Unit 6 reading How to lead a balanced life Many students suffer from stress in their daily lives. They are under stress because their lives are not balanced. They focus too much on studying, dealing with peer pressure and worrying about what others think, and not enough on other things. You may wonder whether stress is a serious matter. The answer is “Yes”. You should be aware that stress is a risk to your health. If you want to live a long and healthy life, you need to begin to guard against stress from a young age. Here are some ways to deal with stress and bring balance to your life: Be positive One way to cancel out stress is through positive thinking. You should always look on the bright side of life, and imagine that you will have a happy and successful future. Learn to relax Force yourself to take a break from your studies and worries about exams. You can do this by taking a walk, reading a book, going to a concert or seeing a film, or just sitting in a private place and being silent for a moment. Take up a hobby Learn to paint, take up skating, or start playing a musical instrument. When you are busy with a hobby, you leave all your worries behind. Take care of your body Stress is your body's enemy. Taking regular exercise, eating a healthy diet and getting enough sleep are all the things that can help you. Laugh Sometimes laughter is the best medicine for stress. Seeing a funny film or telling jokes with friends will often cheer you up when you are low. 语言点提炼： 1. suffer from 遭受… 他正在遭受严重的疾病。 He_____ _____ _____ a serious illness. 那个患精神病的可怜女人昨晚去世了.
