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.

試題分析:本文以一個(gè)講師解釋壓力管理的例子開篇，由此引出釋放壓力的五個(gè)方法：將艱巨的任務(wù)放在早晨；放開你不能控制的事情；不要在意別人的看法；列出你喜愛的三件事情和向窗外望，作深呼吸。

【1】C 根據(jù)第五段Do it first and enjoy increased productivity and peace of mind for the rest of the day. 可知將最艱巨的任務(wù)放在早晨，你就能享受到效率提升及剩余時(shí)間的平靜帶來的愜意。故選C。

【2】B 根據(jù)第六段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可知抱怨毫無益處。遇到你不能掌控的事情，做一些其他的事情來轉(zhuǎn)移注意力，例如到公園里散步，躺在床上讀一本好書，或者傾聽雨打窗欞的聲音。因此，將你能掌控的事情做到最好，放手你不能掌控的事情。故選B

【3】F 根據(jù)第七段作者講述的自己跳舞的經(jīng)歷，說明太在意別人的想法，就會(huì)給自己增加壓力，束縛自己。所以Don’t worry about what others are thinking.不必?fù)?dān)心別人的想法。選F。

【4】D 根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段第一句Just list 3 simple things about any part of your life that you love.列出3件你喜愛的事情，在你堵車或排隊(duì)結(jié)賬感到無聊的時(shí)候，這個(gè)技巧就會(huì)幫助你感受幸福和平靜。故選D。

【5】A根據(jù)Do it when you are under great stress, focusing only on that breath and nothing else in the whole world.當(dāng)你感覺壓力大的時(shí)候，將注意力集中到呼吸上，忘掉其他的一切�？芍�向窗外眺望，深呼吸這聽起來及其簡(jiǎn)單的方法，也能給你帶來平靜的心情。故選D。
