Read the passage and answer questions 38 to 41 :

“Stress”

All people have some stress in their lives. A little stress makes life interesting, and keeps you on your toes. However, too much stress can be unhealthy. You may find your life becoming stressful whenever there are changes in your environment, in your relationships, or in the demands you put on yourself.

Stress can also be caused by good things in your life, such as getting a new job, moving to a new place, or getting married.

How can you tell when your life is getting too “stressful”? You will probably find yourself always feeling rushed, as though you must hurry everywhere you go. There is never enough time to do everyting that you need to do. You may find yourself walking, talking, and eating more quickly than usual.

Besides causing emotional problems, stress can also cause real physical problems. If you have too much stress in your life, you may suffer from stomach problems, headaches or neck and shoulder pain.

Prevention is the best way to deal with stress. First of all, be organized- there is nothing so stressful as a disorganized life. Put your life and your surroundings (your home, apartment or desk at work or school) in order. Don’t procrastinate. Stop putting things off. Do what needs to be done today. On the other hand, don’t always feel that you have to do everyting right now. Learn to say “no” to activities and commitments that will only add more stress to your life. Remember that you are only human, and that you can only do one thing at a time.

Learn to relax. Slow down. Take a break or a walk when you feel yourself getting stressed. Find a hobby that you enjoy. Reading, listening to music or creating something with your hands are all great ways to bring some peace to a hectic life. Learn to laugh at yourself and your life. Try to look on the bright side of life. Even when things seem pretty dark and stressful, there is usually a place for some humor and a smile.
