Everyone, from homeless people to billionaires, is likely to be influenced by stress; there’s simply no way to avoid it.  36  Here are five powerful tips for ways to kill stress in almost any situation.

Eat Healthier

Though a lot of stress is psychological, there are also plenty of physical factors that lead to this natural human response to noticed danger. In order to relieve stress, make sure you’re treating your body right. A big part of this is eating healthier.  37  Anyway, adopting an alkaline(碱性的) diet instead of an acidic(酸性的) one is recommended.

Wake Up Earlier

  38  However, waking up 15 or 20 minutes earlier each morning may have more benefits than sleeping in. By giving yourself some extra time, you won’t feel quite rushed in the morning, which leads to better preparation and more confidence.

  39 

Since you are never going to remove 100 percent of the stress in your life, one of the best things you can do is let it be one of your motivations. This is what stress is designed to do, after all. The psychological and physical reactions brought on by stress are supposed to heighten our senses and empower us to fight off a threat.

Watch a Funny Video

Here is a simple and practical tip: watch a funny video on YouTube. Research shows that seeing something amusing activates the part of the brain that produces calm physiological(生理的) responses. This can lead to less anxiety and more happiness.

Take Walk Outside

Whenever possible, make sure you take your walk outdoors.  40  It can improve energy levels and memory by as much as 20 percent.

A.A number of studies show that spending time in the open is a great way to relieve stress.

B.Diet and relaxation are two important keys to good health.

C.There are no magic“anti-stress”foods.

D.However, there are ways to reduce the amount of stress you suffer from.

E.Keep Positive Relationships

F.Let Stress Motivate You

G.It is certainly true that the more sleep you get, the less stressed you’ll be.

 “Father, I don’t like to go to school,” said Harry Williams one morning. “I wish you    let me stay at home. Charles Parker’s father doesn’t make him go to school.”

Mr. Williams took his little boy      the hand, and said kindly to him, “Come, my son. I want to     you something in the garden.”

    Harry walked into the garden with his father, who led him along     they came to a bed in which peas were growing. Not a weed was to be     about their roots.

“See how beautifully these peas are     , my son,” said Mr. Williams. “How clean and healthy the vines(藤) look. We shall have a good     . Now let me show you the vines in Mr. Parker’s garden.”

“Because they have been left to grow as they     .  I suppose Mr. Parker just planted them, and never took any care of them      ”

“Yes. A garden will soon be overrun with weeds     it is not taken good care of,” Mr. Williams     , “and so it is with the human garden. Children’s minds are like garden beds.

A Little Coaching (指导)

I always felt nervous at the running race. I was too thin to be an athlete. So when our class needed a    21     in the two mile race around the lake, I hoped nobody would notice me.

I hid under a    22    when our teacher Bronto called the names of the runners. I got more nervous when I heard he called, “Noah! Where’s Noah? He’s in this race!”

He saw me under the tree and shouted, “Noah, we    23    a boy to run the two mile race.” He pushed me to the starting line(线). I pleaded(恳求) with him. “I don’t know the way around the lake!”

“It’s not a problem. Just    24    Craig and you’ll know the way.” Bronto smiled. Craig was the fastest runner in our class. Then Bronto said, “For the last hundred meters, just throw your head back and run.”

I stood next to Craig and trembled(颤抖). Then I heard the gun and sixteen of us started to run. I ran closely behind Craig.

But gradually(逐步地), the distance(距离) between Craig and me became wider.

It was    25   . I felt very tired. My energy was spent. I was about to give up. But then I looked ahead(向前) and    26     only three boys were in front of me. The crowd was shouting, but I could hear Bronto shouting, “Run!”

I threw my head back and told my legs to go. I never looked ahead and I never looked back for those last hundred meters. I felt    27    . Nobody was telling me what I was, or what I wasn’t. My legs were running a race against my brain and I was winning!

I didn’t know when I crossed the finish line. Bronto caught me and shouted, “You flew! You flew, man!     28   You passed two boys!”

However, the best prize that I got was    29   . That year I discovered I could do a lot of things if I believe myself and put my energy into them.

I never got to say    30   to Bronto right after the race. But later, I saw him over the lake. He was coaching another kid. I had no doubt that the kid was also going to win.

Are you facing a situation  61  makes you feel upset? To be honest, I am.

I usually start the morning by checking the social networking website Facebook, only  62   (see) that I’ve already fallen behind. A workmate has written a new book. Two of my  63  (hero) have completed a big project. One of my old college friends has posted a video for an online program she   64  (take) at the moment. She looks successful, shiny and charming  65  I’m still in bed, bleary-eyed.

Am I really falling behind? Did these people post any of these things to make me feel bad?

The answer is no. It’s  66  (terrible) easy to see social media as a reminder of all the things I’m not doing and dreams I’m not fulfilling. It is not a social problem 67 a comparison problem. All these years I’ve learned one thing：Don’t compare your insides with someone else’s outsides. You have no idea  68  it took for other people to get where they are. Don’t act like it was effortless or pure luck. It’s much  69  (easy) to look at someone “up there” and be curious  70  what they have than to be happy for them and make yours better.

It happened many years ago, and I was in high school then. Being a student from a 36   family, I had to work on weekends to make some extra money that my family couldn’t really 37    to give me, and one day after work I lost my wallet.

My old car 38  gas in the back. I paid for the gas and then put my wallet on the bumper(保险杠)，and drove off. I hadn’t even had time to 39  it when my phone rang and an old man asked me  40  I had lost my wallet. I checked the  41  of my jacket and to my horror, I had. He asked me to tell him how much money was 42   it, and I told him. He then told me where to  43  my wallet.

As I drove into his driveway, I  44  that his car was for the  45  . I was thinking that there was no way this man could 46   get out of hid car and get my wallet off the 47 . He had to pull over, 48  in his wheelchair, lower the lift, and then pick it up, I was  49  .

   I knocked on the 50   and he told me to come in. I thanked him like 10 times for 51    my wallet. While I didn’t want to make him angry by offering him 52 , I really felt like offering something. So I asked him if there was anything I could do to repay his 53 , and he said, “Just pass  54  on.” I really wanted to thank him, so I 55   promised I would.
