C. Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words.

Anxiety is the appropriate emotion when the personal terror – of a volcano, an arrow, a stab(刺伤) in the back and other disasters, all directed against one’s self – d1..

The kind of world that produces anxiety is actually a world of relative s2., a world in which no one feels that he himself is facing sudden death.

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 w3.. Anxiety tends to be without f4.; 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.

People who are too anxious either r6. to go into cars – and so complicate the ordinary course of life – or drive so tensely and carefully that they help avoid accidents. People who aren’t anxious enough take their c7., which increases the terrible accidents of the roads.
