    The coronavirus won’t be going anywhere for a long time—and neither will our fears about it. But when people share their fears with you, what do you say? It may feel as if you’re offering comfort with a comment meant to lift their spirits. Problems and fears around COVID-19 can be complex and having a more positive outlook isn’t always a suitable salve. So here’s what to say—and what not to say—when people express their fears and worries to you right now.
    【R1】________________________
    Saying things like, "You have nothing to worry about," does not make anxiety magically disappear. And if someone is sharing fears about the coronavirus, discussing statistics about recovery rates doesn’t help either. Saying something like, " The vast majority of people who are infected recover," doesn’t help somebody manage their concerns in the moment.
    【R2】________________________
    Unless the other person explicitly asks you for suggestions on managing his or her concerns, you shouldn’t offer your opinions. Most likely, people are just looking for an ear. They’re looking for a heart, somebody who can meet them in the experience and then they can better figure it out on their own.
    【R3】_______________________
    Statements with the word "should" sound supportive, but they aren’t. That’s because we are telling people what to do or how to feel. Offering counsel like, "You should just practice self-care" or "You shouldn’t be so negative" is not helpful, we don’t know how to express that concern and we may fear that we are adding onto what the other person is already going through.
    【R4】________________________
    Once you realize what dismissive positivity statements sound like, you may realize you’ve spoiled the job as an intimate. It’s not too late to do some damage control. Say something like, "Hey, I noticed when we were talking earlier, it didn’t seem like you were connecting with what I was saying. I realize I slipped into cheerleader mode too quickly. Can we try again? How are you doing now?"
    【R5】________________________
    The solution to dismissive positivity is just to really listen to what someone is experiencing. If that’s hard for you to do, try to investigate why that is. Figure out what about the conversation is making you uncomfortable and what you’re trying to accomplish by being overly positive.
    If you’re at a loss for what to say next time you feel compelled to slip into cheerleader mode, you can ask the person directly what they would find helpful. Recruit them as an ally so you can face the issue together.

答案E

解析 根据下文中“Saying things like,‘You have nothing to worry about,’does not make anxiety magically disappear”,即“说‘你没什么好担心的’这样的话并不会让焦虑神奇地消失”,此句中nothing,anxiety分别对应选项[E]Don’t minimize negative emotions中的minimize和negative emotions,故本题答案为[E]。
