2. Read the text below and check your answers to task 1 above.
Have you ever thought about it? Decent, generous behaviour can turn a sad day into something special or transform hopeless
feelings into hopeful ones. ‘’ When you do something nice and kind for someone, you’ll notice a beautiful feeling of ease and
peace ‘’, says Richard Carlson, one of the best-selling American writers. ‘’ Acts of loving kindness release the emotional equivalent
of endorphins, the feeling-good chemicals which flood your senses after exercise’’ he adds.
‘’As a doctor, I can tell you that kindness heals the heart’’ says cardiologist and psychotherapist Stephen Sinatra, author of
Heartbreak and Heart Disease. Sinatra says that rage and anger, which are the reverse side of kindness, increase surges in adrenaline
and cortisol, two of the main hormones, which contribute to heart disease. ‘’ On the contrary, kindness along with feelings of love
and tenderness, simulate the parasympathetic nervous system and increase calmness and decrease the levels of cortisol in the body’’,
explains Sinatra. However, personally, I think that kindness is above all a personal choice. Simple kindness, like helping a
handicapped person cross the street, is given without any expectation of reward and recognition. This is what makes kind people
very special.

Question : Can you help me ? At the end of every term at school, we have a thorough examination in every subject .I always revise my
lessons for these tests., but on the day of the exam I feel anxious , and I get into panic when I see the test. I never manage to score well.

Answer: Don’t worry. It’s quite natural and normal to be nervous when you take your exams.
You should tell yourself that your classmates feel the same as you do, and that anxiety can be positive. §2
But you are right to think that panic is a big problem. Many pupils fail their exams because they lose self-control. There are three
main reasons for this. Firstly, they take the exam just for the scores. Secondly, they are not positive. They don’t say, “we can do it”. And
thirdly, they usually adopt the wrong approach. §3
So what should you do? You should start to think positively about your exams. Don’t think you are a total failure just because of
lack of success in previous exams. You should also keep in mind that you don’t take exams only for the scores. You ought to look at them
as an opportunity to show to yourself what you can really do. Finally, make sure you don’t start answering the exam questions as soon as
the teacher hands them to you. §4
