Exams can put us under a lot of pressure. But some students do better under pressure, while others do not. So, why do some students perform better under stress?It all comes down to dopamine(多马胺). Dopamine is a chemical in our body that sends signals(信号) in the brain. It has many important roles: affecting memory, attention and how we learn. Our brains work best when there is a balance of dopamine-not too much or too little.Our brains control dopamine in two ways. It either takes out dopamine quickly, or gradually(逐渐). Exam success can be linked(链接) to how fast dopamine goes back to an even balance, according to new research from the University of Missouri, reported Yahoo.Scientists found that, during a test, if people got back slowly to an even balance of dopamine, they would score 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 youll be.So, it turns out that practice really does make perfect. （1）Dopamine is a chemical in our body that _.

Meals in that dining room were a time for four generations to become one. Always that clock stood like an old family friend, watching over the laughter and gentle joking. As a child, I was amazed at how at different times of the day, that clock would chime(鸣响). I found the clock comforting. Year after year, the clock chimed, a part of my memories, a part of my heart. Even more wonderful to me was that my grandfather wound(上发条)that clock with a special key each day, which kept the clock chiming. I remember watching as my grandfather put into the key and wound not too much, never overwind, nor too little. He never let that clock wind down and stop.

All of a sudden, I was a child again, watching my grandfather looking at me, at the secret of the clocks magic, at the key that held so much power. Slowly, I put into the key and wound the clock.

And western hosts sometimes look rude (粗鲁的) in the eyes of Chinese guests. It is because the guest-host relationship in China is quite different from that in some western countries.In China, guests are almost like gods. Whenever I enter a Chinese friends home, there is always fruit on the table for me, and someone is quick to bring me a cup of tea or water. In the west, generally the guest is not a god. Acting according to the hosts way of doing things is usual behavior for a guest.My wifes mother, a very kind Chinese lady, doesnt smoke. When I see some of her guests smoking in her house, as a non-smoker, I feel unhappy. Usually, I want to stop them directly, but I must realize that in China, to be a good host, she must not do that.In most North American homes, if you are a guest, and the hosts are not smokers, you should not smoke in their house. At the very least, you should ask, Is it OK if I smoke? But dont be surprised if they say, No, you cant smoke. In my culture, if you smoke in their house, you are a bad guest, but if they dont allow you to smoke in their house, they are not rude hosts.In a word, no matter where you are, the best way to be a good guest is to adapt to (适应) the habits of your hosts.（1）When a western guest visits a Chinese family, he often _.
