Anne Whitney, a sophomore at Colorado State University, first had a problem taking tests when she began college.” I was always well prepared for my tests. Sometimes I studied for weeks before a test. Yet I would go in to take the test, only to find I could not answer the questions correctly. I would blank out because of nervousness and fear. I couldn't think of the answer. My low grades on the tests did not show what I knew to the teacher." Another student in microbiology had similar experiences. He said, “My first chemistry test was very difficult. Then, on the second test, I sat down to take it, and I was so nervous that I was shaking. My hands were moving up and down so quickly that it was hard to hold my pencil. I knew the material and I knew the answers. Yet I couldn't even write them down!”

These two young students were experiencing something called test anxiety. Because a student worries and is uneasy about a test, his or her mind does not work as well as it usually does. The student can't write or think clearly because of the extreme tension and nervousness. Although poor grades are often a result of poor study habits, sometimes test anxiety causes the low grades. Recently, test anxiety had been recognized as a real problem, not just an excuse or a false explanation of lazy students.

Special university counseling courses try to help students. In these courses, counselors try to help students by teaching them how to manage test anxiety. At some universities, students take tests to measure their anxiety. If the tests show their anxiety is high, the students can take short courses to help them deal with their tension. These courses teach students how to relax their bodies. Students are trained to become calm in very tense situations. By controlling their nervousness, they can let their minds work at ease . Learned information then comes out without difficulty on a test.

An expert at the University of California explains. “With almost all students, relaxation and less stress are felt after taking our program. Most of them experience better control during their tests. Almost all have some improvement. With some, the improvement is very great.”

1．According to the writer, poor grades are mainly the result of _________.   

  A．test anxiety                                B．laziness

  C．lack of sleep                          D．inability to form good study habits

2．To deal with this problem, students are supposed to _________. 

  A．take a short course on anxiety     

  B．read about anxiety

  C．be able to manage or understand their anxiety

  D．take tests to prove they are not experiencing anxiety

3．An expert at the University of California said _________.  

  A．a(chǎn)ll students could overcome the anxiety after taking a special test program

  B．a(chǎn)lmost all students felt less stress after taking the counseling course

  C．students found it difficult to improve even though they had taken a special test

       D．students found it easy to relax as soon as they took the counseling course
