38、u get enough sleep, eat properly, take more exercise and have enough fun time, you might feel stressed.1headache前加a考查冠词。句意：在你考试期间有过头疼吗？headache是可数名词，所以用单数，在headache前加a。2tooso考查固定句型。句意：你是否曾经太过担心一些事情，以至于晚上睡不着觉？so . that “太以至于”，该句型是固定句型，所以将too改为so。3thatwhat考查宾语从句的连接词。动词know后面的部分为宾语从句，连接词作is的表语，且表示“什么”，
39、故将know后面的that改为what。4去掉them考查非限制性定语从句。“which we need to take seriously”是非限制性定语从句，关系词在从句中作take的宾语，them多余，故去掉。5ThereforeHowever考查副词。句意：然而，并不是所有的压力都对我们有害。此处表示“然而”，是语意上的转折，所以将Therefore改为However。6wasis考查动词的时态。描述客观事实应用一般现在时，故将was改为is。7dodone考查宾语补足语。句意：有些压力能够让你把事情做得更好。things和do之间是被动关系，应用过去分词作宾补，即get sth. done结构，故将do改为done。8ofto考查介词。approach作“方式；方法”讲，其后通常与“to”搭配，表示“的方法”，故将of改为to。9balancebalanced考查形容词。句意：最好的减压方法就是有一个平衡的生活。这里修饰名词life，用形容词balanced “平衡的”，所以将balance改为balanced。10moreless考查副词。句意：如果你获得足够的睡眠，饮食合理，参加更多的运动，并且有足够的娱乐时间，你可能会更少地感觉到压力。此处表示“更少地”，所以将第二个more改为less。
