18、rado 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

19、and fear. I couldnt think of the answer. My low grades on the tests did not show what I knew to the teacher. Another student in biology had similar experiences. He said, My first chemistry test was very difficult. Then, on the second test, I sat down to take it, and I was so nervous that I was shaki

20、ng. 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 couldnt even write them down!? These two young students were experiencing something called test anxiety. Because a student worries and is uneasy about a test, his or

21、her mind does not work as well as it usually does. The studentA：Special university advising courses try to help students.

22、 (heir anxiety is high, the students can take short courses to help them deal with (heir tensions. 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 in

23、formation then comes out without difficulty on a test.B：An expert ? at the University of California explains, With almost all students, relaxation and less stress are felt after taking our program.

But today opponents (反对者 ) have so complicated its development that no nuclear plants have been orde

28、red or built here in 12 years.? The greatest fear of nuclear power opponents has always been a reactor meltdown. Today, the chances of a meltdown that would threaten U. S. public health are very little. But to even further reduce the possibility, engineers are testing new reactors that rely not on h

29、uman judgment to shut them down but on the laws of nature. Now General Electric is already building two advanced reactors in Japan. But dont expect them even on U. S. shores unless things change in Washington.A：The procedure for licensing nuclear power plants is a bad dream. Any time during, or even

30、 after, construction, an objection by any group or individual can bring everything to a halt while the matter is investigated or taken to court. Meanwhile, the builder must add nice-but-not-necessary improvements, some of which force him to knock down walls and start over. In every case when a plant

31、 has been opposed, the Nuclear Regulation Commission has ultimately granted a license to construct or operate. But the victory often costs so much that the utility ends up abandoning the plant anyway.B：A case in point is the Shoreham plant on New Yorks Long Island. Shoreham was a virtual twin to the

32、 Millstone plant in Connecticut, both ordered in the mid-60s. Millstone, completed for $ 101 million, has been generating electricity for two decades. Shoreham, however, was singled out by antinuclear activists who, by sending in endless protests, drove the cost over $ 5 billion and delayed its use

33、for many years.C：Shore27.What has made the procedure for licensing nuclear power plants a bad dream?A：The inefficiency of the Nuclear Regulation Commission.B：The enormous cost of construction and operation.C：The length of time it takes to make investigations.D：The objection of the opponents of nucle

37、y. The first name comes from the verb to cop (which is also slang ) , meaning to take or to capture , and the second comes from the first name of Sir Robert Peel, the nineteenth-century politician, who was the founder of the police force as we know it today. An early nickname for the policeman was p

38、eeler, but this one has died out.? Whatever we may call them, the general opinion of the police seems to be a favorable one; except, of course, among the criminal part of the community where the police are given more derogatory nicknames which originated in America, such as fuzz or pig. Visitors to

39、England seem nearly always to be very impressed by the English police. It has, in fact, become a standing joke that the visitor to Britain, when asked for his views of the country, will always say, at some point or other, I think your policemen are wonderful. A：Well, the British bobby may not always

40、 be wonderful but he is usually a very friendly and helpful sort of character. A music-hall song of some years ago was called If You Want To Know The Time, Ask A Policeman. Nowadays, most people own watches but they still seem to find plenty of other questions to ask the policeman. In London, the po

41、licemen spend so much of their time directing visitors about the city that one wonders how they ever find time to do anything else!B：Two things are immediately noticeable to the stranger when he sees an English policeman for the first time. The first is that he does not carry a pistol (手枪) and the s

42、econd is that he wears a very distinctive type of headgear, the policemans helmet. His helmet, together with his height, enable an English policeman to be seen from a considerable distance, a fact that is not without its usefulness. From time to time it is suggested that the policeman should be give

43、n a pistol and that his helmet should be taken from him, but both these32.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A：There are fewer criminals in America than in Britain.B：The English police usually leave a deep impression on visitors.C：The British bobby is friendly but not helpful.D：The English po

S. children ride school

46、buses. The safety record for these buses is much better than for passenger cars; but nevertheless, about 10 children are killed each year riding on large school buses, and nearly four times that number are killed outside buses in the loading zones. By and large, however, the nations school children

47、are transported to and from school safely.A：Even though the number of school bus casualties(死亡人数) is not large, the safety of children is always of intense public concern. While everyone wants to see children transported safely, people are divided about what needs to be doneparticularly whether seat

48、 belts should be mandatory (强制性的)?B：Supporters of seat belts on school buses argue that seat belts are necessary not only to reduce death and injury, but also to teach children lessons about the importance of using them routinely in any moving vehicle. A side benefit, they point out, is that seat belts help keep children in their seats, away from the bus driver.C：O
