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. Parents need to be involved in their teen’s work. 71 _ What they look for is your presence—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. 72 Together，you and your teen can work out a schedule in which she can study for what she knows will be on the test.
Provide a calm environment. Help your teen set up a quiet place to study and protect his privacy(隐私). 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. 73 If this happens，encourage your teen to eat light meals or sandwiches. A healthy diet，rather than junk food，is best for reducing stress.
74 Persuade your teenager to get some sleep and/or do something active when she needs a real break from studying. Making time for relaxation，fun， and exercise are all important in reducing stress. 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. 75 Your panic，anxiety and blame contribute to your teen’ s pressure. Make your teen feel accepted and valued for her efforts. Most importantly，reassure (安慰)your teen that things will be all right， no matter what the results are.
| A．A parent’s attitude will dictate their teen’s emotions. |
| B．Exam stress can make some teens lose their appetite（a desire for food）. |

| D．Encourage your teen to relax. |

Today，kids have more worries and face more pressures than ever before. Here are a few tips to help your child focus on and do well in school.
●Create a personal schedule
Recording everything that must be done on a calendar or “to do” list will help him to keep track of important dates and deadlines. If he keeps it in a visible place he will have no problem acknowledging upcoming events and will be better able to plan how and where to spend his time.
●Watch the clock
I also recommend setting his clock or watch five minutes ahead since it's always easy to run late. When it comes to something like catching a bus，just five minutes can make a significant difference.
●Focus
He should train himself to be able to concentrate alone on one specific task. This is much easier in a noisefree environment. No TV or radio should be on to distract him.
●
Lack of sleep is proven to harm us physically. The more sleep we get，the more alert we are. We thus have more energy to handle life's daily tasks. The average adult needs at least six hours of sleep a night and the average child needs at least eight.
●Stay in shape
Through spending time outdoors or playing sports with friends，he can “blow off some steam” so to speak，as well as reenergize.
●Talk through your problems
Be able to share his concerns with you. If you make it clear that you understand him and are willing to help，not only will you contribute to his emotional health but you'll help build an open and honest relationship as well.
| A．Sharing feelings often makes them easier to deal with. |
| B．Help your child work better to realize his aim. |
| C．Setting an alarm for the morning is a must. |
| D．Get enough sleep. |
E．Help your child do better in school.
F．Encourage your child to be positive.
G．Encourage him to get outside.

Competitors who wear red win more than those that are dressed in any other color, according to a study in Germany.
Experts believe that red could make individuals and teams feel more confident as well as being perceived by others as more aggressive.On the other hand, the results could suggest that the success of those teams has given those that wear the red color more confidence.
The study, by German sports psychologists at the University of Munster, was reported in New Scientist magazine. They showed video recordings of taekwondo(跆拳道) matches to 42 experienced referees(裁判). One fighter wore blue and the other wore red.
They then showed them the same recordings but digitally manipulated(操纵) the clothing to exchange the colors.
“If one competitor is strong and the other is weak, it won’t change the outcome of the fight,” said Norbert Hagemann, who led the study. “”
In 2004 scientists at Durham University also looked at how color influenced sporting competitiveness. They analyzed Olympic contest sports such as boxing, tawkwondo, and freestyle wrestling and found that nearly 55 percent of which were won by the competitor in red.
“” said Robert Burton, one of the researchers.
It is the color of fire and is often associated with energy, danger, strength, power, and determination.
The fighters wearing red were given an average of 13 percent more points than when they wore blue.
C. The study shows that football shirts from worldwide teams such as Arsenal, Liverpool, sell successfully.
D. It is reasonable that wearing red makes individuals feel more confident, although this hasn’t yet been tested.
E. Researchers found that those who wear red tops, jackets or clothing score 10 percent more in any competition than if they were in another color.
F. The findings could explain why Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal have been so successful.
G. But the closer the levels, the easier it is for the color to tip the scale

Relationships are an important part of your life. Relationships help you meet your social and emotional needs. They help you feel accepted and liked by others. The feelings you have about yourself and others depend on how well these needs are met.
One of the most important things in life is to be loved and accepted by others. This gives you a feeling of security. You feel secure when you know you can count on family and friends to love and to accept you the way you are. You add to your feeling of security by making others feel loved. Helping people you care about makes you feel giving and unselfish.
Think about how good you feel when someone compliments or thanks you. “What a good job” or “I appreciate your help” are comments that you like to hear about yourself. Such comments make you feel worthwhile. Naturally you feel happy when you receive a compliment. Likewise, you can compliment your family members or friends on their accomplishments.
Learn to express your thoughts clearly and listen to what others say. Talk things over with your family and friends. Share your hopes and dreams. Express your joys and frustrations. When family members and friends are talking, take time to listen to what they are saying. Give them clues that show you are listening, such as a nod of approval or a smile.
Another relationship skill that helps people get along with one another is trust. To earn trust you need to show parents, adults, and friends that you can handle new experiences and responsibilities. Being honest and truthful with people can also help you.
