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(上瘾),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(过度的) 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(认知行为疗法).“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.
【小题1】If a person suffers from OCD,he is likely to keep doing any of the following EXCEPT______.

A.chewing pensB.hurting himself
C.sucking fingersD.biting nails
【小题2】According to the passage,a person suffering from OCD______.
A.reduces his/her anxiety by taking drugs
B.gets into unwanted habits to relieve stress
C.has unwanted thoughts about habits
D.has unwanted thoughts because of illness
【小题3】Dr.Mootee’s treating technique is based on the idea that______.
A.everyone has something different
B.people can put up with their problems
C.people can change their way of thinking and action
D.people tend to repeat their obsessive actions
【小题4】By saying“The only way to cure is to conquer.”Dr.Mootee suggests that an OCD sufferer______.
A.has to be an extraordinary person
B.must cure his illness by himself
C.must overcome many physical illnesses
D.should have a right attitude towards the problem

第二节:完形填空(共20小题,每小题1.5分,满分30分)

Most parents, I suppose, have had the experience of reading a bedtime story to their children. And they must have   36   how difficult it is to write a   37   children's book.  Either the author has aimed too   38. , so that the children can't follow what is in his (or more often, her) story,   39   the story seems to be talking to the readers.

The best children's books are  40   very difficult nor very simple, and satisfy both the 41  who hears the story and the adult who   42    it. Unfortunately, there are in fact  43   books like this,  44   the problem of finding the right bedtime story is not   45   to solve.

This may be why many of books regarded as  46   of children's literature were in fact written for   47 . “Alice's Adventure in Wonderland” is perhaps the most   48   of this.

Perhaps we parents should stop trying to persuade children into   53   our taste in literature. After all children and adults are so   54  that we parents should not expect that they will enjoy the  55  books. So I suppose we'll just have to compromise(妥协) over that bedtime story.
