This student was experiencing something called test anxiety. Because a student worries and is uneasy about a test, his or her mind does not work as well as it usually does. The student cannot 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 course 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 minds. 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 talking our program. Most of them experience better control during their tests. Almost all have some improvement. With some, the improvement is very great.

Whether at home or in a restaurant, meals in Brazil are sacred(神圣的) ; a time to eat, but also to share precious moments with family and friends. Now, here's a Brazilian custom I miss enormously: a decent, sit-down, leisurely-paced lunch and/or dinner. To this day, I have to keep reminding myself, "what's the big hurry？ " and I confess that one of the things I look forward to, when I go to Brazil, is the "family" meal. We have a joke that, if you see people sitting around a table in the US, having lunch for longer than 1/2 hour, it must be a business lunch. And also, sitting at your desk and eating lunch while you work is incomprehensible to most Brazilians, who leave their offices to eat with their colleagues and friends in restaurants and cafes. You guess, lunch is usually a more substantial meal than in the U.S.
(68) For lunch and, depending on the location, also dinner, Brazilians have wonderful, inexpensive restaurants where home-style. meals are sold by kilo. You just pile the food on your plate and someone will weigh it for you. The same goes for desserts. You order drinks from your waiter and pay him at the end of your meal.
Dinner is served much later than in the U. S. In the big cities, children are a common sight in restaurants at night, since Brazilians will take their kids out to dinner at all hours. As a result of this and the traditional Sunday lunches, Brazilian kids learn table manners at an early age. For many of my Brazilian friends, dinner is a lighter meal of bread, cheese and cold cuts. So expect either type of meal.
In Brazil, people usually have meals______.
A．in a hurry at restaurants
B．in a leisurely manner
C．at their desk in the office
D．for less than 1/2 hour
A．their friends ask them to do so
B．it often rains in England
C．they are going to sell them
D．they are their favorite things

rst began college. She said, “I was always well-prepared for my examination. But I would go in to class to take the exam, and I would fall apart. I could not answer the questions correctly—even though I knew the answers! I would just blank out because of nervousness and fear.” Hitoshi Sakamoto, an anthropology student at Temple University in Tokyo reports similar experiences.
These two young students were experiencing something called test anxiety. Because a student worries and is stressed about a test, his or her mind does not work as well as it usually does. The student cannot write or think clearly because of the severe tension and nervousness.
Now there are special university courses to help students. In these courses, advisors and psychologists try to help students by teaching them to, manage test anxiety. Such a course helps students learn to live with stress and not fail because of it. First students take a practice test to measure their worry level. If the tests show that their stress level is high, the students can take a short course to manage the fear. These courses teach students how to relax their bodies. They get training to become calm in very tense situations. By controlling their nervousness, they can let their minds work more easily. Learned information then comes out without difficulty on a test.
Doreen Sykora saw immediate results after taking such a course. She now has enthusiasm about the relaxation methods. “Mostly, what I do is imagine myself in a very calm place. Then I imagine myself picking up a pencil. I move slowly and carefully. I breathe easily and let all the tension out. With each breath, more worry leaves me. It really works too. My grades have improved great! I’m really doing well at McGill now. This relaxation method works not only on examinations, but it has improved the rest of my life as well.”
For Hitoshi in Tokyo, the results were the same. He is enjoying school a lot more and learning more.

JOHN: Have you had a chance to look over the contract？
LORRIE: Yes．I've read it carefully.
JOHN: And do you have any questions？
LORRIE: No．But the contract stipulates that I will teach 22 hours a week．Will you have that many classes for me right away？
JOHN: No, probably not．For the first two weeks you may teach 10 or 15 hours.
LORRIE : But my salary will be 1 100 dollars a month．Will you pay me that much for the first month？ Because, I mean, I won't be working so many hours.
JOHN: I understand．That's why I didn't write the date on the contract．For the first two weeks, we will pay you according to the hours you teach．When you have 22 hours of classes, then the contract will take effect．Is that alright with you？
LORRIE: Oh, so I don't sign the contract today．Is that right？
JOHN: I don't want you to misunderstand, Miss Briggs．We are very serious about hiring you．We want you to teach for us．We usually do contracts this way because it is more convenient.
LORRIE: I can accept that.
JOHN: Good．And your benefits will begin immediately.
LORRIE: Even my health insurance？
JOHN: Yes．We will apply for your health insurance tomorrow．And your free membership in the club starts today if you like.
LORRIE: I have a few questions about the free membership.
JOHN: What would you like to know？
LORRIE : Is my membership the same as paying club members？ I mean, can I get discounts at club hotels？
JOHN: Absolutely．The only difference is in the restaurant and bar vouchers.
LORRIE: What are bar vouchers？
JOHN: Paying club members get around 300 dollars a year in restaurant vouchers．The vouchers can be used in the restaurant or the lounge．But we don't offer vouchers to employees.
LORRIE: But according to the contract, employees get a discount in the restaurant.
JOHN: That's fight．So in a way, it is cheaper for you than for the members．You get more benefits than they do.
LORRIE: So, for now, you want me to keep a copy of the contract．But we won't sign it yet．Is that right？
JOHN: Yes．I've prepared the contract just so that you understand everything, so that you understand the terms.
LORRIE: I understand．And according to the terms on the contract, I am happy to accept this job．I look forward to it.
JOHN: I'm very pleased．We look forward to having you here, Miss Briggs.
