Performing better under pressure

What is the most stressful thing in school? It is probably exams．小題1:．       But some students succeed under pressure，while others struggle．So，why do some students perform better under stress?
It all comes down to dopamine （多巴胺）． Dopamine is a chemical in our body that sends signals （信號(hào)） in the brain．It has many important roles：affecting memory，attention and how we learn．小題2:．       
Our brains control dopamine in two ways．It either takes out dopamine quickly，or gradually．Exam success can be linked to how fast dopamine goes back to a balance，according to new research from the University of Missouri，reported Yahoo．
小題3:．       If you become stressed，your brain will start to overload （起負(fù)荷） on dopamine．It is like a cup overflowing with water．The quicker you are able to go back to a balance of dopamine，the quicker you can concentrate．小題4:．      
Researchers found that，during a test，people who slowly got back to a balance of dopamine scored 8 percent lower． That’s me difference between a good mark and a bad mark．
But don't fear，there is good news for every student．小題5:．    So，it turns out that practice really makes perfect．

Answer 1

小題1:B
小題2:E
小題3:D
小題4:A
小題5:C

試題分析: 本文提到在學(xué)校中給人壓力最大的就是考試，分析原因在于大腦中多巴胺的平衡能力起著重要作用，但也不要忽視熟能生巧這個(gè)原則會(huì)讓你減輕壓力。
小題1:B 根據(jù)上文提到What is the most stressful thing in school? It is probably exams．在學(xué)校最有壓力的事情是什么呢？可能是考試。所以緊接講考試會(huì)把我們處于壓力之下，故選B項(xiàng)。
小題2:E 根據(jù)上文提到Dopamine is a chemical in our body that sends signals （信號(hào)） in the brain．It has many important roles：affecting memory，attention and how we learn．多巴胺是身體中一種化學(xué)元素，向大腦發(fā)出信號(hào)，他有很多重要的功能，影響記憶，注意力和如何學(xué)習(xí)。所以選E項(xiàng)當(dāng)他在我們身體中平衡時(shí)，我們大腦才能更好的工作。
小題3:D 根據(jù)下方提到If you become stressed，your brain will start to overload （起負(fù)荷） on dopamine如果你感到壓力時(shí)，你的大腦會(huì)開(kāi)始起多巴胺起負(fù)荷作用，所以選D。考試中會(huì)發(fā)生什么樣的狀況？
小題4:A 根據(jù)上文提到The quicker you are able to go back to a balance of dopamine，the quicker you can concentrate．你身體迅速恢復(fù)多巴胺的平衡能力越快，你越能集中注意力。所以選A 他能幫助你在考試中更好的表現(xiàn)。
小題5:C 根據(jù)下方提到So，it turns out that practice really makes perfect因此，他證明熟能生巧，所以選C 研究發(fā)現(xiàn)你練習(xí)的越多，你的壓力越小。
