Tough adj. 艰难的

Unpredictable adj. 难以预料的

Upset v. adj. 难过、沮丧

Let’s face it:

Life is stressful. Stressful events in our lives are called “stressors”. Some of them are minor such as uncomfortable air conditioning or a loudly ringing telephone. Others are more serious such as the death of a spouse. That event tops the list as life’s most stressful event.

You might be surprised to learn about the top 20 life stressors. Getting a divorce for example is number 2 on the list. And not all stressors are unhappy events. Pregnancy is a happy time for most families. It may also cause stress. Pregnancy is right below retirement on the list of life’s major stressors.

We can’t avoid stress but we can do something about it. Listen to three people talking about their responses to stress in their lives.

Once a long time ago I went to a railway station. I planned to take the night train to NY and go on a journey with a friend. Many people were on the platform and they were all pushing onto the long passenger train. It was already full. I asked the man at the booking office if I could have two tickets. He answered sharply “No!” I felt hurt.

It was important for me to have the tickets.
