9.I am a professor of sports and exercise so I often deal with nervousness in my research with sports people.Actually,most people experience nervousness at some time or another.
If you are feeling anxious,my advice is to first find the cause or causes.Make a list of those things that are making you nervous and work out which ones you can do something about.Focus all of your efforts on managing the causes that you can control.
Most people cannot tell the difference between controllable(可控制的) and uncontrollable causes,so things they can's control become a big reason for nervousness.Dealing with this is very important if people want to keep a healthy mind.
Simply try to accept the uncontrollable causes of nervousness.You might be worried about the weather on a big day,an accident or an attack on the train,or perhaps just things that other people are doing at work.The results may be very important but there is still no use worrying because you can't control any of these things.Accept that you can't control everything.Once you understand this,it becomes easier not to worry.
If a situation,such as swimming,is causing you to be anxious,try to face it as often as possible so that you can get used to it.
It can often help to think about yourself doing the thing that makes you nervous-then close your eyes and imagine it going well.Imagine how the flight or job interview is going to happen so that you can get used to it.This will help you understand that the thing you fear most is probably not going to happen.

8.I was waiting for a phone call from my agent.He had left a message the night before,telling me that my show was to be cancelled.I called him several times,but each time his secretary told me that he was in a meeting and that he would call me later.So I waited and waited,but there was still no call.Three hours passing by,I became more and more impatient.I was certain that my agent didn't care about my work,and he didn't care about me.I was overcome with that thought.I started to shout at the phone,
"Let me wait,will you?Who do you think you are?"
At that time I didn't realize my wife was looking on.Without showing her surprise,she rushed in,seized the phone,tore off the wires,and shouted at the phone,"Yeah,who do you think you are?Bad telephone!Bad telephone!"And she swept it into the wastebasket.
I stood watching her,speechless.What on earth….?
She stepped to the doorway and shouted at the rest of the house,"Now hear this!All objects in this room---if you do anything to upset my husband,out you go."
Then she turned to me.Kissed me and said calmly,"Honey,you just have to learn how to take control."With that,she left the room.
After watching crazy woman rushing in and out,shouting at everything in sight,I noticed that something in my mood(情绪) had changed.I was laughing.How could I have trouble with that phone?Her antics helped me realize I had been driven crazy by small things.Twenty minutes later my agent did call.I was able to listen to him and talk to him calmly.

3.Ernest Hemingway was not only a commanding figure in 20th-century literature,but was also a pack rat.He saved even his old passports and used bullfight tickets,leaving behind one of the longest paper trails of any author.
"Ernest Hemingway:Between Two Wars,"which opens on Friday at the Morgan Library & Museum,is the first major museum exhibition devoted to Hemingway and his work.The largest and most interesting section focuses on the'20s,Hemingway's Paris years,and reveals a writer we might have been in danger of forgetting:Hemingway before he became Hemingway.
The exhibition does not fail to include pictures of the bearded,manly,Hem.He's shown posing with some kudu he has just shot in Africa and on the bridge of his beloved fishing boat,the Pilar,with Carlos Gutiérrez,the fisherman who became the model for"The Old Man and the Sea."But the first photo the viewer sees is a big blowup of a handsome,clean-shaven,19-year-old standing on crutches.This is from the summer of 1918,when Hemingway was recovering from wounds at the Red Cross hospital in Milan and trying to turn his wartime experiences into fiction.
The evidence at this exhibition suggests that,in the early days,he often wrote in pencil,mostly in cheap notebooks but sometimes on whatever paper came to hand.The first draft of the short story"Soldier's Home"was written on sheets he appeared to have snatched from a telegraph office.The impression you get is of a young writer seized by inspiration and sometimes barreling ahead without an entirely clear sense of where he is going.
F.Scott Fitzgerald (some of whose letters with Hemingway is also on view) famously urged him to cut the first two chapters of"The Sun Also Rises,"complaining about the"elephantine facetiousness"of the beginning,and Hemingway obliged,getting rid of a clunky opening that now seems almost"meta".In 1929,in a nine-page penciled critique,Fitzgerald also suggested numerous revisions for"A Farewell to Arms."Hemingway took some of these,but less graciously,and soon afterward his friendship with Fitzgerald came to an end.
The papers at the Morgan show a Hemingway who is not always sure of himself.There are running lists of stories he kept fiddling with,and there are lists and lists of possible titles,including the 45he considered for"Farewell"and 47different endings for the novel.
In display case after display case,you see Hemingway during his Paris years inventing and reinventing himself,discovering as he goes along just what kind of writer he wants to be.In a moving 1925letter to his parents,who refused to read"In Our Time,"his second story collection,he writes:"You see I'm trying in all my stories to get the feeling of the actual life across-not just to describe life-or criticize it-but to actually make it alive.So that when you have read something by me you actually experience the thing.You can't do this without putting in the bad and the ugly as well as what is beautiful."
By the time the Second World War broke out,Hemingway had solidified into the iconic figure we now remember:Papa.Even J.D.Salinger calls him this.And a blustery,cranky Hemingway appears in 1949when aboard the Pilar he grabs an old fishing diary and begins scrawling an angry letter to Harold Ross,the editor of The New Yorker,complaining about Alfred Kazin's review of"Across the River and Into the Trees,"not,in truth,a very good book.But,Hemingway,often drinking and depressed,didn't know it,his best work was behind him by then.
