When I was 15，I announced to my English class that I was going to write my own books．All the students nearly fell out of their chairs，laughing at me．"Don't be ．Only geniuses （天才） can become writers，" the English teacher said sarcastically（諷刺地）．"And you are getting a D this term．” I was hurt deeply and I cried sadly．

That night I wrote a short，sad poem about dreams and mailed it to the Capper's Weekly newspaper．To my surprise，they published it，and sent me two dollars．I was a（an） writer! I showed my teacher and my classmates．They laughed again．"Just plain dumb luck（純屬僥幸），" the teacher said．However，I'd tasted ．I'd sold the first thing I'd ever written．

By the time I graduated from high school （with a C-minus average），I had scrapbooks filled with my published I never talked about my writing to my teachers，friends or my family again．They were dream killers，and if people must choose between their friends and their dreams，they must always choose their dreams．

Later，I wrote a book about what I understood and about life．It took me nine months，just like a（an） ．I chose a publisher and wrote a letter，which read："I wrote this book myself．I hope you like it．Chapters（章節(jié)） 6 and 12 are my ．Thank you．" I mailed it without an envelope．

A month later，I received a letter，and a request to start working on book．Crying Wind became a bestseller，and was translated into 15 languages．People ask what college I attended，what degrees I have，and what qualities 1 have to be a writer．The answer is ．I just write．I'm not a genius，and I'm not gifted．I just write．To all those who dream of ，I'm shouting at you，"Yes，you ! Don't listen to them!" Writing is easy．It's fun，and anyone can do it．

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 s 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 make s 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．

1.The writer thinks there is no use worrying about some causes of nervousness because_____．

A．most are not very important

B．they are not the real causes of the problem

C．they cannot be controlled by people

D．it’s better to deal with one cause at a time

2.If swimming makes you nervous, what should you do according to the writer?

A．Go swimming often to get used to it．

B．Avoid going to the swimming pool．

C．Find a swimming teacher．

D．Imagine watching others swim．

3.What is true about nervousness according to the passage?

A．It usually has only one cause．

B．It is usually caused by people．

C．People can easily manage it．

D．Most people suffer from it．

4.What is the main purpose of this passage?

A．To introduce the writer’s sports experience．

B．To advise on how to deal with nervousness．

C．To help people remember their fears．

D．To explain the dangers of nervousness．

Much meaning can be conveyed（傳達(dá)） with our eyes，so it is often said that eyes can speak．Do you have such kind of experience? In a bus you may look at a stranger，but not too long．And if he is sensing that he is being stared盯） at，he may feel uncomfortable．

The same is in daily life．If you are looked at for more than necessary，you will look at yourself up and down to see if there is anything wrong with you．If nothing goes wrong，you will feel angry toward other's stare at you that ;way．Eyes do speak，right?

Looking too long at someone may seem to be impolite and even rude．But things are different when it comes to stare at the opposite sex．If a man stares at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to turn his eyes away from the woman，his purpose is obvious．That is，he wishes to attract her attention，to make her understand that he is admiring her．

However，the normal eye contact for two people during a conversation is that the speaker will only look at the listener from time to time；in order to make sure that the listener is paying attention to what the speaker is speaking，to tell him that he is interested．

If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking，as if he tries to control you，you will feel uncomfortable．A poor liar（說(shuō)謊者） usually looks too long at the victim，because he believes that looking straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication．

In fact，continuous eye contact only happens between two lovers，who will enjoy looking at each other gently for a long time，to show feeling that words cannot express．Obviously，eye contact should be done according to the relationship between two people and the proper situation．

Eyes can talk

In our daily life

A lot of feelings can be conveyed to others with our eyes．There are a lot of facts to prove it．

You may feel 1. if you are stared at for more than necessary．And you wonder if there is anything wrong with you．If not，you will feel very angry．

When staring at the opposite sex

Looking too long at a woman you 2. means that you want to attract her attention．

And most of time，continuous eye contact is just for two lovers．

When having a 3. with others

If the speaker looks at the listener at 4. during the conversation，It’s a normal eye contact．

If the speaker is a liar，looking straight in the eye too long isn’t a sign of honest communication．

So remember to look at others at the 5. time．If not．it will make others uncomfortable．
