It’s no surprise that people are stressed out these days. We’re struggling between jobs, financial problems, families and heath issues. But of all the people in America, one group stands out as the most stressed: women between the ages of 45 and 60. Are you wondering why? Here is the answer. Women of this age group are caught up with a storm of obligations, which make them less healthy than their mothers were at the same age. They work a full-time job, and meanwhile they take care of the kids and the elderly. They have a constant feeling that they’re never doing enough for others – children, husband, parents ... Hence, they seldom spare some time for themselves, which makes them the group who has the lowest well-being. The stress could have a bad effect on women. It may shave years off their lives. Women generally have an edge in living longer than males at every age span. But now the concern is that they may well lose this advantage and have a shorter lifespan than the aging relatives they’re taking care of. Is there anything that can be done to make life easier for these women? Medical experts made the following suggestions. They say women should take care of themselves first. It’s like flying on a plane. They need to put their own oxygen mask on first before they assist others. They also suggest that women can ask relatives or friends to help with child care or parental obligations rather than deal with everything all by themselves. And finally, women should take some time to have fun. For example, for at least one hour every day, they should do something for pleasure. All of these may create more happy time in their life and help them live longer.1.Which group of American women suffers the greatest stress?A) Women holding a full-time job.B) Women with financial problems.C) Women with family heath issues.D) Women aged between 45 and 60.2.Why does this group of women have the lowest well-being among all Americans?A) They have no spare time for their kids.B) They have many obligations to fulfill.C) They are less strong than their mothers.D) They are always worried about themselves.3.What may be a bad effect on women if they face too much stress?A) They may have a shorter lifespan.B) They may lose advantages in career.C) They may become more concerned about aging.D) They may have no time to care for their aging relatives.4.According to medical experts, what can this group of women do?A) Take all of their spare time for fun.B) Deal with everything all by themselves.C) Seek help from friends and relatives.D) Create more happy time for their parents.
