答案与题解：

1.B本文第一段讲的是钢琴家VladimirFeltsman被MstislavRostropovich绊倒后，他的怯场被治愈了的经受。

2.A其次段的最终一句点出怯场的诸多症状：手指冰凉、四肢颤抖、心跳加速、大脑一片空白。

3.B本文的第三、第四、第五和第六段都在讲老师和心理学家为怯场者供应全方位的建议。

4.A依据第三段的倒数其次句：someexcitementisnatural，evennecessaryfordynamicplaying.(适度的兴奋对于精彩演出是正常甚至是必要的)

5.c第四段提到克服怯场的方法之一是：在观众中选择三名比较友善的人，与他们做眼神沟通。所以克服怯场要靠自己而不是希望全部的观众都友好。

6.A第五段讲了怯场的根源在于导师或父母对表演者要求太高。Extremedemands就是expecttoomuchofthem的意思。

7.B第七段讲的是：不只年轻艺术家会怯场，钢琴家VladimirHorowitz和男高音FrancoCorelli亦不能幸免。Never一词不恰当。

译文：如何避开怯场

上台就跌倒。这是个奇怪的方法!但不推举。可它的确挽救了钢琴家弗拉基米尔·菲兹曼，那个时候他才十几岁，正在莫斯科表演。资深大提琴手米提斯拉夫·罗斯特罗波维奇有意在他上台前将他绊倒，关心他摆脱上台前的恐慌。菲兹曼先生说：“全部的可怕都烟消云散类。我已经摔倒了，还有比这更糟糕的吗?”

如今，音乐学校都在课堂中强调焦虑问题，由于这是讲授表演技巧和打好表演基础的课程。怯场有许多表现，比如手指冰冷、四肢颤抖、心跳加速、大脑一片空白，音乐家们可以学着用很多多应变策略应对这些问题。

老师和心理学家给出了很多建议，从基础的做法，比如将演奏曲目烂熟于心，到精神训练，比如想象演出场景，有步骤地进行放松等。他们强调，不要掩饰你的紧急感，适度的兴奋对于精彩演出是正值甚至是必要的。为了积累阅历，要常在公众场合演出。

黛安·尼克尔斯是一名心理治疗师，她给出了一些上台前的建议：“做两次深度的腹式呼吸，扩胸，然后微笑，留意不是那种仿佛央求对方不
