(38) Make a list of those things that are making you nervous and work out which ones you can do something about. Focus all of your efforts on managing the causes that you can control.Most people cannot tell the difference between controllable and uncontrollable causes, so things they cant control become a big reason for nervousness. Dealing with this is very important if people want to keep a healthy mind.Simply try to accept the uncontrollable causes of nervousness. You might be worried about the weather on a big day, an accident or an attack on the train, or perhaps just things that other people are doing at work. The results may be very important but there is still no use worrying because you cant control any of these things Accept that you cant control everything. Once you understand this, it becomes easier not to worry.If a situation, such as swimming, is causing you to be nervous, try to face it as often as possible so that you can get used to it.It can often help to think about yourself doing the thing that makes you nervous, and then close your eyes and imagine it going well. Imagine how the flight or job interview is going to happen so that you can get used to it. This will help you understand that the thing you worry about most is probably not going to happen.（1）What should you do first if you are feeling nervous?A . Have a good rest.B . Talk about it with others.C . Try to find the causes that make you nervous.D . Stop thinking about the things that make you nervous.（2）Why does the writer think there is no use worrying about some causes of nervousness?A . Because most of them are not very important.B . Because they are not the real causes of the problem.C . Because they cannot be controlled by people.D . Because its better to deal with one cause at a time.（3）If swimming makes you nervous, what should you do according to the writer?A . Go swimming often to get used to it.B . Avoid going to the swimming pool.C . Find a good swimming teacher.D . Imagine watching others swim.（4）What is the main purpose of this passage?A . To introduce the writers sports experience.B . To give advice on how to deal with nervousness.C . To help people forget their fears.D . To explain the dangers of nervousness.20. （10分）阅读下面短文，从下面每小题的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Life is like the four seasons. Now I am very old, but when I was young, it was the spring of my life. I was born.

Then you cannot pay enough attention during a test or in your study. If so, then you know that is stress. You are worried too much about something. The bad feeling in your mind can make you angry, sad, or scared, and can even give you a stomachache or a headache.However, some kind of stress is good. You might feel excited when you are called to give a speech at school. You feel nervous but excited. This kind of stress can help you to get things well done. And you may do a better job in your test if the stress pushes you to prepare more beforehand(提前).On the other hand, bad stress can last long if you are unable to come over your problems. You may not feel well, if your parents are having a quarrel, if a family member is badly ill, if youre doing poorly at school, or if anything else makes you unhappy. That kind of stress isnt going to help you. And it can actually let you do worse in your daily life.The best way to fight the stress is to have a balanced life. Make sure you get enough sleep and eat properly. Have some regular exercise. You should take some time for fun. Get advice from your parents, teachers and friends. Soon after that, youll probably get away with your stress.Title: Face the _Meaning of stressStress is a feeling if you _too much about something that you cannot solve.Possible effectYou may feel _in your mind and body.DifferentkindsGood stressYou might feel _when you speak in public.You will do the job well.It makes you _more before doing an important job._stressStress can last long if you are _to come over your problem
