阅读理解。     Anne Whitney, a sophomore at Colorado 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 and fear. I couldn"t think of the answer. My low grades on the tests
did not show what I knew to the teacher." Another student in microbiology had similar experiences. He
said, "My first chemistry test was very difficult. Then, on the second test, I sat down to take it, but I was
so nervous that I was shaking. 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 couldn"t even write them down!"
     These two young students were experiencing something called test anxiety. Because a student worries
and he is uneasy about a test, his or her mind does not work as well as it usually does. The student can"t
write or think clearly because of the extreme tension and nervousness. Although poor grades are often
a result of poor study habits, sometimes test anxiety causes the low grades. Recently, test anxiety has
been recognized as a real problem, not just an excuse or a false explanation of lazy students.
     Special university counseling courses try to help students. In these courses, counselors try to help
students by teaching them how to manage test anxiety. At some universities, students take tests to
measure their anxiety. If the tests show their anxiety is high, the students can take short courses to help
them deal with their tension. 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 information then comes out without difficulty on a test.
     An expert at the University of California explains. "With almost all students, relaxation and less stress
are felt after taking our program. Most of them experience better control during their tests. Almost all
have some improvement. With some, the improvement is very great." 1. To "blank out" in the first paragraph is probably______.A. to be like a blanket
B. to be unsure of an answer
C. to show wrong knowledge to the teacher
D. to be unable to think clearly 2. Poor grades are usually the result of _______.A. poor hygienic habits
B. laziness
C. lack of sleep
D. inability to form good study habits3. To deal with this problem, students say they want to ______.A. take a short course on anxiety
B. read about anxiety and know how to deal with it
C. be able to manage or understand their anxiety
D. take tests to prove they are not anxious4. What can be inferred from the passage? A. all students could overcome the anxiety after taking a special test anxiety  program
B. most of the students felt relaxed after taking a University of California counseling course
C. students found it difficult to improve even if they had taken a special test anxiety course

     During my ninth-grade year, I suffered from anorexia nervosa: it was not enough to be thin. I had
to be the thinnest. Now, however, fully recovered, I can reflect (反思)back and realize that my wishes
were more complex(复杂)than fitting into size five pants. Many of my subconscious (意识)emotions
were related to my relationship with my father. As 1 was growing up,his work always came first.
Sometimes 1 would not see him for up to two weeks. Not only did he devote his whole self to his work,
but he expected me to do the same ("You cannot get anywhere unless You go to the best universities").
Though,consciously,I never felt pressure to please him,I began dieting after the first time he told me I
looked fat.
     At the time. All I knew was that I had to be skinny--skinnier than anyone else. Every month my
father went to Europe for a week or so and on the days he left,sorrow and emptiness consumed (折磨)
me:Daddy was leaving. Then,I tuned to focus on a mysterious weakness ---a helpless childlike emotion
that came from starving. I liked to know that I needed to be taken care of；maybe Daddy would take
care of me.
     Now two years later and thirty-eight pounds heavier, I have come to realize that I cannot change my
father"s inability to express his feelings. Instead,I must accept myself. I know that I am a valuable person
who struggle to achieve and accomplish. But I cannot struggle only for others. By starving,l attempted to
gain pride in myself by getting my father"s approval(赞许)or acknowledgement of my value as a person.
But the primary approval must come from me,and l feel safe now that I can live with that knowledge
safely locked in my mind?

1. What is the "anorexia nervosa" as mentioned in the first paragraph?

A. It describes a situation of feeling unsafe.
B. It is an inability to express one"s feelings.
C. It refers to people who are emotionally weak.
D. It is an illness that makes one want to stop eating.

2. Why did the writer suffer from anorexia nervosa?

A. She was told by her father to take care of herself.
B. She wanted to go to the best university.
C. She wanted her father"s attention.
D. She grew up in a poor family.

3. Which of the following statements is true about the writer?

A. She has problems controlling her tempers.
B. She is proud of herself for working hard to succeed.
C. She has had great confidence in herself since childhood.
D. She has changed her father"s way of expressing himself.

4. What"s the writer"s purpose of writing this passage?

A. T0blameherfather.
B. To report a case of child abuse(虐待).
C. To reflection a stage of growing up.
D. To teach people how to lose weight.
