问题     Domestic violence is a serious crime causing serious social problems. It is violence at home, usually the husband beating his wife or the father beating his children. The victims, the wife and the children, suffer both physically and spiritually. Children develop trauma as a result of exposure to domestic violence. They also develop wet-bedding problems, too.
    The speaker was regularly beaten up by her former husband and often had black eyes and bruises on her body. She suffered terribly and finally got divorced. Many women feel guilty and assume that they are to blame because they cannot understand how the person they love has changed into such a terrifying person. The first possible reason for the domestic violence is that the husband is not happy with the marriage. The second one may be that he is dissatisfied with his job. The third will probably be that he has bad relationships with other people. Fourth, his unemployment may also contribute to "domestic violence". Last but not least, he may be off- balanced because of dissatisfaction with society as a whole.
    Different people may offer different solutions to the problems. Some say that we had better start a kind of special service educating abusive husbands or fathers and helping them to overcome psychological barriers in their life. Some suggest that the wife should try very hard to show understanding for her husband while at the same time make him know that he must respect women’s rights. They should try hard to help their husbands to adapt to the changing world around them. Many others advocate that the abusive husband or father should be punished.
    We are all more aware of domestic violence these days. It is impossible to assess whether the incidence of violence has increased or whether it is simply that people are more willing to talk about it than they were in the past. Victims do not, however, find it easy enough to bring their problems out into the open. But they must, not only for themselves but also for their children and even for their abusive partners.
What can be inferred about the response of victims to domestic violence from the information given in this passage?
选项 A、Victims are reluctant to bring their experience of suffering to public.
B、Victims are very willing to tell the public about their sufferings.
C、They consider it a shame to have this problem.
D、They are often very brave in dealing with their problems.
答案A
解析 最后一段的第三句提到了“Victims do not，however，find it easy enough to bring their problems out into the open”，受害者发现把她们的问题公布于众并不容易。B项的说法与文章的陈述不符，C项和D项的内容根本无法从短文中推断出来，故选A。
