Anxious exam candidates’ problem is the run-up or preparation, not the exam itself.
Exams are always tense and worrying, especially for those of an anxious disposition. The silence of the hall; the ____51____ of the clock; the content expression of the person at the neighbouring desk. It therefore seems ____52____ surprising that those who worry about tests do systematically ____53____ than those who do not. Unexpectedly, according to research in Psychological Science by Maria Theobald, it is not the pressure of the exam which causes the problem. It is the ____54____ pressure.
What Dr Therobald found was that ____55____ on the day of the test did not predict exam performance at all. What predicted it was the level of knowledge a student ____56____ in the earlier learning activities and the mock (模拟) exam. Those who ____57____ well in these also did well in the real thing, ____58____ how anxious they were on the day. What actually ____59____ students were high levels of anxiety during the weeks before the exam took place. The greater a student’s anxiety in the days before the exam, the lower his or her knowledge-gain was during that period, leaving that student with less material to _____60_____ during the exam itself.
This is a positive discovery, for it suggests the anxious might achieve better result by adjusting their _____61_____ when revising. Dr. Theobald notes that test-anxiety is at its worst when students have low_____62_____of success and at the same time know that passing the exam is _____63_____ important. To reduce this anxiety, she proposes a _____64_____ for students to consider as they revise. First, they can raise their belief in their own abilities by reminding themselves of just how much they know. Second, they can _____65_____ the significance of the test by reminding themselves that, while it is important, it is not a life or death situation. It really isn’t.

In all one’s lifetime it is oneself that one spends the most time being with or dealing with. But it is ____66____ oneself that one has the least understanding of. When you are going upwards in life you tend to overestimate yourself. It seems that everything you seek for is within your ____67____. When you are going downhill you tend to underestimate yourself.
To get a thorough understanding of oneself is to gain a correct view of oneself and be a realist-aware of both one’s ____68____ and weaknesses.

You may be ____71____ to meet challenges but it should be clear to you ____72____ to direct your efforts. That’s to say, so long as you have a perfect ____73____ of yourself, there won’t be difficulties you can’t overcome.
To get a thorough understanding of oneself needs self-appreciation. Whether you think you are a towering tree or a blade of grass, a high mountain or a small stone, you represent a state of nature that has its own reason of ____74____. If you earnestly admire yourself you’ll have a real sense of self-appreciation, which will give you confidence. ____75____ you gain full confidence in yourself, you’ll be enabled to fight and overcome any difficulty.
To get a thorough understanding of oneself also requires doing oneself a favor when it’s needed. In time of anger, do yourself a favor by giving an outlet to it in a quiet place so that you won’t be hurt by its flames; in time of sadness, do yourself a favor by ____76____ it with your friends so as to change a gloomy mood into a cheerful one; in time of tiredness, do yourself a favor by getting a good sleep or taking some stimulant. Show yourself loving concern about your health and daily life. ____77____ you know perfectly well when and how to do yourself a favor, you won’t be confident and ready enough to ____78____ the attack of illness. As you are aware, what a person physically has is but a human body that’s vulnerable when ____79____ to the elements. So if you fall ill, it’s up to you to take a good care of yourself.
