It’s 2009. You feel sick, so you go to the doctor. She checks your fever, looks at your throat, and asks what you’ve been thinking about lately. When you leave，she gives you some medicine, but also a list of thinking skills that you are supposed to practice daily. She says that the way you think is causing some of your illness.
Doctors and other scientists who study the human mind and try to explain why people behave in the way that do, called psychologists, are starting to believe it. You know that your brain is connected to every part of your body through your nervous system(神经系统). Now scientists have proved that how you think and feel can have an influence on the health of your body.
Stress(压力，紧张) is caused whenever there is a problem or a change in your life. Of course, everybody has stress more or less; nobody’s life is perfect. In fact, stress is necessary. Without stress, we would never learn anything or grow or change. We would probably be bored to death. But too much stress can hurt you. It can weaken your body’s protection so that you are more likely to catch diseases. It can even make you more likely to have an accident.
When you feel stress, your brain sends a message to your body to produce a chemical called adrenaline(肾上腺素). Adrenaline speeds up your breathing and your heartbeat. Today you have a different kind of stress. Problems like endless homework or troubles with your family are the kind of things you can’t fight or run away from, so you don’t use up all that adrenaline. It just stays bottled up inside you, and that’s what can do something bad to you.
What can you do about stress? First, you can try to find ways to change things so you aren’t under so much stress. You can set up a plan to finish homework or go to a doctor or a psychologist to try to work things out with your family or your friends. But sometimes you can’t change a stressful situation. Sometimes you don’t even want to. A big change might be a good change, but it will still be stressful.
The link(关联) between your body and brain works in two ways. Your body can help your mind deal with stress. If you are under stress, you need to take especially good care of your body. It’s important to get enough sleep and eat nutritious meals. Some people take a vitamin-mineral pill every day. Another thing that you can do is daily exercise. If you go walking or do aerobic dancing or work out at the gym, you give your body a chance to burn up some of that adrenaline. Of course, a person who isn’t used to much physical activity should start slowly. Anyone with a continuing physical problem should check with a doctor before staring any exercise programs.
谁的医生和研究人的心灵，并尝试解释为什么人的方式行事那些被称为心理学家，也开始相信其他科学家。你知道你的大脑连接的神经系统，通过对身体的每个部分（神经系统）。现在，科学家已经证明，你认为如何和感觉可能对您的身体健康的影响。
压力（压力，紧张）是由于每当有问题，还是你的生活变化。当然，每个人都有或多或少的压力，任何人的生命是完美的。其实，压力是必要的。没有压力，我们永远不会学到任何东西，或增加或改变。我们很可能会百无聊赖。但是，太多的压力可以伤害你。

如果你去散步或做健美操或工作在健身房运动，你给你的身体有机会消耗掉这些肾上腺素一些。当然，一个人谁不是用多少的运动应该开始缓慢。以持续的物理问题的人，应该与医生检查前，凝视任何运动项目。
医生和其他科学家研究人类思想和试图解释为什么人们行为的方式做,称为心理学家,开始相信它。你知道你的大脑与身体的每一部分通过你的神经系统。现在科学家已证实你如何思考和感觉可以影响你的身体健康。
压力是导致一旦有什么问题或改变你的生活。当然,每个人都有压力或多或少;没有人的生活是完美的。事实上,压力是必要的。没有压力,我们永远不会学到任何东西或长或改变。我们可能会无聊死了。但是太多的压力会伤害你。它会降低身体的保护,从而使你更有可能感染疾病。它甚至可以让你更容易发生事故。
