Many eighth‑grade students met study pressure last term. A local middle school did a small survey among Grade‑8 students last November. Most students said they felt stressed from exams, much homework and high expectations from parents.

Some students dealt with pressure in bad ways. They stayed up late playing mobile games. Some kept all bad feelings inside their hearts and seldom talked with others. Those ways brought more trouble: poor sleep, bad moods and worse grades.

However, other students chose healthy ways. When they felt upset, they took short walks or did some sports. Some talked their worries out with friends or teachers. The survey showed these students felt much better after using proper ways. The report told teenagers pressure was common, but they should find healthy ways to relax themselves.

Last term, Lucy met heavy study pressure. She worried about her coming monthly exam. She stayed up late every night to do more exercises. However, her grades did not become better. Instead, she felt sleepy in class and often got angry easily. Sometimes she even didn’t want to talk with her classmates.  

Her head‑teacher found her problems. One afternoon, they had a long talk. The teacher told her proper pressure could push her forward, but too‑much pressure was bad for both body and mind. She advised Lucy to make reasonable study plans and leave some time for rest.

Lucy followed the advice. She stopped staying up late. After finishing school‑work, she took a 20‑minute walk or listened to soft music. Several weeks later, her condition improved greatly. She understood she didn’t need to push herself too hard. It was OK not to be perfect all the time.

 

（  ）13. What trouble did Lucy meet last term?

A. She had no homework to finish.    B. She met heavy study pressure.
