One summer vacation in my college, my roommate Ted asked to me to work on his father’s farm in Argentina. The idea was exciting. Then I had second thoughts. I had never been far from New England, and I had been homesick my first few weeks at college. What about the language? The more I thought about it, the more the idea worried me.
Finally, I turned down the invitation. Then I realized I had turned down something I wanted to do because I was scared and felt depressed(沮喪). That experience taught me a valuable lesson and I developed a rule for myself: do what makes you anxious(焦慮); don’t do what makes you depressed.
In my senior year, I wanted to be a writer. But my professor wanted me to teach. I hesitated. The idea of writing was much scarier than spending a summer in Argentina. Back and forth I went, making my decision, unmaking it. Suddenly I realized that every time I gave up the idea of writing, that downhearted feeling went through me.
Giving up writing really depressed me. Then I learned another lesson. To avoid the depression meant having to bear much worry and concern.
When I first began writing articles, I often interviewed big names. Before each interview I would get butterflies in the stomach. One of them was the great composer Duke Ellington. On the stage and on television, he seemed very confident. Then I learned Ellington still got stage fright（害怕）. If Ellington still had anxiety attacks, how could I avoid them? I went on doing those frightening interviews. Little by little, I was even looking forward to the interviews. Where were those butterflies?
In truth, they were still there, but fewer of them. I had learned from a process psychologists（心理學(xué)家） call “extinction”. If you put an individual in an anxious situation often, finally there isn’t anything to be worried about, which brings me to a conclusion: you’ll never get rid of anxiety by avoiding the things that caused it.
The point is that the new, the different, is definitely scary. But each time you try something, you learn, and as the learning piles up, the world opens to you.
【小題1】We can infer from the passage that the author________. 

A．finds it difficult to make decision
B．has found out what causes anxiety
C．was encouraged by Duke Ellington’s stage fright
D．no longer feels anxious about new experiences
【小題2】What does the word “extinction” in Paragraph 6 means?
A．a(chǎn) person’s loss of confidence little by little
B．the natural development of a child’s abilities
C．the inborn ability to avoid anxious situations
D．the process of losing fear by keeping facing anxiety
【小題3】Which of the following opinions does the writer probably accept?
A．Anxiety can be a positive drive
B．Hesitation leads to depression.
C．Avoiding anxiety reduces depression.
D．Depression is a signal that one is growing up.
【小題4】What's the best title for the passage?
A．Confidence: Key to Success
B．Anxiety: Challenge by Another Name
C．Depression: A Psychological Appearance
D．Success: A Trip Through Anxiety and Depression

Do you feel lonely when your best friend isn’t around? Here’s our advice to you-- and to all kids who feel lonely sometimes.
It’ s hard when a best friend isn’t around—maybe because he or she moved to a different school or a different class. You may feel left out at break or lunchtime. You want to have new friends, but how do you make them? Maybe it seems like everybody else already has his or her friends. But remember, there’s always room for more friends.
Start by looking around your classroom—think about which kids you’d like to play with at break. Look for chances to say hi to them, smile, and be friendly. Offer to share something or express your appreciation (欣賞) to them. Invite someone to play with you or say “Do you want to sit here?” in the lunchroom. When you’re at break, walk over to kids you want to play with, act friendly, and say “Hi, can I play, too?” or just join in.
If you have trouble doing this or if you’re feeling shy, ask your teacher to help you make new friends. Teachers are usually pretty good at matching up friends. The best way to make friends is to be a friend. Be kind, be friendly, share, say nice things, offer to help—and pretty soon, you’ll have one, or two, or even more new friends.
You might still miss that special best friend. But when you see each other, you can share something you didn’t have before he or she left: You can introduce him or her to your new friends!
【小題1】Which of the following can explain the expression “feel left out”?

A．Feel homesick.B．Feel lonely.
C．Leave home alone.D．Be hungry.
【小題2】According to the writer, some kids feel lonely at break because they    .
A．have trouble with their studies
B．don’t have their best friends around
C．need their parents to be with them
D．a(chǎn)re too young to look after themselves
【小題3】The underline word “this” in Paragraph 4 means     .
A．sharing your ideas
B．talking in front of many people
C．studying better at school
D．developing new friendship
【小題4】Some kids need help from teachers to make friends because    .
A．they miss their old friends a lot
B．they have no time to stay with others
C．teachers know who wants a new friend
D．they are shy or not good at making friends

Every year, thousands of students choose to study in another country for a term, or a year. Studying overseas can be an exciting experience for many people.

Why do it

Living in another country can help you to learn another language, and

about another culture. You will see the world in a new way, and learn more

about yourself. Overseas study may also look good on your future resume

(求職簡(jiǎn)歷). Many companies today want employees who speak a second language, or have experiences living or working in another country.

Making the right choice

Once you decided to study overseas, you have to make some choices. To choose the right

country or school, ask yourself: Where do I want to go and why? How much do I want to pay? How

long do I want to study abroad? Do I want to live with roommates, alone or somewhere else?

Getting ready to go

Get your passport and visa early! Before you go, learn some of the language, and read about

some common customs in the country that you are going to. Learn about the money. Bring some of it and a credit card with you.

Once you are there

After the first few weeks overseas, many students will feel a little homesick. They may miss their family, friends, and familiar ways of doing things. Remember that it takes time to get used to a new place, school and culture. When you feel sad or homesick, try to talk to others, or write your feelings in a notebook.

1.Studying overseas can bring many people an exciting experience.

2.The experiences of living or working in another country can help you find a good job.

3.If you decide to study abroad, you should make the right choice first.

4.You have to get a passport and visa after you go abroad and learn English well.

5. Try to talk to your parents or return home when you feel sad or homesick.
