Five tips to deal with stress

Stress, the biggest enemy of the modern world! It kidnaps our peace of mind, tortures our evenings, when we return home from work and murders those beautiful moments. But like all enemies, this enemy can also be got rid of!

Put your body in motion.

Moving from the chair to the couch while watching TV is not being physically active! Physical activity is one of the most important ways to keep stress away by clearing your head and lifting your spirits. Physical activity also increases endorphin levels—the natural “feel-good” chemicals.

Laugh

Some say that laughter is the best medicine—well, in many cases, it is! Did you know that it takes 15 facial muscles to laugh? Lots of laughing can make you feel good—and, that good feeling can stay with you even after the laughter stops. So , head off stress with regular doses of laughter by watching a funny movie or cartoons, reading a joke book, or even make up your own riddles…laughter can make you feel like a new person!

Everyone has those days when they do something really silly or stupid. Instead of getting upset with yourself, laugh out loud! No one’s perfect! Life should be about having fun. So , lighten up!

Have fun with friends.

Being with people you like is always a good way to get rid your stress. Get a group together to go

to the movies, shoot some hoops, or play a board game—or just hang out and talk. Friends can help

you work through your problems and let you see the brighter side of things.

Spill （发泄）to someone you trust.

Instead of keeping your feelings bottled up inside, talk to someone you trust or respect about what’s

Bothering you. It could be a friend , a parent, someone in your family, or a teacher. Talking out

your problems and seeing them a different view might help you figure out ways to deal with them.

Just remember, you don’t have to go it alone!

Lend a hand.

Get involve in an activity that helps others. It’s almost impossible to feel stressed out when you’re helping someone else. It’s also a great way to find out about yourself and the special qualities you never knew you had! Signing up for a service project is a good idea, but helping others is as easy as saying hello, holding a door, or volunteering to keep a neighbor’s pet. The feeling you will get from helping others is greater than you can imagine!

Remember , you’re not alone—everyone has stresses in their lives…it’s up to you to choose how to deal with them.

The evidence for harmony may not be obvious in some families. But it seems that four out of five young people now get on with their parents, which is the opposite of the popularly-held image （形象）of unhappy teenagers locked in their room after endless family quarrels.

An important new study into teenage attitudes surprisingly shows that their family life is more harmonious than it has ever been in the past. “We were surprised by just how positive today’s young people seem to be about their families,” said one member of the research team. “They’re expected to be rebellious（叛逆的）and selfish .but actually they have other things on their minds: they want a car and material goods, and they worry about whether school is serving them well. There’s more negotiation（商议）and discussion between parents and children, and children expect to take part in the family decision-making process. They don’t want to rock the boat.”

So it seems that this generation of parents is much more likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat their children as friends. “My parents are happy to discuss things with me and willing to listen to me," says 17-year-old Daniel Lazall. “I always tell them when I’m going out clubbing. As long as they know what I’m doing, they’re fine with it.” Susan Crome, who is now 21, agrees. “Looking back on the last 10 years, there was a lot of what you could call negotiation. For example, as long as I’d done all my homework, I could go out on a Saturday night. But I think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my parents than that.”

Maybe this positive view of family life should not be unexpected. It is possible that the idea of teenage rebellion is not rooted in real facts. A researcher comments, “Our surprise that teenagers say they get along well with their parents comes because of a brief period in our social history when teenagers were regarded as different beings. But that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents really only happened during that one time in the 1960s when everyone rebelled. The normal situation throughout history has been a smooth change from helping out with the family business to taking it over.”

What is the popular image of teenagers today?

A. They worry about school.            

B. They dislike living with their parents.

C. They have to be locked in to avoid troubles. 

D. They quarrel a lot with other family members.

The study shows that teenagers don’t want to__________ .

A. share family responsibility              B. cause trouble in their families

C. go boating with their family             D. make family decisions

Compared with parents of 30 years ago, today’s parents__________ .

A. go to clubs more often with their children  

B. are much stricter with their children

C. care less about their children’s life          

D. give their children more freedom

According to the author, teenage rebellion__________ .

A. may be a false belief                        B. is common nowadays

C. existed only in the 1960s                    D. resulted from changes in families

What is the passage mainly about?
