　　Anna Whitney, a sophomore (大学二年级学生) at Colorado State University, first had a problem taking tests when she began college. “I was always　　1　　prepared for my tests. Sometimes I studied for weeks before test. Yet I would go in to take the test, only to find I would not answer the questions　　2　 . I would blank out because of nervousness and fear. I couldn't think of the answers. My　　3　　grades on the tests did not show what I knew to the teacher.”Another student in microbiology had　　4　　experiences. He said,“My first chemistry test was very difficult. Then, on the second test, I sat down to take it, and I was so nervous that I was　　5　 . My hands were moving up and down so　　6　　that it was hard to hold my pencil. I knew the material and I knew the answers. Yet I couldn't　　7　　write them down!”

　　These two young students were　　8　　something called test anxiety (考试焦虑)。Because a student worries and is anxious about a test, his or her　　9　　does not work as well as it usually does. The student cannot write or think　　10　　because of the extreme tension and nervousness. Although poor grades are often a　　11　　of poor study habits, sometimes test anxiety causes the low grades. Recently, test anxiety has been as a real problem, not just an　　12　　or a false explanation of lazy students.

　　Special university counseling(指导) courses try to help students. In these courses, counselors try to help students by teaching them　　13　　to manage test anxiety. At some universities, students take tests to　　14　　their tension. These courses teach students how to relax their bodies. Students are trained to become　　15　　in very tense situations. By controlling their nervousness, they can let their minds　　16　　at ease (安心).　　17　　information then comes out without difficulty on a test.

　　An　　18　　at the University of California explains,“With almost all students, relaxation and　　19　　stress are felt after taking our program. Most of them experience better control　　20　　their tests. Almost all have some improvement.”

　　Before 1945, hardly anyone outside of New Mexico had ever heard of Alamogordo. In 1960 its population numbered 21, 723. Ever since 1898, when the town had been built by the Southern Pacific Railroad, Alamogordo had been a lonely town. The land around it was largely desert, and largely empty.

　　Because it was isolated (被隔离的) and because the weather was almost always clear and peaceful, a spot of desert near Alamogordo was chosen as the test site for the first atomic bomb ever exploded. The secret name of the test was Zero.

　　At dawn on July 16, 1945, the atomic bomb was set off. Observers agreed that they had witnessed (见证) something unlike anything ever seen by man before: a huge, colorful fireball, more brilliant than the sun, flashing as it rose for miles in to the air. Never before had man released (释放) so much power at one time, nor had any nation ever possessed a weapon as terrible and destructive as the atomic bomb.

　　For several weeks, the test was kept secret. When an atomic bomb was dropped from an American plane on Hiroshima, Japan, newspapers and radio stations all over America told of the test of the bomb in New Mexico. Almost everybody was surprised to learn where the bomb had been made and tested; the deserts of the Southwest had hidden the secret well.

　　When news of the atomic bomb and its destructiveness was announced, people all over the world wondered what other new weapons were being prepared in the New Mexico desert. Some people doubted that the secret of making atomic bombs could be kept from other countries. Some even doubted the wisdom of using so powerful a weapon. But no one doubted that a new kind of war had begun at Alamogordo, one summer morning in 1945.

Shopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man as it is for a woman. A man goes shopping because he needs something. His purpose is settled and decided in advance. He knows what he wants, and his objective is to find it and buy it; the price is a secondary consideration. All men simply walk into a shop and ask the assistant for what they want. If the shop has it in stock, the salesman promptly produces it, and the business of trying it on goes forward at once. All being well, the deal can be and often is completed in less than five minutes, with hardly any chat and to everyone's satisfaction. For a man, slight problems may begin when the shop does not have what he wants, or does not have exactly what he wants. In that case the salesman, as the name implies, tries to sell the customer something else, he offers the nearest he can to the article required. No good salesman brings out such a substitute without least consideration; he does so with skill and polish（完美）: “I know this jacket is not the style you want, sir, but would you like to try it for size. It happens to be the color you mentioned." Few men have patience with this treatment, and the usual response is: “This is the right color and may be the right size but I should be wasting my time and yours by trying it on.
Now how does a woman go about buying clothes? In almost every respect she does so in the opposite way. Her shopping is not often based on need. She has never fully made up her mind what she wants, and she is only “having a look round". She is always open to persuasion: indeed she sets great store by what the saleswoman tells her, even by what companions tell her. She will try on any number of things. Uppermost in her mind is the thought of finding something that everyone thinks suits her. Contrary to a lot of jokes, most women have an excellent sense of value when they buy clothes. They are always on the lookout for the unexpected bargain. Faced with a roomful of dresses, a woman may easily spend an hour going from one rail to another, to and fro often retracing her steps, before selecting the dresses she wants to try on. It is a tiresome process, but apparently an enjoyable one. Most dress shops provide chairs for the waiting husbands.
