（A） For most of us, the purpose of the holidays is to bring peace, love, and relaxtion. Yet, for many, the holiday season often means pressure, disappointment. These feelings, often known as the “holiday blues”, may be very popular. Experts say even the work of shopping, late-night parties, doing chores, planning and family parties can be holiday pressure. “Holidays don’t mean people are going to be happy,” says Dr. Doug Jacobs of Harvard University. “And this will be a special hard holiday for some who are dealing with a lost job, money, or even a lost loved one.” With family meetings becoming less often over the years, there is now the new pressure of getting just one chance to get it all right. Families are much more different now. Sometimes family members may feel disappointed because their dream haven’t come true after the meeting. Still, say experts, we should talk about the blues. The most important step is for people to know their feelings and the reason for their unhappiness. “If not, they will have greater pressure.” Experts suggest people do things that are easy or simple in order to deal with the holiday pressure. “If they’re feeling a little blue, they should try to do things by themselves. Maybe this is exercise, cooking, reading a book, or massage.” 阅读短文，根据短文内容选择正确的选项。 ( ) 1. The underlined words “holiday blues” mean “ ”? in Chinese? A. 蓝色假日 B. 浪漫假日 C. 假日忧伤 D. 短期假日 ( ) 2.
