Stage Fright

Imagine that you are an actor performing in a play for the first time. You have learned all your lines and you know where to walk on stage. Waiting behind the closed curtain, you can hear the audience whispering and taking their seats.

Then your big moment arrives! The curtain goes up, and the crowd falls silent. All you can see is the spotlight shining down on you. 1. The inside of your mouth is dry, and your hands are wet.

If you have experienced a moment like this, you know all too well what it means to have stage fright. It is one of the most common types of fear and tends to strike people when they find themselves at the center of attention. 2. People experience this fear when playing sports, giving a presentation, or even speaking in class. A person who suffers from stage fright may get sweaty hands, a dry mouth, a tight throat, or shaky knees. Stage fright is actually a form of panic, and these feelings are very real.

3.The experience differs from person to person, but the same chemical process occurs in each of us. In reaction to anxiety, our bodies produce a chemical that prepares us to either fight or run away quickly. Scientists refer to this as our bodies’ “fight or flight” reaction. As a result, we feel great energy that makes our hands sweat, our hearts race, and our knees shake.

4. Practicing your performance and following some simple tips can help calm nerves and manage the feelings caused by anxiety. First, dress comfortably and appropriately. Second, before the performance, take deep breaths and stretch to help relax your body. Third, stay away from drinks that contain caffeine. 5. Instead, try a banana! Some doctors believe that eating a banana can help calm your heart and the rest of your body. Finally, when you look into a crowd, try to focus on particular people instead of the whole group. These tips have helped many people learn to deal with their fears.

A. These might make your heart race even faster.

B. You don’t have to be onstage to get stage fright.

C. Stage fright is part of the body’s reaction to stress.

D. You try to speak your lines, but nothing seems to come out.

E. With practice, we can learn how to relax while playing sports.

F. The good news about stage fright is that here are ways to deal with it.

G. However, there is a time when stage fright prevents you from stepping onstage.

Skeptics are strange a lot. Some of them refuse to admit the serious threat of human activities to the environment and they are tired of people who disagree with them. Those people, say skeptics, spread nothing but bad news about the environment. The "eco-guilt" brought on by the discouraging news about our planet gives rise to the popularity of skeptics as people search for more comforting worldviews.

Perhaps that explains why a new book by Bjorn Lomborg received so much publicity. That book, The Skeptical Environmentalist, declares that it measures the "real state of the world" as fine. Of course, another explanation is the deep pockets of some big businesses with special interests. Indeed, Mr. Lomborg's views are similar to those of some industry-funded organizations, which start huge activities through the media to confuse the public about issues like global warming.

So it was strange to see Mr. Lomborg's book go largely unchallenged in the media though his beliefs were contrary to most scientific opinions. One national newspaper in Canada ran a number of articles and reviews full of words of praise, even with the conclusion that "After Lomborg, the environmental movement will begin to die down."

Such one-sided views should have immediately been challenged. But only a different review appeared in Nature, a respected science magazine with specific readership. The review remarked that Mr. Lomborg's "preference for unexamined materials is incredible".

A critical eye is valuable, and the media should present information in such a way that could allow people to make informed decisions. Unfortunately, that is often inaccessible as blocked by the desire to be shocking or to defend some special interest. People might become half-blind before a world partially exhibited by the media. That's a shame, because matters concerning the health of the planet are far too important to be treated lightly.

1.According to the passage, which of the following may be regarded as "skeptics"?

A. People who agree on the popularity of "eco-guilt".

B. People who dislike the harmful effect of human activities.

C. People who disbelieve the serious situation of our planet.

D. People who spread comforting news to protect our environment.

2.Which of the following can be a reason for the popularity of Lomborg's books?

A. The book challenges views about the fine state of the world.

B. Some big businesses intend to protect their own interests.

C. The author convinces people to speak comforting worldviews.

D. Industry–funded media present confusing information.

3.The author mentioned the review in Nature in order to_________.

A. find fault with Lomborg's book

B. voice a different opinion

C. challenge the authority of the media

D. point out the value of scientific views

4.What is the author's main purpose in writing the passage?

A. To show the importance of presenting overall information by the media.

B. To warn the public of the danger of half–blindness with reviews.

C. To blame the media's lack of responsibility in information.

D. To encourage the skeptics to have a critical eye.

For environmental reasons, Britain will ban all new petro-and diesel-powered vehicles from its roads beginning in 23 years, a government report says.

