Anxiety is the appropriate(適當(dāng)?shù)模〆motion when the immediate personal terror—of a volcano, an arrow, a stab(刺傷)in the back and other disasters, all directed against one’s self-disappears.

       The kind of world that produces anxiety is actually a world of relative safety, a world in which no one feels that he himself is facing sudden death. The anxiety exists as an uneasy state of mind, in which one has a feeling that something unspecified(不具體的)and indeterminable may go wrong. If the world seems to be going well, this produces anxiety—for good times may end. If the world is going badly—it may get worse. Anxiety tends to be without focus; the anxious person doesn’ t know whether to blame himself or other people. He isn’t sure whether it is the current year of the administration or a change in climate or the atom bomb that is to blame for this undefined sense of unease.

       It is clear that we have developed a society which depends on having the right amount of anxiety to make it work…While we agree that too much anxiety is harmful to mental health, we have come to rely on anxiety to push us into seeing a doctor about a symptom(癥狀)which may indicate cancer, into checking up on that old life-insurance policy which may have out-of-date provisions in it, into having a conference with Billy’s teacher even though his report card looks all right.

       People who are anxious enough keep their car insurance up, have the brakes checked, don’t take a second drink when they have to drive. People who are too anxious either refuse to go into cars at all—and so complicate the ordinary course of life—or drive so tensely and carefully that they help cause accidents. People who aren’t anxious enough take chance after chance, which increases the terrible accidents of the roads.

62.The author holds that      .

     A.a(chǎn)nxiety is a good thing                

B.a(chǎn)nxiety is a symptom of mental illness

     C.some anxiety can lead to changes for the better  

D.no anxiety is bad for society

63. According to the author, accidents of the road tend to be caused by     .

     A.a(chǎn)ll those who are too anxious             

B.a(chǎn)ll those who have anxiety

     C.those who have no anxiety                 

D.those who are not anxious enough

64. The best title for the passage would be     .

     A.One Man’s Thought about Anxiety     

B.The Right Amount of Anxiety

     C.Anxiety and Safety                            

D.Different Attitudes to Anxiety

Have you ever been in a situation, where you felt uneasy because of something you think you may have forgotten to do or perhaps a feeling that you annoyed someone whom you wanted to get along with really well. If you have experienced such feelings and worse on a regular basis, then you most probably are a victim of anxiety attacks.

All of us, to some extent, have experienced anxiety at different levels. There are somethings you may know about anxiety, and some things that you may not be familiar with. So in order to be prepared for your unexpected feeling of anxiety, you need to get to know what anxiety is before it escalates into a panic attack.

Anxiety is simply the feeling of discomfort, uneasiness or fear of what may eventually happen resulting from an imagined, or a real threatening condition. On the extreme end panic attacks can occur due to heightened(增加) feelings of anxiety.

There are two main symptoms(癥狀) during an anxiety / panic attack and these are physical and emotional symptoms. Physical symptoms include difficulty in breathing, shaking, direct feeling of heat, rapid heartbeat and tiredness while emotional symptoms deal with worrying, depression, fear, and lack of focus.

In spite of the negative impression we have for anxiety, it is not dangerous in any way whatever. The feeling of anxiety is not bad, in fact it’s more of a defensive feeling which protects us from possible danger by engaging a response within us in fight or fight situations. So it’s not the “bad guy”, you just have to learn how to control it. Panic attacks, however, are far more dangerous and should be a concern to your health. Panic can sometimes result in blurred (模糊不清的) vision, difficulty in breathing due to a tight chest. The best way to different anxiety from any serious illness is to ask a medical expert for advice on a regular basis.

       A. as serious as an anxiety attack                 B. not so serious as an anxiety attack

The underlined word “escalates” in the second paragraph means “_______________”.

A victim of anxiety attacks may have the symptoms that ______________.

       A. he doesn’t want to have anything to eat

       B. he has trouble in hearing and vision

       C. he is always worried about others

       D. he can’t pay attention to what he does

From the passage we can draw a conclusion that ______________.

       A. an anxiety attack does good to us            B. an anxiety attack does no harm to us

       C. an anxiety attack is a serious illness         D. an anxiety attack is very dangerous

What is the best title for this passage?
