问题           The Transaction of the Mental Healthy Question of University Student
    Let’s be frank: college can be tough. According to a 2007 study by the American College Health Association, 43 percent of students reported having felt "so depressed it was difficult to function" at least once in the prior year. Other studies, based on student surveys, suggest that one in five undergraduates reported having an eating disorder, one in six had deliberately cut or burned himself and one in 10 had considered suicide.
    Given those numbers, it’s deeply troubling that in 2007 just 8.5 percent of students used their college’s counseling services. In other words, students were more likely to consider killing themselves than to seek help. "After Virginia Tech, students feel more afraid to discuss mental-health problems," says Alison Malmon, the founder of Active Minds, a national group that promotes mental-health awareness on campus. "They think they’ll be labeled as the crazy kid who’ll shoot up the school."
    Counselors say that while they do keep an eye out for students who might pose a risk to others, the overwhelming majority of their patients are no threat to anyone but themselves. "The things that make it into the media aren’t people’s everyday struggles," says Gregory Eells, head of Cornell’s counseling service and president of the Association for University and College Counseling Center Directors, "we need to let students know that seeking treatment is a strong, smart thing."
    Counseling services must look for new ways to reach out to troubled students. NYU freshmen are treated annually to a " reality show", in which NYU student actors perform skits on topics from depression to drug abuse. At Harvard, students can win iPods for attending mental-health screening sessions and are invited to "pajama party" panels, where flannel-clad counselors dispense milk and cookies along with advice about the importance of sleep. "There’s still a high level of stigma," says Richard Kadison, head of Harvard’s mental-health services. " We’re trying to find creative ways of getting the message out."
    Many campuses also offer online services allowing students to complete informal diagnostic quizzes away from the prying eyes of their peers. "You take it in the pri-vacy of your own dorm room—not at some event where a bunch of other students might be watching you. "says Katherine Cruise, a director of Screening for Mental Health, a nonprofit that serves about 500 campuses. The results are confidential, but can help nudge students toward counseling services. Still, students and counselors agree that the most effective outreach programs are those led by students themselves. "It’s different when you hear something from another student," says Semmie Kim, a neuro-science major who founded MIT’s chapter of Active Minds in 2007. She’s held events like a bubble-wrap stomp to help students vent pre-exam stress, but says her group’s most important role is to provide troubled peers with a sympathetic ear. "We want to make students realize they’re not alone," she says. College will always be tough, but there’s no need to suffer in silence.
According to the passage, we may infer that in the future______.
选项 A、less and less students will go to university to avoid confronting mental-health problems
B、more and more students will go to university to find ways to make universities less tough
C、undergraduates will have no choice but to continue to suffer from mental-health problems in silence
D、undergraduates are supposed to find ways to let mental suffering out with psychological counselors’help
答案D
解析 推理判断题。本题要注意对全篇的把握：第一段介绍了有心理健康问题的学生的高比例：第二段指出虽然很多人有心理问题，但是进行心理咨询的人却寥寥无几，这是因为他们怕被人视为另类；第三段指明专家们努力让学生认识到心理咨询是有效、明智的方法。第四段介绍了纽约大学和哈佛大学的三种具体方法；第五段介绍了许多学校使用的在线服务；最后一段指出最有效的方法以及心理问题不是个例，大学永远是严酷的，我们没必要在沉默中饱受折磨。由此可见，[D]“大学生应该在心理学家的帮助下克服这些问题”是本文所呼吁的，尤其是末句窥见一斑。所以，正确答案是[D]。
