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 parents help your teen stay calm before an exam?

Be involved. Parents need to be involved in their teen’s work. 【1】 _ What they look for is your presence — to talk, to cry, or simply to sit with them quietly. Communicate openly with your teen. Encourage your teen to express her worries and fears, but don’t let them focus on those fears.

Help them get organized. 【2】 Together , you and your teen can work out a time-table in which she can study for what she 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 them a nutritious diet. It is important for your teen to eat a healthy, balanced diet during exam times to focus and do her 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 teenager to get some sleep and /or do something active when she needs a real break from studying. Making time for relaxation, fun, and exercise are all important in reducing stress. Help your teen balance her time so that she 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 her efforts. Most importantly, reassure your teen that things will be all right, no matter what the results are.

A. A parent's attitude will dictate their teen’s emotions.

B. Exam stress can make some teens lose their appetite.

C. They will only make the situation worse.

【解析】

试题分析：随着升学压力的来临，考试越来越难。本文讲述的就是如何减缓考试焦虑症的一篇科普文，文章以每个段落开头为中心句为形式，展开讨论。

【1】E Communicate openly with your teen.（要和你的孩子坦诚的交流）可以看出做父母的应该和自己的孩子聊天，去了解他们的世界。但是在沟通之前，父母做的是要仔细聆听孩子的问题，所以答案选择E。

【2】F 根据段首的Help them get organized（帮助他们学会井井有条处理事情）以及后面的time-table可以看出这里是谈论父母应该怎样帮组学生更加有效的处理问题的方法。

【3】B 该空位于段落的中间，自然而然是起到承上或者起下的作用。根据If this happens, encourage your teen to eat light meals or sandwiches.该句的this指代的就是该空的内容，又根据后面的encourage可以判断出当孩子失去胃口的时候，父母应该怎样做。

【4】 D 该空位于段落的开头，显然是总领该句子的中心句。根据下文的she needs a real break from studying.说明孩子需要从学习当中解脱出来，需要学会适当的放松与休息。

【5】A 根据前文的positive可以知道这里讲的是应该树立一个积极的心态，再根据后面的Your panic, anxiety and blame contribute to your teen’s pressure.可以看出如果你的局促不安，焦虑与责备会给孩子增加压力。显然这里是以一个父母的身份来说的，所以答案选择A。
