Do you suffer from bloating (肠胃胀气) or irritated bowels (拉肚子) when feeling stressed or anxious? 【小题1】 so, you’re not alone. Stress and anxiety are known to bring on gut (肠道) troubles.

If you ever suffer from stomach troubles during a 【小题2】 (stress) moment, this is because your anxiety levels are connected to your digestive system.

“There’s 【小题3】 (evident) that the brain and the gut communicate with each other via numerous systems and do not function independently”, says Dr. Ashton Harper, a gut health specialist. “Because of this interconnected relationship it means that if one system is disturbed, it 【小题4】 (result) in the other system being disturbed.”

There are several things you can do 【小题5】 (reduce) the effects of anxiety and stress on your gut. The direct approach would be to identify the “stress trigger” and try to remove it, or alter its impact, from your daily life, where possible.

For instance, Dr. Ashton suggests, you may get stressed by not being prepared for some activity like 【小题6】 (give) a class presentation — make sure that you allow plenty of time to 【小题7】 (adequate) prepare and rehearse to prevent or reduce anxiety.

Think about how you can calm your day from 【小题8】 beginning — walking some of the journey to school rather than all of it being spent on crowded subway or bus.

If you feel 【小题9】 (you) getting stressed out with a task, take a mini-break from the activity by making a hot drink or writing a list of things you would like to do with your weekend before returning 【小题10】 your work.

As we know, the global water shortage is becoming increasingly severe mainly due to global warming, environmental pollution and the ever-increasing population. Therefore, it’s high time we did something about it. Firstly, an【小题1】(effect) way, I think, is to reserve water in a scientific way for future use. Secondly, new methods need to be developed to use the existing water resources, for example, 【小题2】(turn) sea water into fresh water. Thirdly, we must stop water pollution by law. Last but not least, it’s everyone’s responsibility            【小题3】(make) good use of water, such as recycling and saving water in our daily life. In conclusion, people around the world should be aware of the real situation of water shortage, protect the present water resources and explore potential ones scientifically.

When someone has 【小题1】 (deep) hurt you, it can be very difficult to let go of your anger. But forgiveness is possible and it can be surprisingly 【小题2】 (benefit) to your physical, and mental health. So far research 【小题3】 (show) that people who forgive can have more energy, better appetite and better sleep. “People who forgive show 【小题4】 (little) anger and more hopefulness,” says Dr. Frederic Luskin, who wrote the book Forgive for Good. “So it can help reduce the tiredness out of the immune system and allow people to feel more energetic.”

So when someone has hurt you, cool down first. Take a couple of breaths and think of something 【小题5】 gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love. Don’t wait for them 【小题6】 (apologize). “Many times the person who hurt you may never think of apologizing.” says Dr. Luskin. “They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things in 【小题7】 same way. So if you wait for people to say sorry, you could be waiting a very long time.”

Next, keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean 【小题8】 (accept) the action of the person who upsets you. Instead, learn to look for the love, beauty and 【小题9】(kind) around you.Finally, try to see things from the other person’s perspective (视角). You may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance. To gain perspective, you may want to write a letter【小题10】 yourself from that person’s point of view.
