閱讀理解 How to beat nerves 　　Do you blank out, freeze up(呆住)or feel so nervous in exams that you have trouble writing answers to questions that you knew just last night? 　　If so, you likely have a case of test anxiety． 　　But, don’t panic．By recognizing the problem, you are taking the first step towards overcoming it． 　　Believe it or not, a touch of nervousness can sharpen your mind, allowing you to perform more quickly．This is because under stress, the body releases the hormone adrenaline(腎上腺素), which prepares it for something important that will happen．However, too much anxiety can result in sleeplessness, loss of appetite before tests, and poor performance．Some people might feel shaky(weak), hot, or even sick． 　　If you worry a lot or are a perfectionist, you are more likely to have trouble with test anxiety．Those who have prepared poorly for a test or have had negative experiences taking tests may also experience test anxiety． 　　When you feel a storm of anxiety coming on, stop what you're doing and make your mind a blank．If possible, actually tell yourself to ‘STOP!’ This will get your mind off the stress．Then think of being at a place of comfort and let your body relax．As you continue the test, find questions you know the answers to and answer them first．This will help restore your confidence． 　　Talk to yourself using positive language．Make it a habit to replace each negative thought with a logical reason．For example：“I've studied hard and I know the material, so I’m ready to do the best I can．”Another thing you can do is to learn to accept mistakes．In fact, they can be valuable learning opportunities． 　　Last but not least, start test preparation early three to five days ahead of the quiz or test．After all, good study habits and skills．for example, time management and note-taking will give you the feeling that you are in control． (1) The main purpose of the passage is to ________． [　　] A． tell you that worrying is no good B． show the ways to overcome test anxiety C． describe the effects caused by exams D． suggest making full preparations for exams (2) From the passage, we know that when you experience test anxiety, you ________． [　　] A． are no longer sure of yourself and cannot think clearly B． develop negative thoughts about yourself in everyday life C． feel so nervous that you can’t sleep before the test D． feel anxious in the exam and always fail in exams (3) The phrase“l(fā)ast but not least”at the last paragraph means ________． [　　] A． the last but actually there are more B． the last in order and importance C． the last but as important as others D． the last but the most important (4) From the passage, we can infer that ________． [　　] A． you should not place too high expectations on yourself B． low scores in exams are only a result of test anxiety C． you need to get yourself completely under control D． test anxiety forms good study habits
