When I arrived to collect her, the building was dark. Many drivers would have honked(鸣喇叭) once or twice, waited a minute, and then driven away. But I realized that this passenger might need my help so I walked to the door and knocked. A small woman in her 80s opened the door.I took her suitcase to the cab then returned to help the woman. She thanked me for my kindness.“Its nothing, I told her. “I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother treated.When we got in the cab, she gave me an address then asked: “Could you drive through downtown?“Its not the shortest way, I answered quickly.“I dont mind, she said. “Im in no hurry.

(B) Do you feel so nervous in exams that you have trouble writing answers to questions that you knew just the night before? If so, you likely have a case of test anxiety. But, don't fear. By recognizing the problem, you are taking the first step towards overcoming it. Believe it or not, a touch of nervousness can sharpen your mind, allowing you to perform more quickly. This is because under stress, the body gives out the hormone adrenaline which prepares it for something important that will happen. However, too much anxiety can result in sleeplessness, loss of appetite before tests, and poor performance. Some people might feel hot or even sick. If you worry a lot or are a perfectionist, you are more likely to have trouble with test anxiety. Those who have prepared poorly for a test or have had negative experiences taking tests may also experience test anxiety. When you feel a storm of anxiety coming on, stop what you're doing and make your mind a blank. If possible, actually tell yourself to "STOP!" This will get your mind off the stress. Then think of being at a place of comfort and let your body relax. As you continue the test, find questions you know the answers to and answer them first. This will help gain your confidence. Talk to yourself using positive language. Make it a habit to rep
