请阅读下面短文，按要求完成后面的小题，并将答案写在答题卡相应的位置上。
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.

In today’s world many people seem to be hungry for money. Some of them even lose their lives for it. Money does have its most useful effect(影响) on the poor, but once a person has a rich life, a lot more money doesn’t mean more happiness.
If money was everything, all millionaires(百万富翁) would have true love, true friendship, good health and a long life. However, this is not always true.
Nothing else is more pleasant than the three words which are “I love you”. But can love be bought? I’m afraid not. Love means to give, not to take. To every person, health and long life are probably the most precious(宝贵的) things. Well, can health and a long life be bought with money? The answer is “No”.
Of all the longest living people in the world, few of them are millionaires. True friendship can’t be bought either. In a word, where money is worshiped(崇拜), money can cause brothers to quarrel, lovers to hate, strangers to fight and so on. No matter how much money you have, it is still not enough to make you a happy person if you have not one to laugh with, no one to cry for.
1.According to the passage, which of the following do you think is right?
A. Money is everything. B. Money isn’t necessary.
C. Money is important, but not the most important. D. With no money, with no success.
2.What’s the most important thing for every person according to the writer’s ideas?
A. Only money. B. Health and a long life C. Only friendship. D. A, B and C
3.Which sentence of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. If you haven’t much money, you can’t get more happiness.
B. You may live a long life even if you are poor.
C. Every year many people die in the world because their family is poor.
D. If you are rich, you will have less friendship.
4.In fact, all millionaires ____________.
A. have much money B. die earlier C. love their money D. have true love
5.What does the sentence “Love means to give, not to take.” mean in the passage?
A. 爱意味着给你，而不能带走。 B. 爱是可以得到的，不要走开。
C. 爱意味着奉献，而不是索取。 D. 爱是可以索取的，而不必付出。
1.C 2.B 3.B 4.B 5.C 【解析】试题本文主要说明了感情远比金钱重要的道理。在当今世界，许多人似乎渴望金钱。他们中的一些人甚至失去了生命。对于穷人，钱有很大的影响。但是，如果一个人有更多的钱，并不意味着有更多的幸福。无论你拥有多少金钱，如果你没有一个可以与你一起哭一起笑的人，你也不会是一个幸福的人。 1.题意：根据文章，你认为下列哪一项是正确的？考...查看答案和解析>>
