2 . How to calm your teen

A major source of teen stress is school exams, and test anxiety is not uncommon. When you recognize your teen is under stress, how can you help your teen stay calm before an exam?

Be involved. Parents need to be involved in their teen’s study.     1     What he looks for is your presence — to talk, to cry, or simply to sit with him quietly. Communicate openly with your teen. Encourage your teen to express his worries and fears, but don’t let him focus on those fears.

Help him get organized.     2     Together, you and your teen can work out a timetable in which he can study for what he knows will be on the test.

Provide a calm setting. Help your teen set up a quiet place to study and protect his privacy.

Give him a nutritious diet. It’s important for your teen to eat a healthy, balanced diet during exam time to focus and do his best.     3     If this happens, encourage your teen to eat light meals or sandwiches. A healthy diet, rather than junk food, is best for reducing stress.

    4     Persuade your teen to get some sleep or do something active when he needs a real break from studying. Making time for relaxation, fun, and exercise is important in reducing stress. Help your teen balance his time so that he will feel comfortable taking time out from studying to spend time with friends or rest.

Show a positive attitude.     5     Your panic, anxiety and blame contribute to your teen’s pressure. Make your teen feel accepted and valued for his efforts. Most importantly, reassure (使安心) your teen that things will be all right, no matter what the results are.

A．Encourage your teen to relax.

B．The best thing is simply to listen.

C．They will only make the situation worse.

D．Parents’ attitude will influence their teen’s emotions.

E．Exam stress can make some teens have no desire for food.

F．Your teen may also make negative comments about himself.

G．Help your teen think about what he has to study and plan accordingly.

4 . A Love Note to My Mum

When I was a little girl, you always modelled for fashion photographers. It was years later that I finally understood the role that modelling plays in your life. Little did I know you were saving every penny you made to go to law school.

I cannot thank you enough for what you told me one autumn afternoon when I was nine. After finishing my homework, I went into the dining room where you were focusing on reading law books. I was confused. Why were you doing what I do – memorising textbooks and studying for tests? When you said you were in law school, I was even more surprised. I didn’t know mums could be lawyers, too. You smiled and said, “In life, you can do anything you want to do.”

As young as I was, those words kept ringing in my ears. I watched as you faced the challenges of completing your studies, starting companies with Dad, while still being a model and a mum of five kids. You never complained and gave up. With your words of wisdom in my mind, I suddenly felt the freedom to dream. My whole world opened up. I set out to live my life filled with hope, seeing endless possibilities for personal and professional success. 

Your words became my motto (座右铭). As I grew up, I always found myself in the unique position of being either the first or one of the few women (chief medical reporters) in my field. I gained power every time I said, “Yes, I’ll try that.”

Encouraged by your words, I have forged ahead (毅然前行) with my life’s journey, less afraid to make mistakes or to meet challenges. You did it, and now I’m doing it. Sorry, I have got to run. So much to do, so many dreams to realise.

Last week our music teacher teach us a song，named Indebted Heart（感恩的心），through that now I know we should live with a thankful heart. I think of my parents， who I think are first people I should thank. It’s they who gives me life, bring me up, look after me and teach me how to live happy. I should thank my parents for giving myself so much. Maybe I should consider how to pay back to the love my parents give me. And now I think the best way to be gratefulness to my parents is to study well. And then be a useful person to the society is my ideal.

7 . Everybody is afraid of something. That’s what more than 1,700 kids told us when we asked them about fears and scary stuff. We gave kids a list of 14 scary things and asked which one frightened them most. Here are the top 5 answers from our survey (调查)：① Scary movies and TV shows；②Scary dreams；③Thunderstorms，hurricanes(飓风)；and other horrible weather；④War and terrorism (恐怖行动)；⑤Sounds heard at night.

But not everyone is afraid of the same thing. And what makes one person scared can be of no big deal for someone else. Plenty of kids said their biggest fear wasn’t on our list.

What is fear?

Fear is a feeling that everyone has—it’s programmed into all of us—and that’s a good thing because fear is there to protect us. We’re born with a sense of fear so we can react to something that could be dangerous. The baby cries，and their mom comes over to comfort him or her，helping the baby feel safe and OK again.

Real vs. Pretend

The best way to get over a fear is to get more information about it. As kids get older，they understand more and start seeing the difference between what is real and unreal. So when William’s imagination leads him to think of witches，he can tell himself，“Wait a minute. They’re only pretend things. I don’t need to worry about them.”

The same goes for the dark. A kid’s imagination can start playing tricks when the lights go out. What’s under my bed？Is that a thief I hear？With the help of a parent，kids can get more comfortable in the dark. Using a nightlight or shining a flashlight under the bed to see that there’s nothing there can help kids fight that fear.

1. What did the writer find out from the survey?

A．Some people have never experienced fear.

B．Kids don’t like watching scary movies.

C．All people are afraid of something.

D．People often cry loudly when they are scared.

2. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?

A．The list of fears is not complete.

B．The things people fear are of no big deal.

C．Kids have more fears than people think.

D．People are afraid of different things.

3. In the writer’s opinion，________.

A．having a sense of fear is not a bad thing

B．babies have a weak sense of fear

C．fear is not something that we are born with

D．not all people can react to dangerous things
