I am a professor of sports and exercise so I often deal with nervousness in my research with sports people.Actually, most people experience nervousness at some time or another.
If you are feeling anxious, my advice is to first find the cause or causes.Make s list of those things that are making you nervous and work out which ones you can do something about.Focus all of your efforts on managing the causes that you can control.
Most people cannot tell the difference between controllable(可控制的) and uncontrollable causes, so things they can’t control become a big reason for nervousness.Dealing with this is very important if people want to keep a healthy mind.
Simply try to accept the uncontrollable causes of nervousness.You might be worried about the weather on a big day, an accident or an attack on the train, or perhaps just things that other people are doing at work.The results may be very important but there is still no use worrying because you can’t control any of these things.Accept that you can’t control everything.Once you understand this, it becomes easier not to worry.
If a situation, such as swimming, is causing you to be anxious, try to face it as often as possible so that you can get used to it.
It can often help to think about yourself doing the thing that make s you nervous—then close your eyes and imagine it going well.Imagine how the flight or job interview is going to happen so that you can get used to it.This will help you understand that the thing you fear most is probably not going to happen.The writer thinks there is no use worrying about some causes of nervousness because_____.
| A.most are not very important |
| B.they are not the real causes of the problem |
| C.they cannot be controlled by people |
| D.it’s better to deal with one cause at a time |

| A.Go swimming often to get used to it. |
| B.Avoid going to the swimming pool. |
| C.Find a swimming teacher. |
| D.Imagine watching others swim. |
What is true about nervousness according to the passage?
| A.It usually has only one cause. |
| B.It is usually caused by people. |
| C.People can easily manage it. |
| D.Most people suffer from it. |
What is the main purpose of this passage?
| A.To introduce the writer’s sports experience. |
| B.To advise on how to deal with nervousness. |
| C.To help people remember their fears. |
| D.To explain the dangers of nervousness. |
We were standing at the top of a church tower.My father had brought me to this high tower in a small town not far from our home in Rome.I wondered why.
“Look down, Elsa," Father said.I gathered all my courage and looked down.I saw the square in the center of the village.And I saw several streets leading to the square.“See, my dear,”Father said gently.“There is more than one way to the square.Life is like that.If you can't get to the place where you want to go by one road, try another."
Now I understood why I was there.Earlier that day I had begged my mother to do something about the bad lunches that were served at school.But she refused because she could not believe the lunches were as bad as I said.
When I turned to Father for help, he would not help.Instead, he brought me to this high tower to give me a lesson.By the time we reached home, I had a plan.
At school the next day, I poured my lunch soup into a bottle and brought it home.Then I asked our cook to serve it to Mother at dinner.The plan worked perfectly.She tried one spoonful and sputtered.“The cook must have gone mad!” Quickly I told what I had done, and Mother promised that she would take up the matter of lunches at school the next day!
In the years that followed I often remembered the lesson Father taught me.I began to work as a fashion designer two years ago.I wouldn’t stop working until I tried every possible way.Father’s wise words always remind me that there is more than one way to the square.Father brought Elsa to the top of the church tower to_________________.
| A.have sports with Elsa |
