Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
Mr. Faugel was convinced that students’ nervousness had affected their scores; to reduce the anxiety of these students who had already been tested, he gave 22 of them a beta blocker before readministration of the test. Their scores improved significantly. The other 8 students (who did not receive the beta blockers) improved only slightly. Second-time test-takers nationwide had average improvements which were similar to those in Faugel's non-beta blocker group.
Beta blockers are prescription drugs which have been around for 25 years. These medications, which interfere with the effects of adrenalin, have been used for heart conditions and for minor stress such as stage fright. Now they are used for test anxiety. These drugs seem to help test-takers who have low scores because of test fright, but not those who do not know the material. Since there can be side effects from these beta blockers, physicians are not ready to prescribe them routinely for all test-takers.
Beta blockers work on some physical and emotional symptoms because they ________.
A. interfere with the side effects of adrenalin
B. primarily change human thought processes
C. produce side effects worse than the symptoms
D. fool a person into a healthier stance
Đáp án A

Câu 2 đoạn 2: “These medications, which interfere with the effects of adrenalin, have been used for heart conditions and for minor stress such as stage fright.”
(Loại thuốc này, với cơ chế can thiệp vào tác động của andrenalin, được sử dụng để kiểm soát nhịp tim và những nỗi căng thẳng nhẹ như cảm giác sợ sân khấu.)
Như vậy có thể thấy, thuốc có tác dụng với triệu chứng về thể chất cũng như tâm lí là do can thiệp vào tác động của andrenalin. Các đáp án còn lại không được đề cập rõ ràng trong bài
