Coping with life’s stressors by Dr. Judy Palmer

Let’s face it. Life is stressful. Stressful events in our lives are called “stressors”. Some of them are minor, such as uncomfortable air conditioning or a loudly ringing telephone. Others are more serious, such as the death of a spouse. That event tops the list as life’s most stressful event.

You might be surprised to learn about the top 20 life stressors. Getting a divorce, for example, is number 2 on the list. And not all stressors are unhappy events. Pregnancy is a happy time for most families. It may also cause stress. Pregnancy is right below retirement on the list of life’s major stressors.

We can’t avoid stress, but we can do something about it. Listen to three people talking about their responses to stress in their lives. Tina Vega, 16

Last year was horrible! My family moved to another town. I had to change schools and say good-bye to all my friends. It was really tough. I felt so lonely in my new school. But then one day I decided to enjoy my life: I smiled at everyone and I joined the soccer club at school. Now I have new friends. I like my new school.

Frederick Cho, 42

Life is unpredictable. Three weeks ago I lost my job. I was upset for the first week. I couldn’t do anything. Now I’m looking for a new job. It’s not good to sit around the house. I exercise every day and I’m healthier than I’ve been in years. Hazel Greene, 80

My husband and I got married in 1950. He died five years ago. For the first two years I was depressed. I missed him so much because we did everything together. But now I’m feeling better. I think it’s important to stay active and positive. I read a lot and do volunteer work.

A. Listen and circle the best headline for the news story you hear.

Female Newscaster(F): Well, Jim, our next story is a strange one, isn't it?

Male Newscaster (M): Yes, Irene, it sure is. It surprised everyone. Almost 200 people on a two-week holiday trip to Saint Martin became sick. They're calling it the \

F：It sounds scary. What caused it?

M: The doctors aren't exactly sure, but they know it was something in the food the passengers ate.

F: OK, give us the details.

M: All right, here's the story: On Friday night, the ship departed around 10 p.m. with 300 passengers on board. By Sunday morning, some people reported feeling lightheaded. They stayed in bed. By that afternoon, more than half of the passengers had severe indigestion. Some of them got very sick. We spoke to one woman about her experience.

Woman: Everyone was complaining. My stomach hurt so much I couldn't eat anything. It was really terrible! F: What's the situation now?

M: Well, the ship had to return home on Monday---- after only two and a half days at sea---- and most of the passengers went straight to the hospital then. F: How are they doing now?

M: They're exhausted---- many haven't slept for 48 hours---- but they’re doing fine.

.-

F: That's good news. It's too bad they couldn't enjoy their vacation.

M: Yes, it is. And that’s the next problem. The passengers are asking for their money back, but the company doesn't want to refund the full amount. F: What's going to happen then?

M: Nobody knows. I'll keep following the story, though, and I'll have more details for you tomorrow.

I stopped drinking coffee because I couldn’t sleep at night. It was had to break that habit, but now I sleep very well, and I don’t wake up in the middle of the night. If you want to stop drinking coffee, here’s some advice for you. Don’t stop drinking coffee suddenly. You might get a headache. Reduce the amount of coffee slowly. Drink juice or herbal tea instead. If you usually have coffee in the morning, go for a walk or do exercises instead. That will wake you up. And go to bed early! A lot of people drink coffee just because the feel tired..

A. Listen to the health talk… Get in the habit

We all know that good habits bring in good health. But we don’t realize how much difference they can make. In the 1970s, scientists at the University of California, LA interviews seven thousand people about their health habits. Then they follow these people to see how long they lived. The scientist discovered that seven habits were closely linked with a longer life. These habits are：1. Eating breakfast everyday. 2. Avoiding snacks between meals.3. Keeping an ideal weight, not too heavy or too thin.4. Exercising regularly. 5. Sleeping 7 to 8 hours per night, not more or less.6. Not smoking.7. Drink two or fewer alcoholic drinks per day. The researchers found that these habits had a powerful effect on health. People in the study who had three or fewer of these habits lived another 21.6 years. People who had six or seven could expect to live another 33 years. People age 55 to 64 with all seven good habits were as healthy as younger people age 25 to 34 who practiced only one or two of the habits. But how do you change your habits? A slow approach is the best way. Make one small change every week and be patient, it takes about 21 days to form a new habit.

Margaret's friend is taking a new job in a faraway city. She wants to hold a farewell dinner party at her home. But she can't. Margaret suffers from CHAOS (Can't Have Anyone Over Syndrome). Her apartment is messy and she's embarrassed by it. \never been a tidy person,\she says. \best friend gave me some good advice. He told me to get a maid.\information--and lots of it. We receive telephone calls all day long. People expect a quick response to their faxes, text messages, and e-mail messages. For some people, it's too much. They have information fatigue syndrome. There is so much information, they become paralyzed and can't think clearly \can't sleep at night because I worry,\says Bahman, a college senior. \terrible.\Hurry sickness is a straightforward name for another syndrome of modern life. \always rushing. Get headaches a lot. Taking aspirin seems to help,\mother of two and a part-time company employee. Do you engage in \(eating breakfast at your desk at work) more than once a week? Then you, too, may suffer from hurry sickness! We've all complained about having too much work to do. Well, now about not having enough work?

Underload syndrome is caused by having little or nothing to do at the office. You have to pretend that you're working. Steven works as a project manager. \finish my work in about four hours, but I'm afraid to say anything about it. I don't want to be assigned too much work!\In severe cases, people with this syndrome can get very bored and even became depressed. Chances are you're experienced phone neck before.