The plan, expected Wednesday, aims to start removing petrol and diesel engines in 2040. It follows a similar official statement in France and comes after the British government was ordered by the High Court to develop new plans to reduce NO2 in the air. Judges ruled that previous clean-air plans were not enough to meet European Union pollution limits in the coming years.

Britain’s government has said the poor air quality has an unnecessary and avoidable negative effect on citizens’ health, and costs up to $ 3.5 billion in annual lost productivity.

Part of the new plan involves an offer of $ 260 million to local governments to change rules where vehicle emissions(排放) are over EU standards. Ideas so far include changing road layouts, reprogramming traffic lights and charging a fee for the oldest and most polluting cars on the road.

The plan also includes $1.3 billion for government purchase of extreme-low-emission vehicles, nearly $ 130 million to improve infrastructure for electric vehicle charging stations and $ 378 million for remodeling existing vehicles.

Climate change is also a reason for the plan to get these vehicles off the road. “We can’t carry on with petrol and diesel cars,” Environment Secretary Michael Gove said. “It’s important we all prepare for a significant change which deals not just with the problems of health caused by emissions, but the broader problems caused in terms of accelerating climate change.”

Gove added that local communities are partly responsible for coming up with ways to limit emissions, including possible limitations on commuters(上下班往返者) and the addition of cleaner mass transportation options. Local leaders are called on to draw up “appropriate plans” to deal with climate challenges related to emission, he said.

1.Why does the British government decide on this ban?

A. To focus on its citizens’ health.    B. To follow in France’s footsteps.

C. To promote solar energy in transport.    D. To respond to the court’s request.

2.Which measure may the British government take to achieve its plan?

A. Changing the way roads are arranged.    B. Removing old and high-emission vehicles.

C. Spending some money on electric vehicles.    D. Limiting the number of traffic lights.

3.What can be inferred from Gove’s words?

A. Convenient public transportation is badly needed.

B. United efforts are required to achieve the plan.

C. Vehicle emissions are the key factor in climate change.

D. Petrol and diesel cars may hold back economic progress.

4.What is the suitable title for this passage?

A. Practical ways to reduce vehicle emissions

B. Britain plans to take petrol and diesel engines off roads

C. The EU forces Britain to improve the poor air quality

D. Relationship between vehicle emissions and climate change

    On November 7, Lewis Pugh completed a one-kilometer swim in the freezing waters of King Edward Cove, off South Georgia in Antarctica. He was wearing only his swimming glasses, cap and speedos!

Pugh is an advocate for our oceans and seas, working to protect these ecosystem with their large diversity of marine life. When asked why he doesn’t wear a wetsuit, Lewis says, “I ask world leaders to do everything they can to protect our oceans. Sometimes the steps they need to take are difficult and unpopular. If I’m asking them to be courageous, I must also be. Swimming in a wetsuit would not send the right message.”

It took Pugh about 19 minutes to complete the one-kilometer swim in Antarctica where the water averaged about 1.6 degrees Celsius . He says that his body can only tolerate about 20 minutes in the freezing waters before it starts shutting down. As he swims, his body temperature steadily drops, which in turn causes his muscle control to drop, slowing him down. When he is done with his swim, his support team rushes him to a hot shower and it takes almost an hour for his body temperature to return to normal.

Doctors and Pugh caution that one must receive months of training to swim in such cold waters. Even expert swimmers who are unused to freezing water can drown within minutes because of the physical shock experienced by the body. Pugh says he trained for six months before this swim.

This is not the first time that Lewis has swum in dangerous conditions. In 2007, he swam one kilometer in the North Pole to draw attention to the melting Arctic ice due to climate change. In 2015, he swam in the Bay of Whales in Antarctica’s Ross Sea as part of his successful campaign to help set up a marine reserve there.

1.Why did Lewis Pugh swim without a wetsuit?

A. To swim faster. B. To show his bravery.

C. To build up his body. D. To win public attention.

2.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A. His body. B. The water.

C. His body temperature. D. The water temperature.

3.What’s Pugh’s advice about swimming in freezing waters?

A. One must be fully prepared.

B. One should be expert at swimming.

C. One should be ready to take on challenges.

D. One must be used to long-distance swimming.

4.What may be the best title for the text?

A. Lewis Pugh: swimming for a cause

B. How to survive a swim in cold waters

C. How to prepare for extreme swimming

D. Lewis Pugh: achieving the impossible
