Anxiety is the proper emotion when the immediate personal terror — of a volcano, an arrow, a stab(刺伤)in the back and other disasters — is 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(不具体的)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 a change in climate or the atom bomb that is to blame for this unclear 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(症状)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 Bill’s teacher even though his report card looks all right.
People who are anxious enough keep their car insurance up, have the brakes checked, and don’t take a second drink when they have to drive. People who are too anxious either refuse to go into cars at all or drive so tensely that they help cause accidents. People who aren’t anxious enough take chance after chance, which increases the terrible accidents of the roads.
1.In the world that produces anxiety, _____.
A. people have sudden uneasiness B. everything goes well
C. people are clear about their life D. danger is almost everywhere
2.The author holds that _____.
A. anxiety is a good thing
B. anxiety is a symptom of mental illness
C. some anxiety can lead to changes for the better
D. no anxiety is bad for society
3.Accidents of the road tend to be caused by _____.
A. all those who are too anxious B. all those who have anxiety
C. those who have no anxiety D. those who are not anxious enough
4.The best title for the passage would be _____.
A. Anxiety B. The Right Amount of Anxiety
C. Anxiety vs Safety D. Different Attitudes to Anxiety

高三英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析
As unpleasant emotions go, anxiety is the roughest. It's a vague, pit-of-the-stomach fear that sneaks up to you -- that unease you get when your boss says that she needs to talk to you right away, when the phone rings at 4:00 a.m., or when your dentist looks into your mouth and says "Hmm" for the third time.
Lingering anxiety can keep you up at night, make you irritable, undermine your ability to concentrate, and ruin your appetite. And the constant state of readiness generated by anxiety--- adrenaline pumping, heart racing, palms sweating--may contribute to high blood pressure and heart disease.
How to prevent anxiety then?
Meditate. Maybe you're just high-strung. If so, meditation(冥想) is worth a try. It cultivates a calmness that eases anxious feelings and offers a sense of control. A study at the University of Massachusetts found that volunteers who took an 8-week meditation course were considerably less anxious afterward. People who are high-strung find that they are dramatically calmer with 20 minutes of meditation in the morning and another 20 minutes after dinner.
Jog,walk, swim, or cycle. If you can't make time for meditation, be sure to make time for regular exercise. Exercise can have the same calming effect as meditation, particularly if it's something repetitive like running or swimming laps.
Treatment?
Remember to breathe. When you're anxious, you tend to hold your breath or breathe too shallowly. That makes you feel more anxious. Breathing slowly and deeply can have a calming effect. To make sure that you're breathing correctly, place your hand on your diaphragm(横膈膜), just below your rib cage(胸腔). Feel it rise with each inhalation(吸气) and fall with each exhalation.
Let's say you are anxious about your competence on the job. Ask yourself "What, in particular, am I afraid that I'll mess up?" Maybe you’re afraid that you get further behind and miss your deadlines. Or maybe you're worried that you're blowing it whenever you present your ideas in meetings. Are your worries founded? Have you had several near misses with deadlines? Are your suggestions routinely rejected? If not, the anxiety is needless. If there is a real problem, work on a solution: Pace yourself to better meet deadlines, or join a public speaking class.
1.Which of the following symptoms is NOT directly caused by anxiety?
A.Lower in concentration. B.No appetite.
C.Heart racing. D.High blood pressure.
2.According to the passage, what can be done to avoid anxiety?
A.Exercising regularly. B.Keeping breath steady.
C.Breathing with the help of hands. D.Adjusting the pace of life.
3.What is the last paragraph about?
A.Anxiety at work and its solutions. B.People's anxiety about their capabilities.
C.The reason for someone's incompetence. D.The function of public speaking class.

