請閱讀下面短文，按要求完成后面的小題，并將答案寫在答題卡相應的位置上。

What is the most stressful thing in school? It is probably exams.Exams can put us under a lot of pressure.But some students do well under pressure，while others feel terrible.So，why do some students perform better under stress?

It all comes down to dopamine(多巴胺)．Dopamine is a chemical(化學物質(zhì)) in our brain that sends signals(信號) to our body.It has many important roles：influencing memory，attention and how we learn.Our brains work best when there is a balance of dopamine — not too much or too little.

大腦通過兩種方式控制多巴胺。It either takes out dopamine quickly，or gradually.Exam success can be connected to how fast dopamine goes back to a balance.

What happens when we take an exam? If you become stressed，your brain will start to overload(超負荷) on dopamine.It is like a cup overflowing with water.The quicker you can go back to a balance of dopamine，the quicker you will concentrate，helping you perform better on a test.

Scientists found that，during a test，people who slowly got back to a balance of dopamine scored 8 percent lower.That's the difference between a good mark and a bad mark.

But don't fear，there is some good news.The__study__also__found__that__the__more__practice__you__get，the__less__stressed__you'll__be.So，it turns out that practice really does make perfect.
