Anxiety is the appropriate emotion when the immediate personal terror—of a volcano, an arrow, a stab（刺伤）in the back and other disasters— is directed against one’s self–disappears.
The kind of word that produces anxiety is actually a world of relative safety, a world in which no one feels that he himself is facing sudden death. The anxiety exists as an uneasy state of mind, in which one has a feeling that something unspecified（不具体的）and indeterminable may go wrong. If the world seems to be going well, this produces anxiety—for good times may end. If the world is going badly—it may get worse. Anxiety tends to be without focus；the anxious person doesn’t know whether to blame himself or other people. He isn’t sure whether it is a change in climate or the atom bomb that is to blame for this unclear sense of unease.
It is clear that we have developed a society which depends on having the right amount of anxiety to make it work. While we agree that too much anxiety is harmful to mental health, we have come to rely on anxiety to push us into seeing a doctor about a symptom（症状）which may indicate cancer, into checking up on that old life–insurance policy which may have out–of–date provisions in it, into having a conference with Bill’s teacher even though his report card looks all right.
People who are anxious enough keep their car insurance up, have the brakes checked, and don’t take a second drink when they have to drive. People who are too anxious either refuse to go into cars at all or drive so tensely that they help cause accidents. People who aren’t anxious enough take chance after chance, which increases the terrible accidents of the roads.
In the world that produces anxiety, _____.
A. people have sudden uneasiness
B. everything goes well
C. people are clear about their life
D. danger is almost everywhere
The author holds that _____.
A. anxiety is a good thing
B. anxiety is a symptom of mental illness
C. some anxiety can lead to changes for the better
D. no anxiety is bad for society
Accidents of the road tend to be caused by _____.
A. all those who are too anxious
B. all those who have anxiety
C. those who have no anxiety
D. those who are not anxious enough
The best title for the passage would be _____.
A. Anxiety
B. The Right Amount of Anxiety
C. Anxiety Vs Safety
D. Different Attitudes to Anxiety

Have you ever wished you could solve complex math problems without thinking? What about learning to play the piano in just three days? Or mastering several foreign languages within a month?
Eddie Morra, the main character in the movie Limitless can do all these things. But he isn’t Superman or Harry Potter. Eddie has taken pills called NZT.
Thriller Limitless came out in China on October 13. In the movie, Eddie is faced with “writer’s block”. He hasn’t written a single word of a novel, and his deadline has passed. And there’s more bad news: his girlfriend breaks up with him. By chance, Eddie runs into a relative who is a drug dealer. He gives Eddie some pills called NZT that allow people to make use of 100 percent of their brains. With the magic pills, Eddie’s life changes completely. He can recall everything he has ever read, seen or heard. He gains a sixth sense that allows him to predict future events. He even becomes a kungfu master by simply memorizing actions in Bruce Lee’s movie.
Before long he has finished his novel, won back his girlfriend and stepped into the financial world. He becomes rich incredibly quickly and is soon employed by a powerful Wall Street company. However, bad side effects are just around the corner. The effects of the pill last for only one or two days, and Eddie has to find more supplies of the pills. Meanwhile, the pills start to have other effects on him. Eddies’ mind loses the ability to control the actions of his body. What does destiny hold for him? Will he be able to go back to his normal life?
“Eddie’s fate turns out to be a barbed （讽刺的） joke… a sharp-eyed comic fable for an age of greed (贪婪)and speed.” writes A. O. Scott, a movie critic with the New York Times.
The drug isn’t real-----yet, some researchers say such memory-enhancing drugs might not be far off. Would you take such a pill despite its side effects? Is the ability to remember everything a blessing or a curse?
1.Which of the following happened to Eddie after he took the pill?
|
A．He can easily call everyone in the world. |
|
B．He can expect what will happen next with his sixth sense. |
|
C．He can control a powerful Wall Street company and becomes rich. |
|
D．He can make a special pill to improve his own memory. |
2.What’s A. O. Scott’s opinion of the movie?
A. The movie can help slow our pace in life.
B. The movie turned out to be only a joke.
C. The movie can help invent a memory-enhancing drug.
D. The movie aims to show something is wrong with our society.
3.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
|
A．Memory-enhancing is sure to do good to us. |
|
B．More people will take pills to enhance their memory. |
|
C．People are soon likely to remember everything. |
|
D．Such a pill to enhance memories may soon be invented. |
4.What is writer’s purpose of writing the passage?
|
A．To give us the information of a new movie. |
|
B．To inform us of a new research on a new drug. |
|
C．To suggest a good way to improve memory. |
|
D．To tell us something about a new drug to enhance our memory. |
