6. Job Stress

Stress is another factor that can lead to illness. It’s not that stress causes a cold or a flu, but it can lower your body’s resistance by depressing the immune system. For many, a major source of daily stress is their jobs, and stress levels can be particularly high in a big city emergency room, like this one. And unfortunately, catching a cold is the least of

a stressed-out worker’s worries. … More?

What causes stress at work?What causes stress at work?

Recent research finds that today’s working

people, though exposed to less physical

stress, are experiencing much more

psychological stress than ever in history.

The factors for such stress can be listed as

follows: (1) The demand of your job;

Book 2

Unit 7


(2) The control staff have over how you do

your work; (3) The support you receive from

your colleagues and superiors; (4) Your

relationship with your colleagues; (5)

Whether you understand your roles or your

responsibilities; (6) High staff turnover;

Book 2

(7) Lack of communication with your

fellows; (8) Lack of feedback on

performance; (9) Radical changes in

technology; (10) Inadequate awareness of

roles and responsibilities; (11) Lack of skills

as required at work.

How to tackle the stress at work?How to tackle the stress at work?

How to cope with work-oriented stress, therefore, should call for more and more of our concern. As shown in the video, hugging each other in the morning is just one way of keeping under control the stress in the workplace. The manager here focuses on keeping workers happy to relieve their psychological burden.

Book 2

Unit 7


So good relations improve the working environment and lighten the stress. Besides, holding an interesting and rewarding job enables one to cope with stress. Finally, enhancement of skills as required in particular tasks, cultivation of team spirit, and tolerance of fellows’ personalities can be strong preventive measures to help one avoid the serious health consequences of stress.

Lighten Your Load and Save Your LifeLighten Your Load and Save Your Life

Para. 1 If you often feel angry and overwhelmed, like the stress in your life is spinning out of control, then you may be hurting your heart. Para. 2 If you don’t want to break your own heart, you need to learn to take charge of

your life where you can—and recognize there are many things beyond your control.

句型

Book 2

Unit 7


Para. 3 So says Dr. Robert S. Eliot, author of

a new book titled From Stress to Strength:

How to Lighten Your Load and Save Your

Life. He’s a clinical professor of medicine at

the University of Nebraska. Para. 4 Eliot says there are people in this

world that he calls “hot reactors”. For these

people, being tense may cause tremendous

and rapid increases in their blood pressure.

Book 2

Unit 7


Para. 5a Eliot says researchers have found

that stressed people have higher

cholesterol levels, among other things.

“We’ve done years of work in showing that

excess alarm or stress chemicals can

literally burst heart muscle fibers.

Book 2

Unit 7


Para. 5b When that happens it happens

very quickly, within five minutes. It

creates many short circuits, and that

causes crazy heart rhythms. The heart

beats like a bag of worms instead of

a pump. And when that happens, we

can’t live.”

Book 2

Unit 7


Para. 6 Eliot, 64, suffered a heart attack at age 44. He attributes some of the cause to stress. For years he was a “hot reactor”. On the exterior, he was cool, calm and collected, but on the interior, stress was killing him. He’s now doing very well.

句型

Book 2

Unit 7


Para. 7 The main predictors of destructive

levels of stress are the FUD factors—fear,

uncertainty and doubt—together with

perceived lack of control, he says.

Para. 8 For many people, the root of their

stress is anger, and the trick is to find out

where the anger is coming from. “Does

the anger come from a feeling that

everything must be perfect?” Eliot asks.

句型

Book 2

Unit 7


Para. 9 “That’s very common in professional

women. They feel they have

to be all things to all people and do it all

perfectly. They think, ‘I should, I must, I

have to.’ Good enough is never good enough.

Perfectionists cannot delegate. They get

angry that they have to carry it all, and they

blow their tops. Then they feel guilty and they

start the whole cycle over again.”

Book 2

Unit 7


Para. 10 “Others are angry because they

have no compass in life. And they give

the same emphasis to a traffic jam that they

give a family argument,” he says. “If you are

angry for more than five minutes—if you stir

the anger within you and let it build with no

safety outlet—you have to find out where it’s

coming from.”

Book 2

Unit 7


Para. 11 “What happens is that the hotter

people get, physiologically, with mental

stress, the more likely they are to blow apart

with some heart problem.”

Para. 12 One step to calming down is to

recognize you have this tendency. Learn to

be less hostile by changing some of your

attitudes and negative thinking.

句型

Book 2

Unit 7


Para. 13 Eliot recommends taking charge of

your life. “If there is one word that should be

substituted for stress, it’s control. Instead of the

FUD factors, what you want is the NICE factors

new, interesting, challenging experiences.”

Para. 14 “You have to decide what parts of your

life you can control,” he says. “Stop where you

are on your trail and say, ‘I’m going to get my

compass out and find out what I need to do.’ ”

Book 2

Unit 7


Para. 15 He suggests that people write down the six things in their lives that they feel are the most important things they’d like to achieve. Ben Franklin did it at age 32. “He wrote down things like being a better father, being a better husband, being financially independent, being stimulated intellectually and remaining even-tempered—he wasn’t good at that.”

Book 2

Unit 7


Para. 16 Eliot says you can first make a list of 12 things, then cut it down to 6 and set your priorities. “Don’t give yourself impossible things, but things that will affect your identity, control and self-worth.”Para. 17 “Put them on a note card and take it with you and look at it when you need to. Since we can’t create a 26-hour day we have to decide what things we’re going to do.”

