While 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. 1.
● 2. When you are nervous，angry or upset, try releasing the pressure through exercise or physical activity.Running, walking, playing tennis, and working in your garden are just some of the activities you might try.
●Take care of yourself
3. If you easily get angry and can’t 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 your overall well-being as work. 4.Go window-shopping or work on a hobby.Allow yourself at least a half hour each day to do something you enjoy.
● 5.
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.Set out to do the most important task first.
A.Do whatever you like and want to do.
B.You should make every effort to eat well and get enough rest.
C.Make a list of things to do.
D.Try physical activity.
E.You need a break from your daily routine to just relax and have fun.

G.The following are suggestions for ways to deal with stress.
There are many differences between British English and American English. I used to teach a course about the differences between the two. We speak English on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean but we have many differences in our common language. We have examples of the same words having very different meanings，differing spellings of the same words as well as completely different words for the same things. Here are some examples.
A cookie in the US is called a biscuit in the UK.A biscuit in the US is a small cake in the UK. Crisps in the UK，are known as chips，but we British people eat a plate of chips that you call fries in the US. In the UK，a pie can be made from either meat or fruit，while in the US pies are normally made from fruit；pot pies are made from meat. Most things are measured in grams and kilograms in the US，not pounds and ounces.
One very obvious(明显的)difference is the side of the road we each choose to drive on. Petrol in the UK is gas in the US. The place where we fill up our cars，in the UK，is a garage；while in the US，it’s a gas station. The term garage is also used as a place to store your car next to or close by your house. In the UK we call a lorry what is known as a truck in the US.
An elevator in the US is called a lift here，and the first floor in the US，is called the ground floor here，so many visitors get off on the wrong floor in British hotels.
I could continue with this. There are countless examples of differences within our one shared language. With so many differences，no wonder it’s hard to understand each other well.
1.The passage is mainly about the differences between British English and American English in________.
A.vocabulary B.grammar
C.sound D.spelling
2.It’s implied in the passage that the author may be________.

A.language differences don’t affect understanding
B.the same words in the two different types of English may have different spellings
C.there will be fewer differences between American and British English in the future
D.it is impossible that some Americans get off on the wrong floor in British hotels
4.What can we learn from the passage?
