【解析】

文章主要介绍压力对健康有很大影响，太多的压力会导致身体、情绪和精神上的健康问题。作者呼吁人们要减少压力放松一段时间。

【1】根据表格提示及文章第一段中“Stress is feelings of worry about your work or personal life.”可知，feelings of worry可转化为feel worried。故填worried。

【2】根据第一段倒数第二句“It is one of the most common causes of health problems in modern life.”压力是引起健康问题的最常见的原因之一，可知许多健康问题由压力引起的。故填health。

【3】根据表格提示以及第二段中“It can lead to asthma—a medical condition that makes breathing difficult.”，可知压力会使呼吸困难，句中的make breathing difficult可转化为have difficulty in breathing。故填difficulty。

【4】根据第二段中“It can cause stomach aches.”，可知压力会引发胃痛。故填stomach。

【5】根据第三段第一句“Emotions are also easily affected by stress.”，可知压力也会引发情绪问题。对应其他小标题“Physical problems”以及“Mental problems”都是形容词+problems结构，所以此空要填入emotion的形容词emotional，且首字母需要大写。故填Emotional。

【6】由第三段第二句以及第三句“People suffering from stress often feel worried. They may feel tired all the time.”，可知遭受压力的人会感觉担忧疲惫。故填tired。

【7】根据第三段中“When people are under stress... may shout at her child for dropping a glass of juice.”，可知有压力的人会对一些小事有过激反应，给出的例子家长因为孩子打翻果汁吼叫表现为生气发怒。故填angry。

【8】根据表格提示及第四段第二句“Depression, a very strong feeling of sadness and hopelessness”，可知，抑郁的人会感觉悲伤无助。故填hopeless。

【9】根据表格提示及第四段最后一句“If stress is allowed to go on, one’s mental health is in danger.”，可知如果压力继续精神健康将处于危险之中。继续go on=continue，从句用一般现在时，stress为不可数名词，所以continue要用第三人称单数形式continues。故填continues。

【10】根据文章最后一段“stress is a serious problem”以及“reduce stress”，可知后面给出的应是减少压力的解决方法或建议。解决方法solution；建议advice/suggestion，首字母需大写。故填Solution/Advice/Suggestion。
