    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. [br] Which of the following may be the most original reason for the problem of undergraduates’ mental-health?
选项 A、Colleges are tough and many students couldn’t adjust themselves to it well.
B、Theye is the lack of enough counseling service to help troubled students out.
C、They think they’ll be labelled as the crazy kids because of their mental difficulty.
D、The overwhelming majority of troubled students are no threat to anyone but themselves.
答案 A
解析 推理判断题。本题首先要注意审题：造成大学生心理健康问题“最原始的”原因。[B]“没有足够的心理咨询”与第二段第一句关于“很少有学生向心理咨询求助”的含意不符；[C]是学生不愿意去进行心理咨询的原因；[D]是大学生心理健康出问题之后的结果，因而这三项均不正确。[A]“大学很严酷”在文章开头就被提出，而且，因为这一现状，出现了一系列的心理问题；另外，文章最后一句与第一句遥相呼应：“大学将永远是严酷的，但是我们没必要在沉默中饱受折磨。”由此可见，最原始的原因是“大学很严酷”。所以，正确答案是[A]。
