【题目】 Don't tell anyone: is likely a phrase you have heard before of after someone tells you a secret. But why is it so hard not to spill the beans? One Baylor College of Medicine expert explains why this is a challenge.
“Secrets often include something that someone does not take pride in. They've chosen someone to tell the secret, but don't want other people to know about it because they feel like if it gets out it could damage (破坏) their fame,” said Dr. Asim, Shah, professor in the Meninger Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Baylor. “However, it can be hard for the person to keep that to themselves because it may become a burden(负担).”
As soon as you tell somebody not to repeat your secret, people want to share it with somebody, Shah explained. Also most people have a confidant (知已), so when you share information with yours, keep in mind that they likely will share it with their own confidants.
With secrets so often getting out, why do people share them in the first place? One reason is that people often feel like it will help them keep close friendship with others, Shah said. However,connecting telling someone your secrets with how close you are to them is not always advisable. It is important for people to understand that they can have close relationships without sharing their secrets unnecessarily.
Another reason why people often tell a secret is that they feel guilty for keeping it, Shah said.For example, if your friend tells you a secret but you do not share it with your close friends, you may feel guilty for not telling them. If you do not share certain things with your close family members, a sense of distrust can develop. Keeping or sharing secrets often puts people in a position of either gaining or losing the trust of someone.
He added that people who are more talkative may by accident let a secret out but that does not necessarily mean it is a good idea to share secrets with someone who is quieter. If somebody is quiet and keeps everything in, it may cause them to have more stress, and finally they will talk to somebody.
If you do not want to be responsible(负责的) for keeping someone's secret, it is best to be honest and tell the the person you do not want to know his or her secret.
“If you end up accidentally sharing a secret with somebody else, it is best to be honest and let the person know that you shared his or her secret," Shah said.

【解析】
文章大意:保守秘密很难,有可能成为一种负担。因此人们常常急切地想与他人分享秘密,而我们也常常会将秘密告诉自己信任的人。两人之间分享秘密往往会令彼此更加亲密,不过不小心把秘密说漏嘴的情况,也时有发生。
【1】词义猜测题。根据前句Don't tell anyone: is likely a phrase you have heard before of after someone tells you a secret.不要告诉任何人:很可能是在有人告诉你一个秘密之后,是你以前听过的一句话和后句One Baylor College of Medicine expert explains why this is a challenge.一位贝勒医学院的专家解释了为什么这是一个挑战可知,我们也经常想把保守的秘密透露出去,也就是说“不分享秘密是难的”,所以划线部分的意思应为“分享秘密”,故答案为A。
【2】细节理解题。根据文中Secrets often include something that someone does not take pride in. They've chosen someone to tell the secret, but don't want other people to know about it because they feel like if it gets out it could damage (破坏) their fame.可知,秘密往往包括一些别人不引以为豪的东西,所以他们觉得如果泄露出去会损害他们的名声,故答案为D。
【3】细节理解题。根据文中It is important for people to understand that they can have close relationships without sharing their secrets unnecessarily.可知,真正的友谊不应当基于是否分享他们的秘密,故答案为C。
【4】细节理解题。根据文中“If you end up accidentally sharing a secret with somebody else, it is best to be honest and let the person know that you shared his or her secret," Shah said.如果你最终意外地与他人分享了一个秘密,最好是诚实,让对方知道你分享了他或她的秘密可知,如果一个朋友跟别人分享了你的秘密,是可以理解的,故答案为B。
