15．While it is impossible to live completely free of stress，it is possible to prevent stress as well as reduce its effect when it can't be avoided．The US Department of Health and Human Services offers the following suggestions for ways to deal with stress．
•Try physical activity．
When you are nervous，angry or upset，try releasing （释放） the pressure through exercise or physical activity．（36）G．
•Take care of yourself．
You should make every effort to eat well and get enough rest．If you easily get angry and
cannot sleep well enough，or if you're not eating properly，it will be more likely that you will fall into situations of stress．（37）F．
•Make time for yourself．
（38）BDon't forget，play can be just as important as work．You need a break from your daily routine to just relax and have fun．Go window-shopping or work on a hobby．Allow yourself at least a half hour each day to do something you enjoy．
•（39）D．
Stress can result from disorganization （杂乱无章） and a feeling that"there's so much to do，and not enough time．"Trying to take care of everything at once can be too much for you and，as a result，you may not achieve anything．Instead，make a list of everything you have to do，then do one thing at a time．（40）CSet out to do the most important tasks first．
A．Bear in mind the most important task．
B．Schedule time for both work and play．
C．Check off each task as it is completed．
D．Make a list of the things you need to do．
E．For example，you could take your job as your hobby．
F．If stress repeatedly keeps you from sleeping，you should consult a doctor．
G．Running，walking，or playing tennis are just some of the activities you might try．
