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, Exam success can be linked to how fast dopamine goes back to an even balance, according to new research from the University of Missouri, reported Yahoo.

The quicker you are able to go back to an even balance of dopamine, the quicker you can concentrate, helping you perform better on a test. Scientists found that, during a test, people who slowly got back to an even balance of dopamine scored 8 percent lower. That’ s the difference between a good mark and a bad mark. But don’ t fear, there is good news for every students. The study also found that the more practice you get, the less stressed you’ ll be. So, it turns out that practice really does make perfect. 26.

He found a room full of broken musical instruments（乐器） at each school. The schools said the instruments had been there for a long time. But Blackson also found that 1, 000 of the broken instruments could be repaired. In fact, many public schools in the United States don’ t have enough musical instruments because of budget cuts（预算削减）. Several students often have to share one instrument. Thus, Blackson started a project called “ Symphony（交响乐） for a Broken Orchestra（管弦乐队）” , aiming to repair broken instruments for students.To raise money, he reached out to David Lang, a Pulitzer Prize- winning US musician. The musician Lang came up with the idea of writing a symphony for the broken instruments. On Dec 3, 400 students and professional musicians held a concert. They performed Lang’ s Symphony for a Broken Orchestra, which shares its name with the repair project. People can now go online to see profiles（简介） of all of the broken instruments and donate money to “ adopt（领养）” one or more instruments. The project has raised over $237, 000 (1.5 million yuan) so far, the New York Times reported. In the fall semester of this year, Philadelphia students will receive the repaired instruments.
