Question

   考试之前，很多学生会非常紧张，以至于寝食 难安，美国专家布朗先生给我们来支招，请仔细阅 读下面材料，从A-G七个选项中为每一段选择恰 当的主旨句。

   Sometimes,hours before a test,you have such a sense of nervousness (紧张) at the eve of a test that you don't even want to go to school. Here are some ways to improve your confidence and keep the panic (恐慌) under control:

   1. Getting a full night of sleep before a big test can be a great help. You’ll feel better,think clearer,and be in a better mood to tackle anything the test can throw at you. This is one of the best reasons not to put off studying until the last minute ： you’ve got to go to bed on time the night before the exam.

   2. Food is the fuel for your body and brain,so eat a balanced breakfast on the morning of the test.

   3. In the days before the test,practice taking deep breaths,especially at times when you feel stressed. Feel the air flow through your lungs and the calm move through your body. This is a skill you can use when you’re sitting down for a test. Breathe in. Breathe out. Keep a level head.

   4. Have a picture in your head of something that makes you calm,relaxed,and happy. It might be your bedroom,or the ocean,or somewhere you once hiked in the mountains.

   5. Say things to yourself that will boost your confidence. Tell yourself this test can't scare you and you’re totally prepared to ace it. Push negative thoughts out of your head. If you think confident,you’ll be more confident.

   A. Think of something peaceful.

   B. Eat a healthy breakfast.

   C. Think positive.

   D. Forget the result.

   E. Avoid coffee.

   F. Just breathe.

   G. Get a good night's sleep.
