三、阅读理解
Some people love working out Maths problems, but more people feel nervous(紧张的) when they have to deal with(处理) numbers. It may sound unbelievable, but many students have this "Maths anxiety(焦虑)".
The problem really starts in childhood. Research has found that if Maths teachers are nervous about teaching the subject, they can pass on their anxiety to students. And girls may be more likely to be influenced(影响). The programme for International Student Assessment found about 31% of the students aged 15 to 16 across 34 countries said they were nervous when doing Maths homework.
Shulamit Kahn, a woman from Boston University, believes giving students good role models is important, especially at a young age. She thinks the best way is to get people who love Maths, especially women, to teach children Maths.
Writing for BBC Future, David Robson, an expert, said, "It's not clear why Maths makes more fear(恐惧) than other subjects like Geography. But the Maths answer is either right or wrong. There's no room for bluffing. Students are easily worried. They might think they can't do well. And if we think we're not Maths people, we avoid solving the problems that we probably could do."
The reasons for Maths anxiety may be different, but someone thinks showing your fears bravely can be helpful. We can also help children see a Maths test as a challenge(挑战), not a threat. More importantly, we need to think positively(积极地) about Maths and give it a second chance.
