Books have been used by many to reduce depression.I lose myself into them as thirstily as usually get my morning coffee.Each Christmas,I have a habit of returning to the old favorite books that make up for my emptiness,such as Jane Eyre.Sometimes,to escape from the cold,I run back to the heat that I am used to,so I will read a lot of books set in Africa.

It became important for me to find a way to escape my sadness in the world of books.And isn't that what art and literature is for?According to JJ Bola,the author of No Place to Call Home,"The world can get you so down that you think you're the only person going through what you're going through.But then you read and you realize that you are not alone that if someone else has gone through it and survived,then maybe you can,too.”It is this survival that the reader looks for,that is,the understanding that the winter is not so long after all.

答案解析：

6. D. Cold and wet seasons.

解析：根据文章第一段，“In 2016. I suffered from Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) a form of depression(抑郁症) that is found to make people feel low in the UK between September and April.”(2016年，我患上了季节性情绪失调(SAD)，这是一种在英国9月至4月间会让人感到低落的抑郁症。)这表明作者生病的原因可能与寒冷潮湿的季节有关。因此，选项D“寒冷潮湿的季节”是正确答案。

7. D. drive away emptiness

解析：根据文章第二段，“Each Christmas, I have a habit of returning to the old favorite books that make up for my emptiness, such as Jane Eyre.”(每年圣诞节，我都有重读那些填补我空虚的老书的习惯，比如《简·爱》。)这表明作者喜欢读老书是因为它们能帮助他驱走空虚感。因此，选项D“驱走空虚”是正确答案。

8. B. Out of Africa

解析：根据文章第二段，“Sometimes, to escape from the cold, I run back to the heat that I am used to, so I will read a lot of books set in Africa.”(有时，为了逃离寒冷，我会回到我所习惯的温暖中，所以我会读很多以非洲为背景的书。)这表明当作者感到寒冷时，他可能会读以非洲为背景的书。虽然选项中并没有直接提到“Out of Africa”这本书名，但根据语境可以推断出作者可能会读类似主题的书，而选项中B项“Out of Africa”(走出非洲)与非洲背景相符，且为一部著名作品，故可推断为正确答案(尽管这里存在一定的假设性，但根据题目要求和提供的信息，B项是最合适的答案)。需要注意的是，原文并未直接提及作者会读哪本具体的书，因此此题答案基于语境推断。

9. A. finds a way to escape his sadness

解析：根据文章第三段，“It became important for me to find a way to escape my sadness in the world of books.”(在书的世界里找到逃避悲伤的方法对我来说变得很重要。)这表明作者通过阅读找到了逃避悲伤的方法。因此，选项A“找到逃避悲伤的方法”是正确答案。

10. A. Reading Reduces Depression

解析：文章主要讲述了作者如何通过阅读来减轻季节性情绪失调(SAD)带来的抑郁感。文章多次提到阅读对缓解抑郁的作用，如第一段提到作者在寒冷潮湿的季节通过阅读获得安慰，第二段提到作者通过重读老书来填补空虚感，第三段则直接表达了阅读对逃避悲伤的重要性。因此，选项A“阅读减轻抑郁”最能概括文章主旨，是最佳标题。其他选项虽然与文章内容有关，但都不是文章的核心主题。
