　　What a vivid picture! Just as the picture depicts, there are so many things or desires that the man has to bear or to seek. And it is like him that almost every one of us feels exhausted. Every day we jump out of bed with the earsplitting ring of the alarm�瞔lock, swallow a quick breakfast and then rush to catch the bus. When arriving at the workplace, we have to work every minute to its full value until we drag home and throw ourselves deep into the sofa. The fast pace of modem life do bring us great pressure。

　　The first stress-maker is competition. Nowadays, many people, the strongly career�瞞inded ones in particular, are involved in a fierce competition for money, ranks, and fame. In the rat race, they try every means to stay on the top, and the fear to lose the game inevitably wrecks their peace of mind. The second, a reason closely related to the first one, is unhappy interpersonal relationships. Some people are so stupid at people skills that they always feel ill at ease when working with others. As a result, they can’t make themselves part of a group, and the loneliness greatly distress them。

　　How can we adapt ourselves to the stress then? Above all, we should develop a positive attitude towards competition. That is, competition is not the ultimate goal of life, but a driving force that motivates us to fulfill our dreams and to realize our personal values. On the other hand, it is demanding for us to keep people aware of the importance of developing a schedule which includes enough time for rest and other important values. (277 words)

　　這是一幅多么生動(dòng)的漫畫!如圖所示，一位男子身負(fù)如此多的事務(wù)與愿望。幾乎我們每個(gè)人都像他一樣感到疲憊。每天我們鬧鐘一響就起床，迅速地吞下早餐后就去趕公交車。到了單位以后，我們還要爭(zhēng)分奪秒地工作，直到我們拖著疲憊的身軀回家，癱倒在沙發(fā)上不想動(dòng)彈。城市生活的快節(jié)奏給我們帶來了巨大的壓力。

　　壓力首先來自于競(jìng)爭(zhēng)。當(dāng)前許多人陷入對(duì)金錢、地位與名聲的殘酷競(jìng)爭(zhēng)中，尤其是那些擁有強(qiáng)烈事業(yè)心的上班族。在這種殘酷的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)中，他們使出渾身解數(shù)力求成功，由于害怕在競(jìng)爭(zhēng)中失敗而無法保持平和的心態(tài)。第二個(gè)原因與前一個(gè)有關(guān)，即復(fù)雜的人際關(guān)系導(dǎo)致的壓力。一些人不善于為人處事，在與他人共事時(shí)常常感到困擾與不安。因此，他們因不能成為團(tuán)體中的一員而產(chǎn)生強(qiáng)烈的孤獨(dú)感。

　　那么，我們?nèi)绾芜m應(yīng)壓力呢?總的來說，我們應(yīng)該培養(yǎng)積極的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)態(tài)度，也就是說，競(jìng)爭(zhēng)并非生命的終極目標(biāo)，而只是實(shí)現(xiàn)我們夢(mèng)想與個(gè)人價(jià)值的動(dòng)力;另一方面，也要求人們認(rèn)識(shí)到合理安排休息時(shí)間與追求其他價(jià)值要保持平衡的重要性。
