SUBIECTUL I (25P)
Read the text and decide if the following sentences are true or false. Write T for
true and F for false on the answer sheet. (10 items x2,5p= 25p)

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.
