4． Hu Yaohui, a schoolgirl in Zhejiang province, didn't want to speak or eat for a week. She kept worrying about her grades on the exam. "I can't stop thinking about my place in the class, " she said. "I feel stressed out. "
Hu is not the only one who faces stress. According to a recent survey from Wuhan University, 70 percent of the 2, 000 students about to take the college and high school entrance exams (入学考试) feel under pressure.
Actually, stress isn't always bad. Sometimes, people's stress is important during emergency situations, such as when a driver has to stop his car to avoid (避免) an accident. Sometimes, stress can help people do their best – like while getting ready before a big competition or exam.
However, too much stress is bad for people's health. People with too much stress may have problems remembering things and they are quick to get angry. They may even have other problems like sleeping problems, headaches and often getting colds.
Reading a good book, enjoying music and eating delicious food are all good ways to reduce (减少) pressure. But for middle school students, the most helpful way is to ask parents or friends for help. Don't be too shy to tell others that you are having a hard time. Sometimes just sharing your problems with someone else can make you feel better.
