Brian Walker chews pens.He bites them so hard that his boss has warned him to stop or buy his own.Katie’s weakness is more acceptable—she is unable to walk past a cake shop without overeating.Sophia Cartier finds her cigarette habit a headache,while Alice’s thumb-sucking drives her boy friend crazy.Four people with very different habits,but they all share a common problem anxiety disorder or,in serious cases.Obsessive Compulsive Disorder(OCD).

From nail-biting to too much hand-washing,overeating and internet addiction(上癮)，OCD is widespread in almost every workplace and countless homes.“It is a relatively common form of anxiety,”says Dr.Mootee.“The main feature of OCD is the repetition of unwanted obsersive(過度的) thoughts such as worries that doors are left unlocked,gas or electrical appliances are left on.”In order to fight against the anxiety and distress caused by these obsessions,an OCD sufferer performs some form of repetitive act such as hand-washing,checking door locks and gas or electrical appliances.

Dr.Mootee says that repetitive washing,particularly of the hands,is the most common type of OCD.She has treated many patients who wash their hands up to 30 times a day.The technique Mootee uses to treat people with OCD is called cognitive-behavioral therapy(認知行為療法).“It is based on the general idea that people have the ability to change the way they think and behave,”says Mootee.

But when does a habit become a problem?“It’s personal,”says Mootee.“Everyone has something unusual,but if you can’t put up with it,then it’s a problem and you need to do something to change it.”Mootee says many people resist going for treatment because they fear they are “crazy”.But as people become more knowledgeable about these problems they will go and get help.The only way to cure is to conquer.

If a person suffers from OCD,he is likely to keep doing any of the following EXCEPT ______.

A.chewing pens                                                B.hurting himself

C.sucking fingers                                             D.biting nails

According to the passage,a person suffering from OCD ______.

A.reduces his/her anxiety by taking drugs

B.gets into unwanted habits to relieve stress

C.has unwanted thoughts about habits

D.has unwanted thoughts because of illness

Dr.Mootee’s treating technique is based on the idea that ______.

A.everyone has something different

B.people can put up with their problems

C.people can change their way of thinking and action

D.people tend to repeat their obsessive actions

By saying“The only way to cure is to conquer.”Dr.Mootee suggests that an OCD sufferer ______.

A.has to be an extraordinary person

B.must cure his illness by himself

C.must overcome many physical illnesses

D.should have a right attitude towards the problem

Karen,grown up in a very traditional family in the western United States,maintained high moral(道德的) standards throughout her youth.In 1984,at the age of 23,she married Bill.They were blessed with two children,a boy and a girl.

By 1991 their love had deepened,and they were happy.Later that year,Bill developed a white spot on his tongue.He visited a doctor.

One day shortly after that,Bill called Karen to sit beside him.He said with tears in his eyes that he loved her and wanted to live forever with her.The doctor suspected that he had been infected with HIV,the virus that leads to AIDS.

The family was tested,Bill and Karen’s results were positive.Bill had become infected before he met Karen;then he passed the virus on to Karen.The children’s results were negative.Within three years,Bill was dead.“I don’t know how to express what it is like to watch the once handsome man you love and intend to live with forever dying slowly.I cried many nights.He died three months short of ten years of our marriage,”says Karen.Though a doctor told Karen that she would soon follow her husband into death,she is still alive.The infection has progressed to the early stages of AIDS.

Karen is but one of about 30 million people now living with HIV/AIDS,a figure larger than the combined populations of Australia,Ireland and Paraguay.According to one UN report,Africa has 21 million of these victims.By the turn of the century that number could reach   40   million and the disease will bring on the greatest disaster in human history.Of the world’s sexually active adults aged 15 to 49,1 in 100 has already been infected with HIV.Of these,only 1 in 10 realizes that he or she is infected.In some parts of Africa,25 percent of the adults are infected.

Since the beginning of the spread of AIDS in 1981,about 11.7 million people have died of it.It is roughly calculated that in 1997 alone,about 2.3 million people died of it.Nevertheless,there are fresh reasons for optimism in the battle against AIDS.During the past few years,there has been a drop in new AIDS cases in wealthy nations.In addition,promising drugs hold out hope of better health and longer life.

By telling the story of Karen,the author intends to ______.

A.warn people against high risk behaviors

B.stress the importance of medical tests

C.express sympathy for AIDS victims

D.show the consequences of AIDS

The underlined part in Paragraph 1 most probably means “_______”.

A.were lucky in having

B.were asked to adopt

C.regretted having

D.gave birth to

Bill was suspected of being infected with HIV after ______.

A.he got married to Karen

B.the family members were tested

C.Karen persuaded him to see the doctor

D.he found something wrong with his tongue

It can be concluded from the passage that ______.

A.promising drugs will soon stop AIDS

B.the spread of AIDS could be controlled

C.it is hopeless to win the battle against AIDS

D.the death rate of AIDS patients has been reduced

As societies develop,their members start to see things not so much according to what they need,but according to what they want.When people have enough money,these wants become demands.

Now,it’s important for the managers in a company to understand what their customers want if they are going to develop effective marketing strategies(策略).There are various ways of doing this.One way at supermarkets(超市),for example,is to interview(采訪)customers while they’re doing their shopping.They can be asked what they prefer to buy and then the results of the research can be studied.This provides information on which to base future marketing strategies.It’s also quite normal for top managers from department stores to spend a day or two each month visiting stores and mixing freely with the public,as if they were ordinary customers,to get an idea of how customers act.

Another way to get information from customers is to give them something.For example,some fast food restaurants give away tickets in magazines or on the street that permit customers to get part of their meal for nothing.As well as being a good way of attracting customers into the restaurants to spend their money,it also allows the managers to get a feel for where to attract customers and which age-groups to attract.

Another strategy used at some well-known parks such as Disneyland is for top managers to spend at least one day in their work,touring the park dressed as Mickey Mouse or something like that.This provides them with a perfect chance to examine the scene and watch the customers without being noticed.

The text is designed for ________.

A.managers                                                     B.salesmen

C.researchers                                                   D.customers

Which of the following can help managers get useful information?

A.Visiting customers themselves.

B.Giving customers free food on the street.

C.Visiting parks as ordinary customers.

D.Asking customers questions at supermarkets.

What does the word“this”underlined in the last sentence refer to?

A.Visiting Disneyland.

B.Wearing attractive clothes.

C.Acting Mickey Mouse.

D.Dressing up and walking around.

The main idea of the text is ________.

A.how to do market research

B.how to develop marketing strategies

C.how to find out customers’ social needs

D.how to encourage customers to spend more money
