Lots of people stress out about talking in front of the class or getting laughed at if they make a mistake in front of an audience. 1. The “stress hormones"that your body produces at times like these can actually help you focus.

But when worry and stress about performing get to be too much, these hormones give people that “red alert（緊急狀態(tài)）”feeling-the one that causes you to feel cold or sweaty, or get butterflies in your stomach. 2.Be prepared. 3. Rehearse（排練）as much as you can and practice in front of others at every opportunity. Most of all, think positively. Tell yourself “I'll be OK" or “ I can do this" even if you are not 100% sure of it Look after yourself. Before big performances it's easy to let taking care of yourself slip as you spend too much time on rehearsals and practice. 4. Exercise can also help you feel good, and along with sleep and nutrition, is an excellent way of keeping those stress hormones from getting out of control.

Find out what the experts do. You can find books, DVDs, and online information about how to give your best when you perform, depending on what type of performance you're preparing for. 5. Or ask the cast of your school play or your drama or music teacher how they beat stage fright. And if your parents or grandparents ever performed, they may have their own secrets to share.

A. Confidence helps beat stress hormones.

B. The following tips can help you avoid that feeling.

C. You're less likely to freeze up if you're well prepared.

D. You can do this whether you're performing alone or as part of a group.

E. Check out stories about Olympic gymnasts or your favorite star to get their tips.

F. Feeling nervous before a performance is part of your body's way of helping you do your best.

G. You'll look and feel your best if you get enough sleep and eat healthy meals before your performance.

“Success begins with belief and ends with doubt.”—Larina Kase

I remember reading through a book and the author was writing about being a reverse paranoid. In that particular section he mentions how he has a belief that the world he’s living in is out to give him everything he absolutely wants and desires.

There are times when I think to myself，“Wow，the world is out to get me and make me miserable.” Then I thought，why can’t I believe that the world is out to make me a better conversationalist. Then I started adapting to the belief of the reverse paranoia.

When I started talking to people，I truly believed that I was the most interesting person in the room. I believed that everything I said added value to the conversation. I believed that people stayed behind and chatted with me because they found me charismatic.

As a matter of fact, for about five months I wrote down on my bathroom mirror the following affirmation：“People love me and respect me. It is a privilege to talk to me. People find me interesting and charming and always want to get to know me better！”

I would say the affirmation after I brushed my teeth. And I would continue to say it until I felt completely great about myself. There were days that I just wouldn’t feel like saying it，because it would feel like a lie to me. But that’s the trouble，like the quote says，success ends when there’s doubt. And that’s why I continued until I had no doubt in my mind.

Then strange things happened，I noticed that people did find me more interesting，and that I gained more confidence in talking with people. I was more assertive(堅定自信的) at work. I was able to control politics and gossip at work to minimal levels，and became a much better manager，and developed better customer relations to the point that sales were up by 20% compared to the year before，on my best month sales were up by 39%，and this was a year that a recession was happening.

1.The main purpose of the author is to________.

A．explain how to be a reverse paranoid

B．share his personal experience in success

C．tell us the importance of positive thinking

D．a(chǎn)dvise us how to improve our communication skills

2.Before the author started adapting to the belief of the reverse paranoia，he used to ________.

A．believe the world would give him anything he desired

B．have a negative attitude towards life

C．have a strong belief in the world

D．live a miserable life

3.Sometimes the author didn’t feel like saying his affirmation because________.

A．it didn’t work as he had expected

B．he had become enthusiastic about conversations

C．he had felt great about himself

D．it didn’t sound true to himself

4.We can infer from the last paragraph that the author________.

A．didn’t believe what had happened at work

B．didn’t get along with others at work

C．had his performance at work affected by the recession

D．made great progress due to his affirmation

Mitchell lost his battle with Marfan syndrome at 26. The rare genetic disorder affects the body’s connective tissue, which is used to hold together organs, cells and tissue.

Mitchell Whisenhunt even planned his own funeral, and the funeral director said he couldn’t tell Ashley because it was Mitchell’s plan and secret. Ashley said she couldn’t help but wonder what other surprises her husband had in store. “There are ones we still don’t know about it,” she said.

When Luca first heard of the Island of Inventions, he was still very young. But its wonders sounded so incredible that they were forever burned in his memory. From that moment, he never stopped searching for clues which might lead him to the island. He read hundreds of adventure books, histories, volumes of physics and chemistry, even music.

Over time, he pieced together his idea of what the Island of Inventions was like. It was a secret place, where all the great wise men of the world would meet to learn and invent together. Access to the island was totally restricted. To join, you had to have created some great invention for humanity. Only then could you receive the special invitation — which came with directions to the island.

So Luca spent his youth studying and inventing. Every new idea he got, he made it into an invention, and if there were something he didn't understand, he’d seek others to help him. Soon he met other young inventors and he told them about the Island of Inventions. They too dreamed of one day receiving an invitation letter.

As years passed, the disappointment of not receiving their invitation made Luca and his friends work harder and co-operate more. They would meet in Luca's house, share their ideas and build new machines. Their inventions became known throughout the world, and improved the lives of millions.

But still, no invitation came.

They didn’t lose heart. They continued learning and inventing every day, trying to come up with more and better ideas. Fresh young talent joined their group, as more inventors dreamed of getting to the island.

One day many years later, Luca, already very old, was speaking with a brilliant young man named Roberts, who had written to him, asking him to join the group. Luca started telling the man of the wonderful Island of Inventions, and of how he was sure that some day they would receive an invitation. Surprised, the young inventor interrupted: “You mean this place isn’t the Island of Inventions? Isn't the letter you sent me the real invitation?”

It was only then that Luca realised that his dream had become true in his very own house. No island could exist which would be better than where he was now. No place of invention would be better than what he and his friends had created. Luca felt happy to know that he had always been on the island, and that his life of invention and study had been a truly happy one.

1.Why did Luca and his colleagues probably never receive an invitation to the island?

A. Their ideas were not considered worthy enough.

B. They were too concerned with acquiring fame.

C. The organization had already broken up.

D. The island was not a real place.

2.What did Luca learn at the end of the story?

A. The island of inventions did not exist.

B. He had wasted most of his life.

C. He had unknowingly built his own dreamland.

D. He finally would receive his invitation.

3.Which of the following best describes Luca?

A. Aggressive. B. Trusting.

C. Creative. D. Easy-going.
