If you feel stressed by responsibilities at work, you should take a step back and identify (识别) those of 【小题1】 (great) and less importance. Then, handle the most important tasks first so you’ll feel 【小题2】 real sense of achievement. Leaving the less important things until tomorrow 【小题3】 (be) often acceptable.

Most of us are more focused 【小题4】 our tasks in the morning than we are later in the day. So, get an early start and try to be as productive as possible before lunch. This will give you the confidence 【小题5】 you need to get you through the afternoon and go home feeling accomplished.

Recent 【小题6】 (study) show that we are far more productive at work if we take short breaks 【小题7】 (regular). Give your body and brain a rest by stepping outside for a while, exercising, or doing something you enjoy.

If you find something you love doing outside of the office, you’ll be less likely 【小题8】 (bring) your work home. It could be anything — gardening, cooking, music, sports — but whatever it is, make sure it’s a 【小题9】 (relieve) from daily stress rather than 【小题10】 thing to worry about.

How many tigers have tried to attack you to death today？【小题1】(hope) the stressors in your life don’t involve a wild animal chasing you through the bush, as was often 【小题2】 case for our cavemen ancestors. Still, we are wired for stress physiologically much the same way we were thousands of years ago.

【小题3】 not all stress is bad, we need a break from bad stressors. Otherwise, our health may begin to 【小题4】(worse). The link between stress and heart disease isn’t 【小题5】(total) clear but being under long­time stress can affect blood pressure and heart rate, 【小题6】 can lead to heart issues. It can also cause many people to “manage” their stress with 【小题7】(health) behaviors like drinking and smoking, which can affect heart health.

Young adults and middle­aged people who experience stress on a regular basis may experience memory loss before 【小题8】(them) turn 50. A study published in the journal Neurology shows people who are under stress have their brain 【小题9】(shrink) for years before symptoms start to show.

So it’s important for people to find ways 【小题10】(reduce) stress, such as getting enough sleep, engaging in moderate exercise, or asking your doctor for advice.

Humblebragging, a new word created by Harris Wittels, a comedic writer, refers to “a specific type of boast (吹嘘) that allows the speaker to broadcast their achievements 【小题1】 the necessary shame and guilt normally accompanying such claims.” In simpler terms, it’s a way to disguise (伪装) a boast with some humility. 【小题2】 it’s body image, money, or fame, humblebragging is finding 【小题3】 (it) way into our lives more frequently than before, thanks to social media.

A recent study, published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, shows that people choose to humblebrag as an attempt 【小题4】 (impress) others. We often rely on this strategy to enhance our self presentation and 【小题5】 (ultimate) to have others respect us and view us in a more positive light. While we do need to rely on quite a bit of self-promotion to make others aware of our competences, humblebraggers are known for 【小题6】 (mix) self-promotion with humility or complaint.

The results in this study show that people perceive humblebragging not only as insincere, but less 【小题7】 (effect) than just straightforward boasting or complaining. According to this study, people who rely on this strategy do so to gain more popularity and respect from others. However, in 【小题8】 (real), they cause the complete opposite from recipients. What to do? The authors of the study conclude with the following statement, “【小题9】 (face) with the choice to honestly boast or humblebrag, self-promoters should choose 【小题10】 former, and at least obtain the rewards of seeming sincere.”
