One day, when I was working as a psychologist in England，an adolescent boy showed up in my office. It was David. He kept walking up and down restlessly, his face pale, and his hands shaking slightly. His head teacher had referred him to me. "This boy has lost his family," he wrote. "He is understandably very sad and refuses to talk to others, and I"m very worried about him. Can you help?”
I looked at David and showed him to a chair. How could I help him? There are problems psychology doesn’t have the answer to, and which no words can describe. Sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and sympathetically
The first two times we met, David didn"t say a word. He sat there, only looking up to look at the children"s drawings on the wall behind me. I suggested we play a game of chess. He nodded. After that he played chess with me every Wednesday afternoon-in complete silence and without looking at me. It"s not easy to cheat in chess, but I admit I made sure David won once or twice.
Usually, he arrived earlier than agreed, took the chess board and pieces from the shelf and began setting them up before I even got a chance to sit down. It seemed as if he enjoyed my company. But why did he never look at me?
"Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with," I thought. "Perhaps he senses that I respect his suffering.” Some months later, when we were playing chess, he looked up at me suddenly.
"It’s your turn," he said.
After that day, David started talking. He got friends in school and joined a bicycle club. He wrote to me a few times about his biking with some friends, and about his plan to get into university. Now he had really started to live his own life.
Maybe I gave David something. But I also learned that one-without any words-can reach out to another person. All it takes is a hug, a shoulder to cry on, a friendly touch, and an ear that listens.

解析

小题1:细节理解题 可以运用常识解题。根据第一段的his hands shaking slightly“手在发抖”可以知道答案。此题易错选B，因为文中有一句话是这样说的 kept walking up and down restlessly.如果选它，不符合文章中提及David有心理问题的情况。类似的也可以排除A和D。
小题2:细节理解题根据第二段最后一句“第二段中"Sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and sympathetically.”不能得出答案。属于原词重现。
小题3:细节理解题根据 perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with 可以得出答案。属于原词重现。
小题4:细节理解题根据后文的表达 David 开始和作者交谈，交上朋友，加入自行车俱乐部，这些都说明他已经痊愈了。其中BCD的先后顺序与文章得表达不符。
小题5:细节理解题，根据文章最后一段的内容all it takes is a hug, a shoulder to cry on, a friendly touch, and an ear that listens.可以知道答案。此外，文章多次出现“didn’t say a word; nodded; silence”这些词语。属于上下义重现。
