But in reality, students are all afraid of exams. The author analyses why the most terrible time comes at the beginning and at the end.,Comprehension,Teenagers,Nightmare,1,Taking exams must be one of the most frightening experiences that anyone must,go through,. It is not so much the actual taking of the exams themselves which is so awful, although of course they,play a great part in,the general feeling of fear; no, the most awful time comes at the beginning and at the end.,Comprehension,2,The beginning is the time when you are meant to,revise,. Revision is a terrible time both if you,revise,and if you dont. Firstly, if you,revise, concentrating on a pile of A4 pages covered in your untidy handwriting, you suddenly wish not only that you had written everything down a bit more clearly, but also that you had started revision a lot earlier. However,once resigned to the fact,that you cant put the clock back, you prepare to,give yourself up to,full and thorough revision,putting aside,all else in life. Of course, such a hard decision is absolutely impossible to carry out, although you do try to fool yourself that you can,undertake,it easily. You let your attention wander away easily, finding you,have a sudden, irresistible urge to,tidy up your room, even though it has looked like a pigsty for the last three months.,Comprehension,3,When you,are tempted away from,your studying by such strange amusements, you are,moving onto the territory of,the second group concerning revision those who know they need and should,get down to,hard studying, but somehow have neither got the determination nor the willpower to force themselves to sit down for hours,on end digesting the delights of pure mathematics,. Now, this second group in which we have all found ourselves from time to time suffer the most severe,guilt complexes,over their lack of revision. Although they are aware that they should be studying they cannot somehow,bring themselves to the awful task,; temptation has won over what they know they should be doing, and in a way they suffer far more than those who eventually find the willpower and determination to sit down and,revise,.,Comprehension,4,The end of the exam procedure, which is in some cases worse than the revision period, is,awaiting,the results. While waiting you cant do much about your own school work. You feel that it is very hard to resist the temptation to light a fire with all your notebooks and files instead of logs, but at the same time you feel that you had better keep all your notes safe in case you discover you have failed and need to re-take all your subjects. The worst day of all is the one when you know that the postman is to deliver the letter (always in a brown envelope to make it look more official and frightening) which will inform you whether the academic world (and society in general) considers you a failure or a success, whether you can get the job you want, or go to the university you wish to attend. That envelope is to contain the key to your future and, perhaps most importantly of all, to inform you whether you need to suffer again the horrors of exams.,Comprehension,Words & Expressions,1.,Nightmare,n.,恶梦,Ihavenightmaresaboutfallingoffacliff.,Drivingduringtheblizzard,（暴风雪）,wasanightmare.,BACK,Comprehension,2.,go through,tosuffertoexperience,e.g.Thesecountrieshavegonethroughtoomanywars.,togothroughtwostages,go through thick and thin,BACK,Comprehension,3.,play a great part in,Playapartin-,与,.,有关,对,.,有影响,;(,在,.,中,),起作用,e.g.Thequestionofcostwillplayanimportantpartinourdecision.,BACK,Comprehension,4.,revise,1) Toreview,tostudylessonsagainusu.beforeanexam.,2) Toreconsiderandchangeormodify:,BACK,Comprehension,5.,once resigned to the fact,Beresignedtosth / doingsth-bereadytoendureor toleratesth,准,备忍受或容忍某事；甘心情愿,.,e.g.sheseemedresignedtonothavingholidaythisyear.,Shes,resigned,to,spending Christmas on her own.,Sam was,resigned,to,the fact that,he would never be promoted.,BACK,a resigned look, voice etc shows that you are making yourself accept something that you do not like,:,“,Well have to leave,” she said with,a,resigned,sigh,.,Comprehension,6.,give yourself up to,Giveoneselfuptosth.,：,Todevote(oneself)completely:,e.g.Mymotherisateacher.Shegivesherselfuptoteaching.,BACK,Comprehension,7.,putting aside,撇开；置之不理；把,放在一边,e.g.Themanagerhadtoputhisworkasideforatimeforanurgent,accident.,BACK,S1,Comprehension,8.,undertake,totakeuporaccept Undertakeatask/responsibilityfor,9. have a sudden, irresistible urge to,Haveanurgetodo: haveastrongdesire or animpulse to do,Ihadanurgetotellhimthetruth.ButIheldback.,He could no longer,resist,the,urge,to go and see Amanda.,Suddenly she had,an,overwhelming,urge,to be with her son.,BACK,S2,Comprehension,10.,are tempted away from,Tempt,sb,awayfrom:toattract,sb,.todosomethingmorepleasant butunwise,e.g.arivalcompanyhastriedtotempthimawayfromhispresentjobwithmoremoney.,BACK,Comprehension,11.,move onto the territory of,moveintothesituationof,12. get down to,giveseriousattentionto,认真对待,认真考虑,get down to sth.,Its time we got down,to work,.,We need to get down,to some serious talking,.,get down to doing something,I always find it hard to get down,to revising,.,e.g.Ireallymustgetdowntopreparingformyfinals.,BACK,Comprehension,13. on end,withoutstopping;continuouslyAftertheexam,heplayedcomputergamesforhoursonend.,14. digesting the delights of pure mathematics,Thenarratorisbeingironicinsayingthis.Theabstractmathematicsisprobablyenjoyableonlyformathematicsgeniusesratherthan ordinaryteenagers.,BACK,S1,Comprehension,15.,guilt complexes:,guiltcomplexes:Acomplexisapsychologicaloremotionalproblem.

