c) Increased awareness
d) Snoring A phobia is a morbid (i.e. not normal), recurring fear that appears to be unwarranted by actual conditions. In the early part of the 20th century, physicians and psychologists used technical terms for various fears, or phobias, but the more recent trend has been to drop the technical 130 jargon and simply to state what the object of the individual's fear is. For instance, formerly the style was to speak of "acrophobia", whereas the same condition is now called "phobia of high places" and phobia about crossing water was formerly called by the technical term "gephyrophobia". One of the few terms that has survived is "claustrophobia" which is a fear of small, confined, closed spaces. The individual suffering from claustrophobia becomes very tense and anxious whenever he is in a small room or any small, closed space. He often experiences tightness in the chest, rapid pulse and sudden weakness in the limbs, and there is a risk of fainting. The most common characteristic is that the individual feels this fear even when he recognizes that it is unwarranted, that is there is no real cause for alarm. The individual recognizes that the symptoms arise from his own feelings and not from factors in his environment. He is aware that the factors within him start this fear whenever he is in a small, closed place, such as a lift. He feels helpless to avoid the reaction when he is in such a place. His defence against the symptoms is to avoid small, enclosed places. 16. “recurring” refers to a) aggressive b) hostile c) restless d) repeating 17. “jargon” refers to a) vocabulary b) frame c) trend d) usage 18. Which of the following is correct? a) According to the recent trend, fear of crossing water should be called "gephyrophobia". b) Although the person with claustrophobia experienced unwanted physical changes when he is in a small, closed area, fortunately he or she never loses consciousness. c) Certain factors in the environment may make any person phobic.
