Children are being cared about by their parents. However, more than three-quarters of children we
1
said they were sometimes afraid to be home alone. If you
2
your child is mature (成熟) enough to be home alone before or after school, you should make sure your house is
3
and teach your child how to handle various situations.
Make a game of your instructions. Have your child
4
questions beginning with"What would you do if" and
5
with phrases like "you lost your key" or "someone you don't know
6
the door."
In fact, the best home safety is prevention. Every home should have
7
detectors to prevent fire. Leaving a radio
8
during the day makes a home
9
occupied (有人) . Besides, as one child said, "It's frightful
10
into a quiet house." Don't leave an extra key in
11
hiding places, such as under the door mat (擦鞋垫).
12
it with a neighbor in stead.
When your
13
is home alone, the phone is a necessary link. A
14
should always be found
15
. Children should know where to find emergency (紧急情况用的)numbers, and how to
16
the phone and take a message without
17
an unknown caller find out
18
else is home. You might buy a telephone- answering machine. Your child would then be able to pick up the receiver only when he heard a
19
voice. If you help your child understand your warning, he will be more
20
of himself about staying home.

Anna Whitney, a sophomore (大学二年级学生) at Cole rado State University, first had a problem taking tests when sM began college. "I was always
1
prepared for my tests. Sometimes I studied for weeks be foretest. Yet I would go in to take the test, only to find I would not answer the questions
2
I would blank out because of nervousness and fear. couldn't think of the answers. My
3
grades on the tests di not show what I knew to the teacher. ' Another student in mi crobi典型例题ad
4
experiences. He said, "My first chemistry test was very difficult. Then, on the second test, I satr down to take it, and I was so nervous that I was
5
My hands were moving up and down so
6
that it was hard to hold my pencil. I knew the material and I knew the answers, Yet I couldn't
7
write them down!"
These two young students were
8
some thing called test anxiety (考试焦虑症). Because a student worries and is anxious about a test, his or her
9
does not work as well as it usually does. The student cannot write or think
10
because of the extreme tension and nervousness. Although poor grades are often a
11
of poor study habits, sometimes test anxiety causes the low grades. Recently, test anxiety has been recognized as a real problem not just a( n )
12
or a false ex planation of lazy students.
Special university counseling (指导) courses try to help students. In these courses, counselors try to help students by teaching them
13
to manage test anxiety. At some universities, students take tests to
14
their tension. These courses
teach students how to relax their bodies. Students are trained to become
15
in very tense situations. By controlling their nervousness, they can let their minds
16
at ease (安心地).
17
information then comes out without difficulty on a test.
An
18
at the University of Califonia explains, "With almost all students, relaxation and
19
stress are felt after taking our program. Most of them experience better control
20
their tests. Almost all have some improvement."
