Question

 

Brian Walker chews pens.He bites them so hard that his boss has warned him to stop or buy his own.Katie’s weakness is more acceptable—she is unable to walk past a cake shop without overeating.Sophia Cartier finds her cigarette habit a headache,while Alice’s thumb-sucking drives her boy friend crazy.Four people with very different habits,but they all share a common problem anxiety disorder or,in serious cases.Obsessive Compulsive Disorder(OCD).

From nail-biting to too much hand-washing,overeating and internet addiction(上癮)，OCD is widespread in almost every workplace and countless homes.“It is a relatively common form of anxiety,”says Dr.Mootee.“The main feature of OCD is the repetition of unwanted obsersive(過(guò)度的) thoughts such as worries that doors are left unlocked,gas or electrical appliances are left on.”In order to fight against the anxiety and distress caused by these obsessions,an OCD sufferer performs some form of repetitive act such as hand-washing,checking door locks and gas or electrical appliances.

Dr.Mootee says that repetitive washing,particularly of the hands,is the most common type of OCD.She has treated many patients who wash their hands up to 30 times a day.The technique Mootee uses to treat people with OCD is called cognitive-behavioral therapy(認(rèn)知行為療法).“It is based on the general idea that people have the ability to change the way they think and behave,”says Mootee.

But when does a habit become a problem?“It’s personal,”says Mootee.“Everyone has something unusual,but if you can’t put up with it,then it’s a problem and you need to do something to change it.”Mootee says many people resist going for treatment because they fear they are “crazy”.But as people become more knowledgeable about these problems they will go and get help.The only way to cure is to conquer.

1.If a person suffers from OCD,he is likely to keep doing any of the following EXCEPT ______.

A.chewing pens                          B.hurting himself

C.sucking fingers                           D.biting nails

2.According to the passage,a person suffering from OCD ______.

解析：這是一道細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第二段中的“The main feature of OCD is the repetition of unwanted bosersive thoughts such as worries that doors are left unlocked ,gas or electrical appliances are left on.”可判斷出患OCD病的人養(yǎng)成不需要的習(xí)慣的原因是釋放壓力。

3.C

解析：這是一道細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第三段中的“It is based on the general idea that people have the ability to change the way they think and behave”可判斷出Dr. Mootee治療的理念基于人們具有改變自己思維和行為方式的能力。

4.D
