6. Job Stress
Stress is another factor that can lead to
illness. It’s not that stress causes a cold or a
flu, but it can lower your body’s resistance by
depressing the immune system. For many, a
major source of daily stress is their jobs, and
stress levels can be particularly high in a big
city emergency room, like this one. And
unfortunately, catching a cold is the least of
a stressed-out worker’s worries. …

What causes stress at work?
Recent research finds that today’s working
people, though exposed to less physical
stress, are experiencing much more
psychological stress than ever in history.
The factors for such stress can be listed as
follows: (1) The demand of your job;
Book 2
New Horizon College English
Unit 7
(2) The control staff have over how you do
your work; (3) The support you receive from
your colleagues and superiors; (4) Your
relationship with your colleagues; (5)
Whether you understand your roles or your
responsibilities; (6) High staff turnover;
Book 2
New Horizon College English
Unit 7
(7) Lack of communication with your
fellows; (8) Lack of feedback on
performance; (9) Radical changes in
technology; (10) Inadequate awareness of
roles and responsibilities; (11) Lack of skills
as required at work.
Book 2

Unit 7
How to tackle the stress at work?
How to cope with work-oriented stress,
therefore, should call for more and more of
our concern. As shown in the video, hugging
each other in the morning is just one way of
keeping under control the stress in the
workplace. The manager here focuses on
keeping workers happy to relieve their
psychological burden.
Book 2
New Horizon College English
Unit 7
So good relations improve the working
environment and lighten the stress. Besides,
holding an interesting and rewarding job
enables one to cope with stress. Finally,
enhancement of skills as required in
particular tasks, cultivation of team spirit,
and tolerance of fellows’ personalities can be
strong preventive measures to help one avoid
the serious health consequences of stress.

Lighten Your Load and Save Your Life
Para. 1 If you often feel angry and
overwhelmed, like the stress in your life is
spinning out of control, then you may be
hurting your heart. 句型
Para. 2 If you don’t want to break your own
heart, you need to learn to take charge of
your life where you can—and recognize there
are many things beyond your control.
Book 2
New Horizon College English
Unit 7
Para. 3 So says Dr. Robert S. Eliot, author of
a new book titled From Stress to Strength:
How to Lighten Your Load and Save Your
Life. He’s a clinical professor of medicine at
the University of Nebraska.
Para. 4 Eliot says there are people in this
world that he calls “hot reactors”. For these
people, being tense may cause tremendous
and rapid increases in their blood pressure.
Book 2
New Horizon College English
Unit 7
Para. 5a Eliot says researchers have found
that stressed people have higher cholesterol
levels, among other things. “We’ve done
years of work in showing that excess alarm
or stress chemicals can literally burst heart
muscle fibers.
Book 2
New Horizon College English
Unit 7
Para. 5b When that happens it happens
very quickly, within five minutes. It
creates many short circuits, and that
causes crazy heart rhythms. The heart
beats like a bag of worms instead of
a pump. And when that happens, we
can’t live.”
Book 2
New Horizon College English
Unit 7
Para. 6 Eliot, 64, suffered a heart
attack at age 44. He attributes
some of the cause to stress. For
years he was a “hot reactor”. On
the exterior, he was cool, calm and
collected, but on the interior, stress
was killing him. 句型
He’s now
doing very well.
Book 2
New Horizon College English
Unit 7
Para. 7 The main predictors of destructive
levels of stress are the FUD factors—fear,
uncertainty and doubt—together with
perceived lack of control, he says.
Para. 8 For many people, the root of their
stress is anger, and the trick is to find out
where the anger is coming from. 句型 “Does
the anger come from a feeling that
everything must be perfect?” Eliot asks.
Book 2
New Horizon College English
Unit 7
Para. 9 “That’s very common in professional
women. They feel they have to be all things to
all people and do it all perfectly. They think,
‘I should, I must, I have to.’ Good enough is
never good enough. Perfectionists cannot
delegate. They get angry that they have to
carry it all, and they blow their tops. Then
they feel guilty and they start the whole cycle
over again.”
Book 2
New Horizon College English
Unit 7
Para. 10 “Others are angry because they
have no compass in life. And they give the
same emphasis to a traffic jam that they give
a family argument,” he says. “If you are
angry for more than five minutes—if you stir
the anger within you and let it build with no
safety outlet—you have to find out where it’s
coming from.”
Book 2
New Horizon College English
Unit 7
Para. 11 “What happens is that the hotter
people get, physiologically, with mental stress,
the more likely they are to blow apart with
some heart problem.” 句型
Para. 12 One step to calming down is to
recognize you have this tendency. Learn to be
less hostile by changing some of your
attitudes and negative thinking.
Book 2
New Horizon College English
Unit 7
Para. 13 Eliot recommends taking charge of
your life. “If there is one word that should be
substituted for stress, it’s control. Instead of the
FUD factors, what you want is the NICE factors
 new, interesting, challenging experiences.”
Para. 14 “You have to decide what parts of your
life you can control,” he says. “Stop where you
are on your trail and say, ‘I’m going to get my
compass out and find out what I need to do.’ ”
Book 2
New Horizon College English
Unit 7
Para. 15 He suggests that people write down
the six things in their lives that they feel are
the most important things they’d like to
achieve. Ben Franklin did it at age 32. “He
wrote down things like being a better father,
being a better husband, being financially
independent, being stimulated intellectually
and remaining even-tempered—he wasn’t
good at that.”
Book 2
New Horizon College English
Unit 7
Para. 16 Eliot says you can first make a list
of 12 things, then cut it down to 6 and set
your priorities. “Don’t give yourself
impossible things, but things that will affect
your identity, control and self-worth.”
Para. 17 “Put them on a note card and take
it with you and look at it when you need to.
Since we can’t create a 26-hour day we have
to decide what things we’re going to do.”
Book 2
New Horizon College English
Unit 7
Para. 18 Keep in mind that over time these
priorities are going to change. 句型 “The kids
grow up, the dog dies and you change your
priorities.”
Para. 19 From Eliot’s viewpoint, the other key to
controlling stress is to “realize that there are
other troublesome parts of your life over which
you can have little or no control—like the
economy and politicians”. 句型
Book 2
New Horizon College English
Unit 7
Para. 20 You have to realize that
sometimes with things like traffic jams,
deadlines and unpleasant bosses, “You
can’t fight. You can’t flee. You have to
learn how to flow.”

