It is probably exams. Exams can put us under a lot of pressure. But some students do better under pressure, while others do not. So, why do some students perform better under stress?It all comes down to dopamine(多马胺). Dopamine is a chemical in our body that sends signals(信号) in the brain. It has many important roles: affecting memory, attention and how we learn. Our brains work best when there is a balance of dopamine-not too much or too little.Our brains control dopamine in two ways. It either takes out dopamine quickly, or gradually(逐渐). Exam success can be linked(链接) to how fast dopamine goes back to an even balance, according to new research from the University of Missouri, reported Yahoo.Scientists found that, during a test, if people got back slowly to an even balance of dopamine, they would score 8 percent lower. Thats the difference between a good mark and a bad mark.But dont fear, there is good news for every student. The study also found that the more practice you get, the less stressed youll be.So, it turns out that practice really does make perfect. （1）Dopamine is a chemical in our body that _.

However, for many years, Americans have expressed fear that the industry is in danger.Matthew Burnett knows this all too well. The American businessman started a watch company in 2007. At first, he had overseas（海外的） manufacturers make all his products. As a result, Burnett often faced shipping delays（延误）, a lack（缺乏） of quality control, and time zone problems. Later, he developed into leather goods. Still, he tried to find factories in the country to make the wallets, belts, and other products of his new brand. And he was not alone. Many American businessmen found it easier to go out of the country for manufacturing. There was no central marketplace for the industry.So, Matthew Burnett, and his business partner Tanya Menendez, created one. They called it Makers Row. Since 2012, the online marketplace has been connecting businessmen with American manufacturers.Matthew Burnett explains.

We used to produce 97 percent of the goods that we consume here in the United States, today its less than three percent. So it makes it very challenging to find sometimes made in America products, but thats the situation were trying to change, by bringing these brands back home to produce.Makers Row helps brands and businesses find and organize their supply chains（供应链）in the country.

And co-founder Tanya Menendez says Makers Row offers classes and training. We have an online course. Theyre designed for people with busy lifestyles or those who may start off working 9-to-5. Today, the Makers Row website has 80,000 registered users.The BCG company in Boston advises businesses around the world. It estimates（估计） the average cost to manufacture goods in the U.S. is only five-percent higher than in China. And the company predicts（预计） that by 2018 the cost difference will narrow further, to as little as two percent higher. Makers Row and other similar efforts could play a big part in making that prediction come true.（1）What is true about the situation of manufacturing in the U.S.? A . It plays an unimportant part in the country.B . Its important and the top of the world.C . Its important in the country but not as good as before.D . Few people in the U.S. care about this industry.（2）According to Burnett, what problems did he face when he found overseas manufacturers? A .
