心跳加速才能考出好成绩?

And the pulses of those who did not fare as well - they scored an average of 53 per cent - their rate only went up slightly, from 78.5 to 82.4.
而那些脉搏也没有加快的学生——平均取得的成绩为53%——他们的心率只升高了一点，从78.5升到82.4。

But the study, which is due to appear in the Educational Research journal, does not recommend that those taking exams use stimulants to boost their heart rate.
但是《教育研究》杂志上的研究并不推崇那些考试时使用兴奋剂来增强心率。

Over the past decade there has been an increase in pupils taking legal drugs, such as Ritalin, to help focus their mind and increase their alertness.
过去十年里，越来越多的学生使用如利他林这些合法药物来帮助学生集中注意力，提高警觉性。

Whereas Ritalin is usually handed out to children who have attention deficit disorder, another one - Provigil - was originally pushed out by pharmacists to combat sleeping disorders.
然而，利他林通常用来治疗患有注意力缺损症的儿童，而另一种——Provigi——起初药剂师是用来对抗睡眠障碍的。

In shocking figures, a 2009 poll found that 10 per cent of Cambridge University students admitted to using legal stimulants.
2009年的民意调查显示一个惊人的数据显示，剑桥大学10%学生成人服用过合法兴奋剂。

Mrs Chamberlain added: 'We now need to explore where it is that tipping point is, between the good stress which students find motivating and helps them feel alert and the stress that is distracting them from thinking clearly during the exam.'
Mrs Chamberlain还说：“现在我们需要探索出激发学生兴趣帮助他们提高警觉的有益压力和考试时分散学生清楚思考的压力之际的临界点。”
