Step 2 Eating RightEating a balanced diet will not only make you feel better it will r elieve some of the stress and certainly won't add to it.When you eat a diet high in sugars，cholesterol，and fat，you add to the trauma in your system.Concentrate on a high pr otein，veggie，fruit diet and you will see remarkable improvements.Also whole grains promote production of the brain neurotransmitter seroton in for a greater sense of well－being.When you combine healthier eating with exercise your bo dy will respond favorably and the stress levels will start to decre ase.Step 3 Change Your MindsetIf you walk around all day saying “I'm so stressed”，you will be.Positive thinking is crucial to relieving the mental str ess.Our minds are so powerful that we can actually increase ou r stress by the way we think and the things we speak.If you dev elop a new mindset that is positive in nature and optimistic，studies have shown this to be a reliever of stress.Meditation is a prime way to change your mindset and refocus on the positiv es and what is really important.Try yoga or visualization imager y to assist.Ⅱ.Reasons Why People Find Relief in SmokingSmoking is a harmful habit and makes one addicted once they start doing it.However，what are the reasons why people still continue to smoke？These people know the harmful and if long term，even life threatening effects of smoking but it seems nobody he eds the warning.The number of teenagers smoking today has increased tremen dously.Their parents do their best to stop them from starting the habit；however，most of them are unsuccessful.Teenagers experience a feeling of isolation.It is the time that they are confused which role to tak e in society.Most of them usually have identitycrisis at this age and smoking makes them feel better.Once they start smoking，they soon love the feeling of contentment it brings them.Thus，they continue doing it.Peer pressure is also a great factor to this .A teenager would like to belong to a group.Being alone and no friends when you are a teenager is hard.Having some people to support you and accompany you in any social activity feels great.At this stage，teenagers feel their parents don't understand them.Everything t hat their parents tell them and do is against their will.They still c an't understand all the things their parents are doing for them w hich are for their own good.Those who are non－smokers are often convinced by smokers to engage in this activ ually，they would smoke and drink overnight.Teenagers feel that if the y won't join the group，they would losetheir friends and will be left alone in which they don't want to h appen.This is the reason why they continue smoking to be accepted by t ter in life when they finally decide to stop，it becomes hard as they are already addicted to it.There are also some people who smoke because of the nature of their jobs.Those who work in a very cold area or at sea smok e to keep their bodies warm.At this time，smoking brings them good benefits.Call center agents and thos e who work at night love drinking their favorite cup of coffee and smoking at the same time while waiting for their shift at work.T his is to keep them awake and attentive to answering their clien ts and finishing their assigned task.However，they don't consider the long term ill effects of smoking.Smoking is addictive.Smokers are also those who are experiencing feelings of depre ssion.They find it hard to face the challenges life brings most es pecially if their problems are too hard to handle.They feel that w hat can make them feel better is by smoking and drinking.Yes ，it is true that smoking could make them feel better but it is just a temporary feeling of relief.Period4 ListeningandSpeaking教学内容分析The emphasis ofthis period will be placed on listening and speaking.There are altogether three texts for the stud ents to listen to in this period：one is in the Student's Book and the other two are in the Workbook.The first one(on Page 23，Listening and speaking)is a dialogue between two girls—Tina and Sara.Tina wants Sara to go to a disco with her，but Sara is nervous about going because she is afraid that it would not be safe to attend such a social gathering.So Tina is giving Sara some advice about how to remain safe at a social gather ing where alcohol and drugs may be present.The second one(on Page 55，Listening)is a conversation between a doctor and a student.Li Yue is a high school student.She began to feel sick all the time during her final year.So she went to see the doctor and they are t alking about Li Yue's problems.And the third one(on Page 58，Listening Task)is a speech given by Li Yue which is about stress and how to avoid stress.三维目标设计Knowledge and skills1．To understand the