The term, culture shock, describes the anxiety produced when a person moves to a completely new environment. This term expresses the lack of direction, the feeling of not knowing what to do, and not knowing what is appropriate or inappropriate. The feeling of culture shock generally sets in after the first few weeks of coming to a new place.
We can describe culture shock as the physical and emotional discomfort one suffers when coming to live in another country or place. Often, the way that we lived before is not accepted as or considered as normal in the new place. Everything is different, for example, not speaking the language, not knowing how to use banking machines and so forth.
Although one can experience real pain from culture shock, it is also an opportunity for resetting one' s life objectives. It is a great opportunity for learning and acquiring new viewpoints. Culture shock can make one develop a better understanding of oneself.
Culture shock has many stages. The first stage is called the "honeymoon" stage. The new arrival may feel excited as everything is new.
In the second stage, a person may encounter some difficult times in daily life. For example, communication difficulties may occur such as not being understood. There may be feelings of discontent, anger, sadness, and feeling incompetence. This happens when a person is trying to adapt to a new culture. Transition (过渡) between the old methods and those of the new country is a difficult process and takes time to complete.
The third stage is characterized by gaining some understanding of the new culture. One may start to feel a certain psychological balance. The new arrival may start to have a feeling of direction and want to belong.
In the fourth stage, the person realizes that the new culture has good and bad things to offer. The person has a more solid feeling of belonging and starts to set goals for living.
The fifth stage is called the " re-entry shock". This occurs when a return to the
country of origin is made. One may find that things are no longer the same. For example, some of the newly acquired customs are not in use in the old culture.
Many factors (因素) contribute to the length and effects of culture shock. For example, the individual's state of mental health, type of personality, previous experiences, familiarity with the language, and level of education. So the five stages are present at different times and each person has their own way of reacting. 64. What do we learn about culture shock?
1.What do we learn about culture shock?
A. It has negative effect on people.
B. Its effect can differ from person to person.
C. It disappears when people return to their homelands.
D. It can be avoided if one can understand the language.
2.Which stage of culture shock is Tommy in?
Tommy moved to France with his parents two months ago.
But now he still can not get used to the life there.
He also has problems in schooling.
Even worse, he doesn't think anybody cares about him.
A. Stage 2. B. Stage 3.
C. Stage 4. D. Stage 5.
3. The main purpose of the passage is to________
A. discuss and clarify B. argue and advise
C. introduce and explain D. compare and evaluate

My daughter, who is thirteen, is not a emotional person. Imagine how surprising
I was the other day when she told me that she had been given a school friend of hers
a hug every day. That was why she realized the girl “wasn’t getting a lot love at home”.
It seems that she not only reached out to her friends these days but to her teachers
and other children as well as. I thought that was awesome! So, I gave she a card for
her act of kindness and told her all for it. She liked the idea very much that she decided
to find someone else to give the card so they could continue passing it forward!

A punctual person is in the habit of doing a thing at the proper time and is never late in keeping an appointment. The unpunctual man, on the other hand, never does what he has to do at the proper time. He is always in a hurry and in the end loses both time and his good name. A lost thing may be found again, but lost time can never be regained. Time is more valuable than material things. In fact, time is life itself. The unpunctual man is forever wasting and mismanaging his most valuable asset(财产)as well as others’. The unpunctual person is always complaining that he finds no time to answer letters, or return calls or keep appointments promptly. But the man who really has a great deal to do is very careful of his time and seldom complains of want of it. He knows that he cannot get through his huge amount of work unless he faithfully keeps every piece of work when it has to be attended to.
Failure to be punctual in keeping one’s appointments is a sign of disrespect towards others. If a person is invited to dinner and arrives later than the appointed time, he keeps all the other guests waiting for him. Usually this will be regarded as a great disrespect to the host and all other guests present.
Unpunctuality, moreover, is very harmful when it comes to do one’s duty, whether public or private. Imagine how it would be if those who are put in chare of important tasks failed to be at their proper places at the appointed time. A man who is known to be habitually unpunctual is never trusted by his friends or fellow men.

Anxiety is tough to deal with at the best of time. It’s even tougher when we’re in the midst of apandemic (大流行病) that is causing chaos around the globe. Here are some simple steps that will help you take back control of the situation.
Stay away from the news. Constantly reading, watching, or checking the news only makes your anxiety grow stronger. 1. Before you know it, your work breaks turn into checking the latest news on coronavirus (冠状病毒) on your phone. Because it’s easier to nip (阻止) a bad habit in the bud, try to limit the amount of time you spend watching the news.
Distract (使分心) yourself. 2. We can’t panic about coronavirus and at the same time be absorbed by a work project. So next time a worrying thought creeps into your mind, try to distract yourself. lt can be with work, taking a shower, or even watching a silly YouTube video.
Choose what you focus on. It’s a difficult time, because we’re isolated and many of us feel lonely and helpless. Instead of thinking about social isolation and the difficulties, which can make us depressed, you are supposed to change the focus. Is there something you’ve always wanted to do but have never had the time?3.Could you sign up for a self-improvement webinar (在线研讨会) that allows you to gain life skills?
4. Even though we’re socially distancing ourselves from other people, this doesn’t mean that we should be socially isolating ourselves. Make use of technology and FaceTime or Skype with the people you care about.
Remember:thoughts are mental events that will pass. Consider practicing some mindfulness meditation. Focus on your breaths going in and out of your lungs while gently letting go of thoughts.5.
A.Stay connected.
B.Keep optimistic.
C.Your curiosity can turn into a habit.
D.It will help to do something you like.
E.Our minds can’t hold two thoughts at once.
F.Doing this can calm you and it can ground you.
G.That can be a project at home or a new language,for example.
