While some experts might argue, researcher sat Stanford School of Medicine agree that playing certain types of music such as classical may help students engage in the source material.

还有些专家另有方法，斯坦福大学医学院的研究人员认为，播放某些类型的音乐，如古典音乐，可能有助于学生进入学习状态。

While some of us prefer complete silence, an uplifting piece of non-distracting music (without lyrics) may improve mood and increase the chances of information retention.

虽然我们有些同学更喜欢安静的环境，一段振奋人心的纯音乐（没有歌词）可以改善情绪，加深知识的记忆。

In active learning studies, some scholars have suggested that dopamine is the brain's save button, so some light, uplifting music, a favorite warm drink, and a box of cookies could also help us retain knowledge, as the brain, while in its reward mode, is more receptive to whatever stimuli is present, including that study material.

在主动学习研究中，一些学者认为多巴胺是启动大脑记忆的按钮，所以灯光，悦耳的音乐，喜爱的热饮，或者一盒曲奇饼干都能帮助我们记住知识，因为大脑在这种奖励机制的模式下，会接受任何刺激，包括学习知识的刺激。

Also science has shown us that, as ridiculous as it may seem, striking a power pose before entering the exam room may be to our benefit.

而且科学表明，虽说听起来有些可笑，进考场前做一个自信的姿势对于考试是有益的。

So think Superman or Wonder Woman, put your hands on your hips, move your legs apart, chest expanded, deep breath, and say something awe-inspiring （使人敬畏的；令人惊叹的）. 想想超人和神奇女侠，把手放在屁股上，分开双腿，深呼吸，说点鼓励的话。

You may want to do this in private, like in the bathroom before a test, but this is completely your own choice.

或许你想私下做做这些事情，比如考试前在厕所里，这些都由自己来决定。

Although you may feel stupid, and will probably look a bit odd, this posturing will reduce the stress hormone cortisol and increase testosterone, making you scientifically stronger and better prepared for that test.

虽说这感觉有点蠢，看起来也十分古怪，这种姿势会减少压力荷尔蒙皮质醇，增加睾酮，从科学上说，你会更加强大，更好地应对考试。

So remember take breaks, sleep, exercise, talk about your material with study pals, strike a pose, and you'll be as good as ready for that test.

综上所述，记得休息，睡觉，锻炼，和伙伴谈论学习，摆个姿势，这样你就可以为考试做好充足准备。
