B- Reading Comprehension

Read the passage then answer the questions:

A panic attack is a sudden feeling of terror. Usually it does not last long, but it may feel like forever. The cause can be something as normally uneventful as driving over a bridge or flying in an airplane. And it can happen even if the person has driven over many bridges or flown many times before.

 

A fast heartbeat, sweaty hands, difficulty breathing or a lightheaded feeling are signs of what is known as a panic disorder. The first appearance is usually between the ages of eighteen and twenty-four. In some cases it develops after a tragedy, like the death of a loved one, or some other difficult situation.

 

In the United States, the National Institute of Mental Health says more than two million people are affected in any one-year period. The American Psychological Association says a panic disorder is two times more likely in women than men. And it can last anywhere from a few months to a lifetime.

 

Some people who suffer a panic attack develop a phobia, a deep fear of ever repeating the activity that brought on the attack. But experts say a panic disorder can be treated. Doctors might suggest anti-anxiety or antidepressant medicines. Talking to a counselor could help a person learn to deal with or avoid a panic attack. There are breathing methods, for example, that might help a person calm down.

 

A panic disorder is included among what mental health professionals call anxiety disorders. A study published last week reported a link between anxiety disorders and several physical diseases. It says these include thyroid disease, lung and stomach problems, arthritis, migraine headaches and allergic conditions.

 

Researchers at the University of Manitoba in Canada say that in most cases the physical condition followed the anxiety disorder. But, they say, exactly how the two are connected remains unknown.

B- Reading Comprehension

Read the passage then answer the questions:

            Despite the many medical advances made in recent times, there is still no widely accepted theory on why we age. One hypothesis is that as we age, our internal organs gradually lose their ability to function effectively. Therefore, if our immune or nervous system degrades, the result could produce characteristics that we normally associate with aging.

 

A related theory considers cell division, and states that our cells can only divide a limited number of times before dying. This has been proven with certain cells grown in culture in laboratories. Thus, it may be that as cells reach their reproductive limit and die, the body ages. This limit can also be affected by genetic mutations which can shorten the cell’s lifespan. The only exception to this is, unfortunately, cancer cells, which seem to be able to reproduce indefinitely. There is exciting research being conducted now that looks at how cancer
