What is Math Anxiety?

Math anxiety or fear of math is actually quite common. Math anxiety is quite   36  to stage-fright. Why does someone suffer   37  ? Fear of something going wrong in front of a crowd? Fear of   38  the lines? Fear of being judged   39  ? Fear of going completely blank? Math anxiety conjures(使現(xiàn)出) up fear of some type. The fear that one won't be able to do the   40  or the fear that it's too hard or the fear of failure which often stems(起因于) from having a lack of  41  . For the most part, math anxiety is the   42  about doing the math right, our minds draw a   43  and we think we'll fail and of course the more frustrated and anxious our minds become, the  44  the chance for drawing blanks. Added pressure of having time limits on math tests and exams also cause the levels of anxiety to grow for many students.

Where Does Math Anxiety Come From?

Usually math anxiety stems(起源于) from   45  experiences in mathematics. Typically math phobias(恐慌癥) have had math presented in such a fashion that it led to limited understanding. Unfortunately, math anxiety is often   46  poor teaching and poor experiences in math which typically leads to math  47  . Many of the students I've encountered with math anxiety have demonstrated an over reliance on procedures in math as opposed to actually understanding the math. When one tries to memorize procedures, rules and routines without much   48  , the math is quickly forgotten and   49  soon sets in. Think about your experiences with one concept — the division of fractions(分?jǐn)?shù)). You probably learned about reciprocals(倒數(shù)) and inverses. In other words, ‘It’s not yours to reason why, just invert(反轉(zhuǎn)) and multiply(乘)’. Well, you memorized the rule and it   50  . Why does it work? Do you really understand why it works? Did anyone ever use pizzas or math manipulative(巧妙處理的) to show you why it works? If   51  , you simply memorized the procedure and that was that. Think of math as memorizing all the procedures —   52  if you forget a few? Therefore, with this type of strategy, a good  53  will help, but, what if you don’t have a good memory. Understanding the math is critical. Once students   54  they can do the math, the whole notion of math anxiety can be overcome. Teachers and parents have an important   55  to ensure students understand the math being presented to them.

科目：高中英語 來源：2010-2011學(xué)年貴州省高三上學(xué)期第四次月考（四校聯(lián)考）英語卷 題型：閱讀理解

   Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do; once or twice she had looked into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, “and what is the use of the book,” thought Alice, “without pictures and conversations?”

So she was considering in her own mind whether the pleasure of making a daisy-chain(雛菊花環(huán)) would be worth the trouble of getting up and picking the daisies, when suddenly a white rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her.

There was nothing so very remarkable in that; but when the rabbit actually took a watch out of its waistcoat-pocket, and looked at it, and then hurried on, Alice started to her feet, for it flashed across her mind that she had never before seen a rabbit with either a waistcoat-pocket, or a watch to take out of it, and burning with curiosity, she ran across the field after it, and fortunately was just in time to see it pop down a large rabbit- hole under the bush.

The rabbit-hole went straight on like a tunnel for some way, and then dipped suddenly down, so suddenly that Alice had not a moment to think about stopping herself before she found herself falling down a very deep well.

Down, down, down. Would the fall never come to an end? “I wonder how many miles I’ve fallen by this time?” she said aloud. “I must be getting somewhere near the centre of the earth. Let me see: that would be four thousand miles down, I think. I wonder if I shall fall right through the earth! How funny it’ll seem to come out among the people that walk with their heads downward! The Antipathies, I think—but I shall have to ask them what the name of the country is, you know. ‘Please, Ma’am, is this New Zealand or Australia?’ And what an ignorant little girl she’ll think me for asking! No, it’ll never do to ask.”

Down, down, down. There was nothing else to do, when suddenly, thump! thump! Down she came upon a heap of sticks and dry leaves, and the fall was over.

1.What kind of books do you think will interest Alice most?

A．Books that her sister was reading.

B．Books without pictures or conversations.

C．Books about white rabbits.

D．Books with pictures and conversations.

2.Which of the following is true?

A．Alice suddenly saw a white rabbit with a strange umbrella.

B．Alice managed to fall right through the earth.

C．Alice ran after the white rabbit across the field out of curiosity.

D．The people on the opposite side of the earth walk with their heads downward.

3.Which is the right order of the story?

a. Alice jumped into a large hole.

b. A white rabbit ran close by her.

c. Alice sat by her sister, doing nothing.

d. She fell upon some sticks and dry leaves.

A．c-b-a-d

B．d-a-c-b

C．a(chǎn)-b -c-d

D．d-c-a -b

4. From the passage, we can see Alice is a(n)________girl.

A．helpful and friendly

B．curious and imaginative

C．brave and curious

D．ignorant and pretty

5. The following paragraph “In another moment down went Alice after it, never once considering how in the world she was to get out again.” can be put between_________.

A．Paragraphs 1 and 2

B．Paragraphs 2 and 3

C．Paragraphs 3 and 4

D．Paragraph 4 and 5
