（2025河南郑州外国语期中改编）

There is a famous English expression: "Stop the world, I want to get off!" It perfectly describes the feeling of being overwhelmed by stress — when you just want to pause everything you are doing. Stress is one of the most common causes of health problems in modern life. Too much pressure can lead to physical, emotional and mental issues.

Stress has plenty of physical effects. It can make your heart beat faster or skip beats, and may even cause high blood pressure. It can also make you breathe too fast, and often leads to stomachaches and digestive problems. These are just a few examples of how stress affects the body.

Emotions are also easily influenced by stress. People with too much pressure often feel worried, tired, angry or nervous. When under stress, people tend to overreact to small problems. For example, a normally gentle parent who is overloaded with work may shout at their child for dropping a glass of water.

Long-term stress can lead to serious mental illnesses. Depression — a persistent feeling of sadness and hopelessness — is often the result of continuous high stress. Chronic insomnia is also linked to stress, and lack of sleep makes mental health even worse.

Clearly, stress is a serious issue that affects both our health and mood. Cutting down stress, taking a break, and resting properly are necessary for a healthy life.

Do you ever feel overloaded with work, pressured by high expectations, or just want to scream? Don't worry! HALT — an acronym from the words Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired — is a handy tool to help you manage your emotions.

● Hungry? Eat! Hunger can seriously affect your mood. When you are hungry, your blood sugar drops below normal levels, making you absent-minded and easy to lose your temper. The hungrier you get, the worse your mood becomes. To balance your blood sugar and improve your mood, carry some fruit or nuts in your bag for quick energy.

● Angry? Pause! When you are mad at someone or something, stop focusing on the problem immediately. Taking deep breaths and writing down your feelings in a notebook are great ways to cool down. These small actions help you avoid saying or doing things you may regret later.

● Lonely? Connect! Loneliness can make you sad or anxious. Reach out to a friend or family member for a chat, or join a sports team or art club to meet new people. Knowing you are not alone can help you weather the storm during tough times.

● Tired? Rest! When you are exhausted, your brain cannot function well. Change your work pace: try taking a 5-minute break after 25 minutes of studying. You can stretch, listen to a song, or simply close your eyes. Most importantly, go to bed early to refresh your brain.

To manage these feelings, you can prepare a HALT first aid kit. As the saying goes, "▲" Your kit can include snacks, a stress ball, a playlist of happy songs, and a cozy sweater. Taking care of your body helps keep your mind strong. Let's make good use of HALT!

( )16. Which  best shows the relationship between blood sugar and mood described in Paragraph 2?

A. ↘（下降）   B. ↗（上升）   C. →（平稳）    D. ↗↘（波动）

( )17. According to Paragraph 3, what can you do when you feel angry?

A. Do breathing exercises to calm down.

B. Keep focusing on the problem to solve it.

C. Eat healthy snacks to raise blood sugar.

D. Go to bed early to refresh your brain.

( )18. The underlined phrase "weather the storm" in Paragraph 4 means "______".

A. meet with    B. miss out    C. suffer from    D. get over

( )19. 新考法·句子还原 Which sentence can be put in the "▲" in the last paragraph?

A. Better late than never.
