问题     The way our society is structured affects all human relationships. Outside the home We have a system of power relationship: worker/employer, individual/state, etc, and most people feel particularly powerless if their specific situation is beyond their control. The resultant stresses need outlets.
    There are many different outlets. Many of us are inclined at least sometimes to take out our frustration on people nearest to us. The kind of destructive(毁灭性的)outlet that a woman uses may be physical-either against her husband or children but more often it is directed towards her children who cannot walk out. Commonly, women turn violent feelings inwards: twice as many women as men suffer from depression. Women are the most vulnerable (易受伤的)to depression. As far as men are concerned, they have been brought up to use their fists-and even encouraged to do so. So a man’s outlet can, in its extreme form, involve physical violence against his wife and family. Many women have no way to escape: they cannot easily leave home. Compared with men, women are relatively powerless.
    Women are expected to look after their children. Many women are consequently totally dependent on their husbands’ incomes, or earn a little money at parttime, low-paid jobs. Fathers, on the other hand, are not seen by society as responsible for the care of their children. A man can still drink all his earnings if he wishes. One of the reasons some women put up with beating for so long is because they are concerned about how they could bring up the children with little money on their own if they left. Often, women finally leave only when they fear that their children are themselves in physical or mental danger from their fathers.
Why does the author think women are easier to suffer from depression?
选项
答案Because they turn violent feelings inwards．
解析 细节题。在第二段第四句中找到关键词suffer from depression，原文中的twice as many women as men就说明了women are easier to suffer．．．。冒号的作用之一是引出一个分句，对前面的句子进行解释、举例、补充或重复。这句话中冒号引出的分句是对前面的句子进行补充说明，那么women are easier to suffer．．．的原因就是冒号前面的内容，即Because they turn violent feelings inwards。
