But there might be a way to make the subject less stressful.For people who are worried about math, posture (姿势) makes a big difference. Erik Peper from San Francisco State University told the Daily Mail. Thats right-sitting up straight can help you do better on math exams.Scientists tested 125 college students. They asked them to do a simple math test while sitting in a slumped-over (趴倒的) position, or sitting up straight. After the test, 56 percent of students said the exam was easier to do if they were sitting up straight.Slumping over is a defensive posture. It can trigger (激发) negative (消极的) memories in the body and brain. This can stop you from thinking clearly, Peper said.Students who were not nervous about taking the math exam did not necessarily benefit from better posture. But they did find that doing math in a slumped-over position was more difficult, Science Daily reported.Good posture isnt just helpful for taking math exams. Athletes, musicians and public speakers can all benefit from better postures. When you feel stressed out, you can also try to sit up straight or stand tall. It can help you feel more positive and do better.（1）What posture can make people feel less stressed during math exams? A . Lying on your back.B . Putting your head on your desk.C . Sitting up straight.D . Raising one hand.（2）What did the 125 college students do while they were taking the exam? A . Doing sit-ups.B . Sitting in different postures.C . Thinking carefully.D . Counting numbers.（3）The fourth paragraph is written to explain _. A . why slumping over makes tests harder to doB . why slumping over is bad for ones body and brainC . why people want to slump over during examsD . why people are nervous during math exams（4）What can we learn from the story? A . Sitting up straight can trigger negative memories.B . Slumping over can make people think clearly.C . Good posture is only helpful for taking all kinds of exams.D .
