高考英语三轮复习·冲刺押题外刊阅读理解训练6——改编自The impact of childhood and teenage anxiety disorders on later life – new research【文章】Anxiety is a common problem that can affect children and young people. Although occasional feelings of anxiety are normal, severe and long-lasting anxiety that interferes with a child's daily life is known as an anxiety disorder. Children with this disorder tend to miss more days of school and get lower grades than those without.Besides impacting academic performance, children and teens who experience anxiety disorders have a higher likelihood of suffering from mental health problems in adulthood. Additionally, individuals with such conditions may face difficulties in the workplace, leading to reduced productivity and absenteeism.Moreover, treating anxiety disorders can cost families a significant amount of money. For example, a study conducted in the Netherlands found that parents had to pay €96 out of pocket annually for their child's anxiety treatment. In the US, it was estimated that missing workdays for parents with anxious children would cost society $856 per child each year.One effective approach to help children with anxiety is through teaching their parents cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) principles. CBT is an evidence-based treatment that teaches practical coping strategies to manage negative thoughts and behaviours, reducing anxiety levels. This technique has been used widely by the NHS and has also shown significant results in countries like Australia and the US.In conclusion, anxiety disorders can lead to educational, professional and financial struggles for both children and their families. Still, early intervention, such as through CBT, can significantly reduce its impact. By addressing anxiety at an early age, we can improve children's overall well-being while significantly reducing future healthcare costs and improving our society's overall productivity.【重点词汇】1. anxiety [æŋˈzaɪəti] (n.) 焦虑，担心2. common [ˈkɒmən] (adj.) 普遍的，常见的3. problem [ˈprɒbləm] (n.) 问题，难题4. affect [əˈfekt] (v.) 影响，对…起作用5. children [ˈtʃɪldrən] (n.) 孩子，儿童6. young [jʌŋ] (adj.) 年轻的，年少的7. people [ˈpiːpl] (n.) 人们，人口8. occasional [əˈkeɪʒənl] (adj.) 偶尔的，不时的9. feelings [ˈfiːlɪŋz] (n.) 感受，情感10. normal [ˈnɔːməl] (adj.) 正常的，常态的11. severe [sɪˈvɪə] (adj.) 严重的，剧烈的12. long-lasting [lɒŋ ˈlɑːstɪŋ] (adj.) 长时间的，持久的13. interferes [ɪntəˈfɪəz] (v.) 干扰，妨碍14. daily [ˈdeɪli] (adj.) 每日的，日常的15. life [laɪf] (n.) 生活，生命16. known [nəʊn] (adj.) 被称为，已知的17. disorder [dɪsˈɔːdə] (n.) 紊乱，失调18. tend [tend] (v.) 倾向于，趋向于19. miss [mɪs] (v.) 错过，缺席20. school [skuːl] (n.) 学校21. grades [ɡreɪdz] (n.) 成绩，分数22. without [wɪðˈaʊt] (prep.) 没有，无23. besides [bɪˈsaɪdz] (prep.) 除了，此外24. impacting [ɪmˈpæktɪŋ] (v.) 影响，冲击25. academic [ˌækəˈdemɪk] (adj.) 学术的，学院的26. performance [pəˈfɔːməns] (n.) 表演，表现27. teens [tiːnz] (n.) 青少年，十几岁的人28. likelihood [ˈlaɪklihʊd] (n.) 可能性，可能的事情29. suffering [ˈsʌfərɪŋ] (n.) 痛苦，遭受30. mental [ˈmentl] (adj.) 精神的，心理的31. health [helθ] (adj.) 健康的，健康状况32. problems [ˈprɒbləmz] (n.) 问题，难题33. adulthood [ˈædʌlthʊd] (n.) 成年期，成人期34. additionally [əˈdɪʃənəli] (adv.) 另外，此外35. individuals [ˌɪndɪˈvɪdʒuəlz] (n.) 个人，个体36. conditions [kənˈdɪʃnz] (n.) 状况，状态37. face [feɪs] (v.) 面对，面临38. difficulties [ˈdɪfɪkəltiz] (n.) 困难，难题39. workplace [ˈwɜːkpleɪs] (n.) 工作场所，职场40. leading [ˈliːdɪŋ] (v.) 导致，引领41. reduced [rɪˈdjuːst] (adj.) 减少的，降低的【阅读理解练习题】1.
