Science shows when you change your mind about stress, you can change your body’s response (反应) to stress. How you think and act can change your experience of stress. When you consider your stress response helpful, you can create courage. When you are stressed and choose to communicate with others, you can create resilience (韧性). You can get away from the bad influences of stress on your health from time to time. The most amazing thing is that stress makes you social. Your stress response wants to make sure you notice others in trouble. You need to support and care about each other. Also, stress is not useless. It reaches your heart and makes it beat fast. It can bring you strength and energy. If you think of stress in a new way, you will trust yourself to deal with challenges. Of course, you don’t have to face them on your own.

Some people believe that overthinking may be helpful 21 it helps us look at a problem from every possible angle (角度) and get ready for what might happen. However, research shows that overthinking can make us feel 22 (worry) and stressed. We worry too much about the future, as well as 23 past that can’t be changed. It will have a serious influence on feelings. Some people even can’t sleep 24 (good) because of overthinking. What’s more, problems might 25 (create) by overthinking when you get along with others. As you think the worst, make incorrect guesses, or worry about every little thing that others do and say, you might fail 26 (understand) their real purposes correctly. So, instead of sitting and thinking about a problem again and again, you can pay attention to other things for a bit. Your brain might find even 27 (good) ways to solve the problem while you’re doing something fun, like gardening or even while you’re sleeping. Also, when you find 28 (you) overthinking, challenge these thoughts. Ask yourself if they are meaningful and think about other 29 (possible). It can be hard at first, but it will surely help you make a change if you realize that you are overthinking. Once you learn to control your overthinking, you will become a more powerful person. 六、选词填空 阅读短文，从方框中选择适当的词并用其正确形式填空，使短文顺畅、意思完整。每词限用一次。 around  stranger  method  comfortable  focus  change  spread  and  improve  so Do you want to live a happier life?
