  Certainly dustmen prefer to be known as“Refuse Collection and Disposal Officers”.You may think that this is rather silly, and that it is better to call a spade.But dustmen can be just as sensitive as people of any other occupations, though we must admit that their job is not the most romantic one in the world.We often take dustmen for granted.Perhaps because they usually come very early in the morning, before most people are up, we are inclined to forget that they exist.Our dustbins are emptied regularly, but we rarely stop to think about the men who do this.However, it is one of the most important jobs in the world, and when there are no dustmen ________, the general public soon becomes aware that something is wrong.

  Recently, the dustmen of England went on strike for higher wages.During the first few days it was regarded as a joke.For some reason, jokes have always been made about dustmen, and some people thought this strike was very amusing.But when the first two weeks had passed, and the dustbins were overflowing in nearly every backyard in the country, the joke did not seem so funny any more.As the strike continued, people could not bear the accumulation of rubbish around their dustbins, and they looked for other places in which to get rid of it.Even when the strike was over, and the wages dispute had been settled, it took several weeks for the country to get cleaned up completely, as so much rubbish had accumulated.Perhaps now the English people appreciate the work of their dustmen rather more highly, and won't take them for granted any more.

  While it is impossible to live completely free of stress, it is possible to prevent stress as well as reduce its effect when it can’t be avoided.The US Department of Health and Human Services offers the following suggestions for ways to deal with stress.

  ◆Try physical activity

  When you are nervous, angry or upset, try releasing the pressure through exercise or physical activity.Running, waling, playing tennis, or working in your garden are just some of the activities you might try.

  ◆Take care of yourself

  You should make every effort to eat well and get enough rest.If you easily get angry and can’t sleep well enough, or if you’re not eating properly, it will be more likely that you will fall into stressful situations.If stress repeatedly keeps you from sleeping, you should consult a doctor.

  ◆Make time for yourself

  Schedule time for both work and entertainment.Don’t forget, play can be just as important to your overall well-being as work.You need a break from your daily routine to just relax and have fun.Go window-shopping or work on a hobby.Allow yourself at least a half hour each day to do something you enjoy.

  ◆Make a list of things to do

  Stress can result from disorganization and a feeling that“there’s so much to do, and not enough time”.Trying to take care of everything at once can be too much for you and as a result, you may not achieve anything.Instead, make a list of everything you have to do, then ________, checking off each task as it is completed.Set out to do the most important task first.
