1．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．（71）DThe 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．（72）BPeople 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．
（73）CThe 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．
（74）FPracticing 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．（75）A 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．

20．Everywhere I look outside my home I see people busy on their high-tech devices，while driving，walking，shopping，even sitting in toilets．When connected electronically，they are away from physical reality．
People have been influenced to become technology addicted．One survey reported that"addicted"was the word most commonly used by people to describe their relationship to iPad and similar devices．One study found that people had a harder time resisting the allure of social media than they did for sleep，cigarettes and alcohol．
The main goal of technology companies is to get people to spend more money and time on their products，not to actually improve our quality of life．They have successfully created a cultural disease．Consumers willingly give up their freedom，money and time to catch up on the latest information，to keep pace with their peers or to appear modern．
I see people trapped in a pathological（病态的）relationship with time-sucking technology，where they serve technology more than technology serves them．I call this technology servitude．I am referring to a loss of personal freedom and independence because of uncontrolled consumption of many kinds of devices that eat up time and money．
What is a healthy use of technology devices？That is the vital question．Who is really in charge of my life？That is what people need to ask themselves if we are to have any chance of breaking up false beliefs about their use of technology．When we can live happily without using so much technology for a day or a week，then we can regain control and personal freedom，become the master of technology and discover what there is to enjoy in life free of technology．Mae West is famous for proclaiming the wisdom that"too much of a good thing is wonderful．"But it's time to discover that it does not work for technology．
Richard Fernandez，an executive coach at Google acknowledged that"we can be swept away by our technologies．"To break the grand digital connection people must consider how life long ago could be fantastic without today's overused technology．
