When Fear Takes Control of the Mind

A panic attack is a sudden feeling of terror. Usually it does not last long,but it may feel like forever. The
cause can be something as normally uneventful as driving over a bridge or flying in an airplane.And it can
happen even if the person has driven over many bridges or flown many times before.A fast heart beat. Sweaty
hands.Difficulty in breathing. A light一headed feeling. At first a person may have no idea what is wrong. But
these can all be signs of what is known as panic disorder. The first appearance usually is between the ages of 18
and 25.In some cases it develop3 after a tragedy,like the death of a loved one,or some other difficult situation.
In the United States,the National Institute of Mental Health says more than two million people are af-
fected in any one-year period.The American Psychological Association says panic disorder is twice more like-
ly in women than men.And it can last anywhere from a few months to a lifetime.
Panic attacks can be dangerous一for example,if a person is driving at the time.The Chesapeake Bay
Bridge in the state of Maryland is so long and so high over the water,and it is famous for scaring motorists.
There is even a driver assistance program to help people get across.Some people who suffer a panic attack
develop a phobia,a deep fear of ever repeating the activity that brought on the attack.
But experts say panic disorder can be treated. Doctors might suggest anti-anxiety or anti-depressant
medicines.Talking to a counselor could help a person learn to deal with or avoid a panic attack.There are
breathing methods,for example,that might help a person calm down.Panic disorder is included among what
mental health professionals call anxiety disorders.A study published last week reported a link between
anxiety disorders and several physical diseases.It says these include thyroid disease,lung and stomach prob-
lems,arthritis,migraine headaches and allergic conditions.Researchers at the University of Manitoba in
Canada say that in most cases the physical condition followed the anxiety disorder. However,they say,exactly
how the two are connected remains unknown.
The report in the Archives of Internal Medicine came from a German health study of more than 4 ,000 adalts.
选项 All of the following may be symptoms of panic disorder EXCEPT________.A:sweaty handsB:difficulty in breathingC:a light-headed feeling D:low blood pressure
答案D
解析第一段第三、四行列出了包括A、B、C三个选项在内的各种症状（还包括fast heart-beat)，但没有D项（低血压）。 第二段第一句说到“more than two million" , C项的above与more than同义。 第二段第二句说“女人患惊恐性障碍的可能性是男人的两倍”。twice as much as与 twice more than均表示前者是后者的两倍。 第三段第二句提到马里兰州的切萨皮克海湾大桥吓坏开车的人是出了名的，其他地方 没有提到。应该注意的是，本题所问的是most likely（很可能），并不是the most likely（最可 能），因此并不涉及对四个选项所列场所进行比较的问题。 第四段倒数第三句罗列了包括B、C、D三项在内的各个病种，但没有A项的“癌症”。
