It's common for kids of all ages to experience school anxiety - school-related stress.This is often most apparent at the end of summer when school is about to start again, but it can occur year-round.Where does the stress and anxiety come from?
Teachers
A good experience with a caring teacher can cause a lasting impression on a child's life—so can a bad experience.While most teachers do their best to provide students with a positive educational experience, some students are better suited for certain teaching styles and classroom types than others.If there's a mismatch (不协调) between student and teacher, a child can form lasting negative feelings about school or his own abilities.
Friends
Friends can also be a source of stress.Concerns about not having enough friends, not being in the same class as friends, not being able to keep up with friends in one particular area or another, and interpersonal conflicts are a few of the very common ways kids can be stressed by their social lives at school.Dealing with these issues alone can cause anxiety in even the most confident kids.
Bullies (欺凌弱小者)
Things have changed in the world of bullies since I was a kid.The good news is that
teachers and parents are paying more attention.Many schools now have anti-bullying pro-
grams and policies.Though bullying does still happen, help is generally more easily accessible
than before.
The bad news is that bullying has gone high-tech.Many students use the Internet, cell phones and other media devices to bully other students, and this type of bullying often gets very aggressive.One reason is that bullies can be anonymous (匿名的) and enlist other bullies to make their targets miserable.Another reason is that they don't have to face their targets. So it's easier to get rid of any empathy that they may otherwise feel.There are ways to fight against "cyber-bullying", but many parents aren't aware of them - and many bullied kids feel too overwhelmed to deal with the situation.
Face-to-face communication involves much more than the spoken word.In fact, we often communicate our feelings to others through our body language without realizing we are doing so.We communicate through posture, gesture and facial expression.But the eyes also play an important part in this unspoken language.William Shakespeare called the eyes "a window to the soul," and you can learn to look through that window and better understand a person's body language by reading eye movement.
Begin a conversation and ask a simple question.Watch carefully for eye movement during the response.If the person looks up, he or she is thinking or forming pictures.This is also a sign of a visual thinker.Looking up and to the left shows recalling a memory, while looking up and to the right could show imaginative construction or lying.
If the person looks down, this could be a sign of obedience or even blame.Looking down and to the left can show a person talking to themselves.Looking down and to the right can show that they are feeling strong emotion.
Looking sideways can indicate distraction or checking out a potential threat, hut a sideways glance can also show anger.In addition, eyes that look side to side often show shiftiness and lying.
A glance usually indicates a desire for something.Glancing at a door could show a desire to leave the room, while a glance, at a person could indicate a desire to talk to them.A glance is also used when it is forbidden to look at something.
A person who is lying to you may hold eye contact longer than normal.In addition, this person might smile with his mouth but not with his eyes.Smiling with the eyes is difficult to do if the emotion is not genuine.
Rapid blinking(眨)of the eyes can occur when a person is thinking, and this can also be another sign of lying.Again, a person who is aware of this sign might overcompensate and stare.

It's not every week that England's greatest playwright William Shakespeare hits the headlines, but the Bard of Avon (艾芬河的吟游诗人) has been the subject of two news stories in recent days as new information has come to light about the writer and his working environment.
In the first development, a portrait of Shakespeare, which is believed to be the only picture painted of him during his lifetime, was unveiled in London.
The artwork has been dated back to 1610, meaning it was painted six years before the writer's death.
The painting had been owned by a family descended from Shakespeare's literary patron (文学赞助人) tor hundreds of years without them ever knowing who the man in the picture was.
Alec Cobbe, who inherited the portrait, realized that the painting was a likeness of Shakespeare after visiting an exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery where he saw a portrait that had, until 70 years ago, been accepted as a life portrait of Shakespeare.
Mr Cobhe immediately realized he was looking at a copy of the painting that had been in his family for centuries.
The painting will now go on display in Shakespeare's hometown Stratford-upon-Avon.
In a separate story, archaeologists in London believe they have unearthed the remains of Shakespeare's first theatre.
The site was excavated(发掘) by a team from the Museum of London last summer, and is believed to have been built in 1576.
Experts think that Shakespeare himself acted at the theatre, which may have been where the play Romeo and Juliet was premiered (首次公演).
It is believed that 25 years after construction, the building was pulled down and moved timber by timber to the South Bank of the Thames, where a reconstruction of the theatre now stands.
1..What is the story mainly about?
A.The remains of the first theatre. B.Shakespeare's portrait.
C.Early life of Shakespeare. D.Great works of Shakespeare.
2..What does the underlined word "unveiled" mean in the passage?
A.made public B.found out C.on sale D.sold out
3..Before visiting the exhibition, Alec Cobbe ___ _.
A.knew his painting was a copy of the portrait of Shakespeare
B.thought his painting was a little like Shakespeare
C.realized his painting was very valuable
D.was unknown who the man in the painting was
4..Which of the following is true?
A.The site was the first theater Shakespeare built.
B.Romeo and Juliet was first put on in 1576.
C.The theatre was pulled down to make place for a new one.
D.The theatre rebuilt stands on the South Bank of the Thames.
