Question

As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation.   5   you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to    6     down. But relaxation is 7 for a healthy mind and body.

Stress is a 8 part of everyday life and there is no way to 9 it. In fact, it is not the bad thing that it is often supposed to be. A 10 amount of stress is important to provide motivation and give    11    to life.

It is only when the stress gets out of control 12 it can lead to poor performance and  13 health.

The amount of stress a person can bear 14 very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such 15 are obviously chief material for managerial responsibilities. Others lose heart at first 16 of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in 17 form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make a choice between 18 and fight. And in more ancient days the choices made the 19 between life and death. The crises (危機(jī))we meet today are 20 to be so extreme, but however little the stress is, it requires the same response. It is when such a reaction 21 long through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes 22 Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart diseases have 23 links with stress. 24 we cannot remove stress from our lives we need to find ways to deal with it. It would be unwise to do so even if we could.

So what do you think of stress? What is your way to deal with it?
