A major source of teen stress is school exams, and test anxiety is not uncommon. When you recognize your teen is under stress, how can parents help your teen stay calm before an exam?
　　Be involved (介入，参与). Parents need to be involved in their teen’s work. 　【小题1】　What they look for is your patience—to talk, to cry, or simply to sit with them quietly. Communicate openly with your teen. Encourage your teen to express her worries and fears, but don’t let them focus on those fears.
　　Help them get organized. 　【小题2】　Together, you and your teen can work out a timetable in which she can study for what she knows will be on the test.
　　Provide a calm setting. Help your teen set up a quiet place to study and protect her privacy. Give them a nutritious diet. It is important for your teen to eat a healthy, balanced diet during exam times to focus and do her best. 　【小题3】　If this happens, encourage your teen to eat light meals or sandwiches.
　　　【小题4】　Persuade your teenager to get some sleep and/or do something active when she needs a real break from studying. Help your teen balance her time so that she will feel comfortable taking time out from studying to spend time with friends or rest.
　　Show a positive attitude. 　【小题5】　Your panic, anxiety and blame contribute to your teen’s pressure. Make your teen feel accepted and valued for her efforts. Most importantly, reassure your teen that things will be all right, no matter what the results are.

Mom stopped her work and raised her head with   46  in her eyes. She didn’t answer immediately. She bent her head and continued to sew the quilt. I was   47  if I had hurt her. I was in great embarrassment and I was at a loss what to do. But at last she said, very   48  , “Susan, look at this   49 . Sometimes it appears, but most of it disappears in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt strong and lasting. If   50  is a quilt, then love should be a thread. It can hardly be seen, but it’s really there.   51  is inside.”
I listened carefully but I couldn’t understand her until years later.
One day, Dad accidentally got　  52  while on duty. Ever since then he could no longer　  53　properly. Every morning and dusk Mom would help Dad walk slowly on the country road. Along the country road, there were beautiful flowers, green grass and trees. The leaves were gently glistening（发光）   54  the sun shining upon them. All of these made up the most beautiful   55  in the world.
“Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day. “Susan, don’t worry about me,” he said gently. “I just like walking with your mom. I like this kind of life.” Looking into his eyes, I  56　what they meant.

It's a small gas station that has snacks, drinks, cigarettes, and candies. The young man behind the counter knows his __36__　 by name and what they normally want to buy. He treats children and adults with equal　 __37__. He reads science fiction behind the counter when business is　 __38__.

One day, three people rushed in and grabbed food off the shelves as fast as they could,　 __39__　 not intending to pay for it. He hit the “panic button” , then went over the counter and　 __40__　 the front door. It was obvious that they were homeless, and equally obvious that they weren't going　 __41__　 with their ill?gotten gains. They　 __42__　 the food and simply crowded together in panic—knowing the police were　 __43__　 the way.

Imagine what they must have felt like when they were told they didn't have to steal if they were that　 __44__. “We have food in the back, expired (到期)but still　 __45__　 to eat. If you need food, you　 __46__　 have some.”

They were told to　 __47__　 what they had dropped and put it back, and then asked to straighten out the mess. They were doing just that　 __48__　 the police arrived. The officers were told the situation was under control and the police were no longer　 __49__.

This wasn't what they had　 __50__. They were being treated as human beings who could right the wrong they'd done. Shocked, they quickly followed orders to take turns and use the restroom to clean up.

Soon three　 __51__　 people walked out with all the　 __52__　 their arms could hold. They were　 __53__　 that，if they needed to come back again, they were to ask and not just grab.

And then the young man went back to read until the next customer came in. He would be the　 __54__ person in the world to claim he was a hero. But he gave three people something they were in desperate need of—a　 __55__amount of self?respect and a little bit of hope.
