A boy was born to a couple after eleven years of marriage. They were a loving couple and loved the
boy very much. When the boy was around two years old, one morning the husband saw a medicine
bottle open. He was late for office so he asked his wife to cap the bottle and put it back into the
cupboard in the bathroom. However, his wife, busy, in the kitchen, totally forgot the matter.
The boy saw the bottle and playfully went to the bottle, fascinated by its color and drank it all. It
happened to contain a kind of medicine for adults with poisonous and side effects. When the child broke
down,the mother hurried him to the hospital. But he finally died. The mother was shocked. She was
terrified how she was going to face her husband.
When the desperate father came to the hospital and saw the dead child, he looked at his wife and
voiced five words. The husband just said "I am with you, Darling." The husband"s totally unexpected
reaction is a positive behavior. The child is dead. He can never be brought back to life. There is no point
in finding fault with the mother. Besides, if only he had taken time to keep the bottle away, this would
not have happened. No one is to be blamed. She had also lost her only child. What she needed at that
moment was comfort and sympathy from the husband. That is what he gave her.
If everyone can look at life with this kind of viewpoint, there would be much fewer problems in the
world. Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness, and fears and you will find things
are actually not as difficult as you think. Sometimes we spend time asking who is responsible or whom
to blame, whether in a relationship, in a job or with the people we know. By this way we miss out some
warmth in human relationship.
1. The uncapped medicine bottle was not put back into the cupboard because ________.
B. the husband was busy
C. the wife wasn"t informed of the matter
D. the wife ignored the matter
B. It appeared like a nice drink.
C. It was broken by the child.
D. It was kept in the kitchen.
B. confident
C. considerate
D. generous
B. It is always useless finding who is responsible.
C. Think of nothing and life will be easy.

| Anne Whitney, a sophomore at Colorado State University, first had a problem taking tests when she began college. "I was always well prepared for my tests. Sometimes I studied for weeks before a test. Yet I would go in to take the test, only to find I could not answer the questions correctly. I would blank out because of nervousness and fear. I couldn"t think of the answer. My low grades on the tests did not show what I knew to the teacher." Another student in microbiology had similar experiences. He said, "My first chemistry test was very difficult. Then, on the second test, I sat down to take it, but I was so nervous that I was shaking. My hands were moving up and down so quickly that it was hard to hold my pencil. I knew the material and I knew the answers. Yet I couldn"t even write them down!" These two young students were experiencing something called test anxiety. Because a student worries and he is uneasy about a test, his or her mind does not work as well as it usually does. The student can"t write or think clearly because of the extreme tension and nervousness. Although poor grades are often a result of poor study habits, sometimes test anxiety causes the low grades. Recently, test anxiety has been recognized as a real problem, not just an excuse or a false explanation of lazy students. Special university counseling courses try to help students. In these courses, counselors try to help students by teaching them how to manage test anxiety. At some universities, students take tests to measure their anxiety. If the tests show their anxiety is high, the students can take short courses to help them deal with their tension. These courses teach students how to relax their bodies. Students are trained to become calm in very tense situations. By controlling their nervousness, they can let their minds work at ease. Learned information then comes out without difficulty on a test. An expert at the University of California explains. "With almost all students, relaxation and less stress are felt after taking our program. Most of them experience better control during their tests. Almost all have some improvement. With some, the improvement is very great." | |||||||||
