If you are like a lot of married women,you might find yourself taking on most of the housework. A study by the University of Michigan found that having a husband creates an extra seven hours of housework a week. No wonder you are feeling tired or stressed. You might think it is impossible to get your husband to pitch in around the house,but there are some steps you can try to save your health,and perhaps even your marriage.
. Ask your husband for help. Most men truly want to make their wives happy. By asking for help in a loving and respectful way,it is likely that your husband will be happy to agree. Ask him to dry the dishes when you wash.
. Thank your husband for his help. While you might think he ought to do it without being reminded or thanked,men are simply wired differently and may not realize what all there is to do and how much his help means to you. When he does something with or without being asked,no matter how small,smile sweetly and let him know how much you appreciate it.
. Lower your expectations. If he doesn’t load the dishwasher the way you do,let it go. As long as the job is getting done and nothing or nobody is harmed,what's the big deal if it is not perfect or “your way”？
. Make it fun. Find chores that you can do together,and then add some playfulness. Start a little water fight while doing the dishes,or get him to chase you around the yard while you are pulling weeds.

Some of the factors which make our lifestyle unhealthy are as follows：
Too much junk food is being put into our hands especially in children's hands. Junk food which is full of fat increases blood cholesterol(胆固醇) levels and increases the risk of heart disease and some cancers.
Life is full of stress. Modern life is full of trouble,deadlines. Work can be stressful,whether in an office,a factory,or a school. For many people,stress is everywhere and it has become a way of life.
Western culture is generally dependent on medical drugs and people don't know that medical drugs’ side effects are dangerous to their health. In the world today,many people seem to think that they just want medicines and drugs to solve their health problems;they believe they can always ask medicine for help. But what they do not know is that these medications may have potential adverse reactions (潜在的不良反应) . Some drugs are harmful to your liver and do crazy things to your health;perhaps you have those little poisons without considering what they are doing to your body.
Exposure to pollution and toxic wastes such as poisonous agents from the household items does harm to your health. Our bodies are absorbing (吸收) the harmful chemicals surrounding the environment today. It is thus imperative that we clean up our living environment as much as possible. Those regular detergents,soaps,shampoos,toothpastes and perfumes that we use today contain many chemicals which are toxic to our bodies,some even carcinogenic.
Less exercise. Exercise always improves our health level. There is no doubt about it. But we don’t exercise enough. We are too busy.
1. In the world today,many people depend on medical drugs,why?
2. What's the Chinese meaning of the underlined word household in the fifth passage?
3. How many factors make our lifestyle unhealthy?
4. What is the article about?
