this condition is most commonly seen in children, typically between the ages of 8-13, and it can be very upsetting, especially if it is allowed to progress. symptoms include stomach aches, tiredness, shaking, a racing heart and frequent trips to the toilet.this common phobia is associated with a wide variety of causes. most commonly it is the result of separation anxiety, but it can also be caused by different kinds of stress. a child who has recently moved, suffered a loss, or gone through a divorce may develop school phobia, and phobias can also develop in response to bullying (欺侮), an unrecognized learning disability, and poor self-image. understanding the cause of a school phobia is an important step in providing treatment.a child with school phobia usually refuses to go to school, or protests violently. he or she may become physically ill when ordered to school, or pretend to be sick to avoid going. when the child arrives at school, he or she may run away, or develop behavioural problems in class and on the playground. when school is discussed, the child can become impatient, upset or angry.many techniques can be used to manage school phobia, but research suggests that much more effective treatment is required for school phobia to prevent problems developing in later life. children with this condition usually benefit from seeing a psychologist or doctor who can help the child and provide assistance to help parents and school officials support the child. as soon as a school phobia is identified, parents should take action too. like other phobias, school phobia gets worse the longer it is left untreated, and it can interfere with a childs success in school. adjustments can be made at home and in the classroom to help. if bullying is a cause, for example, the bullying situation should be solved. a teacher can meet the child at the door and take him or her to class, and provide support so that the child feels a friendly adult is always available.changes at home can include supportive language from parents, along with support like assistance with homework. if a child lacks confidence, parents may encourage the child to take up new hobbies that will help them to feel good about themselves. parents might also talk to their children about their own fears of school and how they got over them, and their own enjoyment of school and school-like activities. by following these methods we can help children to dispel their school phobia.36. which of the following topics is not discussed in the passage? a. the definition of school phobia. b. the history of school phobia. c. the causes of school phobia. d. the effects of school phobia.37. what is a useful treatment for school phobia according to the passage? a. teachers should

rice”, which is enriched with vitamin a. but many people believe gm foods are a health risk. at the moment, the official argument is that gm foods “are not likely to present risks for human health”.

bodies. further harm could be caused by the genes from gm plants crossbreeding with naturally produced cropspeople in china are also getting worried about gm foods. more than 70 percent of the countrys soybean oil is produced from imported gm soybeans. meanwhile, an investigation last november found that 12 of 60 famous foods sold across the country were gm products. the government has
