如图，在2008年的北京高考中，一名男生在高考开始半小时后因精神过度紧张而离开考场。专家指出，这是考前紧张综合症的典型症状。问题：请运用有关哲学道理分析应该如何认识精神的作用。
人能够能动地改造世界，意识对于人体生理活动具有调节和控制作用。高昂的精神，可以使人向上，使人奋进;萎靡的精神，则会使人悲观、消沉、丧失斗志。我们应该以积极、向上、平和的精神状态面对高考，如果过于紧张、压力过大，将会像以上考生错失良机。
本题考查对意识能动性即主观能动性的理解。人的主观能动性表现在三个方面，其中之一就是精神状态对人的影响。精神状态好会起到奋进的作用，精神状态差会起到阻碍的作用。因此，人们应使自己保持正确的精神状态。