Now, this second group in which we have all found ourselves from time to time suffer the most severe guilt,complexes,over their lack of revision.,A complex is a psychological or emotional problem.,e.g. inferiority , superiority ,Those who fail to work hard for examinations would keep,feeling guilty of lacking willpower for revision.,现在,我们时常会置身其中的这第二类人，会因为没能充分地复习而遭受负罪感的巨大磨难。,Comprehension,青少年的烦恼,1,考试肯定是每个人经历过的最恐怖的事情之一。尽管考试是造成恐怖的重要因素，但它本身并不那么可怕；而考试前和考试后的时间才是最恐怖的。,2,考试前指的是你得复习的时候。不管你复习不复习，它都让人难受。首先，如果复习的话，你得集中精力去看一堆写满潦草字迹的,A4,纸，你会突然希望自己当初真该把笔记记得清晰一点，还希望自己该早一点开始复习。但是，一旦接受了时间不可倒转的事实，你就得全身心投入到复习中去，把生活中的其它一切都抛到一边。尽管你可以自欺欺人地觉得这样做并不难，但事实上这么困难的复习计划是根本实施不了的。你很容易走神，会猛然间有一种不可抵挡的欲望要去整理房间，尽管三个月来这房间就一直乱得像个猪圈。,BACK,Comprehension,3,当你被这奇异的消遣搅和得无法学习时，你就正在步入第二类复习人员的圈子,它是指那些知道自己需要也应该认真刻苦地学习，但既无决心又无毅力迫使自己坐下来几小时不间断地去品尝纯数学的乐趣的那些人。我们置身其中的这第二类人时常会因没能充分地复习而遭受负罪感的磨难。尽管他们很清楚自己应该学习却又不知怎么就是无法投身于这苦差事之中；诱惑战胜了使命，在某种程度上，他们遭受的苦难远比那些有毅力和决心坐下来复习的人多。,BACK,Comprehension,4,比考前复习阶段更可怕的就是考试之后等待结果的日子。在等待的过程中，你干不成什么学习的事情。你发觉自己时时恨不得将所有的笔记本和文档纸付之一炬，但转而又觉得最好还是把它们保存下来以免考试不及格需要补考时还得用。最可怕的是你知道邮差给你送成绩报告单的那天（棕色的信封通常使它更官方，更恐惧），它会告诉你学术界（还有整个社会）是判你成功还是失败，告诉你能否找到理想的工作，或进入理想的大学。信封里装着通往你未来的钥匙，也许最重要的是，它告诉你是否还得再一次遭受考试的恐惧。（吕睿中译，胡一宁审校）,BACK,reading,Story Reproduction,taking exam, the most awful experience,revision or no revision, a hard decision to make,suffering more if no revision,suffering not finished even though exam finished,painful experience of waiting for the results,After-reading,You may refer to the cues listed on page 141.,1.

During dreams, the preconscious is more lax in this duty than in waking hours, but is still attentive: as such, the unconscious must distort and warp the meaning of its information to make it through the censorship. As such, images in dreams are often not what they appear to be, according to Freud, and need deeperinterpretationif they are to inform on the structures of the unconscious.,Interpretation of Dreams,Project,A Questionnaire on “Exam Anxiety”,Step 1,Work in groups and brainstorm about the items you are going to
