Stage fright or performance anxiety is the anxiety or fear which may occur in an individual by the require?ment to perform in front of an audience. It is most com?monly seen in school situations, like stand-up projects and class speeches. It has numerous forms ： heart beat?ing fast, trembling hands and legs, sweaty hands, dry mouth, etc.

In fact, most of the fear occurs before you step on stage. Once you're up there ， it usually goes away. Thus, it is a phenomenon that you must learn to con?trol. Try to think of stage fright in a positive way. It heightens your energy, adds colour to your cheeks. With these good effects you will actually look healthier and more physically attractive.

Many of the top performers in the world get stage fright so you are in good company. Stage fright may come and go or decrease, but it usually does not disap?pear permanently. You must concentrate on getting the feeling out and present what you have prepared calmly.

Remember nobody ever died from stage fright. But, according to surveys, many people would rather die than give a speech. If that applies to you, and you are an unlucky guy who is with stage fright the whole time, try out some of the strategies(策略)as follows to help get yourself under control. Realize that you may never overcome stage fright, but you can learn to con?trol it, and use it to your advantage.

Strategies are as follows when the programme be?gins:

Remember nervousness doesn't show one tenth as much as it feels. Before each presentation, make a short list of the items that you think will make you feel better.

One October morning, the sky was clear and the sun was shining. Bethany Hamilton decided to go 5 with some friends in Hawaii.

A child who has once been pleased with a tale likes, as a rule, to have it retold in almost the same words, but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairy stories as formal texts. It is always much better to tell a story than to read it out of a book, and? if a parent can produce what, in the actual situation of the time and the child, is an improvement on the printed text, so much the better.

A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening him or making him sad think?ing. To prove the latter, one would have to show in a controlled experiment that children who have read fairy-stories were more often sorry for cruelty than those who had not. As to fears, there are, I think, some cases of children being dangerously terrified by some fairy story. Often, however, this arises from the child having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of a fear into the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered.

There arc also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true, that gi?ants ,witches, two-headed dragons? magic carpets, etc. do not exist and that ， instead of being fond of the strange side in fairy tales, the child should be taught to learn the reality by studying history. I find such people, I must say so peculiar(奇异的)that I do not know how to argue with them. If their cases were sound* the world should be full of mad men attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a stick or covering a tele?phone with kisses in the belief that it was their beloved girlfriend.

No fairy story ever declared to be a description of the real world and no clever child has ever believed that it was.

A. repeated without any change

B. treated as a joke

C. set in the present

A. develops their power of memory

B. makes them less fearful

C. makes them believe there is nothing to be afraid of

D. encourages them not to have strange beliefs

A. fairy stories are still being made up

B. there is some misunderstanding about fairy tales

C. people try to modernize old fairy stories

D. there is more concern for children's fears nowa?days

8. One of the reasons why some people are not in fa-vour of fairy tales is that A. they are full of imagination

B. they make teachers of history difficult to teach

C. they are not interesting

D. they just make up the stories which are far from the truth
