It is probably exams. Exams can put us under a lot of stress. But some students do better under stress, while others do not. So, why do some students behave better under stress?It all comes down to dopamine (多巴胺). Dopamine is a chemical in our body that sends signals in the brain. It has many important roles: influencing memory, attention and how we learn.Our brains work best when there is a balance (平衡) of dopaminenot too much or too little. Our brains control dopamine in two ways. It either takes out dopamine quickly, or bit by bit. Exam success can be connected to how fast dopamine goes back to a balance, according to new research from the University of Missouri, reported Yahoo.What happens when we take an exam? If you become stressed, your brain will start to overload 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 focus, helping you do better on a test.Scientists found that, during a test, people who slowly got back to a balance of dopamine scored 8 percent lower. Thats the difference between a good mark and a bad mark.But dont fear, there is good news for every student. The study also found that the more practice you get, the less stressed you will be.

Being a frugal consumer(节俭的消费者) is one way to help. But, what exactly does that mean?Use It UpYou can use things up instead of wasting them. Squeeze that last bit of toothpaste out of the tube. Use the last little piece of soap. Dont throw away any bits of the biscuit at the bottom of the box.Wear It OutYou do not always need to have new things. Suppose your sneakers have broken laces, but they still fit you. Repair them and wear them longer. You dont have the latest iPhone until the old one doesnt work anymore. Then you can get a new one. Think twice before replacing something that still works.Make It DoWhen something you want is not on hand, look for something else that you already have to take its place. Suppose you are packing your lunch for tomorrow and want a butter sandwich. You are out of butter. Have a cheese sandwich instead so that you can use all of the cheese. Learn to fix broken toys instead of just throwing them away. With a little thought, you can make something do, instead of buying something new.Do WithoutThink about all those things that you would like to have. Do you really need them? How long will you really play with that new toy you saw on TV? Making the things that we want uses up your worlds resources(资源). And, getting rid of the things we dont want any more takes up even more resources and space.（1）Do we need to be responsible for our environment?（2）How do we deal with the last little piece of soap?（3）When do we need to get a new iPhone?（4）What should we do when something we want is not on hand？（5）What does the writer want to tell us?4. （6分）阅读理解 My town is a great place to live in.
