in older people it’s anhedonia—they’re not【S3】________
enjoying life.  They’re irritable and cranky. " She added, "Many older
people desperate over the quality of their lives at the end of life. If they【S4】________
have a functional ability or serious medical illness, it may make it harder【S5】________
to notice depression in older people. "
  Family members, friends and medical personnel must take seriously【S6】________
when an older person says "Life is not worth live,"  "I don’t see any【S7】________
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 adults who are【S8】________
depressed.
  The ideal approach, of course, is to prevent depression in the first
place.  Brown recommended that older adults structured their days by【S9】________
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, or 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.
【S3】
选项
答案Hence—But
解析 衔接词错误。前句说“大多数人认为悲伤是抑郁的标志”，接着布鲁斯说“但老年人身上更常见的是缺乏乐趣——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，所以将Hence改为But。
