Exercise 5. Đọc đoạn văn dưới đây rồi chọn trả lời câu hỏi.
How imporant is leisure time? How important is time to relax and to collect yourself ? Many doctors
believe that learning to relax in order to relieve day – to – day tension could one day save your life.
In our fast – paced world, it is almost impossible to avoid building up tension from stress. All of us confront
stress daily: anything that places an extra demand on us causes stress. We encounter stress on the job, and we
face it at home.
The body responds to stress by “ mobilizing its defenses”. Blood pressure rises and muscles get ready to
act. If our tension is not relieved, it can start numourous reactions, both physical and psychological. Yet, we
can learn to cope with stress effectively and to avoid its consequences. How? By relaxing in the face of the
stress. According to researcher Hans Selye of the University of Montreal, the effects of stress depend not on
what happens to us, but on the way we react. In times of stress, taking a few moments to sit quietly and relax
can make anyone feel better.