Book 2

Unit 7


Para. 18 Keep in mind that over time these

priorities are going to change. “The kids

grow up, the dog dies and you change your

priorities.”

Para. 19 From Eliot’s viewpoint, the other key to

controlling stress is to “realize that there are

other troublesome parts of your life over which

you can have little or no control—like the

economy and politicians”.

句型

句型

Book 2

Unit 7


Para. 20 You have to realize that

sometimes with things like traffic jams,

deadlines and unpleasant bosses, “You

can’t fight. You can’t flee. You have to

learn how to flow.”

Our down-scale clothing immediately drew prejudice. Some of the children we encountered stared, pointed, and laughed; adults gave us long, doubtful look.

减轻负担 , 拯救生命

Para. 1 如果你常常生气、身心疲乏，好像你生活中的压力正在快速地失去控制，那么你可能是在损害你的心脏了。Para. 2 假如你不想损害自己的心脏，你就需要努力学会在力所能及的范围内控制自己的生活——并且承认有许多东西你是无法控制的。

Book 2

Unit 7


Para. 3 这是罗伯特 ·S· 埃利奥特博士的观点。他是内布拉斯加大学的临床医学教授，新书《从压力到力量：怎样减轻你的负担，拯救你的生命》的作者。Para. 4 埃利奥特说在这个世界上有一类他称之为“热核反应堆式的人”（即易怒的人）。对这些人来说，紧张会导致他们血压大幅度迅速上升。

Book 2

Para. 5a 埃利奥特说，研究人员已经发现，有压力的人除了其他症状外，胆固醇的含量也较高。“我们已经做了多年研究，证明过分忧虑或紧张所产生的化学物质的确会损伤心肌纤维。。

Para. 5b 这种情况发生时往往很快，不到 5分钟。它会造成许多短路，而且这种短路会引起严重的心律不齐。心脏跳起来不像一个泵，而像一只装着蠕虫的袋子（杂乱而又绵软无力）。当这种情况发生时 , 我们就活不成了。”

Book 2

Para. 6 现年 64岁的埃利奥特，在 44

岁时曾有过一次心脏病发作，他把那次心脏病发作的部分原因归于压力。多年来，他一直是一个“热核反应堆式的人”。表面上，他显得沉着、冷静、泰然自若，但他内心深处的压力使他筋疲力尽。他现在身体状况很好。

Book 2

Unit 7


Para. 7 他说，压力破坏性程度的主要预测指标是 FUD 因素 FUD 指的是恐惧、犹豫和怀疑再加上可察觉到的缺乏控制力。Para. 8 对许多人来说，压力的根源是愤怒，而对付愤怒的诀窍是找出怒从何来。埃利奥特问道：“这种愤怒是否来自这么一种感觉：希望一切事物都必须完美无缺 ?”

Book 2

Unit 7


Para. 9 “ 这在职业女性中是很常见的原因。她们觉得要让人人感到她们无所不能，而且要把样样事情都做得完美无缺。她们认为，‘我应该这样，我必须这样，我不得不这样。’追求完美永无止境。完美主义者事必躬亲。他们生气是因为他们不得不把什么事情都扛在自己肩上，还为之发脾气。随后他们就感到内疚，接着他们就再把整个过程重复一遍。”

Book 2

Unit 7


Para. 10 “还有的人生气是因为他们的生活没有方向。他们把交通阻塞看得和家庭纠纷一样重，” 他说：“如果你生气超过 5分钟如果你生闷气，没有安全的发泄渠道的话

你就必须弄清你为何生气。”

Book 2

Unit 7


Para. 11 “此时就会发生这种情况人们由于心理压力在生理上变得越发激动，他们的身体就越可能因为某种心脏病而崩溃。” Para. 12 让自己平静下来的做法就是承认你存在这种倾向。通过改变你的某些看法和消极思想，学会对事物不再抱有那么强烈的敌视态度。

Book 2

Unit 7


Para. 13 埃利奥特建议人们控制自己的生活。“如果有什么能取代压力，那就是控制。你所需

要的不是 FUD 因素而是 NICE 因素 NICE

是指新的、使人感兴趣的、有挑战性的经历。” Para. 14 “ 你必须确定你能控制自己生活中的哪些部分，”他说：“停下你的脚步，对自己说，‘我要把指南针拿出来，弄明白自己需要什么。’”

Book 2

Unit 7


Para. 15 他建议人们写下他们觉得自己生活中最重要的、最想做成的 6件事。本 · 富兰克林在 32岁时就是这样做的。“他写下了他想要做的事情，诸如要做一个更慈爱的父亲、更体贴的丈夫、经济上独立、思维上活跃，而且还要保持性情平和——这一点他也做得不好。”

Book 2

Unit 7


Para. 16 埃利奥特说，你可以先列出 12件事，然后压缩到 6件，要确定轻重缓急。“别让自己去做不可能做到的事。要做那些会影响你的个性、控制能力和自我价值的事情。” Para. 17 “ 把它们记在一张可以随身携带的卡片上，需要的时候看看。既然我们无法让一天有26 个小时，我们就得确定先做哪些事情。”

Book 2

Unit 7


Para. 18 请记住：随着时间的推移，优先要做的事会有所改变。“孩子会长大，狗会死去，你所优先考虑做的事也会改变。” Para. 19 根据埃利奥特的观点，控制压力的另一关键因素是“要承认你生活中还有一些棘手的、你几乎无法或完全无法控制的东西——比如经济以及政客们。”
