单选题Questions are based on the following passage.
Once you're prepared for a situation, you're 50 percent of the way toward overcoming nervousness. The other 50 percent is the physical and mental control of nervousness; adjusting your attitude so you have confidence, and control of yourself and your audience.
I was in the theater for many years and always went to work with terrible stage fright--until I was in The King and I. While waiting offstage one night, I saw Yul Brynner, the show's star, pushing in a lunging( 冲. position,against a wall. It looked as though he wanted to knock it down. "This helps me control my nervousness,”he explained.
I tried it and, sure enough, freed myself from stage fright. Not only that, but pushing the wall seemed to give me a whole new kind of physical energy. Later I discovered that when you push against a wall you contract the muscles that lie just below where your ribs(肋骨. begin to splay(开展.. I call this area the vital mangle.
To understand how these muscles work, try this: sit in a straight-backed chair and lean slightly forward. Put your palms together in front of you, your elbows pointing out the sides, your fingertips pointing upward, and push so that you feel pressure in the heels of your palms and under your arms.
Say ssssssss, like a hiss(嘶嘶声) As you're exhaling(轻轻发出) the s, contract those muscles in the vital triangle as though you were rowing a boat, pulling the oars(船桨. back and up. The vital triangle should tighten.Relax the muscles at the end of your exhalation, then inhale gently.
You can also adjust your attitude to prevent nervousness. What you say to yourself sends a message to your audience. If you tell yourself you're afraid, that's the message your listener receives. So select the attitude you want to communicate. Attitude adjusting is your mental suit of armor(铠甲. against nervousness. If you entertain only positive thoughts, you will be giving out these words: joy and ease, enthusiasm, sincerity and concern, and authority.
To overcome nervousness, one should _

A．adjust his attitude as well as make preparations
B．ask the audience to give him confidence
C．try not to be knocked down by stage fright
D．wait offstage

【参考译文】
[46]一旦你已经为一个情境做好准备，你就向克服紧张情绪这一目标靠近了50％。另外50％在于从生理上和心理上进行控制。调整好心态，你就拥有了自信，既能控制自己，也能控制观众。
[47]我曾经在剧院多年，总是带着严重的怯场心理去上班——直到我参演《国王和我》那部剧时为止。[48]当有一天晚上在后台候场的时候，我看见了这场戏中的明星尤尔·布林纳，他正以猛冲的姿势撞向一堵墙，看起来好像要把那堵墙撞倒一样。他解释说：“这能帮助我控制我的紧张情绪。”
我也照着尝试了一下，当然，我也将自己从怯场心理中解救了。不仅如此，推墙的动作似乎赋予了我一种新的身体能量。之后我发现，当你推一堵墙的时候，你的肋骨开始舒展开来，而其下方的肌肉就会收缩。我把这个区域称为“关键三角区”。
为了理解这些肌肉是如何工作的，试试这样做：坐在一个垂直椅背的椅子上，微微向前倾。双掌在身前合十，双肘朝向身体的外侧，指尖向上，两手相推，这样你就能感到手掌的根部和胳膊下面有紧张压迫之感。
发出较长的“咝——～”声，当你呼气并发“咝”的时候，收紧你位于关键三角区的肌肉，好像你在划一艘船一样，将“双桨”上下摆动。[49]你的关键三角区会觉得紧张。在呼气的最后放松你的肌肉，然后轻轻地吸气.
你还可以通过调整心态来避免紧张情绪。[50]你对自己说什么，就会向观众发出同样的信息。如果你告诉自己你很害怕，那么你的听众就会收到这样的信息。因此要选择好你想传递的心态。心态的调整是助你应对紧张情绪的精神铠甲。[50]如果你只抱有积极的想法，你就会传递出这些词汇：愉悦、轻松、热情、真诚、关切以及权威。
【答案解析】
定位：根据题干信息overcome nervousness可将答案定位到第一段。
解析：题干问要想克服紧张情绪，一个人就必须怎样做。文章第一段提到：“一旦你已经为一个情境做好准备，你就向克服紧张情绪这一目标靠近了50％。另外50％在于从生理上和心理上进行控制。”选项A包含了“做好准备”和“调整好心态”两个方面，为正确答案。其他三项都不是文中提到的能克服紧张情绪的办法。故答案为A。
