Do you have sleeping problems? Is it hard for you to remember or pay attention in class? Do you easily get angry? If your answer is yes, you may be under stress.

Stress is a normal physical response (反应) to things that make people feel worried. In China, 70 percent of the 2,000 students about to take the college or high school entrance examination are under high stress, according to a recent survey by Wuhan University of Hubei province.

Sometimes stress is good for people. It pushes people to do their best, like while getting ready before a big competition or exam. However, too much or long-term stress makes people feel a stress overload (负荷过多), and affects people’s health.

When you feel stressed, there are some ways you can deal with (处理) it. Learning to solve small problems in everyday life is helpful. It can help build confidence to move on to life’s bigger ones. Try saying positive things to yourself, like “I will do the best that I can,” or “I can manage this if I take one step at a time.” That encourages you to work toward your goal. It is also important to relax sometimes.

But if you are under high stress and can’t handle it by yourself, it is also good to ask parents or friends for help. Everyone has stress. Don’t be too shy to tell others that you are having a hard time. They may comfort you or give you some useful advice. You may feel better just from sharing your problems with them.

1.You may be under stress if you are in the following situation EXCEPT___.

A. you get angry easily

B. you can’t get up in the morning.

C. you can’t pay attention in class.

2.Who did a survey about stress in middle school students recently?

A. Wuhan University

B. Hubei University

C. Wuhan Technology University

3.In what way is stress good for people?

A. it can keep people wake at night.

B. it makes people do well in exams.

C. it pushes people to do their best.

4.How many ways of dealing with stress are discussed in the passage?

A.2 B. 3 C.4

5.Why should we ask parents or friends for help if we are under high stress?

A. because they can solve our problems.

B. because they must give us useful advice.

C. because sharing our problems can make us feel better.
