本文是一篇说明文。鲜艳的颜色可以减轻人们的压力，所以在处理困难的问题时，要选择一个颜色鲜艳的房间。
【详解】第一处：考查形容词。每当考试临近的时候，感到焦虑是正常的。feel是系动词，后面要加形容词。故anxiously改为anxious。
第二处：考查非谓语动词。当然，你很可能在大日子之前在你的房间里努力学习。study与主语之间是主动关系，所以应该用现在分词短语做状语。故study改为studying。 第三处：考查固定搭配。as a matter of fact是固定搭配，意思是“事实上”。故the改为a。 第四处：考查动词语态。人们发现，像蓝色或浅绿色这样的淡色会让人放松和平静。在这个句子中it为形式主语，真正的主语是that引导的从句，这件事被发现，所以与find之间是被动关系。故在found前加been。
第五处：考查形容词。relaxing令人放松的，relaxed人感到放松的。此处是表示使人们感到放松，故relaxing改为relaxed。
第六处：考查连词。结果，我们的大脑变得懒惰和不活跃，越来越不愿意接受大量的信息。前后两个句子之间是并列关系，而不是转折关系。故but改为and。
第七处：考查名词的数。相反，鲜艳的颜色可以帮助我们轻松地专注于一项任务，有效地解决问题。鲜艳的颜色不只一种，color1 是可数名词，所以应该用复数。故color1 改为color1 s。
第八处：考查代词。那是因为他们可以通过使我们兴奋来减轻我们的压力。此处表示使我
们振奋，故them改为us。
第九处：考查时态。所以下次当你要处理一个困难的任务时，一定要选择一个颜色鲜艳的房间。next time引导了一个时间状语从句，用一般现在时表示将来，故had改为have。 第十处：考查介词。所以下次当你要处理一个困难的任务时，一定要选择一个颜色鲜艳的房间。make sure后面加句子，make sure of后面加名词性的内容。此处后面为句子，故of去掉。
【点睛】本题第五处错误考查了以-ing和-ed结尾的形容词的用法。-ing结尾的形容词用于说明事物，表示事物的性质或特征，译为“令人……的”；-ed结尾的形容词用于形容人，译为“人感到……的”。常用的词有：
exciting 令人兴奋的 excited感到兴奋的 surprising令人惊讶的 surprised感到惊讶的 boring 令人厌烦的 bored 感到厌烦的 frightening令人害怕的 frightened感到害怕的 embarrassing令人尴尬的 embarrassed感到尴尬的
