26、e. Of course, everybody has stress more or less; nobodys life is perfect. In fact, stress is necessary. Without stress, we would never learn anything or grow or change.

30、 will still be stressful.The link(关联) between your body and brain works in two ways. Your body can help your mind deal with stress. If you are under stress, you need to take especially good care of your body. Its important to get enough sleep and eat nutritious meals. Some people take a vitamin-mine
31、ral pill every day. Another thing that you can do is daily exercise. If you go walking or do aerobic dancing or work out at the gym, you give your body a chance to burn up some of that adrenaline. Of course, a person who isnt used to much physical activity should start slowly. Anyone with a continui

36、hich usually has a bath. Meals are not provided, but there will certainly be a cafeteria (自助餐馆). Americans eat a lot of salads and sandwiches. Along the main roads there are a lot of motels. Each tries to offer more than next. Some provide television in every bedroom; others have swimming pools; and
37、 so on. Motels are especially useful when you are in the country, far from a town or city.
