Answer the questions according to the following text.
Read the article and then answer the questions.
The Effects of Stress

There is a famous expression in English: "Stop the world, I want to get off!" This
expression refers to a feeling of panic, or stress, that makes a person want to stop
whatever they are doing, try to relax, and become calm again. 'Stress' means pressure or
tension. It is one of the most common causes of health problems in modern life. Too much
stress results in physical, emotional, and mental health problems.
There are numerous physical effects of stress. Stress can affect the heart. It can increase
the pulse rate, make the heart miss beats, and can cause high blood pressure. Stress can
affect the respiratory system. It can lead to asthma. It can cause a person to breathe too
fast, resulting in a loss of important carbon dioxide. Stress can affect the stomach. It can
cause stomach aches and problems digesting food. These are only a few examples of the
wide range of illnesses and symptoms resulting from stress.
Emotions are also easily affected by stress. People suffering from stress often feel anxious. They may have panic
attacks. They may feel tired all the time. When people are under stress, they often overreact to little problems. For
example, a normally gentle parent under a lot of stress at work may yell at a child for dropping a glass of juice. Stress
can make people angry, moody, or nervous.
Long-term stress can lead to a variety of serious mental illnesses. Depression, an extreme feeling of sadness and
hopelessness, can be the result of continued and increasing stress. Alcoholism and other addictions often develop as a
result of overuse of alcohol or drugs to try to relieve stress. Eating disorders, such as anorexia, are sometimes caused
by stress and are often made worse by stress. If stress is allowed to continue, then one's mental health is put at risk.
It is obvious that stress is a serious problem. It attacks the body. It affects the emotions. Untreated, it may eventually
result in mental illness. Stress has a great influence on the health and well-being of our bodies, our feelings, and our
minds. So, reduce stress: stop the world and rest for a while.
