河北省衡水二中2010年新高一暑假作业及答案（英语）(17)

　　No doubt you're wondering how fast you should grow. It depends. There's no perfect or right answer. Generally speaking, kids grow about 2 inches (6 centimeters) a year between age 3 and the time when they start puberty.

　　Your doctor will know how your growth has been going over the years. Two centimeters here and 2 inches there are not nearly as important as the height you're at now, how you've been growing up to this point, and what other changes your body may be going through.

　　Don't be scared if you seem to have grown a lot in a very short time. Everyone has a growth spurt（高峰）during puberty. The age for starting puberty is about 10 for girls and about 11 for boys. But it can be earlier or later ---between 7 and 13 for girls and 9 and 15 for boys.

　　You'll usually begin to notice that you're growing faster about a year or so after your body starts to show the first changes of puberty. (298)

Do you know someone who has never been troubled by tests? Yeah, some people are lucky like that. But for most of us, taking tests can cause a lot of icky (讨厌的) feelings and sensations, such as: trouble concentrating; low self-confident; being nervous or anxious; feeling depressed or down on yourself; stomach problems ---- like nausea(反胃), indigestion, diarrheas etc; racing heartbeat or trouble breathing; trouble sleeping; sweaty or cold hands.

Spend a moment thinking about a test you have to take. Does it bring on any of these feelings? If so, that might mean you're having some trouble dealing with the stress of the test.

Now that we know what stress feels like, let's talk about where test stress comes from. Here are a few of the biggest causes of test stress:

　　　? Pressure from yourself. It's important to do your best and study hard, but if you feel like you just can't stop pushing yourself to prepare or that you won't be happy with anything but a high grade, that pressure can't be hard to handle or deal with.

　　　? Pressure from parents and teachers. Most parents want to see great report cards, and they can start pushing when test time comes around. For teachers, many schools want to show high test grades from their students. So they have high expectations or wishes for the teachers, who then have high expectations for the students!

　　　? Competition with friends. You love your best friends, but she's always asking you how you did on the test you both just took. This is normal, but can add to some of the pressure you're already feeling.

　　　? Past experience. If you had a bad time with a test in the past, or if you've done poorly on one or more tests, you could feel anxious about the next one.

　　　? Negative thinking. If you're sure or convinced you're going to fail, or you keep beating yourself up with thoughts like "I'm not smart enough" or "I never do well," this can add a lot of stress.

　　　? Rumor. Sometimes, other students can spread rumors about a test. Rumors like "That teacher's tests are totally impossible to pass!" can make you a lot more nervous.
