38、oreen Sykora is now a junior at McGill University. She had a difficult time when she first began college. She said, “I was always well prepared for my examinations. But when I go into class to take the exam, I would fall apart. I could just blank out because of nervousness and fear.” Hitoshi Sakamot
39、o, an anthropology(人类学) student at Temple University in Tokyo reports similar experiences.These two young students were experiencing something called test anxiety. Because a student worries and is stressed(加压力于) about a test, his or her mind does not work as well as it usually does. The student cann
40、ot write or think clearly because of the severe tension and nervousness.Now there are special university courses to help students. In these courses, advisors and psychologists try to help students by teaching them to manage test anxiety. Such a course helps students learn to live with stress and not
41、 fail because of it. First students take a practice test to measure their worry level. If the tests show that their stress level is high, the students can take a short course to manage the fear. These courses teach students how to relax their bodies. They get training to become calm in very tense si
42、tuations. By controlling their nervousness, they can let their minds work more easily. Learned information then comes out without difficulty on a test.Doreen Sykora saw immediate results after taking such a course. She now has enthusiasm about the relaxation methods. “Mostly, what I do is imagine my
43、self in a very calm place. Then I imagine myself picking up a pencil. I move slowly and carefully. I breathe easily and let all the tension out. With each breath, more worry leaves me. It really works too. My grades have improved greatly! Im really doing well at McGill now. This relaxation method wo

( C )“Congratulations, Mr. Jones, its a girl.” Fatherhood is going to have a different meaning and bring forth a different answer from every man who hears these words. Some
55、 feel proud when they receive the news, while others worry, wondering whether they will be good fathers. Although some men like children and may have had much experience with them, others do not particularly like children and spend little time with them. Many fathers and mothers have been planning a
56、nd looking forward to children for some time. For other couples, pregnancy(怀孕) was an accident and both husband and wife have accepted it willingly or unwillingly. Whatever the reaction to the birth of a child, it is obvious that the change from the role of husband to that of father is a difficult t
57、ask. Yet, unfortunately, few attempts have been made to educate fathers in this re-socialization process. Although many good books have been written about American mothers, only recently have some books discussed the role of a father. Some writers argue that the transition(转变，过渡) to the fathers role
58、, although difficult, is not nearly as great as the transition to the mothers role. The mothers role seems to require a complete change of daily routine and adaptation to a new life, on the other hand, the fathers role is less demanding and immediate. However, even though more and more women are wor
59、king outside the home, the father is still thought by many as the breadwinner in the household. 70.

62、ections: Read the passage carefully and answer the questions or complete the statements in no more than 10 words. Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are excessively concerned with their own appearance and actions
63、. Worrisome thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: what kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes? It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must negatively affect people. A persons view of himself or herself is shown in the
64、 way he or she behaves, and the way a person behaves affects other peoples reactions. In general, the way people think about themselves has a profound effect on all areas of their lives. Shy people are more likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need someone to help them stop wor
65、rying and tell them that they are doing the right thing. Shy people are very sensitive to criticism(批评); they feel it proves their feelings of inferiority（自卑）. They also find it difficult to accept others praise and ususally reply by saying, Youre just saying that to make me feel good. I know its no
66、t true. It is clear that while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful. Can shyness be completely removed, or at least reduced? Luckily, people can overcome shyness by building self-confidence. Since shyness goes hand in hand with a lack of self-esteem(自尊), it is important for p
67、eople to accept their weaknesses as well as their strengths. Each one of us is a unique, worthwhile individual, interested in our own personal ways. The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our full potential. Lets not allow shyness to prevent our chances of a satisfyi
