A stress ball is a small ball designed to help relieve stress by exercising the muscles in the hand. Actually, a stress ball does not necessarily have to be shaped like a ball. 1. The main characteristic is that it can fit easily in a hand, and it is changeable, allowing a user to squeeze it out of shape while providing some resistance to force the muscles of the hand to work.

2. Squeezing a stress ball while imagining a reduction in stress is a frequently-recommended stress management tool for people in demanding jobs. Stress balls are often given away at conferences and other corporate events as promotional tools, reflecting their widespread use.

In addition to this, a stress ball can be useful for physical strain. Physical therapists use a very similar tool to help people flex and stretch the muscles in their hands. Squeezing a stress ball can reduce the amount of strain associated with repetitive tasks like typing. 3. .

A variety of things can be used to fill a stress ball. The filling should be firm, with a bit of give to it, forcing people to work to deform the stress ball. You can make your own basic stress ball by filling a balloon with corn starch（淀粉）. Beans and plastic granules（顆粒） may also be used. 4. .

Using a stress ball doesn’t require any particular instructions or skills. 5. Repeated use of a stress ball can, of course, cause the same problems that other repetitive motions are associated with, but taking breaks from typing and other repetitive tasks to squeeze a stress ball a few times can be beneficial.

A. However, these fillings are less smooth.

B. Also, it can help to develop hand strength.

C. All you need to do is pick the ball and squeeze it.

D. A wide variety of shapes can be found on the market.

E. One of the best handmade gifts for men is a stress ball.

F. Stress balls are supposed to be very useful for mental stress relief.

G. This can be easily cured by keeping something like a stress ball in the hand.

Dear Alcohol,

You've been around forever. I can remember all the pain you've caused for me.

Do you remember the night you almost took my father's life? I do. He loves you. Sometimes I think he loves you more than he loves me. He's addicted to you, to the way you promise to rid him of his problems only to cause more of them. You just sat back and laughed as his car went spinning through the street, crashing into two other cars. He wasn't the only one hurt by you that night.

Do you remember the night of my first high school party? You were there. My friends were intrigued by you. They treated you as if they were never going to see you again, drinking all of you that they could. I spent two hours that night helping my friends who had fallen completely. "I'm so embarrassed," they said as I held their hair back so that they could vomit . "I'm sorry," they said when I called taxies for them, walking them out and paying the driver in advance. "This won't happen again," they said as they were sent to the hospital to have their stomachs pumped. Two 15-year-old girls slept in hospital beds that night thanks to you.

Do you remember the night when you took advantage of my 17-year-old neighbor who had to drive to pick up his sister from her dance lessons? Do you know how we all felt when he hit another car and killed the two people in the other car? He died the next morning too. His sister walked home from her dance lesson, and passed police cars and a crowd of people gathering on the sidewalk just two blocks away from the dance studio. She didn't realize her orother was in the midst of it all. She never saw him again. And it's all your fault.

I wish you'd walk out of my life forever. I don't want anything to do with you. Look at all the pain you've caused. Sure, you've made people happy too from time to time. But the damage you've caused in the lives of millions is inexcusable. Stop luring (引誘) in the people I love. Stop hurting me, please.

Sincerely,

Anonymous

We spend a quarter of our lives asleep. Sleep is necessary for the body to rest, yet our brains continue to process information. Studies have shown that students are more successful when they sleep after studying–instead of pulling all-nighters–because the brain reviews information learned. Similarly, dreaming is an opportunity to work out emotional problems and form thoughts and memories. About 25 percent of the time spent sleeping is spent in rapid eye movement, or REM, sleep. This type of sleep is known for when dreams occur, but it also helps energize the brain and body.

Researchers have found two important factors regarding humans and sleep: basicsleep need and sleep debt. Basic sleep need is the amount of sleep we need to have regularly to perform at our best. Sleep debt is the loss of sleep. A few studies say that most adults function best with a basic sleep need of seven to eight hours a night. The problem is that sleep debt also factors in, just because that you meet your basic sleep needs a few nights of the week doesn’t mean it cancels out the effects of one night’s sleep debt.

Of course, everyone is different and some people require more or less sleep than the standard basic sleep need. But the real problem lies in what lack of sleep does over the long period to people who either does not meet his or her body’s needs or for one reason or another doesn’t get enough regular sleep. It is more possible for these people to have motor vehicle accidents, weight gain and risk for heart disease or diabetes (糖尿病) and may be at increased risk for psychological conditions such as depression or drug abuse. Sleeping too long also can be associated with depression and poor health.

1.Most peoplespent around ______ of the sleeping time in REM sleep?

A. One third of the time

B. More than half of the time

C. One fourth of the time

D. More than 5 hours every day

2.【W(wǎng)hich of the following is NOT the result for lack of sleep according to the passage?

A. Car accidents. B. Putting on weight.

C. Heart problems. D. Review learning things.

3.The best title for the passage is ______.

A. Why We Need Sleep

B. REMSleep and Basic Sleep

C. Sleep Causes Problems

D. How Much Sleep We Need

4.Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Students will forget what they have learned if they go to sleep immediately after study.

B. People may have an idea on how to solve an emotional problem if they have a dream.

C. It’s all right to have a night of sleep debt if you fulfill several days of basic sleep need.

D. Sleeping as long as you can is considered to be good for your health and performance.
