高考英语外刊阅读理解训练——恐音症 ——改编自Have you ever heard of misophonia? Misophonia, or a strong dislike of certain sounds, is a condition that affects some people. Despite being doubted by experts, sufferers of misophonia experience intense emotional and psychological responses to certain noises. While non-sufferers may just find these sounds as an inconvenience or distraction, misophonia can cause severe anxiety, panic, and even physical reactions. For someone with misophonia, the sound of chewing food from a loved one could trigger a panic attack and their fight-or-flight reflex, causing them to want to flee or lash out in fury. Unfortunately, there is no known cure for this condition although methods such as tinnitus retraining therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, and counselling can help manage it. Misophonia can lead to isolation as sufferers avoid places with lots of noises like restaurants or move away when they feel like lashing out at someone due to their breathing. This condition also causes people to use coping strategies that keep others at a distance. If you see someone who appears to fly into a rage because of a sound that is driving them crazy, it might be a sign of misophonia. These individuals are not just irritated by the sound but struggle to manage their symptoms and are trying their best to cope with the condition. It’s essential to understand and provide support to those who have misophonia rather than dismissing their feelings or actions as something petty or trivial. 【重点词汇】 1. misophonia [?m?s??fou.ni?] n. 强烈的讨厌某些声音的症状 2. dislike [d?s?la?k] v. 讨厌，不喜欢 3. condition [k?n?d???n] n. 疾病，病况 4. affect [??fekt] v. 影响 5. expert [?eksp??t] n. 专家 6. sufferer [?s?f?r?(r)] n. 患者 7. emotional [??m????nl] adj. 情感上的 8. psychological [?sa?k??l?d??kl] adj. 心理上的 9. response [r??sp?ns] n. 反应 10. inconvenience [??nk?n?vi?ni?ns] n. 不便之处 11. distraction [d??str?k??n] n. 分心的事物 12. severe [s??v??(r)] adj. 严重的 13. anxiety [???za??ti] n. 焦虑 14. panic [?p?n?k] n. 恐慌 15. physical
