Question

    Jennifer Udler was in the middle of a 50-minute session with a patient when it started to rain. Walking and talking about anxiety and stress, she and her teenage patient got wet. But when they made it back indoors, Jennifer said, “ Hey, look at us! We’re wet, but we got through it! Now you can use that next time you have anxiety before and during an event. ” This kind of insight is key to her practice.

Jennifer, a social worker whose practice focuses on adolescents, has been a therapist （治疗师 ）for 20 years. For most of that time, she practiced in a traditional office, but she noticed how easy it was for her running partners to open up about their problems. After doing some research, in 2013, Jennifer founded Positive Strides Therapy, where she conducts sessions while walking outdoors. She conducts all of her sessions outdoors and in all kinds of weather.

“When somebody asks me if I specialize in walking therapy, I say, ‘No, that’s how I practice,’ ” Udler said. “I specialize in family systems theory. Walking in the park is just where I practice. ”

Despite the lack of formal research, Jennifer believes strongly in the benefits, saying that it can be helpful. “We’ll be talking about ‘moving forward’ as we are actually moving forward on the path, building muscle memory of how they can move forward and leave the anxiety behind. ”

And outdoor walking therapy doesn’t just benefit teens. Jennifer says the adults in her practice welcome the humanizing effect of taking therapy outdoors.

Now you can use that next time you have anxiety before and during an event. ” 她和她十几岁的病人边走边谈论焦虑和压力，她和她十几岁的病人淋湿了。但当他们回到室内时，詹妮弗说：“看看我们！我们身上湿了，但我们熬过去了！现在你可以在下次出现焦虑之前和期间运用它”，由此可推断出，通过与青少年病人在雨中散步，她要告诉这个病人的是，虽然经历了风雨，但是我们最终能够战胜困难的。故选C。

Walking in the park is just where I practice. ” (当有人问我是否擅长Positive Strides Therapy疗法时，我会说，‘不，我就是这样练习的，’” 詹妮弗·乌德勒说。“我专攻家庭系统理论。在公园散步正是我练习的地方。)”以及下文“Despite the lack of formal research, Jennifer believes strongly in the benefits”可推断出詹妮弗•乌德勒对她的这种疗法非常自信。故选B。

4.

词句猜测题。前第三段一直在讨论walking therapy疗法，并且说她一直在运用它。 第四段划线词所在句子“Jennifer believes strongly in the benefits, saying that it can be helpful”詹妮弗还是坚信这样做的好处，她说这样做会有帮助。可知，此处的it是指“walking therapy”。并且下文对此进行了详细的解释说明： “We’ll be talking about ‘moving forward’ as we are actually moving forward on the path, building muscle memory of how they can move forward and leave the anxiety behind. ” “我们将谈论“向前迈进”，因为我们实际上是在前进的道路上，建立让他们向前迈进，让焦虑消失的肌肉记忆。”分析句子可知，此处“it”是指与年轻人一起散步并谈话的疗法。分析选项可知，D项（提供边走边谈的治疗方法）符合题意，故选D。
