Many people suffer from some form of extreme anxiety. Some experience occasional attacks of panic for almost no reason. Others go around in a state of continual uneasiness. How do we control anxiety? The best way is to take drugs that help patients manage their anxiety. Patients who take these drugs say that they are able to work, to sleep and to go to places they feared to visit before. But the effects of the drugs on the human body, especially on the nervous system have not been known for a long time.
    Scientists have started a series of studies to identify the effects of the drugs on the brain and have gained some insight into the costs and benefits of the anti-anxiety drugs. They are valuable because they can reduce the effects of expected failure, frustration and disappointment. But their value demands a price. Two effects of the drugs are obviously harmful. First, they weaken a person’s ability to react to changes; second, they fail to help a person deal with unexpected troubles. It is fairly sure that people will meet with problems they have never expected, so these harmful effects may make the price of anti-anxiety drugs too high.
16. According to the speaker, what is the best way to manage anxiety?
17. What does the speaker say about the anti-anxiety drugs?
18. What harmful effect do the anti-anxiety drugs have?

选项 A、They damage a person’s mental health.
B、They reduce a person’s chance of recovery.
C、They slow down a person’s reaction to changes.
D、They worsen a person’s existing trouble.

答案C

解析 选项都是某些东西对人的不良影响;结合第16题选项中的medicine一词,可以猜测本题问的是某种药物的副作用。因此听到effects和harmful时就要注意。原文说这种药物会减弱人们的应变能力,选项C就是这句话的同义表达。
