sand.Imagine swimming in the warm mythic Aegean sea，with volcano and sunsets as a backdrop.Churches are built

I was a recent graduate of a leading business school and I was to join a big company in Gomia，Bihar.The company
chose only the best，and I was full of it.
The night train from Calcutta would reach Gomia in the morning.I had a letter that said there would be a car to pick me
up from the station and take me to the Guest House.However，I found no person in sight to receive me when I got off
the train.I felt let down.I carried the luggage on my shoulder and came to the exit.There I saw a nice car.The driver was
walking towards the car.Ah，my driver，there he was!
I went up to him and asked him to carry my luggage.He asked me who I was and I introduced myself.The driver opened
the back door and had me seated.Along the way，he asked me some questions about me and my family.I was angry with
the driver who asked too much and answered him in monosyllables（只言片语）.After reaching the Guest House，we
said goodbye.
The next day was a big day.I was to meet the boss of the place，Dr.S.K.Kamat，and I was nervous.I knocked on the
door and walked into the large office.The big man had his back to me and as he turned，I recognized the man
immediately.He was the driver!
He gave me a broad smile and said he was S.K.Kamat.I could have died at that moment.I apologized for my behavior and
was at a loss for words.He said that he had come to the station to see off a friend.And he had seen me and wanted to be of
assistance.He never referred to the incident almost as if it didn't happen.When I walked out of the office，I learned a
great lesson.

Do you get nervous thinking about a coming math test？If yes,you are far from alone.Math anxiety has become a
common condition among students around the world.Students in countries with higher levels of math anxiety tend to
achieve lower math grades,according to a study published by the National Academy of Sciences on Feb 15.
Math anxiety-a negative emotional reaction to the core subject-causes fear,physical suffering and behavior problems
among young pupils,according to a University of Cambridge study.Some people also experience physical symptoms such
as sweaty palms or a racing heart.They may then try to avoid every situation involving numbers,meaning they are held
back from pursuing careers related to this subject,such as technology or engineering,according to The Guardian.
Relief comes from the fact that those with math anxiety aren't destined（注定的）to be bad at math. "If a child has math
anxiety,don't assume that they're not good at math.They may have had a really bad experience with math and there are
ways to improve math achievement, " Daniel Ansari,the senior author of the study told The London Free Press.
Also,there are ways to manage your stress related to math.If you're feeling stressed before a math exam,it may help to
spend a few minutes exploring those feelings before the exam begins. "It's about making sure you're interpreting your
feelings correctly, "Sian Beilock,a cognitive（认知的） scientist told the BBC. "Just because you have a fast heartbeat
and sweaty palms,that does not necessarily mean you will fail. "
Math doesn't come easy,no matter how clever you are.Leonardo da Vinci,the famous Italian artist,was a huge fan of
mathematics.But his notebooks show that Da Vinci couldn't do fractions（分数）.He could never grasp,for instance,that
dividing a number by one-quarter is the same as multiplying by four,resulting in a higher number than the original.
8. What do we know about math anxiety？ ______
A. People who are good at math don't experience math anxiety.
B. It is most commonly seen among teenagers.
