问题 共用题干15 Million Americans Suffer from Social Anxiety Disorder
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,Rose 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 Medi- cal 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 nor-mal 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.People with the disorder think that their fear is______.A: justifiedB:.beneficialC:.beyond controlD: controllable

由第四段的“The condition causes people to… or humiliated or embarrassing them-selves”可知，社交恐惧的人害怕别人的评论，这些都是无法控制的。故选B。


由第八段可知，一般多发于12,13岁，因此选D。


由倒数第三段可知，症状包括出汗、脸红、眩晕、和痉孪，不包括喉呢痛。因此选C。


根据最后一段的“In fact ,59 percent … to have a romantic relationship.“可知，59％的人发觉这个治疗有助于他们发展稳定的恋爱关系，而且十分有积极效应。故本题选D。
