People with less education suffer fewer stressful days, according to a report in the current issue of the Journal of Health and Social Behavior.

However, the study also found that when less-educated people did suffer stress it was more severe and had a stronger effect on their health.

From this, researchers have concluded that the day-to-day factors that cause stress are regular. Where you are in society determines the kinds of problems that you have each day, and how well you will cope with them.

The research team interviewed a national sample of 1, 031 adults daily for eight days about their stress level and health. People without a high school diploma reported stress on 30 percent of the study days, people with a high school degree reported stress 38 percent of the time, and people with college degrees reported stress 44 percent of the time.

“Less advantaged people are less healthy on a daily basis and are more likely to have downward turns in their health.” leading researcher, Dr. Joseph Grzywacz of Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center, said in a prepared statement. “The downward turns in health were connected with daily stressors (緊張刺激物), and the effect of daily stressors on their health is much more damaging for the less advantaged. ”

“If something happens every day, maybe it’s not seen as a stressor.” Grzywacz says. “Maybe it is just life.”

1.Stress level is closely related to      ___     .

 C. People with high school degrees.                            D. People with college degrees.

3.The less advantaged people are, the greater            .

A. the effect of stress on their health is                      B. the degree of their health concern is

C. the level of their education is                                D. the effect of education on their health is

4.Less-educated people report fewer days of stress possibly because          .

A. they don’t want to tell truth                                  B. they don’t want to face the truth

In today’s world， middle-class American and British parents treat their children as if they are competitors racing for some finishing line.

　　Parents take their children from activity to activity in order to make their future bright. It seems that raising a genius has become a more important goal than raising a happy and well-balanced child.

　　"Doctors across the country are reporting a growing number of children suffering from stomachaches and headaches due to exhaustion and stress, "says child expert William Doherty of the University of Minnesota.

　　Teachers are dealing with exhausted kids in the classroom. It’s a very serious problem.

Many children attend after-school clubs by necessity. But competitive pressures also create an explosion of activities. They include sports， language， music and math classes for children as young as four.

　　"There is a new parenting trend under way which says that you have to tap all your child’s potential at a young age; otherwise you will let him down，" says Terry Apter， a Cambridge-based child and adolescent psychiatrist（青少年精神病專家）.“It isn’t entirely new: there have always been pushy parents. But what was previously seen as strange behavior is now well accepted.”
