But these are simple ways to handle sadness by pretending its not there. Helping a child feel better in school had to be careful. If you say, “W
14、hy are you worried about what other children think about you? It doesnt matter!” Children know that it does matter. Instead, an active way may be best. You could say, “Im going to do a couple of things for you to help you feel better in school.” If a boy is having trouble making friends, the teacher
15、 can help him. The teacher can arrange things so that he has chances to use his abilities to contribute to class projects. This is how the other children learn how to value his good qualities and to like him. A teacher can also raise a childs popularity in the group by showing that he values that ch
16、ild. It even helps to put him in a seat next to a very popular child, or let him be a partner with that child in activities, etc. There are things that parents can do at home, too. Be friendly when your child brings others home to play. Encourage him to invite friends to meals and then serve the dis

22、experience at Wal-Mart. Although my thoughts were only on speed, the checkout line I was standing in wasnt moving as quickly as I wanted, and I glanced toward the cashier. There stood a man in his seventies, wearing glasses and a nice smile. I thought, well, hes an old guy! For the next few minutes
23、I watched him. He greeted every customer before scanning the items. Sure, his words were the usual, “Hows it going?” But he did something differenthe actually listened to people. Then he would respond to what they had said and engage them in brief conversation. I thought it was odd. I have grown acc
24、ustomed to people asking me how I was doing simply out of robotic conversational habit. After a while, you dont give any thought to the question and just mumble something back. I could say, “I just found out I have six months to live,” and someone would reply, “Have a great day!” But that wasnt the
25、end. He gave them the change, walked around the counter, and extended his right hand in an act of friendship. He looked at the customers in the eyes. “I sure want to thank you for shopping here today,” he told them. “You have a great day. Bye-bye.” The looks on the faces of the customers were pricel
26、ess. There were smiles and some sheepish grins. All had been touched by his simple gesture-and in a place they never expected. They would gather their things and walk out, smiling. Of course, he did the same to me and I got to know his name, Marty. Who was that guy? It was as if Sam Walton had come
27、back from the dead and invaded this old guys body.

31、f doing business.DA little positive action can make a big difference. C. How far would you be willing to go to satisfy your need to know? Far enough to find out your possibility of dying from a terrible disease? These days thats more than an academic question, as Tracy Smith reports in our Cover Sto
32、ry. There are now more than a thousand genetic tests, for everything from baldness to breast cancer, and the list is growing. Question is, do you really want to know what might eventually kill you? For instance, Nobel Prize-winning scientist James Watson, one of the first people to map their entire
33、genetic makeup, is said to have asked not to be told if he were at a higher risk for Alzheimer（老年痴呆症）. “If I tell you that you have an increased risk of getting a terrible disease, that could weigh on your mind and make you anxious, through which you see the rest of your life as you wait for that di
34、sease to hit you. It could really mess you up.” said Dr. Robert Green, a Harvard geneticist. “Every ache and pain,” Smith suggested, could be understood as “the beginning of the end.” “Thats right. If you ever worried you were at risk for Alzheimers disease, then every time you cant find your car in
35、 the parking lot, you think the disease has started.” Dr. Green has been thinking about this issue for years. He led a study of people who wanted to know if they were at a higher genetic risk for Alzheimers. It was thought that people who got bad news would, for lack of a better medical term, freak
36、out. But Green and his team found that there was “no significant difference” between how people handled good news and possibly the worst news of their lives. In fact, most people think they can handle it. People who ask for the information usually can handle the information, good or bad, said Green.
37、 36. The first paragraph is meant to_.A. ask some questions B. introduce the topicC. satisfy readers curiosity D. describe an academic fact37.Which of the following is true of James Watson？A.

39、y D. necessary to remove his anxiety39. The underlined part “freak out” in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to“_”.A. break down B. drop out C. leave off D. turn away40.

40、news D. have the right to be informed DStage fright or performance anxiety is the anxiety, or fear which may occur in an individual by the requirement to perform in front of an audience. It is most commonly seen in school situations, like stand-up projects and class speeches. It has numerous forms:
41、heart beating fast, trembling hands and legs, sweaty hands, dry mouth etc.In fact, most of the fear occurs before you step on stage. Once youre up there, it usually goes away.

Stage fright may come and go or decrease, but it usually does not disappear permanently.
43、 You must concentrate on getting the feeling out and present what you have prepared calmly.Remember “Nobody” ever died from stage fright. But, according to surveys, many people would rather die than give a speech. If that applies to you, and you are an unlucky guy who is with stage fright the whole
44、time, try out some of the strategies(策略) as follows to help get yourself under control.

45、egs or move.2) Dont hold notes. The audience can see them shake. Use three-by-five cards instead.3) Use eye contact. Look at the friendliest faces in the audience.

46、make you feel better. Dont be afraid to experiment with different combinations. You never know which ones will work best until you try. Use these steps to control stage fright so it doesnt control you. Once you are used to stage fright, you will find you on the road to a great speech-maker.41. Someo
