• 2．A few years ago，I realized that I had a fear of heights.Sometimes I would feel uncomfortable if I looked down from somewhere high and the higher I got，the worse I felt.However，there were some things that made me nervous when I looked up at them—such as drop towers.
     About a month ago，my family and I went on a trip to Marineland—an amusement park with a sea animal theme.One of Marineland's attractions is a huge drop tower called the "Sky Screamer".My dad wanted to ride it，and he wanted to take me with him.He kept nagging me，and I finally gave in，because I wanted to face my fears.
     Going up was terrible.I got stomachaches from just looking at the tower.When we reached the tower，we lined up and got seated on the ride.When it reached a few feet off the ground，it stopped for a moment，before sending us straight to the top at great speed.I squeezed my eyes shut and I held the handlebar as tightly as I could.A few seconds later my heart was in my mouth and I was screaming my lungs out.At the top，I opened my eyes and looked forward，not down.
     I tried to prepare myself for the way down，but it didn't really help.There I was，with my eyes squeezed shut，holding the handlebar and again，screaming at the top of my voice.In fact，it was even worse than going up!But when I got to the bottom，I felt relieved.I thanked my dad for forcing me to go on the ride，and I was pleased I had faced my fears.

• 3．Do you get nervous thinking about a coming math test？If yes，you are far from alone.Math anxiety has become a common condition among students around the world.Students in countries with higher levels of math anxiety tend to achieve lower math grades，according to a study published by the National Academy of Sciences on Feb 15.
     Math anxiety-a negative emotional reaction to the core subject-causes fear，physical suffering and behavior problems among young pupils，according to a University of Cambridge study.Some people also experience physical symptoms such as sweaty palms or a racing heart.They may then try to avoid every situation involving numbers，meaning they are held back from pursuing careers related to this subject，such as technology or engineering，according to The Guardian.
     Relief comes from the fact that those with math anxiety aren't destined（注定的）to be bad at math. "If a child has math anxiety，don't assume that they're not good at math.They may have had a really bad experience with math and there are ways to improve math achievement， " Daniel Ansari，the senior author of the study told The London Free Press.

"It's about making sure you're interpreting your feelings correctly， "Sian Beilock，a cognitive（認(rèn)知的） scientist told the BBC. "Just because you have a fast heartbeat and sweaty palms，that does not necessarily mean you will fail. "
     Math doesn't come easy，no matter how clever you are.Leonardo da Vinci，the famous Italian artist，was a huge fan of mathematics.But his notebooks show that Da Vinci couldn't do fractions（分?jǐn)?shù)）.He could never grasp，for instance，that dividing a number by one-quarter is the same as multiplying by four，resulting in a higher number than the original.

  B．It is most commonly seen among teenagers.
  C．It can cause unpleasant symptoms both mentally and physically.

  C．Math anxiety does not reflect the ability to solve math problems.
  D．Bad experience with math can cause cognitive disadvantages.

  B．Learn to understand your feelings.
