The rich man knew what his servant did, but he had never caught his servant doing that. One morning, when he left home, he said to the servant, ―Here are two bottles of poison (毒药) and some nice food in the house. You must take of them.‖ With these words, he went out. But the servant knew that the rich man had said was untrue. After the rich man was away from his home, he enjoyed a nice meal. Because he drank too much, he was drunk and fell to the ground. When the rich man came back, he couldn’t find his food and his wine. He became very angry. He woke the servant up. But the servant told his story very well. He said a cat had eaten up everything.

It is worthwhile to consider, therefore, what are the causes of stress in our life, and whether we can do anything about them. Are we under-employed, or overburdened with too many responsibilities? Do we have a right balance of work and leisure in our lives? Are our relationships with family, friends or fellow workers all they should be? All these things can be a cause of stress, and it is best to face them honestly, and to bring our frustrations into the open. People who have a good row and then forget it are doing their health more good than those who bottle up their feelings. If our self-examination has brought any causes of stress to light, let us consider what we can do about them. It is possible to change jobs. We can make more leisure and fill it more happily, if we will accept a different living standard. We can improve our personal relationships by a different attitude. It is we who allow other people to make ourselves unhappy. Often the little things that disturb us are not worth an hour’s anger. The teaching in the Bible ―Let not the sun go down upon your wrath‖ is good advice from the health point of view as well as the religious. Which of the following statements is true? A. Freedom from responsibilities helps relieve stress. B. Stress is the direct cause of cancer. C. The causes of stress are worthy of serious study. D.
