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. A lightheaded feeling. At first a person may have no idea what is wrong. But these can all be signs of what is known as panic disorder.

  In the United States,the National Institute of Mental Health says more than two million people are affected in any oneyear period.

  The American Psychological Association says panic disorder is two times more likely in women than men. And it can last anywhere from a few months to a lifetime.

Panic attacks can be dangerous―for example,if a person is driving at the time. 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 panic disorder can be treated. Doctors might suggest antianxiety or anti depressant 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. 

  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.

  The report in the Archives of Internal Medicine came from a German health study of more than four thousand adults.

  Most,if not all,Chinese are financially better off thanks to over 30 years of reform and opening up. But are we any happier?

  Various surveys and rankings attempt to answer this question.

  Though sociologists have presented varying percentages based on different criteria,their answers tend to find we are generally happier,and the number of optimists rises each year.

  But each survey reveals a worrisome fact that a sizable portion,10 percent at the lowest,of respondents were not content with their lives or not hopeful about the future.

  We cannot be content with the fact that at least 130 million of our countrymen are not happy.

  Although a sense of happiness remains a luxury for many of our compatriots because of poverty,we agree financial wellbeing is not the sole determinant of happiness.

  For most of us,except the extremely rich and naturally born optimists,there simply are too many variables that may kill the feeling of happiness.

  These include,but are not limited to,rising housing prices,tight and instable job market,backbreaking schooling expenses and medical bills. 

  The most common one,however,is a low sense of security.

  An eyecatching characteristic of our economy is its high savings rate,at 46 percent now.

  Explaining the rise in savings and drop in spending in their city,Beijing municipal statisticians pointed that in the low-and-middle-income group there was too much uncertainty regarding employment,income,housing,medical situations,and education.

  How can you feel happy when you always have to brace ( = prepare) yourself for the unexpected?

  It may be beyond the government's reach,to guarantee higher income for every citizen. But it does have a burden to create an environment where all citizens can feel a reasonable level of security.

  There was an inclusive '* safety network" when the government encouraged officials to leave public offices in 1980s in attempts to downsize public service. The idea was to offer officials secure pay and benefits so they would not have to worry about guarantees after their departure from positions of power.

  It is time the government displayed similar creativity and resolve to address a much larger sense of uncertainty.

(   ) 1. The underlined word "burden" in the passage means         .

   A. a heavy load

   B. a duty or responsibility

   C. the main theme of an article

   D. capacity

(   ) 2. According to the passage,the reason that most people involved in the surveys feel unhappy is that         .

   A. they are faced with financial problems

   B. they are not naturally born optimists

   C. they are lack of sense of security

   D. they are bothered by the rising prices

(   ) 3. From the passage,we know that the high savings rate shows that        .

   A. life for most Chinese is no longer a daily struggle for basic necessities

   B. the country's social security system is incomplete

   C. the public are too busy to spend

   D. it is not easy to change this traditional custom

(   ) 4. The writer offers the example of "safety network" is to show        .

   A. the officials in China can enjoy better social welfare

   B. the advantages of a policy

   C. a way to solve the problem mentioned above

   D. it is not necessary for most people to worry about their future

 Personal finance is an increasingly complex world. There are more ways to invest money,more ways to save it,and more ways to lose it. Yet many people are more strangers to this world than they might like to admit.

  Starting young to teach financial literacy.

  In the United States,there are growing calls to do more to help young people learn skills in financial literacy. Some efforts begin in high school. But more and more information is available on the Internet,not only for young people but also for adults. The goal is to teach about budgeting,saving,investing and using money.

  The United States Financial Literacy and Education Commission was established in two thousand three. This government group supervises financial education efforts through nineteen federal agencies.

  Information on financial literacy and education can be found at its Web site. The address is My Money,gov. It includes links to agencies that deal with banking,buying a home,investing and other areas.

  The National Council on Economic Education has found that seventeen states now require high school students to take a class in economics. This number has grown from thirteen in nineteen ninetyeight.

  As of three years ago,half of all states required students to take a class in personal finance. Yet that number has fallen from twentyfive to twentytwo.

The National Council on Economic Education sells textbooks for grades four through twelve. It also offers free materials for teachers. The information is available at ncee.net.

  Teachers say parents also need to play a larger part in educating their children about money. A recent study found that seventy percent of college students said they received financial advice mainly from their parents.

Investment companies also offer information. Charles Schwab,for example,has a Web site to help parents teach their kids about money and investing.   The address is SchwabMoneyWise. com.

  One of the first tastes of financial independence that many young people get is through summer jobs. Junior Achievement is an organization that teaches young people about finance and business. It says almost threefourths of young people questioned said they planned to have a summer job.

(   ) 1. What's the goal of teaching young people financial literacy?

   A. To teach them budgeting.

   B. To teach them saving.

   C. To teach them investing and using money.

   D. All of the above.