Our down-scale clothing immediately
drew prejudice. Some of the children we

there was no room for us and that the lack
of trust and rude stares virtually drove us
out of the store. (Effect)

为“热核反应堆式的人”（即易怒的人）。对这

Para. 5a 埃利奥特说，研究人员已经发

面上， 他显得沉着、冷静、泰然自若，
但他内心深处的压力使他筋疲力尽。他
现在身体状况很好。
Book 2
New Horizon College English
Unit 7
Para. 7 他说，压力破坏性程度的主要预测指
标是FUD因素 FUD 指的是恐惧、犹豫和
怀疑  再加上可察觉到的缺乏控制力。
Para. 8 对许多人来说，压力的根源是愤怒，
而对付愤怒的诀窍是找出怒从何来。埃利奥
特问道：“这种愤怒是否来自这么一种感觉：
希望一切事物都必须完美无缺?”
Book 2
New Horizon College English
Unit 7
Para. 9 “这在职业女性中是很常见的原因。她
们觉得要让人人感到她们无所不能， 而且要把
样样事情都做得完美无缺。她们认为，‘我应
该这样，我必须这样，我不得不这样。’追求
完美永无止境。完美主义者事必躬亲。他们生
气是因为他们不得不把什么事情都扛在自己肩
上，还为之发脾气。随后他们就感到内疚，接
着他们就再把整个过程重复一遍。”
Book 2
New Horizon College English

Para. 10 “还有的人生气是因为他们
的生活没有方向。他们把交通阻塞看

果你生气超过5分钟 如果你生闷

就必须弄清你为何生气。”

Para. 11 “此时就会发生这种情况人们
由于心理压力在生理上变得越发激动，他们

Para. 13 埃利奥特建议人们控制自己的生活。
“如果有什么能取代压力，那就是控制。你所需

指新的、使人感兴趣的、有挑战性的经历。”
Para. 14 “你必须确定你能控制自己生活中的哪
些部分，”他说：“停下你的脚步，对自己说，
‘我要把指南针拿出来，弄明白自己需要什
么。’”
Book 2
New Horizon College English
Unit 7
Para. 15 他建议人们写下他们觉得自己
生活中最重要的、最想做成的6件事。
本·富兰克林在32岁时就是这样做的。
“他写下了他想要做的事情，诸如要做
一个更慈爱的父亲、更体贴的丈夫、经
济上独立、思维上活跃，而且还要保持
性情平和——这一点他也做得不好。”
Book 2
New Horizon College English
Unit 7
Para. 16 埃利奥特说，你可以先列出12件事，
然后压缩到6件，要确定轻重缓急。“别让自己
去做不可能做到的事。要做那些会影响你的个
性、控制能力和自我价值的事情。”
Para. 17 “把它们记在一张可以随身携带的卡片
上，需要的时候看看。既然我们无法让一天有
26个小时，我们就得确定先做哪些事情。”
Book 2
New Horizon College English
Unit 7
Para. 18 请记住：随着时间的推移，优先
要做的事会有所改变。“孩子会长大，狗
会死去，你所优先考虑做的事也会改变。”
Para. 19 根据埃利奥特的观点，控制压力
的另一关键因素是“要承认你生活中还有
一些棘手的、你几乎无法或完全无法控制
的东西——比如经济以及政客们。”
