Do you ever feel a stomachache during a test? Are you ever so worried about something that you even have a headache or can’t sleep at night? If so, then you know what stress is. Stress is what you feel when you are worried about something. You may feel angry, sad, scared, or afraid —all this can give you a stomachache or a headache.

There are different kinds of stress. Some kinds of stress are good and others are bad. Good stress may happen when someone asks you to answer questions in class or when you have to give a report. This kind of stress can help you to finish things better.

However, bad stress can happen if the stress lasts too long. You may not feel well if a family member is sick, if you’re having problems at school, or if anything else makes you upset every day. That kind of stress isn’t going to help you.

The best way to keep stress away is to have a balanced life. If you get enough sleep and food, and if you exercise and leave time for fun, you’ll feel less stressed.

　　My brother, Henry, has a very good job at a bank. I couldn't believe him when he told me that he had decided to leave there. I tried to make him change his mind, but I failed. “You should reconsider your decision (决定),” I said. “You have already spent five years in the bank and you could have a wonderful future (将来). You might become a bank manager (经理) by the time you are thirty-five.”

　　“I know,” Henry answered. “I have got no complaints (抱怨) with the bank. It is a pleasant job. The bank manager told me that my future was excellent (杰出的).”

　　“Then why do you want to leave?” I asked.

　　“It's the money,” Henry said.

　　“But you are getting a good salary (工资),” I answered.

　　“I don't mean that,” Henry said. “What do I do in the bank? Well, at the moment all I do is to count money. I find it very depressing (压抑).”

　　“What is depressing about counting money?” I asked.

　　“You don't understand,” Henry answered. “I enjoy counting my own money, but I hate counting other people's!
