26、Although 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 the pressure through exercise or physical activity. Running, walking, playing tennis, or working in your garden are just some of the activities you might try. 【1】 Your body and your mind will work together to ease the stress in your life.
Share your stress
It helps to talk to someone about your anxieties and worries. Perhaps a friend, family member, teacher or even your leader can help you get a better view of what’s troubling you. If you feel your problem is serious, you might seek professional help from a psychologist or a doctor. 【2】
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 stressful situations. If stress repeatedly keeps you from sleeping, you should consult a doctor.
Make time for yourself
Schedule time for both work and entertainment. Don’t forget, play can be just as important to you over-all well-being as work. You need a break from your daily routine to just relax and have fun. Go window-shopping or work on a hobby. 【3】
Make a list of the things you need to do
Stress can result from disorganization 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, checking off each task as it is completed. 【4】
Go ahead and cry
【5】 It might even help you avoid a headache or other physical effects of anxiety and stress.
A.Do what you want to do.
B.Allow yourself at least a half hour each day to do something you enjoy.
C.Physical exercise will relieve your anxiety and worry and help you to relax.
D.Knowing who to ask for help is an important step in avoiding serious problems later.
E.Set out to do the most important tasks first.
F.A good cry can be a healthy way to bring relief to your anxiety.
G.Laugh when you want to.

28、Several years ago, I was living in New York and working for an airline, so I never got back home for Christmas. But this Christmas was different. I was lucky. I had the whole day off, which meant I could spend Christmas Eve with my family.
When Christmas morning came, I awoke to a small hand rubbing my face. "Dad, Merry Christmas!" my younger son said. I got downstairs just to see the little boys' faces as they looked at the pocket rockets Santa Claus had left them. The real Christmas was for the children who had deep belief in the amazing power of Santa Claus. At first, their fingers went almost shyly over their toys. When their inspection(检查)had been completed, the two boys dragged everything into the centre of the living room.
Delight flooded the room. As their mother began giving out gifts, I smiled to myself, wondering what unexpected gift this year I would receive. The children were happily opening packages but I received not a single one. I had to admit that my disappointment was growing steadily, but I tried not to show it.
My youngest son was so kind. He passed me a box saying, "Daddy, it is a gift from Santa Claus for me. But he won't mind that I will give it to a poor dad, right?" I smiled knowing the gift was the one I put in the stocking. I thanked him and gave him a big hug.
Suddenly my wife said, "We haven't forgotten you. Look at the tree." There was an envelope in the tree, addressed to me. I opened it and read, "You have one day off from your job to spend with us. Welcome back home. Merry Christmas!"
Outside, snow was falling, a usual event for a New York Christmas. I was surrounded by an act of love, I smiled at first and cried like a little boy.

29、
I have observed that Colbie Caillat has a positive influence on pop culture in recent years. Colbie has taken a stand for natural beauty with the release of her hit single, “Try”. The first time I watched the “Try” music video, I felt inspired.
The video shows women of different backgrounds and body types as well as a range of ages. I find the most inspiration in the expressions on all of the women’s faces throughout the video. Each woman has a positive look on her own face as she is shown without make-up.
In today’s society, there is an unbelievable amount of pressure to “look good”. This opening line sets the mood for the video and gives viewers a chance to wonder whether society likes them. The theme of “Try” is that we young women should focus more on our personalities than our looks, contrary to what society wants us to believe.
I have shown this video to both my mother and my grandmother, since the video speaks positive to women of all ages. The inspirational words cause viewers to think deeper about inner beauty, which is quite powerful. My mother and grandmother had similar comments about the video, which inspired further conversation about their opinions of natural beauty in today’s society.
The closing words of the video are: take your make-up off. Let your hair down.Take a breath. Look into the mirror at yourself. Don’t you like you? Because I like you. It is important to focus on ourselves and ask ourselves whether we are pleased with ourselves. Colbie’s efforts break the pop culture rules of make-up.Inspiration and positive self-esteem come from within. Inner beauty makes one look good instead of the outside beauty. Colbie’s efforts should be copied to increase the importance of natural beauty in the pop culture and encourage further inspiration for young women in future generations.
【1】The author pays attention to Colbie Caillat because .
A.she is regarded as the best singer
B.she makes a big difference to pop culture

A.It shows all kinds of women with make-up.
B.It advises everyone not to dress up themselves.
C.It helps viewers find who loves them most.

【3】From the last paragraph, we can infer that .
A.people shouldn’t make up
B.people should only care about themselves
C.a woman’s real beauty is from the inside
D.positive self-esteem leads to success in the future
【4】What may be the best title for the text?
