Stress is becoming an increasingly common feature of the workplace. Stress is a highly individual reaction, which varies considerably from person to person, and it is difficult for some employees to avoid it. Undoubtedly, changes in working conditions have led to greater pressure at work at all levels. However, stress in itself is not harmful. Everyone needs a certain level of stress to enable him or her to feel motivated and to perform effectively. A complete absence of stress can be as damaging as overstress, since it can make people lose interest in their work, and even lead to depression. The difficulties occur when the amount of stress rises above a level which is healthy for a particular individual. While it may not always be possible to prevent stress, there are a number of ways in which it can be controlled. The first thing that the trainees learn is how to manage their time effectively. This involves, first of all, setting realistic goals for both the short and long term. The trainees are also reminded that when they are under pressure the less important items should be left. The trainees are encouraged to avoid being defensive, but at the same time they are advised not to be afraid of saying ’no’. They are asked to give reasons only if necessary. They learn, for example, to remind themselves that nothing terrible happens when a demand is refused or a deadline missed. Life goes on. Which of the following statements is NOT true

A. People have different stress m work.
B. Stress always does harm to our work and health.
C. There has been a rise in stress at the workplace.
D. Sometimes stress cannot be completely prevented but it can be controlled.

A few years ago, at the Seattle Special Olympics, nine contestants, all physically or mentally disabled, assembled at the starting line for the 100-yard dash. At the gun, they all started out, not exactly in a dash, but with a relish to run the race to the finish and win. All, that is, except one little boy who stumbled on the asphalt, tumbled over a couple of times, and began to cry. The other eight heard the boy cry. They slowed down and looked back. Then they all turned around and went back. Every one of them. One girl in red jacket bent down and kissed him and said: "This will make it better." The rest of them helped the little boy rise on his knees and comforted him. Then all nine linked arms and walked together to the finish line. Everyone in the stadium stood, and the cheering went on for several minutes. People who were there are still telling the story. They are still moved as they are talking about it. Deep down we know this one thing. What matters for us in this life is more than winning for ourselves. What matters in this life is helping others win, even if it means slowing down and changing our course. Which of the following statements is NOT true

A. Every of the contestants wanted to win the race.
B. The nine contestants ran together to the finish.
C. All the other eight contestants helped the bey.
D. The story is still spreading among people.
