How to tell if you're living with 'quiet stress'
如何知道你是否正忍受着“静默压力”
The term "quiet stress" (静默压力)is gathering pace among experts, 1_____say it’s an often overlooked form of the more 2_____(wide) known version, which is characterised by visible outbursts: fraying tempers(坏脾气), swearing, shouting, and anger.
“We quietly hold our stress within: we don’t speak up about 3____ we feel. And crucially, we become inert(怠惰). We stay in unhappy relationships and unfulfilling jobs. We feel overwhelmed, yet ignore important admin tasks. Quiet stress creates a form of emotional paralysis 4_____ keeps us ‘stuck’ in unhappy situations,” says Jillian Lavender, who runs the London Meditation Centre.
Cary Cooper, a professor of psychology and health at the University of Manchester, likens the effects of quiet stress to shrapnel(弹片): “You can learn to quieten your stress responses, but eventually the stress will emerge: as well as a suppressed immune system, you may withdraw socially, isolate 5____(you) and begin to engage in unhealthy habits like comfort eating or drinking too much. Despite getting a bad rap over the years, 6_____(express) anger or frustration is far 7_____(healthy) than smiling sweetly while feeling quietly stressed.”
A recent study from Stanford University in the US backs this theory up. The researchers found that seeing stress as a helpful part of dealing with life’s challenges, rather 8____ as something to be avoided, 9_____(associate) with better health, emotional wellbeing and productivity at work.
“Stress isn’t always harmful,” said Kelly McGonigal, a business school lecturer at Stanford who worked on the study. “Once you appreciate that going through stress makes you better at it, it can be easier 10_____(face) each new challenge.”

Here’s how to keep screens from ruining your vision
如何防止屏幕损害视力?
Laboratory studies have shown that prolonged 1____(expose) to high-intensity blue light damages retinal cells (视网膜细胞) in mice. But epidemiological(流行病学) studies on real people tell a different story.
So, why the disconnect between blue light’s effects 2____ rodent eyes(啮齿动物) and human eyes
Human eyes are different from rodent eyes. We have protective 3_____(element), such as macular pigments(黄斑色素) and the natural blue-blocking ability of the crystalline lens(晶状体). These structures absorb blue light before it reaches the delicate retina.
Just because blue light isn’t harming your retina doesn’t mean your electronic devices are 4_____(harm). Because of its wavelength, blue light does disrupt healthy sleep physiology(生理规律).
Mounting evidence 5____(suggest) that screen time before bed increases the time it takes to fall asleep. It also robs you of restorative(恢复精力的) rapid-eye-movement sleep, dulls focus, and diminishes brain activity 6_____ next day.
There are ways to make your screen viewing more comfortable and more conducive to sleep.
First, turn off your electronic devices before bed. Outside of the bedroom, when you do look at your screens, 7_____(low) the brightness.
Second, follow the “20-20-20” rule. The American Optometric Association defines this rule 8_____ taking a 20-second break every 20 minutes to look at something 20 feet in the distance. This will allow your eyes 9____(blink) and relax.
Third, use lubricating eye drops(润滑型眼药水) before extended computer use. This tactic will reinforce the body’s 10_____(nature) tears and keep the eye’s surface hydrated(湿润的).
