His head teacher had referred him to me."This boy,"he wrote,"is very sad and depressed.He refuses to talk to others and I'm very worried about him.Can you help?"There are human tragedies psychology doesn't have the answer to,and which no words can describe. Sometimes the best thing is to listen openly and sympathetically. The first two times we met,David didn't say a word.As he was about to leave after the second visit,I put my hand on his shoulder.He didn't shrink back,but he didn't look at me either."Come back next week,if you like,"I said. He came,and I suggested we play a game of chess.He nodded.After that we played chess every Wednesday afternoon-in complete silence and without making any eye contact.One afternoon in late winter,while he was setting up the chess pieces,his face seemed more alive and his motions more lively.Some months later,when I sat staring at David's head,he was bent over the chessboard.I thought about how little we know about therapy-about the mysterious process associated with healing.Suddenly,he looked up at me. “It's your turn,”he said. After that day,David started talking.He got friends and joined a bicycle club.He wrote me letters about how he would try to get into university.Now he had really started to live his own life. 第2页共8页 4.Why did David refuse to speak to others at first?

B.His gradual willingness to engage with the world. C.His unhappiness with the psychologist. D.His interest in competitive activities. 7.What can we infer from this text? A.Family care systems are helpful. B.Everyone has a sympathetic nature. C.An ear that listens can overcome pain. D.It is a must to own a shoulder to cry on. c A new report by a British plant protection group says that almost 30 percent of the world's tree species()are at risk of dying out.The State of the World's Trees report shows that 17,500 tree species are at risk of extinction.And 440 species have fewer than 50 trees left in the wild.
