【解析】

本文是说明文。讲述了帮助学生们减少压力的一些方法。

1.

根据下文 Many students feel stressed around big moments in their lives like during final exams or when applying to college. 许多学生在生活中的重要时刻感到压力，比如期末考试或申请大学时。可以得知第一句应该是一个与stress有关话题的引入句。stressed同词根stressful。故B选项“有时候生活压力很大 ”切题。故选B。

2.

根据上文Watch a funny movie看一部有趣的电影，及下文信息Chat with friends and family与朋友和家人聊天，都是使人笑的方法，故此处应填入的句子也是一种能使人开心的方法，故C选项“读一本有趣的书”切题。故选C。

3.

根据上文可知，多数学生在考前才突击学习或快到交作业时才写作业。选项下表示转折，是指预先计划带来的好处或作用，故F选项“然而，有一个计划会大大减轻你的压力”切题。故选F。

4.

根据下文As you know, a lack of sleep can be bad for your health可知，众所周知，睡眠不足会对你的健康有害。选项承接下文。故E选项“ 你每晚至少要睡6到8个小时”切题。故选E。

5.

从下文So there are times when it is okay to say “no” to the requests of friends, families and teachers.所以有时候，对朋友、家人和老师的要求说“不”是可以的。可以推断出此处是指“学会拒绝的原因”是压力有时来自你答应做太多被要求做的事情。故故D选项“压力有时来自你答应做太多被要求做的事情”切题。故选D。
