現(xiàn)象說明類說明文主要用于介紹一種社會或自然現(xiàn)象。典型的現(xiàn)象說明類說明文通常會先描述現(xiàn)象,然后分析造成該現(xiàn)象的原因,進(jìn)而介紹該現(xiàn)象帶來的影響,最后作者發(fā)表觀點,對該現(xiàn)象進(jìn)行反思,并提出解決問題的方法和建議。但部分現(xiàn)象說明類說明文只分析現(xiàn)象的成因,并未介紹該現(xiàn)象造成的影響,而有些現(xiàn)象說明類說明文則著重介紹現(xiàn)象造成的影響。
(1)巧用彩色筆細(xì)品文章。借助彩色筆對文本的不同部分進(jìn)行標(biāo)注。用黃色筆標(biāo)注對現(xiàn)象的介紹,用綠色筆標(biāo)注現(xiàn)象的成因,用紫色筆標(biāo)注現(xiàn)象的影響,用橙色筆標(biāo)注解決方案和建議,然后根據(jù)標(biāo)注情況,進(jìn)行仿寫。
(2)利用“PAS 原則”搭建文本框架,搭建讀寫支架。“PAS 原則”即Present the phenomenon—Analyse the phenomenon—Solve the problem。這一原則完整地概括了呈現(xiàn)現(xiàn)象、分析現(xiàn)象、解決問題的整體思維過程。但部分現(xiàn)象說明類說明文通常不會直接給出解決問題的方案,讀者需要通過批判性、創(chuàng)新性思考才能得到解決方案。在閱讀現(xiàn)象說明類說明文時,我們可以利用“PAS原則”,以輔助我們厘清文章結(jié)構(gòu)和梳理基本信息,抓住文章段落的主旨大意。

A dangerous,common form of depression not talked about enough
It is well known that depression is characterized by visible outbursts: crying a lot, feeling sad and losing interest in what was once pleasure activity.However, another term “smiling depression”—appearing happy to others while actually suffering depressive symptoms has been around for some time.
It can be hard to spot people suffering smiling depression because they may seem like they don't have a reason to be sad—they have a decent job and a wonderful family. They smile when you greet them and can carry pleasant conversations. In short, they tend to put on a mask to the outside world while leading seemingly normal and active lives. When it comes to the inside, however, they often have intense feelings of worthlessness and helplessness,sometimes even having thoughts of ending it all.
Smiling depression partly stems from people who are often reluctant to seek help because of the stigma(恥辱)against mental illness. They feel ashamed of seeing a psychologist. They quietly hold their stress and sadness within, which undoubtedly creates a form of emotional paralysis(癱瘓)that keeps them stuck in unhappy situations.
Some negative consequences include overeating, feeling a sense of heaviness in the arms and legs, etc. People suffering smiling depression are often seized by anxiety, dread,or simmering sadness,which in the long run increases the risk of heart disease,strokes and dementia. They are more likely to feel depressed in the evening and feel the need to sleep longer. With common forms of depression, however, people's mood might be worse in the morning and they might feel the need for less sleep than usual.
So how can they break this circle? Much attention should be paid to cope with it. A starting point is to admit this condition. Only when they stop ignoring their problems can they start making an actual difference. Then they can find purposes by taking the attention away from themselves and placing it onto something else. Feeling that their lives matter is finally what gives them purposes and meaning—and this can make a significant difference to their mental health and well-being. Furthermore, they should turn to family members,friends and even psychologists for help.
Our quiet stress is harmful to our mental health. Expressing our true feeling is far healthier than smiling sweetly while we are feeling quietly stresse D.

2. People suffering smiling depression are often seized by anxiety, dread, or simmering sadness, which in the long run increases the risk of heart disease, strokes and dementia.患有微笑抑郁癥的人總會感到焦慮、恐懼或者被一種即將爆發(fā)的悲傷所籠罩,從長遠(yuǎn)來看,這會增加患心臟疾病、中風(fēng)和癡呆的風(fēng)險。
