Social anxiety disorder prevents
some 15 million Americans from leading normal social and romantic lives, a new
survey finds. The disorder leaves many isolated, ashamed
and often misdiagnosed. Thirty-six percent of those with social anxiety disorder
have symptoms for 10 years or more before seeking help, the Anxiety Disorders
Association of America reports. "Social anxiety disorder
is when somebody has an intense, persistent and irrational fear of social or
performance situations, " Jerilyn Ross, the association's president and CEO,
said during a teleconference Wednesday. "The condition
causes people to avoid common, everyday situations and even other people for
fear of being judged or criticized or humiliated or embarrassing themselves, "
Ross said. Social anxiety disorder can interfere with
daily routines and job performance, Ross noted. "It also makes it very difficult
for people to develop friends and romantic partnerships," she said.
People with this disorder recognize their fear is excessive and
irrational, Ross noted. "But they feel powerless to do anything about it," she
said. Social anxiety disorder can start in the early teens,
Dr. Mark H. Pollack, director of the Center for Anxiety and Traumatic Stress
Disorders and a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, said during
the teleconference. "This is a disorder that starts
affecting people early on, " Pollack said. "The typical age of onset is early
adolescence, age 12 or 13, and many individuals report a history of anxiety
dating back to earlier childhood." The disorder also has
physical symptoms, including heart palpitations, feelings that their throat will
close up, sweating, blushing, faintness, trembling and stammering, Ross said.
Among people with the disorder, 75 percent said the condition
affected their ability to do normal activities. In addition, 69 percent said
they didn't want people to think they were crazy, and 58 percent said they were
embarrassed by their condition, Ross said. However, when
the condition is diagnosed and treated, many reported improvement in their
lives. In fact, 59 percent who were receiving treatment said treatment had a
positive effect on their ability to have a romantic relationship. In addition,
39 percent who had received treatment said knowing that treatment can be
successful aided their decision to get help, Ross noted.

As people continue to grow and age, our
body systems continue to change. At a certain point in your life your body
systems will begin to weaken. Your joints may become stiff. It may become more
difficult for you to see and hear. The slow change of ageing causes our bodies
to lose some of their ability to bounce back form disease and injury. In order
to live longer, we have always tried to slow or stop this process that leads us
toward the end of our lives. Many factors contribute to your
health. A well-balanced diet plays an important role. The amount and type of
exercise you get is another factor. Your living environment and the amount of
stress you are under is yet another. But scientists studying senescence (衰老)want
to know: Why do people grow old? They hope that by examining the ageing process
on a cellular level medical science may be able to extend the length of
life. There is nothing to be afraid of as old age approaches.
Many consider the later portions of life to be the best time for living.
Physical activity may lessen, but often you gain a broader understanding of
yourself and the world. What we consider old age now may only be
middle-aged some day soon. Who knows, with so many advances in medical science
happening so quickly, life spans may one day be measured in centuries, rather
than in years!

How Men Face the Fat Problem
It is a pleasure to see men of a certain age worrying about their weight.
Listening to them is not such a pleasure. Because the men are new at the game,
they don't hesitate to discuss the fat problem incessantly. However, women of
the same age do not discuss the fat problem, especially not in mixed company.
They prefer to face the problem with quiet dignity. Discussing the problem might
only draw attention to some stray body part that may be successfully tucked away
under an article of clothing. The age at which a man begins to
explore the fat problem can vary. The actual problem can manifest itself in the
early 30's, but broad-range discussion usually starts later. There are early
nonverbal symptoms. I've watched the rugged journalist who shares my apartment
sneak by with a Diet Coke. His shirts are no longer neatly tucked in to display
a trim waist. Recently he has begun to verbalize his anxiety. He tells me, with
a sheepish grin, that he is taking his suits to Chinatown to have them
"tailored. " Still-older men have lost their dignity and rattle
on unabashedly. Often, wives and children play important roles in their
fat-inspection rituals. Take my oldest brother, a former college football
player. His daughter says that several times a day he will stand at attention
and call out, "Fat, medium or thin?" She knows the correct answer: medium. Thin
would be an obvious stretch, and fat may not get her that new video. According
to his wife, he stands in front of the mirror in the morning (before the day's
meals take their toll), puts his hands behind his head and lurches into a side
bend, then clutches the roll that has developed and says, "Am I getting fatter.
His wife is expected to answer, "You look like you may have lost a few
pounds. " And then there are the ex-husbands, a pitiful group.
They are extremely vocal. When I go to the movies with one, he confides that he
is suffering from great hunger because he is dieting. He hasn't eaten since the
pancakes and sausages he wolfed down that morning. He pauses in his monologue
while he buys his popcorn. After the movie, we sprint to a restaurant, where he
again pauses to devour a basket of bread. Before he orders his chaste salad and
soup, he grows plaintive. Do I think he's fat?

单选题Migrant Workers In the past twenty years, there has been an increasing tendency for workers to move from one country to another. (51) some newly independent countries have understandably restricted most jobs to local people, others have attracted and welcomed migrant workers. This is particularly the case in the Middle East, (52) increased oil incomes have enabled many countries to (53) outsiders to improve local facilities. (54) the Middle East has attracted oil-workers from the USA and Europe. It has brought in construction workers and technicians from many countries, (55) South Korea and Japan. In view of the difficult living and working conditions in the Middle East, it is not (56) that the pay is high to attract suitable workers. Many engineers and technicians can earn at least (57) money in the Middle East as they can in their own country, and this is a major attraction. An allied benefit is the low taxation or complete lack of it. This increases the net amount of pay received by visiting workers and is very popular with them. Sometimes a disadvantage has a compensating advantage. (58) , the difficult living conditions often lead to increased friendship when workers have to depend on each other (59) safety and comfort. (60) , many migrant workers can save large sums of money partly (61) the lack of entertainment facilities. The work is often complex and full of problems but this merely presents greater challenge to engineers who prefer to find solutions (62) problems rather than do routine work in their home country. One major problem which (63) migrant workers in the Middle East is that their jobs are temporary ones. They are nearly always on contract, so it is not easy for them to plan ahead with great confidence. This is to be expected since no country welcomes a large number of foreign workers as permanent residents. (64) , migrant workers accept this disadvantage, along with others, because of the (65) financial benefits which they receive.
