You may even become so fearful or worried that you can't focus or think. This is known as test anxiety, which can stop you in your thinking process. It is a kind of feeling caused by too much stress Stress causes different levels of anxiety. Good stress causes just enough worry to get you to focus on a task and do it well.

Prepare yourself by making sure you understand what you will be tested on. You can not do well in exams unless you fully understand the knowledge you have learned. And don't forget to keep your body full of energy by having enough sleep. These will help you do well The next step is to know about your body and realize the signs of anxiety before bad stress happens. One way is to place yourself in a "mental room" and check yourself as if watching from above.

If you find yourself highly nervous, take a moment to step back. Stop and close your eyes. Take deep breaths and think of a peaceful place to calm yourself down. As you relax, remind yourself that you have prepared and that all will be fine Remember, we all experience anxiety at times. Whether you're taking a test performing, or competing, you can use the tips above to keep cool. They will help you be your best for the test and for any other challenges you face. 37.

So airlines offer passenger food.41 To deal with this problem, airlines try hard to improve their food. 42 However, the food itself is not the main reason. According to a scientific research. par of the reason is that at high altitude (海拔) we can not taste things as well as we do on the ground. Also scientists have found that our noses become very dry even before plane takes off. 43 So our taste buds become senseless. The sad fact however, is that our noses don't know it. 44 They also help explain why airlines choose to offer passengers salty and spicy food. Without doing so. the foo would be tasteless.
