How to Calm Your Teen's Nerves before an Exam

Stress is a feeling of physical and mental of emotional strain of tension, which disturbs or interferes with normal physiological balance. Stress can be overwhelming for anyone, but it can be especially difficult for a teen that has not yet developed effective coping skills. A major source of teen stress is school exams, and test anxiety is not uncommon. So, how can parents help their teen stay calm before an exam?

    Recognize when your teen is under stress.

    Teens can feel an immense pressure to do well on exams. For some teens, just the idea of taking the test can bring them into a panic(恐慌).  71  Emotional symptoms include: excessive of uncontrollable drying, aggression or mood swings, and panic attacks.

    What should parents do?

    --Be involved

    Parents need to be involved in their teen's work. What they look for is your presence--to talk, to dry, or simply to sit with them quietly. Communicate openly with your teen.  72__

    --Help them get organized

    Help your teen think about what she has to study and plan accordingly.  73 

    --Give them a nutritious diet

It's important for your teen to eat a healthy, balanced diet during exam times to focus and do her best.  74  if this happens, encourage your teen to eat light meals or sandwiches. A healthy diet. rather than junk food, is best for reducing stress.

    --Show a positive attitude

      75  If you panic, blame, or apply to much pressure, your teen will have an undue increase in their stress levels. Make your teen feel accepted and valued for her efforts. Most important, reassure your teens that things will be all right, no matter what the results are.

A. 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.

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

C. Physical symptoms of stress and anxiety include: lack of sleep, difficulty breathing, loss of appetite of irregular eating

D. Encourage your teen to relax

E. Encourage your teen to express his worries and fears, but don't let them focus on those fears.

F. Your teen may also make negative comments about themselves

G. Exam stress can make some teens lose their appetite

Research suggests that a newly-identified gene known as insomniacs(失眠症患者) may play a role in keeping us asleep. By cloning and testing this gene in about 21,000 fruit flies, Rockefeller University researchers say they have discovered an entirely new mechanism (机制) by which sleep is controlled.

By studying these flies, the researchers discovered that mutations(变异) in the insomniac gene were associated with a great reduction in sleep. While a typical fruit fly slept for an average of 927 minutes a day, the mutant flies slept for just 317. They also slept for shorter periods of time, and slept and woke more frequently.

“The results showed a great loss of both the time that the flies’ sleep lasted and their ability to remain asleep after they slept,” says researcher Nicholas Stavropoulos.

The researchers also examined the link between sleep and lifespan, finding that flies with mutations to the insomniac gene lived only about two-thirds as long as unchanged flies. But when the scientists removed insomniac only in neurons（神经细胞）---allowing it to remain in the rest of the flies’ bodies---this difference disappeared; the resulting animals slept poorly but lived just as long.

“This suggests that reduced sleep can be ‘uncoupled’(分开) from reduced lifespan, supporting the idea that some interruptions of sleep do not affect overall health, at least as far as lifespan is concerned,” Stavropoulos says.

Although flies and humans would appear to have little in common when it comes to lifestyle, scientists say that the mechanisms of sleep and wakefulness are likely to be quite similar.

“Sleep is a fundamental behavior in all animals, and it is poorly understood from a scientific standpoint, says Stavropoulos. This work could prove useful in understanding and treating sleep disorders”

Ashley and Chris work in the same department designing postcards. Chris had a college degree in art and deeply felt that the degree of his designs was excellent. His last postcard showed the depth of a desert’s beauty and delights.

“It’s just a picture of the desert,” Ashley said. “Not deep at all.”

“Some people desire seeing beauty,” Chris replied. “Mine delivers that”.

Ashley laughed and said, “well, that depends on what you think beauty is.”

Days later, someone delivered a letter to Ashley. The letter said, “You are worthy of the bad things that will come your way. You will know the taste of defeat, and I will destroy you.”

Ashley suddenly felt very cold. It was as if the room temperature had dropped 30 degrees. “Who would do such a shocking deed?” she wondered. “I will not let a simple letter defeat me.”

Just then, Chris came into the room and offered Ashley a piece of his sandwich.

“Try some,” he smiled widely. “It’s delicious.”

“Are you trying to poison me?” Ashley asked. Chris’s answer was delayed from confusion. “What’s your problem?” he asked.

The next day, Ashley brought a bat to use to defend herself. When Chris saw her bat, he joked, “Defend and win one for the team.”

Ashley took no notice of him. She spent the whole day reading self-defending books and placed her work on delay. “You can’t delay your work. Our job demands us to do our work on time,” Chris said. “We must meet the demands of our job.”

“You‘re not the boss,” Ashley replied. “Don’t make demands of me.”

Because Ashley failed to do her work, she was fired.

Chris glanced at Ashley’s empty desk and smiled.

    President Barack Obama has complained about the loss of privacy that comes with being leader of the United States, regretting the loss of simple pleasures such as a long walk or a trip to the car wash or supermarket．

      "I just miss - I miss being anonymous," he said "I miss Saturday morning, rolling out of bed, not shaving, getting into my car with my girls, driving to the supermarket, squeezing the fruit, getting my car washed, taking walks. I can't take a walk． "

      His dream, he said, was to "go through Central Park and watch folks passing by．．． spend the day watching people --- I miss that"．

Faced with angry criticism for playing more golf than most previous occupants of the White House, he explained that the sport was simply the best way of getting away from it all． "It's the only excuse I have to get outside for four hours." he told Hearst magazines．

Though he said he enjoyed his life in the White House, he felt disappointed with some of the ways of Washington, which he has failed in his pledge to change, such as the "kabuki dance" （日本歌舞）among political parties before serious policy discussions begin． His comments may be seen as vindication （证实） by critics who have accused him of appearing too detached （漠然）, and being slow to engage in vital issues such as Libya and the near shutdown of the US government last week．

Since arriving at the White House in January 2009, Mr. Obama has already racked up （打）60 rounds of golf in office, more than George W Bush did in his eight years．

It was my first year teaching in a special needs class, and I wasn’t sure what to expect at our yearly Special Olympics sports meeting. My   36   had some challenges, from learning disabilities to cerebral palsy（大脑性麻痹）.

Mark was one with the latter. Restricted to a   37  , he had to fight his spasms （抽筋） just to control his movements.   38  , he always had a positive attitude and greeted everyone with a huge smile.

His classmates   39   him and always took the time to make sure he was included in group activities, especially Mike, Andy and Lucas, three boys who were good at   40  . Obviously, Mark wanted to be like them, unrestricted by the limitation of his   41   and watching them moving on the playing field seemed to fill him with   42  .

When the day came, Mike, Andy and Lucas   43   well in their sports events, and gave the normally calm audience something to cheer about. Mark sat in his wheelchair on the sidelines,     44   them on.

The final event of the day was the 400 meter race.   45   was invited to either walk or run, according to their ability, around the   46   length of the track.

When Mike, Andy and Lucas reached the finish line, they   47   and turned to look behind them. At the   48   of the crowd, determined not to be left behind, was Mark. All his classmates had   49   him. He was alone on the track with over half the distance left to   50  .

Mike, Andy and Lucas looked at each other, and a silent   51   passed between them. Slowly, they jogged   52   towards their friend, cheering him on   53   he had done for them moments before.

The progress was   54  , but in the end the three star runners and Mark crossed the finish line together to the enthusiastic cries of their teachers and classmates.
