But none of these explain behaviours that we call compulsions (强迫症).They come from a need that is desperate and tortured (折磨). They may bring relief, but they bring little enjoyment, and while one part of our brain desperately wishes to stop them, another is afraid of stopping. I used to view compulsions as foreign and almost frightening. But in the course of my research, two things happened. First, when I got to know people who were compulsive, their behaviour didnt seem unreasonable at all. Second, I realized that although people with the most extreme compulsions seem like outliers (另类人), the anxiety that drives them to those extremes is universal. Over any year, many of us find ourselves in the control of a compulsion that falls short of something that is disabling enough to qualify as a mental disorder in fact, some compulsions are adaptive, helping us lead our lives or perform our jobs more effectively.Like many people, maybe you feel forced to reach for your smart phone as soon as you wake up in the morning. Fortunately a growing number of experts have begun to succeed in distinguishing addictions from compulsions.An addiction begins with a flash of pleasure accompanied with danger; its fun to gamble or to drink, and it also puts you at risk. Addictions involve acting without planning or even thought, driven by an urge for immediate satisfaction.Compulsions, in contrast, are all about avoiding unpleasant outcomes. They are behaviours we repeat many times to relieve the anxiety brought on by the possibility of negative consequences. But the actual behaviour is often unpleasant or at least not particularly rewarding, especially after many rounds of it. Behind every compulsion is the need to avoid what causes you pain or anxiety. Compulsive behaviour is not necessarily a mental disorder. Some forms of it can be, and people in its control deserve to be diagnosed and helped. But many are expressions of psychological needs we all feel: to be at peace and in control, to feel connected and to matter. And if those are mental illnesses, were all crazy.56. From the first two paragraphs, we know that _. A. compulsions can bring relief as well as enjoyment B. compulsive people will prefer unreasonable behaviour C. compulsions may be an understandable response to anxiety D. compulsive people must be frightening and behave differently 57. The main difference between addictions and compulsions lies in _. A. human relationships B. financial rewards C. internal drives D. social expectations 58. Whats the authors attitude towards compulsion? A. Objective. B. Negative.C. Doubtful. D. Cautious.B HIV is a tricky virus that escapes typical immune responses. During a successful immune system response to a foreign body, white blood cells produce antibodiesthat target the foreign body. These antibodies then mark the foreign body for destruction by other immune cells. For the most part, HIV escapes these immune defenses, but rare individuals develop antibodies that effectively block the virus. Researchers are now showing that these antibodies can also act as treatments in other HIV patients.HIV has several ways of escaping the immune response.Unlike most viruses, HIV specifically attacks a type of white blood cell that is critical to our immune system. During reproduction, the HIV virus also picks up many newmutations (变异), which often change it enough that anyantibodies produced earlier during the infection no longer recognize it. These rare antibodies can also keep the virus from infecting new cells, which could make them an effective treatment. Inanimal studies, injectionof low concentrations of these antibodies could act as a vaccine (疫苗) and provide protection against infection. Injectionscan even control active infections when combined with additional antibodies that targetother molecules (分子) on the HIV surface. These findings ledto humans phase 1 clinical trials to evaluate a specific antibodythat targets HIV. This study revealed that a single injection of the antibody typically reduced the presence of HIV in the blood of patients who have viruses that were sensitive to the antibody. After performing test-tube studies showing the effectiveness of the antibody, the researchers evaluated itssafety in humans in a smalltrial. The study included two groups of participants: 14 uninfected individuals and 19 individuals with an HIV-1 infection. The researchers then tracked the clearance of the antibody by following its levelsin the participants blood. Consistent with previous studies, HIV-1 infected individuals exhibited faster clearance of the antibody, with a half-life of 12.8 days compared to 24.0 days for uninfected participants. Despite the fast clearance, however, the antibody appeared to be effective.Thirteen HIV-1 infected participants with the highest levels of virusreceived the highest dose (剂量) of the antibody. Eleven of themshowed a rapid decline in HIV levels. Tracking the infection through thefirst weeks after treatmentrevealed the evolutionof multiple viruses that were no longer affected bythe antibody. However, these new variants (变体) generally remained sensitive to antibodies targeting other virussurface molecules.Overall, this investigation shows the safety of injections of antibody 10-1074 in humans. Thus, researchers may be able to build a cocktail of antibodies that effectively block active HIV infections.59. HIV escapes immune responses by _. A. removing the foreign body B. identifying the immune system C. attacking a certain white blood cell D. reproducing some effective antibodies60. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. The immune system. B. A type of white blood cell. C. The HIV virus. D. An antibody.61. The purpose of the further study of antibodies is to _. A. introduce a vaccine protecting humans against infection B. confirm the reduction of HIV in the blood of the patients C. track a faster clearance of antibodies in uninfected subjects D. prove the safety and effectiveness of antibodies in humans62. What can we infer from the passage? A. Antibodies remain ineffective against most HIV viruses. B. Researchers feel optimistic about a new cure for HIV. C. Researchers get contradictory findings from a series of studies. D. Antibodies can evolve with HIV viruses from infected patients.C If you have something to say about someone, say it today! It may make a world of difference. Last week at the Night of Hope in downtown Los Angeles, Victoria Osteen, one of my best friends, shared a story about a very special birthday present from a dear friend. It wasnt expensive jewelry or a designer handbag. It was an attractive box. And though it was lovely, the box wasnt the real gift.When the friend presented it to Victoria, he said some wonderful things about the birthday girl. Then, he acted as if he were putting those compliments into the box and began passing it around to everyone else at the table. One by one, Victorias family and friends also said loving things about her, and one by one they “places” their kind words into the birthday box. Victoria shared how much that night had meant to her, and that day she put that beautiful box in a striking place in her bedroom as a reminder of the sweet words that were put in the box and in her heart.I related this story because I also have what I call “an encouragement drawer”. As a writer, I hop
