【推荐3】根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。（选项中有一项为多余选项）

Exams can put us under a lot of stress.     1     So, why do some students behave better under stress?        

It has to do with dopamine（多巴胺）.     2     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. Our brains control dopamine in two ways.     3     Exam success can be connected to how fast dopamine goes back to a balance.          

What happens when we take an exam?     4     The quicker you are able to go back to a balance of dopamine, the quicker you can focus（集中注意力）, helping you do better on a test.          

Scientists found that, during a test, if people slowly got back to a balance of dopamine , they would score 8 percent lower. That’s the difference between a good mark and a bad mark.          

    5     The study also found that the more practice you get, the less stressed you will be.

A．It either produces dopamine quickly, or bit by bit.

B．But don’t fear, there is good news for every student.

C．If you become stressed, your brain will start to produce too much dopamine.

D．But some students do better under stress, while others do not.

E．Dopamine is a chemical in our body that sends signals（信号）in the brain.

F．Too much dopamine is useful for us to pass an exam.
