Examination Stress

Every year as examinations time approaches,the question of student examination stress is raised in the press,on TV programes,and by students themselves.This problem applies particularly to year 12 students(in Australia,anyway).
In many cases ,this is a once-only opportunity to gain entrance to a university and a chosen career.Once this hurdle is jumped-successfully-the same pressure does not apply to examinations at university.The stress arises mainly because the number of the university place is limited.And students are chosen on the level of their marks.So the examination becomes a competition.Worry about how they will be able to pay for their studies, or repay the goverment afterwards, also adds to the stress.

Students who have to developed a proper attitude to learning,memory and study,and learned good techniques and habits.
Should not have to worry about stress.Stress is essential for effictive study and memory.But,it is excess stress--anxiety,worry,fear of failure,ect--which creates a level of stress high enough to cause loss of memory and memory blocks in examinations.This is what students fear that they will not remember what they have learned .Of cause,if they haven't learned the work in the first place,stress or no stress will make no difference.

Naturally,all of us have moments of self-doubt,but it is when self-doubt becomes momentary that is a problem.
参考译文
考试压力
每年考试时间临近的时候，都有人提出关于学生考试压力的问题。这些问题来自新闻舆论、电视节目以及学生自己。这一问题在12年纪的学生身上显得尤为突出（总之在偶大利亚是这样）。许多情况下，这是可以进入某个大学和从事某一职业的唯一机会。一旦越过这个坎，大学里的考试就再也不会遇到这样的压力了。压力产生的原因主要在于，大学数量有限且根据分数选拔学生，于是考试变成了竞赛。另外，担心自己如何才能支付学习费用或以后如何偿还政府也加重了这种压力。

学生如果已经养成对于学习、记忆与研究的正确态度，掌握了良好的技巧并养成了良好的习惯，就不必为压力而担心。压力对于有效的学习和记忆是不可或缺的，就不必为过度的压力而担心。压力对于有效的学习和记忆是不可或缺的，但过度的压力，如焦虑、苦恼、对失败的恐惧等会造成记忆力减退以及考试中记忆的丧失。学生害怕自己在考试中想不起来已经学过的内容。当然，如果他们根本就没有学过这些内容，那么有压力与没压力就没有什么区别了。

当然，我们每一个人都有自我怀疑的时刻，但如果是持续性地缺少自信，才成问题。
