ONCE a man was shipwrecked(遭遇海难) on a small, lonely island. There was no one living on this island, so he hoped that someone could come to save him. Every day he watched the sea, but no ships ever appeared. He thought he should do something to save himself. He built a little house out of wood. But one day, he arrived home to find his little house on fire. The smoke rose to the sky. He cried, “God, how could you do this to me?” Early the next day, however, a ship was coming to save him. “How did you know I was here?” the man asked these people. “We saw your smoke signal(信号),” they answered. It is easy to get discouraged when things are going badly. But we shouldn’t lose heart, because there is always hope in our lives. Remember, next time your little house is burning to the ground, it just may bring you better luck.

Nowadays,Chinese students all have heavy study tasks. They are busy with their study all the time. They always feel stressed. A recent survey by the Nightline Association found that 65% of students feel very stressed. Too much stress influences students' study. So a famous expert gives two main pieces of advice to reduce the stress of students.

At first,students should have a varied and healthy diet. Eating fresh vegetables and lots of fruit is really important. Juices are filled with vitamin C,such as orange or grape fruit juice. it is said that they are good for your immune system(免疫系统).What's more,healthy diet can help you reduce the study stress. Don't eat some snacks in the break between classes.

Then,doing sports at least once a week is the best way to reduce stress. It helps your body feel well. Even the daily walk of 30 minutes can help reduce stress levels and it's even better than doing sports intensively. Even if you don't feel like it at the time,you will feel the benefits afterwards. Joining a sports club could also help with stress. You can communicate with other students freely during the time,and the atmosphere(气氛)there will help you improve your mood.
