Anxiety is a natural response that changed gradually over millions of years to make us more careful and our bodies prepared to flee danger.But feeling anxious because you heard a noise on a dark street isn't the same thing as having an anxiety disorder."The key thing we look for in the clinic is whether anxiety is interfering(妨碍)with a person's day-to-day life,or causing them a lot of unhappiness,"says Nick Grey of King's College London.
To clinical psychologists like Grey,"maladaptive(不恰当的)beliefs"are typical in anxiety disorders and are often used to determine the type of anxiety someone has.In social anxiety disorder,the most common anxiety disorder,you might believe that your face turning red will result in people laughing at you.People with this type of disorder experience constant and great fear before,during and after social
events.
If you have panic disorder,you might assume that you are having a heart attack if your heart starts to race.The physical symptoms of anxiety-a pounding heart,difficulty breathing, feeling dizzy-will then come on in a rush.Everyone can experience such panic attacks from time to time,but in panic disorder the attacks are regular and become a source of anxiety
themselves.
Other maladaptive beliefs are less specific.Generalized anxiety disorder is characterized by continuous worries about a range of different events or activities,for at least six months.If you have this condition,the belief driving your anxiety could,for example,be the feeling it's your job to take care of other people,or that you have responsibilities that you must meet at all cost.To decide who to refer for further treatment,doctors might use a tool called the GAD7test.
33.Which of the following belongs to an anxiety disorder?______
A.Quarreling with parents.
B.Getting to school earlier.
C.Missing a lunch.
D.Knocking on the wall.
34.What is social anxiety characterized by?______
A.Continuous worries.
B.Past experiences.
C.Maladaptive beliefs.
D.Frequent terrors.
35.What will happen to you when you have panic disorder?______
A.You can't stand steadily.
B.Your face turns red.
C.You can't touch anything.
D.Your hands feel numb.
36.What anxiety disorder occurs more often than others?______
A.Generalized anxiety.
B.Panic attacks.
C.Social anxiety.
D.Acute anxiety attacks.

Rain beat against the window,matching my mood.I should have known that my new job at the hospital was too good to be true.Throughout the day,rumors(传言)warned that the newest employee from each department would be laid off.I was the newest one in the training department.
My boss appeared."You probably know we're cutting back,"he said."Administration wants us to offer outplacement classes to help those employees find other jobs,showing them how to act in an interview,for example.""Fine,"I answered unwillingly,not knowing what else to say.
I decided to go home early that day.In the hall,I met the lady who brought us cookies every Friday.She was a little woman with gray hair.Only her head and the top of her green apron were visible over the cart(小车)loaded with cleaning supplies.At least she had a job! At the final meeting,laid-off workers formed a line at the door.A colleague whispered,"I
can't believe our Cookie Lady is being laid off.We'll miss her as much as we'll miss her cookies."When the colleague spoke to her in Spanish,I knew my classes would be useless for her and I realized how much better off was than this poor woman.
I decided to do something for her.I wrote to a newspaper expressing how I felt about the unselfishness of the Cookie Lady who needed a job.A few days later,my article appeared in the newspaper and the Cookie Lady was allowed to stay in her position.On the same day,I received a letter,which seemed so unlikely that I read it twice."An editor of a local magazine likes your pieceand wants you to call her next time you're looking for work…"

For years,there has been a prejudice against science among clinical psychologists(临床心理学家).In a two-year analysis to be published in November in Perspectives on Psychological. Science,psychologists charge that many clinical psychologists fail to"provide the treatments which are given the strongest evidence of effectiveness"and"give more weight to their personal experiences than to science."As a result,patients have no guarantee that their "treatment will be informed by science."Walter Mischel of Columbia University is even crueler in his judgment.
"The disconnect between what clinical psychologists do and what science has discovered is
