Frightened by the thought that she was having a heart attack, Anne screamed for help. Her husband immediately rushed Anne to a nearby hospital where her pains were diagnosed as having been caused by panic, and not a heart attack.More and more Americans nowadays are having panic attacks like the one experienced by Anne Peters. Studies discover that approximately 1.2 million adult individuals are currently suffering from severe and recurrent panic attacks.There have been a lot of explanations as to the causes of panic attacks. Many claim that psychological stress could be a logical cause, but as yet, no evidence has been found to support this theory. Recent reports have shown there are at least three signs that indicate a person is suffering from a panic attack rather than a heart attack. The first is age. People between the ages of 20 and 30 are more often victims of panic attacks. The second is sex. More women suffer from recurrent panic attacks than men. The third is the variety of symptoms. A heart attack victim often experiences only pain and shortness of breath while a panic attack victim usually suffers more symptoms than the two mentioned.It is generally agreed that a panic attack does not directly endanger a persons life. All the same, it can negatively affect a persons life by making him or her so afraid of having a panic attack at a public place that he or she may refuse to leave home. Dr. Crockers advice to anyone who thinks he is suffering from a panic attack is to consult a doctor for a medical examination to rule out the possibilities of physical illness first. Once it has been confirmed that he or she is, in fact, suffering from a panic attack, the victim should turn to psychologists and doctors.4. Whats wrong with Anne?A. Her breath stopped.B. She hurt her chest.C. She suffered from a heart attackD. She went through a panic attack.5. What can we learn from Paragraph 3?A. Panic attacks show a variety of symptoms.B. Panic attacks go hand in hand with heart attacks.C. The elderly are more likely to have panic attacks.D. Psychological stress is bound to cause panic attacks.6. What is Dr. Crockers advice to victims of panic attack?A. To have a thorough medical check.B. To rule out the possibilities of illness.C. To seek psychological and medical help.D. To examine the symptoms on their own.CIt was a rainy day. I had no desire to drive up the winding mountain road to my daughter Carolyn's house. But she had insisted that I come to see something at the top of the mountain.So here I was, although unwilling to make the two-hour journey through fog and rain. After lunch, my daughter requested me to drive her to Barage. After a ten-minute drive, we parked the car and got out. We walked along a path that was thick with old pine needles. Huge black green evergreens towered over us. Gradually the peace and silence of the place began to fill my mind. Then we turned a comer and stopped-and I gasped in amazement.From the top of the mountain to the slopes and valleys, were rivers of daffodils(水仙) in full bloom. A sea of amazing colors, like a carpet before us. It looked as though the sun had tipped over and spilled gold down the mountainside. At the center hung a waterfall of purple hyacinths. Here and there were breathtaking tulips(郁金香).A lot of questions filled my mind. Who created such beauty? Why? How?As we approached the home that stood in the center of the property, we saw a sign that read, "Answers to the Questions I Know You Are Asking". The first answer was:"One Woman-Two Hands, Two Feet, and Very Little Brain." The second was: "One at a Time." The third: "Started in 1958."I was so moved by what we had seen. "She changed the world," I said, not getting over the shock, "one bulb (球茎) at a time. She started almost 40 years ago, probably just the beginning of an idea, but she kept at it.""Imagine," I added, "if I had a vision and worked at it, just a little bit every day, what might I have accomplished?"Carolyn looked sideways at me, smiling. "Start tomorrow," she said. "Better yet, start today."7. Why did the author decide to visit her daughter?A. She didn't want to disappoint her.B. She missed her very much.C. She must pick her up.D. She had an urge to look at the sea of flowers.8. What does the underlined word "hyacinths" probably refer to?A. Famous waterfalls.B. A kind of flower.C. Mountain springs.D. A name of a place.9. What did the author learn from the sign?A. Easier said than done.B. Well begun, half done.C. Little steps add up to big success.D. Women can shake the world.10. What is the text mainly about?A. An amazing trip to Barage.B. A moving story of a mother's love.C. A valuable lesson from a woman.D. A special sign on the way home.第二节(共 5 个小题;每小题 2 分，满分 10 分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。This at Home!Are you looking for a new pastime that will create a balance between physical activity and relaxation?
