What Makes Anxiety Happen?
Well, because we can't outlaw tests, we might as well figure out how to ease test anxiety. Anxiety is a feeling a person gets when he or she expects something stressful to happen.
______71_____ A kid might think, “What if I forget everything I know?” or “What if the test is too hard?” Too many thoughts like these don't leave much room in your mind to concentrate on remembering the answers to the test questions.
People with test anxiety can also feel stressed out by the physical reaction and think things like “What if I throw up?” or “Oh no, my hands are shaking.”
These thoughts can get the person even more upset, making the anxiety even stronger. Now, the person feels worse and is even more distracted and unable to concentrate.
What Can You Do?
You might be reading this article and saying, “Hey! That sounds just like me!” If so, we’re glad you recognize that this happens to you. ______72_____ Here are some ways to do that;
☆Ask for help
Talk to your mom or dad, your teacher, or your school guidance counselor (辅导员). Just talking to someone about test anxiety can make you feel better. Describe what happens to you when you're taking a test and these people can help you figure out some solutions. For instance, learning study skills can boost your test-day confidence.
☆______73_____
Pay attention in class. Do your homework.
☆Expect the best
______74_____ Say to yourself, “I studied and I'm ready to do my best.”
☆Block bad thoughts
Watch out for any negative messages (“I'm no good at taking tests” or “I'm going to freak out if I get a bad grade”). These thoughts can make anxiety worse and make it harder for you to do well in the test.
☆Accept mistakes
Everyone makes mistakes and be more forgiving of your own mistakes, especially if you prepared for the test and are set to do your best.
☆Take care of yourself
You'll feel your best if you get enough playtime, sleep, and nutritious food. This is important all the time, but be extra-sure you get all three the day before a test.
☆Breathe better
Did you know that breathing exercises can help calm you down? (Just try not to take in too much air because it might make you feel dizzy.) Here is how to do it. ______75_____ Do this two to four times and you just might breathe easier the next time you're taking a test!
A. Breathe in slowly and deeply through your nose, and then breathe out slowly through your mouth.
B. Be prepared
C. Take food and nutrition into consideration.
D. Once you have prepared, think positively.
E. Focusing on the bad things that could happen can make a kid feel more worried.
F. He might often think about what would happen to him.
G. Now you can start taking steps to lessen your test anxiety.

[1]A long red bridge stretches out across water. It runs across the Golden Gate. This is not the entrance to some sacred land，but it is just as magical. The Golden Gate is where San Francisco Bay meets the Pacific Ocean, and at night the scene of the bridge lit up over the water takes your breath away.
[2]Welcome to San Francisco, a place famous for its beautiful parks, hilly streets and lovely beaches. But the bridge is undoubtedly the most well-known symbol of the city. Before its completion in 1937, the bridge was considered impossible to build because of the foggy weather ,powerful winds, and strong ocean currents in the city. However, despite the difficult conditions, the bridge was built in no more than four years. Its total length is nearly 2 kilometers.
[3]San Francisco ranks first on Lonely Planet’S list of best cities to visit in 2013. According to the world’s largest travel publisher, it came top as a result of its cultural mix.
[4]According to the US 2010 census (人口普查）, 21 percent of the city’s population is made up of Chinese people. San Francisco’s Chinatown is the largest outside of Asia and the oldest in North America. Two traditional festivals, the Spring Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, are the biggest events of the year on the city’s calendar.
[5]If yellow cabs are a key part of New York city life, then the cable car is San Francisco’s equivalent. The first cable car came into public service in 1873, and the slow and noisy vehicle has been a symbol of the city ever since.

