Psychiatric (治疗精神病的) tests show that a well—balanced person gets much angrier when offended than an abnormal (不正常的) person does . At the New York State Psychiatric Institute, Dr. James Page and Professor of Psychology Carney Landis of Columbia University studied the reaction of 200 normal persons and 210 abnormal persons. They tested their reactions to annoying situations of every type and variety such as: being laughed at, being repeatedly disconnected on the telephone, accidentally hitting their thumb with a hammer, being worked on by a backseat driver , being told to ―shut up‖ and mind their own business, discovering someone cheating in a friendly card game , etc. In almost every instance the anger reaction of the normal group was much more intense than that of the abnormal one.
―This,‖ they reported, ―is agreeing with other psychiatric findings. For one of the outstanding symptoms(症状) of mental unbalance is lack of emotion.‖ So if you blow your top when you hit your head against a piece of furniture, or when your girlfriend goes out with another young man—don‘t worry about it. It‘s just a sign that you‘re normal. 41. The passage mainly deals with__________.

necessary for industrialization. The provision of this structure is the urbanization process itself.
There are five main consequences of this uncontrolled urbanization: firstly, people move from the country to the city because they see the city as a more desirable place to live. Secondly, rural areas thus become less populated and this causers a decrease in the production of food. Thirdly, there is a high urban population growth rate. Fourthly, there is a dramatic pressure on the supply of social services, especially those services related to education and health, and finally uncontrolled urbanization leads to an excess of labor supply in the cities.
There are a few policies which could slow this kind of uncontrolled urbanization in developing countries. A more equal land distribution should be promoted land distribution should be promoted. In this way farmers would be more motivated to stay on the land. Also, the supply of social services in the rural areas have to be improved, particularly in the field of health and education.
