In a restaurant， a bug（虫子） suddenly flew in and landed on the woman． She started shouting out of fear． Then she jumped around with both her hands shaking， trying to scare away the bug． Her reaction was very strong and everyone in her group got into fear．
The woman finally got the bug of her， but then it landed on another woman in the group． Now， it was her turn to continue the drama．
A waiter rushed to the table． The woman somehow managed to get the bug on the waiter． The waiter stood quietly and looked at the bug on his shirt． He carefully picked up the bug and threw it out of a window．
Drinking my coffee and watching the drama go on， I started wondering： Was the bug responsible for what they behaved just now/ If so， then why was the waiter not disturbed（v． 干扰）？
He solved the problem perfectly without any fear． It was not a bug， but the inability of those people to deal with the disturbance（n． 干扰） caused by the bug that disturbed them．
I realized that it was not the shouting of my father or my boss that disturbed me， but my inability to deal with the disturbances caused by their shouting that disturbed me． It was not the traffic jams（堵塞） on the road but my inability to deal with the disturbances caused by traffic jams that disturbed me．

任务型阅读 阅读下面的短文，根据短文内容完成表格中所缺信息，每空限填一词。
Lightning is one of the most beautiful natural phenomena (现象). It is also one of the most deadly phenomena. A bolt of lightning is six times hotter than the surface (表面) of the sun and gives out 30, 000 amps of electricity (电). It can travel at 100, 000 kilometers per hour and has the ability to hit a target up to 40 kilometers away. About 1,000 people around the world are killed by lightning every year.
Only about ten percent of people struck (击中) by lightning will actually die, but the others are actually very badly injured (受伤), with burns, broken bones, blindness, deafness, paralysis, or memory loss. However, when the electricity passes through their brains (大脑), it can occasionally have unusual and even positive effects (积极作用). Some blind (瞎的) people have got their sight back after being struck by lightning. One woman said a psychological test showed her intelligence (智力) had greatly improved (提高) and one man said he could no longer feel cold at all and could go out in temperature below zero in just a T-shirt!
So what should you do to stay safe in a thunderstorm? The most important rule is to stay inside, but do not go near phones, electrical appliances, plumbing or water. If you are struck outside, do not take shelter under a tree. Instead, roll (卷) yourself up into a ball on the ground as small as possible. And do not think it has to be raining in order for lightning to strike.
Strangely, lightning seems to prefer (偏爱) some people to others. If you are a man, you are more likely to be struck by lightning than a woman!

Very few people enjoy exams. I don’t, either. And although I tell myself not to worry about them, I always do! So I am not surprised that my students worry about them, too, even though they usually don’t need to. Because they are afraid of failing. However, since it is hard not to worry at all, we all must try not to worry too much. Why? Because worrying makes exams worse! How to do this?
Ask the teacher about how to revise and about exam skills---- how to work when you are in the exam.
Good students don’t wait until the week before an exam. They study all through the year. It is not possible to learn everything at the last minute. So don’t leave it till then!
If you start planning and working for each exam early and you make sure that you understand what you are studying , then, when it is over, you’ll be able to say, “What a good exam that was!”
Take a short rest during your time of work and revision(复习). If your mind is tired, it will not remember well. Work at the time when you know you will work at your best.
If you are studying in the evening, don’t go straight to bed afterwards. Your mind will still be “going round and round”----thinking that will relax you, and make you think of other things.
If you feel bad, talk to someone about your worries. But don’t be too relaxed! Some stress over exams makes you work hard for them.Why are the students afraid of exams according to the passage?
