阅读下面的短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。
Anne Whitmey, a sophomore (大二学生) 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 (辅导) 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．all students could overcome the anxiety after taking a special test anxiety program
B．almost 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

阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
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(使变暖和) 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（未受影响的）and her goal clearly pictured in her mind. She knew that somewhere behind that fog was land and this time she made it!
