Anna Whitney, a sophomore (大学二年级学生) at Colorado State University, first had a problem taking tests when she began college. “I was always　　1prepared for my tests. Sometimes I studied for weeks before test. Yet I would go in to take the test, only to find I would not answer the questions　　2　 . I would blank out because of nervousness and fear. I couldn't think of the answers. My　　3grades on the tests did not show what I knew to the teacher.”Another student in microbiology had　　4experiences. He said,“My first chemistry test was very difficult. Then, on the second test, I sat down to take it, and I was so nervous that I was　　5　 . My hands were moving up and down so　　6that it was hard to hold my pencil. I knew the material and I knew the answers. Yet I couldn't　　7write them down!”

These two young students were　　8something called test anxiety (考试焦虑)。Because a student worries and is anxious about a test, his or her　　9does not work as well as it usually does. The student cannot write or think　　10because of the extreme tension and nervousness. Although poor grades are often a　　11of poor study habits, sometimes test anxiety causes the low grades. Recently, test anxiety has been as a real problem, not just an　　12or a false explanation of lazy students.

Special university counseling(指导) courses try to help students. In these courses, counselors try to help students by teaching them　　13to manage test anxiety. At some universities, students take tests to　　14their tension. These courses teach students how to relax their bodies. Students are trained to become　　15in very tense situations. By controlling their nervousness, they can let their minds　　16at ease (安心).　　17information then comes out without difficulty on a test.

An　　18at the University of California explains,“With almost all students, relaxation and　　19stress are felt after taking our program. Most of them experience better control　　20their tests. Almost all have some improvement.”
