11、es a bus in spite of the trouble yet in the hope of picking up his missing masters scent(氣味). But his master never comes.

12、 days. Every day he has waited patiently in line for the bus to arrive, boarded with other passengers and then searched the seats. Drivers say he spends ten hours every day searching any bus that passes. But finally, as night falls, he gives up and disappears into the darkness, only to return the ne

13、xt day to start again. According to bus staff interviewed by local paper, Huang Huang has appeared at the stop consistently(一貫地)for the past 15 days. “Every day I go to the stop five times, and every day that dog will jump on board my bus to give it an inspection”, a conductor said. “At first I thou

14、ght it was looking for food, but I later realized that it was looking for its owner. ”And hes now become something of a local celebrity(名人)in the city after one person filmed his painstaking searches on a mobile phone and posted it online. His newfound fame will not be of a comfort to the lonely dog

15、 as his owner is yet to be found. A book seller named Fung said he thought he had seen Huang Huang standing with his owner in the car park around a month ago.

18、ervous before a test that they do poorly even if they know the material. Sian Beilock has studied these highly anxious test-takers. Sian Beilock, “They start worrying about the consequences. They might even start worrying about whether this exam is going to prevent them from getting into the college

19、 they want. And when we worry, it actually uses up attention and memory resources. I talk about it as your cognitive(認(rèn)知的)horsepower that you could otherwise be using to focus on the exam. ”Professor Beilock and another researcher, Gerardo Ramirez, have developed a possible solution. Just before an e

20、xam, highly anxious test-takers spend ten minutes writing about their worries about the test. Sian Beilock, “What we think happens is when students put it down on paper, they think about the worst that could happen and they reappraise(重新評價)the situation. They might realize its not as bad as they mig

21、ht think it was before and, in essence, it prevents these thoughts from popping up when theyre actually taking a test. ”The researchers tested the idea on a group of twenty anxious college students. They gave them two short math tests. After the first one, they asked the students to either sit quiet

22、ly or write about their feelings about the upcoming second test. The researchers added to the pressure. They told the students that those who did well on the second test would get money. They also told them that their performance would affect other students as part of a team effort. Professor Beiloc

23、k says those who sat quietly scored an average of twelve percent worse on the second test. But the students who had written about their fears improved their performance by an average of five percent. Next, the researchers used younger students in a biology class. They told them before final exams ei

24、ther to write about their feelings or to think about things unrelated to the test. Professor Beilock says highly anxious students who did the writing got an average grade of B+, compared to a B-for those who did not. Sian Beilock, “What we showed is that for students who are highly test-anxious, who

25、d done our writing intervention, all of a sudden there was no relationship between test anxiety and performance. Those students most prone(有傾向的)to worry were performing just as well as their classmates who dont normally get nervous in these testing situations. ”But what if students do not have a cha

26、nce to write about their fears immediately before an exam or presentation? Professor Beilock says students can try it themselves at home or in the library and still improve their performance. 24.

30、reat shock to him, his family, and his friends. However, in spite of the serious illness, he was initially determined to look into all available treatments that might cure or extend his life. I think that when you find yourself in such situations, you tend to look up every possible way for hope of s

31、aving your life. As months went on and his health grew worse, I noticed an unexpected change in attitude that came over him. He had also been a happy person with a cheerful personality, but rather than give in to discouragement and self-pity, he took comfort in God and humanity. His talks focused on

32、 others rather than himself, and he spoke of the afterlife as something he was prepared for, believing that his concerned ancestors, including his mother and father, were there waiting for him. During the last few months, weeks, and days of his life, he was kindly cared for by family, friends, his l

33、oving wife, who looked after both his physical and emotional needs, and workers from a local hospice(安養(yǎng)院)came to the home to regulate his medication and provide any other needed support. He didnt complain about his fate, and he willingly allowed others to serve him. Indeed, one might think why God a

34、llows death and suffering in our world, but for me, such experiences taught me to value family more and kindness for others.