The television news feature about Ben Heckmann, an eighth grader from Farmington, Minn, was breathless in its praise. “At 14, he has accomplished something many adults can’t achieve,” the reporter said, “Ben is a twice-published author.” But Ben’s two “Velvet Black” books, describing a fictional rock band, were not picked from a pile of manuscripts（手稿）by an eagle eyed publisher. They were self-published, at the cost of $400 by Ben’s parents.
Over the past five years, print-on-demand technology and a growing number of self publishing companies whose books can be sold online have inspired writers of all ages to avoid the traditional gatekeeping system for determining who could call himself a “published author.”
The mothers and fathers who foot the bill say they are simply trying to encourage their children, in the same way that other parents buy equipment for a promising baseball player. But others see self-publishing as a lost opportunity to teach children about hardship and perseverance. Mr. Robbins, a critic, thinks it is wonderful to start writing at a young age, but worries self-publishing sends the wrong message. “There are no prodigies(神童) in literature,” he said. “Literature requires experience, in a way that mathematics and music do not.” Alan Rinzler, a publishing industry veteran, suggested parents hire a professional editor like him to work with their child to tear a manuscript apart and help make a better. Ben’s father, Ken, said Ben’s ambitions “weren’t to knock Harry Potter off the list,” but “to get that good feeling inside that you’ve done something.”
Ajla Dizdarevic, 12, who has self-published two books of poetry, has been on television and in local newspapers. “Being a published author,” she said, “was always a dream of mine.” Her new dream: three books by age 15.
1.Which of the following is true of Ben?
A．He has achieved something unusual for his age.
B．His self-published books were well received.
C．His manuscripts were favored by the publisher.
D．He was thought little of by the public media.
2.What makes it possible for writers of all ages to self-publish their works?
A．The rapid increase of online readership.
B．The increasing number of publishers.
C．The immediate access to marketing agencies.
D．The development of printing and publishing.
3.Why do some parents pay the self-publishing bill?
A．They want to offer opportunities to their children.
B．They want to give encouragement to their children.
C．They want to help their children avoid hardship.
D．They want to show love and care for their children.
4.What dose Alan Rinzler suggest that children should do?
A．Be forbidden to write books
B．Start writing at an early age
C．Be professionally guided
D．Learn from experience
5.Why do some children self-publish works according to the last part?
A．Just to achieve their dreams.
B．Just to earn more money.
C．Just to gain self-confidence.
D．Just to satisfy their parents.

There is only one winner and in this case it is Gina Rinehart who has won it all. In her own words, "beauty is an iron mine", Gina suggested her recipe for glory and fame. She has been announced as the richest woman of the world by BRW (formerly Business Review Weekly) in May 2012. Let's read more about her life and journey to the top.
Georgina "Gina" Hope Rinehart was born on 9th February, 1954 in Perth, Western Australia, to Hope Margaret Nicholas and Lang Hancock, the mining king. Her father discovered one of the world's biggest reserves in the early 1950s. Gina gained lots of knowledge of the iron-ore industry while working with her father. She married an Englishman Greg Milton, at the age of 19 and together they had two children, John Langley and Bianca Hope. Soon the marriage broke off and she remarried in 1983. Frank Rinehart and Gina had two children: Ginia and Hope. Frank died in 1990. Since then, Gina has devoted herself to her work and empire.
She was the sole heir (唯一继承人) of her family's wealth. Then after her father died in 1992, she started her professional career as the Executive Chairman of Hancock Prospecting Pty Limited (HPPL) and other privately owned group of companies. At that time, the company centered its functioning to mining-related explorations and accumulation of vast mining leases (租约). From there, Rinehart worked her way towards transforming the leases into profit earning mines. She also worked together with other companies to raise capital. Her efforts made the business increase three times in 2011 as much as before.
At home, Rinehart was working to expand the family business, but she did not satisfy herself with it. In 2010, she stepped into the media industry by acquiring 10% stake (股份) in Ten Network Holdings. Afterwards, she went on to hold stake in Fairfax Media, proving that mining is not her only interest. In June 2012, by increasing her stake in Fairfax to 18.67%, she became the largest stakeholder in the company. With this, she now stands at the head of $US 29.3 billion worth of an empire. Two new projects related to the mining sector in Central Queensland and Roy Hill are expected to begin in 2013.
Gina Rinehart has made her way from being Australia's Richest Woman to Australia's Richest Person and then to World's Richest Woman.
1.According to Gina Rinehart, what makes her successful and famous?
