Behaviors that we do not understand often become nearly invisible-even when,in retrospect,we see how truly strange they are. When I was a psychiatric resident,we had a faculty member who was famous for his messy office: stacks of papers and old journals covered every chair and table as well as much of the floor. One day,as I walked past the open office door with one of my supervisors,he murmured mildly, 'Odd duck.'And that was as far as anyone seemed to reflect on this peculiar state of affairs within an institution staffed by psychiatrists. Eventually,the faculty member had to be given another office in which to see patients. Not surprisingly,the psychiatric diagnostic manual does not list 'messy room' in the index. But it does mention a tantalizing symptom: inability 'to discard worn-out or worthless objects even when they have no sentimental value.' It comes under the diagnosis obsessive-compulsive personality disorder,an obscure cousin of the more famous obsessive-compulsive disorder. I was barely aware of the diagnosis. Every era has mental disorders that for cultural or scientific reasons become popular. In Freuds day it was hysteria. Currently depression has moved to center stage. But other ailments go relatively ignored,and this disorder was one. It came with a list of additional symptoms that appeared to be peculiar bedfellows:anxiety about spending money,excessive devotion to work to the exclusion of leisure activities,rigidity about following rules, perfectionism in doing tasks—at times to the point of interfering with finishing them. In moderation,the symptoms seemed to fit right in with our workaholic culture—perhaps explaining the low profile of the diagnosis. Relentless work orientation and perfectionism may even be assets in rule-and detail-oriented professions like accounting or law. But when the symptoms are too intense or pervasive,they become crippling. Beneath the seemingly adaptive behaviors lies a central disability. People with this diagnosis have enormous difficulty making decisions. They lack the internal sense of completion that most of us experience at the end of a choice or ,a task,even one as simple as throwing something out or making a purchase. In obsessive-compulsive personality disorder,this feeling occurs only after endless deliberation and revision,if at all. The need to come up with the 'correct' answer,the best purchase or the perfect proposal leads to excess rumination over each decision. It can even lead to complete paralysis. For such people,rules of all kinds are a godsend—they represent pre-made decisions. Open-ended assignments,like writing papers, are nightmares. For such a patient or for a psychiatrist,understanding a cluster of diagnostic symptoms can be a rev-elation. The picture leaps out from the previously disorganized background. But undoubtedly,at times we can become too reductionistic,seeing patterns where none exist:sometimes a messy room is just a messy room.Which of the following best describes peoples attitude towards the faculty member?A．They disliked him,and that's why he got his separate room to see patients.B．They thought he is a little strange,but didn't pay much attention to his behavior.C．They were interested in his behavior,as they were all psychiatrists.D．They thought he had some mental retardness.此题为多项选择题。

Almost since the beginning of mankind, governments have been recording the numbers of their populace. The first known census report took place in 3800 B. C. in Babylonia for the purpose of deciding who should pay taxes. As time went by, governments found other, more creative uses for knowing their numbers. Egyptian King Ramses II used the census not only to determine who should pay taxes, but also to figure out how to divide land for farming and to decide who could provide manpower for various government projects. Their new ideas came about in the mid-1200s B. C. William, the Conqueror brought the concept of census taking to England in 1085. All landowners were required to name their holdings for the purpose of taxation. By the fifteenth century, Tudor kings found a new twist to the Egyptians use of the census. They too used the population count as a means of getting ready manpower for important government projects — namely, replenishing troops in the ongoing battles in western Europe. A rebellious tide swept over England, however, in the mid-1700s. A bill to authorize a regular census was defeated in Parliament on the grounds that it would give valuable information to Englands enemies. But the tide of rebellion soon turned, and in 1800 England established its first regular census. Meanwhile the United States had already had an ongoing census for ten years. It was authorized in the Constitution for the purpose of deciding how many members of constitutional article also established that the census would be taken in 1790 and every ten years thereafter. And so it has. Since its beginning, the American census has gone through many changes. Today the census provides more than a count of the people who live here. It takes polls on transportation, economic planning, and agriculture. The census also provides data for most government agency statistics, such as the unemployment rate. Counting costs have risen since 1790. The government spent about a penny per person to count post-Revolutionary Americans. Today the census costs $ 250 million — more than a dollar per person. Thats a long way since 3800 B. C.The first known census report took place in Babylonia in______.A．1085B．1200 B.C.C．3800 B.C.D．1790此题为多项选择题。
