共用题干Teaching Math,Teaching AnxietyIn a new study about the way kids learn math in elementary school,the psychologists at the University of Chicago Sian Beilock and Susan Levine found a surprising relationship between what female teachers think and what female students learn:If a female teacher is uncomfortable with her own math skills,then her female students are more likely to believe that boys are better than girls at math.If these girls keep getting math-anxious female teachers in later grades,it may create a snowball effect on their math achievement said Levine. In other words,girls may end up learning math anxiety from their teachers. The study suggests that if these girls grow up believing that boys are better at math than girls are,then these girls may not do as well as they would have if they were more confident.Just as students find certain subjects to be difficult,teachers can find certain subjects to be difficult to learn一and teach. The subject of math can be particularly difficult for everyone. Researchers use the word“anxiety”to describe such feelings:anxiety is uneasiness or worry.The new study found that when a teacher has anxiety about math,that feeling can influence how her female students feel about math. The study involved 65 girls,52 boys and 17 first-and second-grade teachers in elementary schools in the Midwest. The students took math achievement tests at the beginning and end of the school year,and the researchers compared the scores.The researchers also gave the students tests to tell whether the students believed that a math superstar had to be a boy. Then the researchers turned to the teachers:To find out which teachers were anxious about math,the researchers asked the teachers how they felt at times when they came across math,such as when reading a sales receipt. A teacher who got nervous looking at the numbers on a sales receipt,for example,was probably anxious about math.Boys,on average,were unaffected by a teacher's anxiety. On average,girls with math-anxious teachers scored lower on the end-of-the-year math tests than other girls in the study did. Plus,on the test showing whether someone thought a math superstar had to be a boy,20 girls showed feeling that boys would be better at math一and all of these girls had been taught by female teachers who had math anxiety.“This is an interesting study,but the results need to be interpreted as preliminary and in need of replication with a larger sample,”said David Geary,a psychologist at the University of Missouri in Columbia.The sixth paragraph tells us that the research findings______.A:prove a strong link between female teachers'math anxiety and their female students' math achievementsB: show that male students are less likely to be affected by their math anxiety than female studentsC: provide strong evidence that math superstars are more likely to be males than femalesD: discover a strong link between teachers'math anxiety and their students'math achievements

共用题干第三篇When Fear Takes Control of the MindA panic attack is a sudden feeling of terror. Usually it does not last long,but it may feel like forever. The cause can be something as normally uneventful as driving over a bridge or flying in an airplane.And it can happen even if the person has driven over many bridges or flown many times before.A fast heart beat. Sweaty hands.Difficulty in breathing. A light一headed feeling. At first a person may have no idea what is wrong. But these can all be signs of what is known as panic disorder. The first appearance usually is between the ages of 18 and 25.In some cases it develop3 after a tragedy,like the death of a loved one,or some other difficult situation.In the United States,the National Institute of Mental Health says more than two million people are af- fected in any one-year period.The American Psychological Association says panic disorder is twice more like- ly in women than men.And it can last anywhere from a few months to a lifetime.Panic attacks can be dangerous一for example,if a person is driving at the time.The Chesapeake Bay Bridge in the state of Maryland is so long and so high over the water,and it is famous for scaring motorists. There is even a driver assistance program to help people get across.Some people who suffer a panic attack develop a phobia,a deep fear of ever repeating the activity that brought on the attack.But experts say panic disorder can be treated. Doctors might suggest anti-anxiety or anti-depressant medicines.Talking to a counselor could help a person learn to deal with or avoid a panic attack.There are breathing methods,for example,that might help a person calm down.Panic disorder is included among what mental health professionals call anxiety disorders.A study published last week reported a link between anxiety disorders and several physical diseases.It says these include thyroid disease,lung and stomach prob- lems,arthritis,migraine headaches and allergic conditions.Researchers at the University of Manitoba in Canada say that in most cases the physical condition followed the anxiety disorder. However,they say,exactlyhow the two are connected remains unknown.The report in the Archives of Internal Medicine came from a German health study of more than 4 ,000 adalts.According to a study,all of the following diseases may be associated with anxiety disorder EXCEPT_________.A:cancer diseasesB:allergic conditionsC:thyroid problemsD:lung and stomach troubles
