Many doctors believe that learning to relax in order to relieve day – to – day tension could one day save your life. In our fast – paced world, it is almost impossible to avoid building up tension from stress. All of us confront stress daily: anything that places an extra demand on us causes stress.

If our tension is not relieved, it can start numourous reactions, both physical and psychological. Yet, we can learn to cope with stress effectively and to avoid its consequences. How? By relaxing in the face of the stress. According to researcher Hans Selye of the University of Montreal, the effects of stress depend not on what happens to us, but on the way we react. In times of stress, taking a few moments to sit quietly and relax can make anyone feel better. 1. According to the passage, what causes stress ? ________________________________ 2.
