V. Reading Comprehension

The Effects of Stress

There is a famous expression in English: "Stop the world, I want to get off!" This expression refers to a feeling of
panic, or stress, that makes a person want to stop whatever they are doing, try to relax, and become calm again.
'Stress' means pressure or tension. It is one of the most common causes of health problems in modern life. Too
much stress results in physical, emotional, and mental health problems.

There are numerous physical effects of stress. Stress can affect the heart. It can increase the pulse rate, make
the heart miss beats, and can cause high blood pressure. Stress can affect the respiratory system. It can lead to
asthma. It can cause a person to breathe too fast, resulting in a loss of important carbon dioxide. Stress can
affect the stomach. It can cause stomach aches and problems digesting food. These are only a few examples of
the wide range of illnesses and symptoms resulting from stress.

Emotions are also easily affected by stress. People suffering from stress often feel anxious. They may have panic
attacks. They may feel tired all the time. When people are under stress, they often overreact to little problems.
For example, a normally gentle parent under a lot of stress at work may yell at a child for dropping a glass of
juice. Stress can make people angry, moody, or nervous.
Long-term stress can lead to a variety of serious mental illnesses. Depression, an extreme feeling of sadness and
hopelessness, can be the result of continued and increasing stress. Alcoholism and other addictions often
develop as a result of overuse of alcohol or drugs to try to relieve stress. Eating disorders, such as anorexia, are
sometimes caused by stress and are often made worse by stress. If stress is allowed to continue, then one's
mental health is put at risk.

It is obvious that stress is a serious problem. It attacks the body. It affects the emotions. Untreated, it may
eventually result in mental illness. Stress has a great influence on the health and well-being of our bodies, our
feelings, and our minds. So, reduce stress: stop the world and rest for a while.
