6 . When kids get nervous about exams, teachers and parents get nervous about kids’ not living up to expectations, it’s important to stay calm and positive.
Keep a positive attitude
You should be helping your child develop a positive attitude. Your child’s attitude towards exams somewhat depends on you.
Behave yourself
How we behave in a moment of success and joy makes a huge difference in building your relationships.
The advice from positive psychology is that if your child achieves something, don’t say: Well done, you are so talented(天赋的). But rather you put the effort in and got the reward.
Never pay your children for exam results
A.Believe you have a gift for learning. |
B.Praise your children for effort rather than talent. |
C.Your active response means they know you’re proud and great. |
D.“Payment by results” system is a very common parenting trap. |
E.Give your children some money for their wonderful exam results. |
F.The following are how to keep everyone calm down and positive through exam time. |
G.Punishment and pointing out their faults lead to a terrible mental state. |

9 . Researchers at the University of Sussex, Imperial College London and Nanyang Technological University in Singapore have for the first time used game theory (博弈论) to allow robots to assist humans safely and variously.
The research team used adaptive control (自适应控制) and Nash equilibrium (纳什均衡) to program a robot that can understand its human users’ behavior in order to better foresee their movements and respond to them. The researchers believe the breakthrough could make robots help humans do things better in many areas, such as sport training, body recovery or shared driving.
Lead author Dr Yanan Li, Lecturer in Control Engineering at the University of Sussex, said, “It is still very early days in the development of robots and at present, those robots for work are not intuitive enough to work closely and safely with human users. By allowing the robot to identify human users’ behavior and make use of game theory to let the robot react to them in the best way, we have developed a system where robots can work along with humans as humans do.”
To successfully apply game theory to the interaction of a robot and its human users, the researchers had to overcome the problem that the robot cannot know the humans’ intentions. The researchers thus had to develop a method allowing the robot to identify the human partner while safely and efficiently interacting with their motion.
The reactive robotic programming system allows a robot to continuously learn the human users’ control and adapt its own control accordingly. The robot is able to understand the human users’ action and then respond to it and help them to perform tasks successfully with minimal effort.
Professor Etienne Burdet, senior author of the paper, added: “Game theory has had important influences on economics during the last century and lead to several Nobel prizes.”
