本文推薦的2016考研英語泛讀文章是關(guān)于心理健康——走出陰影。這是一篇心理學(xué)話題的文章，也是2016考研英語應(yīng)該準(zhǔn)備的重點(diǎn)題材。本文的觀點(diǎn)認(rèn)為：精神疾病的“烙印”正在褪色，患者得到應(yīng)有治療仍需時(shí)日(The stigma of mental illness is fading. But it will take time for sufferers to get the treatment they need)。從社會(huì)角度來看，這是一中積極的變化。來看一下具體內(nèi)容：

For John Mooney, it was a career highlight. In March the Irish cricketer took a crucial catch that gave his team the victory in a World Cup match and eliminated the higher-ranked Zimbabwe. But afterwards the Zimbabwe Herald, a daily paper with links to Zanu-PF, the thuggish ruling party, claimed that Mr Mooney had lied when he said that his foot had not been touching the boundary, meaning the catch should have been disallowed. The article cited previous interviews in which the sportsman had spoken frankly about his long battles with drink, depression and suicidal thoughts. Under pressure, it claimed, a “man of such a character” could not be trusted to have “the honesty, let alone the decency” to tell the truth. 對(duì)約翰·穆尼而言，這是他職業(yè)生涯的巔峰。在三月的一場(chǎng)板球世界杯比賽中，這個(gè)愛爾蘭板球手接住一個(gè)關(guān)鍵球，使得愛爾蘭在比賽中贏得勝利，并且淘汰了排位較高的津巴布韋。但在隨后，一份與殘暴的執(zhí)政黨——津巴布韋非洲民族聯(lián)盟有聯(lián)系的日?qǐng)?bào)《津巴布韋先驅(qū)報(bào)》聲稱，穆尼說他的腳沒有踩到邊線時(shí)撒了謊，這意味著這個(gè)接球應(yīng)該是無效的。該文章還引用了之前一段采訪，采訪中穆尼坦言自己與酒癮、抑郁癥和自殺念頭作斗爭(zhēng)的經(jīng)歷。文章宣稱，”這種性格的男人” 在壓力之下，是不可能讓人相信他具有說真話的“誠實(shí)，更別提尊嚴(yán)了”。

The prospect of such prejudice leads many with mental ailments to conceal their conditions and avoid seeking help. Even if they know better than to believe that mental illnesses are untreatable, or that all sufferers are delusional, they may fear being shunned by friends or employers. Many people think the mentally ill cannot work, but in reality few jobs are off-limits, and only for the most severe cases. What bothered Mr Mooney most about the Zimbabwe Herald article, he says, was that other sufferers might read it and decide never to risk letting anyone know. So he kept talking about his condition. The reaction was heartening. Messages of support and thanks are still coming in. 這種偏見所帶來的后果就是，很多有精神疾病的患者隱瞞他們的情況，并且避免尋求幫助。盡管他們不至于完全相信精神疾病是無法醫(yī)治的，或者認(rèn)為所有患者的病都是妄想出來的，他們害怕的也許被是朋友或雇主有意回避。許多人認(rèn)為精神病患者不能工作，實(shí)際上只有少數(shù)集中工作是對(duì)他們有限制的，而且僅是針對(duì)重癥患者。穆尼說，《津巴布韋先驅(qū)報(bào)》的這篇文章最困擾他的是，其他患者也許會(huì)讀到它，然后決定不冒風(fēng)險(xiǎn)來告訴其他人自己的疾病。所以他不斷地談?wù)撟约旱那闆r。但反響是振奮人心的，支持和感謝的訊息紛至沓來。

More people from all walks of life are opening up about mental illness, says Sophie Corlett of MIND, a British mental-health advocacy group. Campaigns by many governments and charities to get rid of the stigma are part of a virtuous circle in which each person who speaks out lessens ignorance and makes it easier for other sufferers to do so too. 英國心理健康倡導(dǎo)團(tuán)體MIND的索菲·克里特表示，社會(huì)各界對(duì)精神疾病的心態(tài)正日漸開放。由許多政府和慈善機(jī)構(gòu)發(fā)起的“擺脫污名”運(yùn)動(dòng)是良性循環(huán)的一部分，在這個(gè)循環(huán)中，人人疾呼“減少無知”，也使患者更容易擺脫污名。

社會(huì)對(duì)精神疾病的認(rèn)知更加的客觀和理性，政府也將心理健康護(hù)理提上議程。2013年，將近200個(gè)國家批準(zhǔn)通過世界衛(wèi)生組織(WHO)的《精神衛(wèi)生綜合行動(dòng)計(jì)劃》，呼吁2020年之前，能有更多更好的治療手段。自從2012年，英國的國民醫(yī)療保健制度被要求“同等尊重”心理和生理護(hù)理。社會(huì)各界，包括個(gè)人，都越來越重視精神減壓手段的利用。在此，小編提醒2016考研學(xué)子：忙于復(fù)習(xí)的同時(shí)，也要適當(dāng)?shù)姆潘梢幌�，給自己減壓，保持心理和勝利的健康。暑期是2016考研英語復(fù)習(xí)的攻堅(jiān)階段，希望大家再接再厲，考研任重道遠(yuǎn)，加油!
