Adolescence is supposed to be full of ups and downs.But when the downs
become persistent and obvious，it may signal a more serious psychological
condition.Between 6% ~ 8% of American teenagers suffer from major depression，a
disease that sometimes leads to suicide.Major depression can often be
successfully treated—if it is recognized.But diagnosis is especially difficult
in teens.
Teenagers can be and are uncommunicative.And some behaviors that parents
may interpret as rebellious behaviors may in fact be serious symptoms of
depression.
Although it can be difficult to distinguish from the typical growing pains
of adolescence，there are some warning signs of major depression that parents
should be aware of.If a teenager is trying to avoid relationships or constantly
becomes seriously angry，more than normal teenage rebellion may be going on.In
addition，frequently getting into trouble is another warning sign.Teenagers who
begin to engage in serious antisocial behavior，whether it be drugs or sexual
activity，etc.，often suffer from serious underlying depression.The warning signs
can be difficult enough to recognize;but the problem of identifying major
depression in teens is further complicated by the fact that even these ambiguous
signs are not always present.
The greatest danger associated with major depression is the possibility of
suicide.Suicide is the third leading cause of death among Americans between the
ages of 15 and 24.After a suicide，loss and guilt are two feelings that family
members must come to terms with.In half the cases of teen suicides，there was no
suspicion that the victim had such serious feelings of depression.But
afterward，it is common for loved ones to remember signs they may have missed and
blame themselves for not intervening.
One expert recommends that the families of suicide victims seek support
from each other，their friends，and professional counselors.Although friends may
not like to speak about the suicide with the victim‘s family，allowing the family
to talk is critical.For the most part，they desperately want to be able to tell
their story.

参考答案：
1. 意为：年轻人情绪不稳定。这句话的意思是：青春期被认为是充满了起伏不定的情绪的。根据下文，这里所说的“起伏不定”指情绪的起伏不定。
2.
第二段的两个句子是对第一段最后一句的具体说明，解释了难以辨别青少年是否患有心理压抑疾病的原因，即：某些症状经常被误认为是其他心理反应，而不是心理压抑的表现。第三段更具体地说明了这种困难。
3. 第三段第三句提到，经常出问题也是一个警告信号。根据上文，这里所谓“警告信号”即指warning signs of major
depression.
4. 参阅第四段最后一句。这句中的“干预”实际上指解决孩子的心理压抑问题。
5. 参阅最后一段第二、三句。
