Among the most stressful of worries are death, illness, loss of work, money problem, marital problems and retirement. Such worries have rational basis, but we are curiously irrational in the way we pursue them. For example, fear of death is as strong among young adults as among the elderly. It is equally surprising that we are as worried the hour before having a tooth filled as when we face major surgery.
It is difficult to decide at what point worrying ceases to be "normal", but it is clearly reasonable to worry. People get seriously ill, planes go awry, tube trains sometimes crash. In practice, anxiety is judged to be pathological when it curtails our ability to lead a normal existence. We can manage perfectly well without travelling in planes or lifts, and an evening out isn’ t spoiled by the fact that we are unable to leave the house without triple-checking the frontdoor lock. Such worries are widespread in the general population.
In its extreme form, anxiety may be experienced either as a generalized, "free-floating" state(the sufferer becomes tense and frightened for no apparent reason), or it may be more specifically focused - for example on open spaces, enclosed situations or certain insects or animals. Many people will have experienced the former - taut muscles, dry mouth and the feeling of agitation, dread or even panic - while mild phobias are also very common.
But at less intense levels, anxiety and worrying have great value. They help us to avoid trouble, or to cope with it when it cannot be avoided. Worrying may be an internal impulse, allowing us to solve problems at times of crisis. By worrying, we may understand better the origins of the worry and thereby avoid a possible breakdown. It may also play a significant part in helping us to come to terms with reality. In everyday life, anxiety energizes us and improves performance of a wide variety of tasks, it also galvanizes us to achieve more. Without it, it is difficult to see how there could be either social or intellectual progress. So worrying is not after all an unproductive activity. Perhaps the time to be worried is when you’ re not worrying.
"We are as worried the hour before having a tooth filled as when we face major surgery." This example is cited to show that some worries we experience are______.
选项
A、surprising
B、normal
C、in accordance with reasonable behavior
D、against reasonable behavior
答案
D
解析
由开篇第一段中句子“Such wordes have rational basis.but we are curiously irrationalin the way we pursue them.For example,…It’s equally surprising that we are as worried thehour before having a tooth filled as when we face major surgery.”可以看出,后面例子(我们补牙前的那种焦虑心情竟同我们面对一些大手术时的心情一样,这着实令人吃惊)是为了支持前面的论题(面对忧虑时我们采取的一些方式就有些不理性了),故本题正确答案为D。
