For a long time, many psychologists embraced a victim narrative about trauma, believing that severe stress causes long-lasting and perhaps irreparable damage to one's psyche and health. In 1980, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) was added to the list of mental disorders and has since received a lot of attention in the media and among ordinary individuals trying to understand what happens to people in the wake of tragic life events. Yet psychologists now know that only a small percentage of people develop the full-blown disorder while, on average, anywhere from one half to two-thirds of trauma survivors exhibit what's known as post-traumatic growth. After a crisis, most people acquire a newfound sense of purpose, develop deeper relationships, have a greater appreciation of life, and report other benefits. In American culture, when people are feeling depressed or anxious, they are often advised to do what makes them happy; they are encouraged to distract themselves from bad news and difficult feelings, to limit their time on social media and to exercise. However, the happy feelings one gets by doing pleasant things fade fast, and soon the sad mood takes over, plunging one into a deeper abyss of melancholy. A better strategy to cope with trauma has to do with meaning-seeking. When people search for meaning, they often do not feel happy, because the things that make our lives meaningful, like volunteering or working, are stressful and require effort. But months later, the meaning seekers not only reported fewer negative moods but also felt more enriched, inspired and part of something greater than themselves. Therefore, although none of us can avoid suffering, we can still learn to suffer well.

如果我們形容一個人在經歷挫折後獲得了「成長」，你認為他對這段辛苦歷程的評價，會是覺得這一切掙扎都毫無意義、純屬徒勞，還是會從中提煉出某種讓自己變得更充實或更有方向感的價值呢？

太棒了！你能精準辨識出選項中語意邏輯的差異，這代表你對文章中「創傷後成長」（post-traumatic growth）的內涵有著很深刻的理解，非常值得肯定。
創傷後的轉機與重塑
根據文中第一段末尾的描述，人在經歷危機後往往會獲得「新的目標感（newfound sense of purpose）」、「更深厚的人際關係（deeper relationships）」以及「對生命更深刻的體會（greater appreciation of life）」。選項 (B)、(C)、(D) 分別精準對應了文中的這些正面轉變。而正確答案 (A) To awaken to the futility of all struggles 意指體悟到所有掙扎都是「徒勞無功」的，這帶有一種消極的虛無感，顯然與文中強調透過努力「尋求意義」與「心靈充實」的積極導向背道而馳。
