Have you had a headache during a test? Have you ever been so 41 about something that you have a headache or even can’t sleep at night? If so, then you know what stress(压力) is. Stress is a kind of worry. This worry in your mind can make your body feel bad. You may feel 42 , sad, scared(恐惧的), or afraid—all of which can give you a stomach ache or a headache.
However, there are different kinds of stress. Some kinds of stress are good and 43 are bad. Good stress might happen when you’re called to answer questions in class. This kind of stress can help you to get things better done. For example, you may do a better job in your test 44 the stress pushes you to prepare better before the test.
On the other hand, bad stress can happen if the stress lasts too long. You may not feel well if your parents are fighting, or if anything else makes you unhappy every day. That kind of stress isn’t going to help you. And it can actually 45 you sick.
