Question

【题目】Attacking school fears

There are real fears and imagined ones. Most school dangers are imagined. 【1】 Many students have learned to fear teachers and classrooms, textbooks and tests. So first let’s determine what the fears are, and then attack them in a good problem-solving way.

Fear of failure

Most students have plenty of ability to meet school demands. Most assignments and courses are within reason, more likely to be boring than difficult. 【2】 Once you have had a few successes, you will begin to overcome this fear.

Fear of teachers

This is clearly an unreal fear. Look around at your fellow students. Some of them will be teachers. As you can see, there is nothing special about them. 【3】 You can get to know them better out of class. Visit them and chat with them.

Fear of talking in class

Anyone can make a mistake, but an hour later people will not even remember a mistake was made. 【4】 Also keep in mind that your performance in class is almost never the main part of your grade.

【5】

This fear can help you watch for real danger. The future can be dangerous. But to let it keep you from trying new things would be to give up life. Your own experience shows that most of the time things work out all right. The more things you try out, the more you will feel at home.

A. Fear of starting out

B. Fear of potential danger

C. Rarely is it lack of ability that makes people fail.

D. This is because they are much more concerned with themselves.

E. So don’t hand over power to teachers that they don’t really have.

F. However, school institutions have made most people think otherwise.

G. Often something else is the real problem, not what you first identified.
