【解析】

這是一篇議論文。文章講述了一種處理情緒的辦法—治愈寫作法。

【1】

根據上文 People work under the direction of a therapist (治療學家) for most of the time.可知，大多數情況下他們在治療學家的指導下工作，根據邏輯推理可知，剩下的時間可能不需要指導。D. Sometimes they can start a writing program independently.有時他們可以獨立開始寫作，承接上文，故選D。

【2】

根據上文A client who is having trouble with a situation, for example, might write a letter to the people involved as part of therapy可知，例如，一個有問題的客戶，可以寫一封信給當事人，作為治療的一部分；再根據下文Besides, it works on how to approach the people in real life to settle the issue.可知，此外，它致力于如何接近現實中的人們來解決問題。由此可知，上句應該是客戶寫信的作用。F. This writing can help him or her express goals and a desired result clearly. 這種寫作可以幫助他或她清楚地表達目標和期望的結果。承上啟下，故選F。

【3】

根據上文In guided therapy, the therapist may review the writing and discuss it with the patient.可知，在指導治療中，治療師可能會回顧文章，并與患者討論。由此推斷下文應該是治療師和患者之間的互動。E. Of course, patients can talk about the emotions that come up while writing. 當然，病人可以談論在寫作時出現的情緒。承接上文，故選E。

【4】

上文Some people keep writing regular journals to share with their therapists and others. 可知，有些人堅持定期寫日志，與他們的治療師和其他人分享。G. Others may keep an online writing journal and only allow his or her therapist to read. 還有一些人可能在網上寫日記，但只允許他或她的治療師閱讀。根據這兩句Some people和Others的線索，選項G引起下文，故選G。

【5】

根據最后一段中People may keep personal journals or diaries intended for their private use可知，人們可能會保留個人日志或為私人使用的日記；再根據Some add a self-directed group therapy aspect as well by sharing their writing with friends who can provide advice. 有些人加入了團體治療，并與朋友分享作品，朋友們可以提供建議。由此可知文章最后一段講的是人們寫作的方法，B. There are informal approaches to writing as therapy. 有一些非正式的寫作方法可以作為治療，總結全段，故選B。
