Stress is a 24 part of everyday life and there is no way to 25 it. In fact, it is not the bad thing that it is often supposed to be. A 26 amount of stress is important to provide motivation and give 27 to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control 28 it can lead to poor performance and 29 health.
The amount of stress a person can bear 30 very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such 31 are obviously chief material for managerial.(管理的) responsibilities. Other people lose heart at first 32 of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in 33 form , we react both physically and mentally. In fact we make a choice between “34 and fight”. And in more ancient days the choices made the 35 between life and death. The crisis we meet today are 36 to be so extreme, but however little the stress is, it requires the same response. It is when such a reaction 37 a long time, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes 38 . Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart disease have established links with stress. 39 we cannot remove stress from our lives, we need to find ways to deal with it.
So what do you think of 40 ? What is your way to deal with it?
