问题     Psychology is the study of the mind and mental activities. For example, psychologists are interested in why some things make you sad, but others make you happy. They want to know why some people are shy, but others are quite talkative. They also want to know why people do the things that they do. They test intelligence.
    Psychologists deal with the minds and behavior of people. Your mind consists of all your feelings , thoughts, and ideas. It is the result of one part of the brain called the cerebrum. Your behavior is the way you act or conduct yourself. Examples of behavior include shouting, crying, laughing, and sleeping.
    Several people have been instrumental in the field of psychology. Wilhelm Width set up the first psychological laboratory in Leipzig, Germany, in 1879. Ivan Pavlov, a Russian, is noted for his experiments with dogs in which he studied their reflexes and reactions. Around 1900, Sigmund Freud stated his theory that people try to hold back any memories or thoughts that they believed were not good.
    Psychologists should not be confused with psychiatrists. Psychiatrists deal only with mental illness. They are medical doctors who treat people.
We may conclude that psychologists______.

选项 A、study physical diseases as well
B、deal with animals more often than with people
C、are not medical doctors
D、are interested in things that make you sad

答案C

解析 本题可用排除法。文中最后一段指出,精神病学家利用药物治疗心理疾病。第一段第一句指出,心理学家研究人们思想与行为的关系,而不研究生理疾病,故可排除A项。第三段第三句提到Ivan Pavlov用狗做实验,但这并不代表心理学家们研究动物比人多,故排除B项。第一段第二句提到“psychologists are interested in why somethings make you sad,but others make you happy.”说明心理学家不只是对人难过的事感兴趣,对让人高兴的事同样也感兴趣,故排除D项。
