Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best
answer to each of the following questions from 23 to 30.
Butterflies in the Stomach: The Science Behind the Feeling
A young actress is about to step onto the stage. As she waits behind the curtain, she feels nervous. She
whispers to her friend, "I’ve got butterflies in my stomach." But what does this phrase really mean? How
do butterflies get into her stomach?
The sensation of butterflies is caused by chemicals produced by the body in stressful situations. One of
these chemicals is cortisol. This chemical plays a useful role in daily life. In the morning, it helps the
body wake up and get ready for the day. It also helps the body respond well to exercise. However, when
the body is under stress, extra cortisol affects the stomach.
For some people, this stress hormone slows down the stomach, causing a light, fluttery feeling. For
others, cortisol speeds up the stomach’s activity, making them feel sick. This is why some people lose
their appetite or feel stomach pain when they are nervous.
So, how can you get rid of these butterflies? The best way is to relax. Laughing or talking to someone
about your worries can help. Taking deep breaths and focusing on positive thoughts can also reduce
stress. In the actress’s case, stepping onto the stage and starting her performance will likely make the
butterflies disappear.
