Features: In the second year of the 21st century—2002, China's college entrance examination had made substantial progress in reforming its assessment of candidates' comprehensive abilities. Senior high school students participated in the 3+X exam for the first time. This was undoubtedly significant for the assessment and cultivation of students' qualities. Since it was the first time, the candidates' performance in the comprehensive exam was not ideal, and their lack of adaptation was evident. To adapt to this comprehensive exam, the fundamental requirement is to improve candidates' comprehensive abilities. However, the various situations candidates faced in the 3+X comprehensive exam revealed how tense they were when facing the exam and changes. Wang Yi looked at the questions on the exam paper and found them so familiar, but because of the tension, he couldn't recall the calculation formulas. After reminding himself repeatedly not to be nervous and to relax for half an hour, he finally remembered the forgotten formulas. Li Huan, however, was not as lucky as Wang Yi. She was sitting at her desk, her palms sweating profusely. Sweat was dripping onto her clothes, and she was even afraid of wasting time wiping it away. By the time the exam was over and she checked the answers, she had even made mistakes on problems she had solved several times before, getting everything wrong. It's no surprise that her performance was unsatisfactory.
