It was the final game for my eight?year?old son's soccer game.Near the end of the match，the score was two to one，my son's team being ahead.Parents sat around the field，offering encouragement.

There were less than ten seconds left and the ball stopped in front of one of my son's teammates，Mickey.With cheering shouts across the field，Mickey went back a little and kicked the ball with everything he had.All around me the crowd became crazy and excited.Mickey had scored!

Then there was a complete silence.Mickey had scored，but into the wrong gate — the ball went into the gate of my son's team，ending the game in a draw．You see，Mickey has a serious illness in his head，which makes his IQ lower than that of normal children of the same age.And for him，he didn't understand what a wrong goal was.All goals were celebrated by a happy hug from Mickey.He had been known to hug the players whom he was fighting against when they scored.

The silence was finally broken when Mickey，his face filled with joy，caught my son，hugged him and shouted，“I scored! I scored! Everybody won! Everybody won！” For a moment I held my breath，not sure what my son would do or say.In fact，I didn't need to worry at that time.I watched through tears，when I found my son raised his hand and started to call out wildly，“Well done，Mickey！” Soon，members from both teams got together around Mickey，congratulating on his goal.

Later that night，my daughter asked who had won.“Everybody won，” I smiled and replied.

Many people do not know what to do in face of a decision，big or small.Most decisions aren't life?changers.But often，the decision isn't between this or that; it's between acting or not.1.

Do something that scares you：Tell someone you love them.4. And when you do this，remember how you feel.When you're scared by a risky situation the next time，tell yourself that you didn't die.And try to trust the process in the future.

What is the most stressful thing in school? It is probably exams.Exams can put us under a lot of pressure.But some students do well under pressure，while others feel terrible.So，why do some students perform better under stress?

It all comes down to dopamine(多巴胺)．Dopamine is a chemical(化学物质) in our brain that sends signals(信号) to our body.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.

大脑通过两种方式控制多巴胺。It either takes out dopamine quickly，or gradually.Exam success can be connected to how fast dopamine goes back to a balance.

What happens when we take an exam? If you become stressed，your brain will start to overload(超负荷) on dopamine.It is like a cup overflowing with water.The quicker you can go back to a balance of dopamine，the quicker you will concentrate，helping you perform better on a test.

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

But don't fear，there is some good news.The__study__also__found__that__the__more__practice__you__get，the__less__stressed__you'll__be.So，it turns out that practice really does make perfect.
