With the fast pace of modern life, more and more people are living under great pressure.
Some people are afraid 48 pressure. They think that the stress of work takes joy and happiness away from them. In their view, stress does harm to them 49 physically and mentally. That is 50 they prefer something less competitive to something more challenging.
Others argue that stress isn’t as bad as it is often supposed to be. 51 it is beyond yourself, a certain amount of stress can be of great significance. 52 , without stress it is easy to waste time. Stress gives purpose and meaning to a meaningless and boring life. Most people 53 are under stress finally achieve goals. And they can bring 54 ability into full play.
In my opinion, we shouldn’t escape from stress but face it as it is. What we can do is to adapt to stress rather 55 avoid it.
As a teacher, my daily activity involves driving to a new school almost every day.
On one particular day during my lunch break, I drove to a nearby square to get a coffee. Upon returning to the 36, I realized I had locked my phone and my 37 inside! I had about 15 minutes to get back to the 38. So I hurried into a McDonald’s in the same square, and asked the man at the counter, who happened to be the 39, to call a taxi for me. After I 40 explained my situation to him, he rushed inside to make the phone while I waited anxiously in the restaurant. I had less than 10 minutes to 41 to my school at this point.
A moment later, the manager returned only to tell me that the line was 42, and that he had not been able to 43 the taxi yet. I think both 44 and fear could be seen in my face.
Without a thought, he grabbed his coat and 45 to drive me to the school. Without hesitation, I followed him into his car and got back to the classroom with two minutes to 46 before the bell rang!
This experience made me 47 that out of every seemingly hopeless situation, there is the opportunity for acts of kindness to happen, which has an unimaginable influence on those who receive them.
