I am a professor of sports and exercise so I often deal with nervousness in my research with sports people. Actually, most people experience nervousness at some time or another.
If you are feeling anxious, my advice is to first find the cause or causes. Make a list of those things that are making you nervous and work out which ones you can do something about. Focus all of your efforts on managing the causes that you can control.
Most people cannot tell the difference between controllable(可控制的) and uncontrollable causes, so things they can’t control become a big reason for nervousness. Dealing with this is very important if people want to keep a healthy mind.
Simply try to accept the uncontrollable causes of nervousness. You might be worried about the weather on a big day, an accident or an attack on the train, or perhaps just things that other people are doing at work. The results may be very important but there is still no use worrying because you can’t control any of these things. Accept that you can’t control everything. Once you understand this, it becomes easier not to worry.
If a situation, such as swimming, is causing you to be anxious, try to face it as often as possible so that you can get used to it.
It can often help to think about yourself doing the thing that makes you nervous—then close your eyes and imagine it going well. Imagine how the flight or job interview is going to happen so that you can get used to it. This will help you understand that the thing you fear most is probably not going to happen.

We may know that there are four basic periods for human beings to pass through when you enter and live in another country. This process(變化過(guò)程) helps you deal with culture shock(文化沖擊).
Culture shock begins with the "honeymoon period". This is the time when you first arrive in a place where everything about the new cu1ture is strange and exciting. You see new things, hear new sounds and language, eat new kinds of food. This period can last for quite a long time because you feel very happy.
Unluckily, the second period can be more difficu1t.  After you have got used to your new life, you can become very tired and begin to miss your motherland, your family, your friends, your pets and so on. Al1 the little prob1ems in life seem to be much bigger and more worrying when you face them in a foreign country. This period can be very difficult and lead to moving backwards quickly.
The third period is called the "adjustment(調(diào)整) period". This is When you begin to realize that things are not so bad in the new country. Your sense of humor usually becomes stronger and you realize you are becoming stronger by 1earning to take care of yourself in the new place. Things are still difficult, but you are now a survivor(善于求生者).
The fourth period can be cal1ed "at ease at last". Now you feel quite comfortable in your new place. You can deal with most problems that you have. You may still have prob1ems with language,but you know you are strong enough to deal with them. At this time, you may feel a little uncomfortable if you go back to your motherland.

Almost all the students go to traditional schools now. But there will probably be a new type of education in the future—open education.
There are some very good things about open education. This way of teaching allows the students to develop their interests in many subjects. Open education asks students to be strict with their own education. The open classroom may help them to enjoy learning. Some students will be happier in an open education school. They will not have to worry about grades or rules.

If they eat up their food, students can collect coupons (優(yōu)惠券) and exchange them for small gifts, such as books, magazines, mobile phone covers and hand warmers.

“It’s been such a surprise,” said Liang Zhaoyun, a student at a university in Shanghai, “It has given us one more motivation to finish our food.”
The action is part of a national “eat-up” campaign (行動(dòng)) which is organized by students to deal with food waste on campuses (校園).
Why only on campuses? You might ask. Because according to a report by Xinhua News Agency, students waste twice as much food as the national average (平均).

“The aim of the campaign is not only to encourage students to finish their food. We hope it can also encourage students to choose a more environment —friendly and healthy lifestyle,” said Tao Siliang, Secretary of the Youth League Committee at Shanghai University.
Some school food doesn’t taste delicious, so students do not like to finish it all. Some schools have taken notice of this and they are taking actions to improve it.
“I’m glad that we’ve reduced food waste since the “eat-up” campaign began. But if we call on students to waste less food, we should also improve the service and food quality on campuses.” said Tao.
