There are endless motivations for human behaviourfrom the basic drives for food to more complicated onessuch as sympathyenvy and anger.But none of these explain behaviours that we call compulsions(强迫症)They come from a need that is desperate and tortured(折磨)They may bring reliefbut they bring little enjoymentand while one part of our brain desperately wishes to stop themanother is afraid of stopping.
I used to view compulsions as foreign and almost frightening.But in the course of my researchtwo things happened.Firstwhen I got to know people who were compulsivetheir behaviour didnt seem unreasonable at all.SecondI realized that although people with the most extreme compulsions seem like outliers(另类人)the anxiety that drives them to those extremes is universal.
Over any yearmany of us find ourselves in the control of a compulsion that falls short of something that is disabling enough to qualify as a mental disorder—in factsome compulsions are adaptivehelping us lead our lives or perform our jobs more effectively.
Like many peoplemaybe you feel forced to reach for your smart phone as soon as you wake up in the morning.Fortunately a growing number of experts have begun to succeed in distinguishing addictions from compulsions.
An addiction begins with a flash of pleasure accompanied with danger; its fun to gamble or to drinkand it also puts you at risk.Addictions involve acting without planning or even thoughtdriven by an urge for immediate satisfaction.Compulsionsreact within contrastare all about avoiding unpleasant outcomes.They are behaviours we repeat many times to relieve the anxiety brought on by the possibility of negative consequences.But the actual behaviour is often unpleasant—or at least not particularly rewardingespecially after many rounds of it.
Behind every compulsion is the need to avoid what causes you pain or anxiety.Compulsive
behaviour is not necessarily a mental disorder.Some forms of it can beand people in its control deserve to be diagnosed and helped.But many are expressions of psychological needs we all feelto be at peace and in controlto feel connected and to matter.And if those are mental illnesseswere all crazy.

(2017·苏锡常镇四市一模)
    On a field roughly the size of an American football fielda player wearing a helmet avoids a defender.He then swings a stick with a net on its end toward the goal.This sweeping motion sends a rubber ball flying from the net past a goalkeeper for a score.
    The player—pumping his fists in celebration—has just scored a goal in lacrossea sport that has elements of hockeysoccer and American football.But lacrosse differs from those sports in its unique mixture of stick­handling skills and physical contact.Often referred
to as the fastest game on two feetlacrosse is such an exciting sport that new fans and players quickly find themselves hooked.
In mens lacrossetwo teams of 10 players compete over four periods lasting 15 minutes each.Except the goalkeepereach team fields three attackmenthree mid­fielders and three defensemen.As in soccerplayers cannot touch the ball with their hands.So players use their stickcalled a crosseto keep the ball in play.While running across the fieldthey cradle the ball in the netcompeting to shoot a lacrosse ball into the opposing teams gate.
The modern game of lacrosse originated from the long­stick game played by the Iroquois(易洛魁人)Mohawkspart of the Iroquois nationtaught the game to French Canadians in Montreal in 1750.This led to a series of contests between the Iroquois and the Canadians with the Iroquois winning 17 years in a row.Although they lost the gamesthe Canadian players never falter(犹豫) in their love of the game.
