I teach economics at UNLV three times per week. Last Monday, at the beginning of class, I cheerfully asked my students _36 their weekend had been. One young man said that his weekend had not been so good. He had his wisdom teeth removed. The young man then asked me why I always seemed to be so_37_.

I said，“Every morning when you get up, you have a (n)__38__ about how you want to __39_ life that day. I just choose to be cheerful every day.”

“Let me give you an example.” I continued. “_40_ teaching here at UNLV, I also teach out at the community college in Henderson, 17 miles _41_ the freeway from where I live. One day a few weeks ago when I __42_ the freeway and turned onto College Drive, my car __43__ and the engine wouldn't start again. So I put my flashers  on, __44__ my books, and marched down the road to__45__.”

“The secretary in the Provost's office asked me what had happened. ‘This is my __46__ day，’ I replied, smiling.”

“‘Your car broke down and today is your lucky day？’ She was __47__.‘What do you mean？’”

“‘I live 17 miles from here.’ I replied. ‘My car could have broken down anywhere along the freeway.

If my car was __51__ to break down today, it couldn't have been arranged in a more convenient __52__.’”

“The __53__ eyes opened wide, and then she smiled. I smiled back and headed for my __54__.”

閱讀理解

閱讀下面的短文，從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C、D)中，選出最佳選項。

　　Anne Whitmey, a sophomore (大二學生) at Colorado State University, first had a problem with 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 answers.”

　　The young student was experiencing something called test anxiety. Because a student worries and is uneasy about a test, his or her mind does not work as well as it usually does. The students can not write or think clearly because of the great nervousness. Although poor scores are often results of poor study habits, sometimes test anxiety causes low scores. Recently test anxiety has been recognized as a real problem, not just an excuse or a false explanation of lazy students.

　　Special university counseling (輔導) 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 nervousness. These courses teach students how to relax their bodies. By controlling their nervousness, they can let their minds work at ease and learn information which then comes out without difficulty in a test.

　　An expert at the University of California explains, “With almost all students, relaxation is felt after taking our program. Most of them have better control during their tests. Almost all have some improvements. 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 sure of an answer

C．to be unable to think clearly

D．to show knowledge to the teacher

2．Poor scores are usually the results of ________, but can also be caused by test anxiety.

[　　]

A．poor hygienic (保健) habits

B．laziness

C．lack of sleep

D．inability to form good study habits

3．To deal with the problem of anxiety, students can ________.

[　　]

A．take a short course on anxiety

B．read about anxiety

C．understand their anxiety

D．take tests to prove they are not anxious

4．A university of California counselor said ________.

[　　]

A．a(chǎn)ll students could overcome the anxiety after taking a special test anxiety program

B．a(chǎn)lmost all students felt less nervous after taking a university of California counseling course

C．students found it difficult to improve even though they had taken a special test anxiety course

D．students found it easy to relax as soon as they entered a university of California counseling course

讀寫任務(共1小題，滿分25分)

閱讀下面的短文，然后按照要求寫一篇150詞左右的英語短文。

Florence Chadwick was a great swimmer. However, not all of her efforts worked out. In addition to working hard, she had a secret for success. At the age of 34, her goal was to become the first woman to swim from Catalina Island to the California coast. However, in 1952, the sea was like an ice bath and the fog was so dense that she could hardly see her support boats. Her body was numb（麻木）and she had been swimming for nearly 16 hours. Against the frigid（寒冷）grip of the sea, she struggled on—hour after hour—while millions watched on national television.

Alongside Florence, in one of the boats, her mother and her trainer offered encouragement. They told her it wasn’t much farther. But all she could see was fog. They urged her not to quit. She never had… until then. With only a half mile to go, she asked to be pulled out. Still thawing(使變暖和) her chilled body several hours later, she told a reporter, “Look, I’m not excusing myself, but if I could have seen land I might have made it.” It was not tiredness or even the cold water that defeated her. It was the fog. She was unable to see her goal.

Two months later, she tried again. Despite the same dense fog, she swam with her faith intact（未受影響的）and her goal clearly pictured in her mind. She knew that somewhere behind that fog was land and this time she made it!
