It is often said that without its military the Soviet Union would really be a third-world nation. The growing strength of the Third World is an important factor for world peace. The new standard of power and influence that is evolving now places more emphasis on the ability of a country to compete effectively in the economic markets of the world.

H、As it grows old, however, the star eventually explodes to become what is called a nova，a superstar.

She studied hard for a week before the test, but her mind went blank on some of the questions. She remembers feeling the same way in elementary school in Mrs. Smiths class. Mrs. Smith always told her, “You’re not trying hard enough. That’s what your problem is.” Joan looks at the other students sitting calmly in their seats. She feels helpless and wonders why. What Joan does not know is that she is suffering from the symptoms of math anxiety.
