Explaining stress management to an audience, the lecturer raised a glass of water and asked “How heavy is this glass of water?” Answer called out ranged from 20g to 500g.

The lecturer replied, “The absolute weight doesn’t matter. It depends on how long you try to hold it. If I hold it for a minute, that’s not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I’ll have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you’ll have to call an ambulance. In each case, it’s the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes.”

He continued, “And that’s the way it is with stress management. If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, as the burden becomes increasingly heavy, we won’t be able to carry on.”

Here are 5 simple ways to increase your peace of mind:

【1】__________________________________________.

Pushing a daunting task back is like holding a glass of water in an outstretched arm. At first nothing happens, but if you do it for hours or even days, you will soon feel the stress. Do it first and enjoy increased productivity and peace of mind for the rest of the day.

【2】__________________________________________.

You make plans to go outside with friends. But at the last minute, it starts raining. What’s your reaction? Some people feel upset and angry, and find the nearest person and start complaining. But that’s not going to accomplish anything. The rain doesn’t care. What I do in such a situation is go for a quick walk in the park, or just lie in bed reading a good book, listening to the rain beating on my window.

【3】_________________________________________.

I used to rarely dance, because I was worried of what others would think. Then, one day, I decided that enough was enough. So the next time I went out with my friends, I just danced like nobody was watching. And the funny thing was --- nobody cared.

【4】_________________________________________.

Just list 3 simple things about any part of your life that you love. Like “3 simple things I love about the room I’m in right now”, or “3simple things I love about this week”, or anything else.

This is useful if you’re ever bored while stuck in traffic, or waiting in the grocery store checkout lane.

【5】________________________________________.

Do it when you are under great stress, focusing only on that breath and nothing else in the whole world. This technique sounds extremely simple, but you won’t believe how much it can immediately increase your peace of mind.

C. with peace; make an answer D. in peace; respond

【题目】Babies are born yogis. Once we were all able to pull our toes up by our ears and laugh about it. Then we aged, got injured, and began carrying stress in our shoulders and back. In short, we lost our balance.

Yoga (瑜伽) is an ancient practice that helps create a sense of union in body, mind, and spirit. It brings us balance. I was seriously out of balance when I started practicing yoga in 1999. I had plantar fascitis (足底筋膜炎) in both feet, and my doctor had warned me against all the things I loved to do: walking, hiking, and playing tennis. I was desperate for exercise. Yoga became my salvation (拯救) and even enhanced my other fitness activities. I practice yoga at least twice a week, but I consider yoga to be part of my daily life because after a while you no longer just practice yoga—you love it.

Yoga becomes part of your physical life. Your body grows stronger, more toned, and more flexible as you move from one pose to the other. I spent a week in Mexico at a yoga retreat (静修), and it was the first vacation on which I lost weight. “Rather than building muscle, yoga builds muscle tone,” says Shakta Kaur Khalsa, author of the K. I. S. S. Guide to Yoga. “Because yoga helps maintain a balanced metabolism (新陈代谢), it also helps to regulate weight. Additionally, yoga stretches muscles lengthwise, causing fat to be removed around the cells.” I do yoga poses throughout the day. After hours at my computer, I stretch my stiff shoulders and arms. When I need a boost of energy, I do energizing poses. When I am feeling exhausted at the end of the day, I do restorative poses.

Yoga becomes part of your mental life. Yoga teaches you to focus on breathing while you hold the poses. This attention to breath is calming; it dissolves stress and anxiety. I use yogic breathing on the tennis courts, in the dentist’s chair, and in traffic jams. You should always leave a yoga practice feeling energized, not tired. If you feel tired after yoga, it means you spent the time “fighting” yourself, trying to force yourself into poses. In yoga, you “surrender” to the pose by letting go of the tension.

Yoga becomes part of your spiritual life. Yoga is practiced by people from all religions; it is not restricted to any religious group. Yoga teaches “right” living in how we deal with ourselves and others. As I work on a difficult pose, I learn patience, forgiveness, and the value of gentleness. Yoga advocates proper eating, but you don’t have to be a vegetarian to practice yoga.

【2】What would be the best title for this passage?
