What is the most stressful(有压力的) thing in school? It may be exams. Exams can put us under a lot of pressure. But some students do better under pressure, while others do not. So, what do some students do better under stress?

 It all comes down to dopamine(多巴胺). 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 not too little.

 Our brains control dopamine in two ways.

 It either takes out dopamine quickly or gradually(逐渐地). Exam success can be linked to how fast dopamine goes back to an even 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 an even balance of dopamine, the quicker you can concentrate helping you perform better on a test.

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

 But don’t be afraid. There is good news for every student. The study also found that the more practice you get, the less stressed you will be.

  So it turns out that practice really does make perfect.

There was a young painter who made a living by painting portraits. One day, a rich man asked him to paint a portrait for him and promised to pay him $10000.

Do you feel lonely when your best friend isn’t around? Here’s our advice to you - and to all kids who feel lonely sometimes.

 It’s hard when a best friend isn’t around - maybe because he or she moved to a different school or a different class. You may feel left out during break or lunch time. You want to make new friends. But how do you find them? Maybe it seems like everybody else already has his or her own friends. But remember there’s always room for more friends.

 Start by looking around your classroom - think about which kids you’d like to play with during break. Look for chances to say hi to hit them, smile and be friendly. Offer to share something or express your appreciation(欣赏) to them. Invite someone to play with you or say “Do you want to sit here?” in the lunchroom. When you’re at break, walk over to kids you want to play with, act friendly and say, “Hi. May I join you?” or just join in.

 If you have trouble doing this or if you are feeling shy, ask your teacher to help you make new friends. Teachers are usually pretty good at matching people up. The best way to make friends is to be a friend. Being kind, being friendly, sharing, saying nice things, offering help - pretty soon, you will have one, or two, or even more friends.

 You might still miss that special best friend. But when you see each other again, you can share something you didn’t have before he or she left. You can introduce him or her to your new friends.

四、阅读表达（5’）

Do you think you’re smart? In fact, smart people have several things in common. These include understanding how much you don’t know, high self-control and even a funny personality, Business Insider reported. You may think these traits(特点) come from personal experience or habits. But in fact, there is some scientific evidence(证据) behind them.

 Knowing how much you don’t know

 Smart people are better able to admit(承认) when they don’t know something, according to a study by Cornell University in the US. The study found that the less intelligent(聪明) you are, the more you overestimate(高估) yourself.

 In one experiment, for example, students were asked to estimate their scores after taking a test. The student with lower scores overestimated the number of questions they’d gotten right. Meanwhile, those with higher scores underestimated how many questions they’d gotten right.

 High self-control

 Scientists have found a link between self-control and intelligence. In a 2009 study published in the journal Psychological Science. Participants(参加者) had to choose between two rewards: a smaller amount of money that they could get at once or a large amount of money that they could get later.

 The results showed that people who choose to receive the large amount of money at a later date scored on intelligence tests. These people had more self-control.

 Being really funny

 Do smart people have a better sense of humor? Scientists at the University of New Mexico may think so. One of their studies found that people who wrote funnier the cartoon captions(解说词) scored higher on verbal(词语的) intelligence tests. Verbal intelligence is believed to be linked to overall intelligence.

 Smart people have several things in common
