Feeling stressed has almost become the norm(常态) for many busy American families. Although one kind of stress called 'eustress' can actually be positive( 积极的 ) and productive(有用的), many suffer far too often from negative stress. All that stress leads us to cope in unhealthy ways that take their toll on( 对 …… 造成伤害 ) overall health and well-being. Unfortunately, stress is not just a problem for adults. Teens are also vulnerable(易受伤害的) to stress and its effects.

The latest Stress in America Survey by the American Psychological Association (APA) polled(对……做民意调查) adults as well as 1,018 teens who live in the United States about stress over the previous month. While American adults report higher stress levels than what they believe to be healthy, the survey also shows the patterns of unhealthy stress behaviors we see in adults impact(影响) teens as well. According to the survey, many American teens report experiencing stress at unhealthy levels, appear uncertain in their stress management techniques and experience symptoms(症状) of stress in numbers that mirror adults' experiences. Stress during the teen years also seems to take a toll on activity, nutrition and lifestyle behaviors.

Stress impacts teens in many ways. The survey shows that 36% of teens report fatigue(feeling tired); 35% report lying awake at night; 32% report having headaches; and 23% report skipping a meal.

The report also shows that teens are less aware(有……的意识) than adults about the impact stress can have on their physical and mental health.

It's important that parents find ways to manage stress positively and productively. Because our kids see what we do and how we handle different situations and stressors, for better or worse, we need to model as best as we can positive ways of perceiving(认识) and coping with stress.

Staying physically active, engaging in exercise and sitting less can temper(缓和) stress. Finding activities we enjoy can help our hearts be healthier. Eating different kinds of nutrient-rich foods, for example, whole grains, fruits, vegetables and healthy fats throughout the day can help have mood-boosting. Connecting with others regularly, laughing and thinking can also help. Getting enough sleep by having regular bedtimes can also help us avoid fatigue.

A.Both adults and teens can be affected by stress.

B.It's not common to see stress in many busy American families.

Now, in the 21st century, there are lots of great inventions. 1. However, when we enjoy that, we should never forget those who devoted themselves to making people's life better in the 20th century.

2. Like many other famous inventors, they failed many times. However, they never gave up—even though almost no one was interested in what they were doing. For many times, they risked their lives to test their airplane.　 Finally, after lots of calculations and improvements, they succeeded.　

3. The invention led to a quantum leap in human history. From then on, better and safer airplanes have been invented and long flights have become increasingly convenient and comfortable. Round the world trips have become a reality. Without the Wright brothers, we might still have to spend days, weeks or even months travelling to distant places today.

The Wright brothers have also inspired generations of people to make great achievements in their own chosen fields. China, for example, had to depend on the West for its large passenger aircraft. Of course, our country didn't want to continue that way forever. With the same adventurous spirit as that of the Wright brothers, Chinese people kept trying and made great progress. Today, China has its own large passenger aircraft. 4.　

Thanks to the Wright brothers, humans realized the dream of flying. Till today, their experience still has a great influence on young people. 5. I think they are among the greatest people of the 20th century.
