9．Kids'health：Four steps for fighting stress
Everybody gets stressed from time to time．（71）CSome ways of dealing with stress
-like screaming or hitting someone-don't solve much．But other ways，like talking to someone you trust，can lead you to solving your problem or at least feeling better．
Try taking these four steps the next time you are stressed：
（1）Get support．When you need help，reach out to the people who care about you．Talk to a trusted adult，such as a parent or other relatives．（72）FThey might have
had similar problems，such as dealing with a test，or the death of a beloved pet．
（2）Don't take it out on yourself．Sometimes when kids are stressed and upset they take it out on themselves．Oh，dear，that's not a good idea．Remember that there are always people to help you．Don't take it out on yourself．（73）A
（3）Try to solve the problem．After you're calm and you have support from adults and
friends，it's time to get down to business．（74）EEven if you can't solve it all，you can solve a piece of it．
（4）Be positive．Most stress is temporary （暂时的）．Remember stress does go away，
especially when you figure out the problem and start working on solving it．
These steps aren't magic，but they do work．And if you can stay positive as you make your way through a tough time，you'll help yourself feel better even faster．（75）D

D．You need to figure out what the problem is．
E．Ah，it feels so good when the stress is gone．

Answer 1

分析 本文叙述了孩子们释放压力的四种方法．一是得到家人亲戚和朋友的帮助．二是不要在自己身上撒气．三是试图解决问题．四是保持乐观的态度．

解答 71．C 靠查上下文联系．根据Everybody gets stressed from time to time 每个人都有压力，不同的人在不同的方面感觉有压力，故选C．
72．F 考查上下文联系．根据Talk to a trusted adult，such as a parent or other relatives．前面提到了你可以和你父亲、母亲或亲戚，那么下文就该说朋友了，要和朋友说说话，讲出你的压力，故选F．
73．A  考查上下文逻辑．根据Don't take it out on yourself．不要和自己生气，不要把气向自己身上撒，要请求一个帮手来帮助你度过这个难关，故选A．
74．E 考查上下文逻辑．根据it's time to get down to business．及Even if you can't solve it all，you can solve a piece of it．到了你静下心来做事情的时间了，你需要了解你的问题所在，故选E．
75．D 考查上下文逻辑．根据And if you can stay positive as you make your way through a tough time，you'll help yourself feel better even faster．如果你再经历困苦的时候保持乐观的态度，你就会感觉好得多．等到压力消失的时候感觉就好了，故选D．
