TEXT
There is a famous expression in English: "Stop the
world, I want to get off!" This expression refers to a
feeling of panic, or stress, that makes a person want
to stop whatever they are doing, try to relax, and
become calm again. 'Stress' means pressure or
tension. It is one of the most common causes of health
problems in modern life. Too much stress results in
physical, emotional, and mental health problems.
There are numerous physical effects of stress. Stress
can affect the heart. It can increase the pulse rate,
make the heart miss beats, and can cause high blood
pressure. Stress can affect the respiratory system. It
can lead to asthma. It can cause a person to breathe
too fast, resulting in a loss of important carbon
dioxide. Stress can affect the stomach. It can cause
stomach aches and problems digesting food. These
are only a few examples of the wide range of illnesses
and symptoms resulting from stress.
Emotions are also easily affected by stress. People
suffering from stress often feel anxious. They may
have panic attacks. They may feel tired all the time.
When people are under stress, they often overreact to
little problems. For example, a normally gentle parent
under a lot of stress at work may yell at a child for
dropping a glass of juice. Stress can make people angry, moody, or nervous.
Long-term stress can lead to a variety of serious
mental illnesses. Depression, an extreme feeling of
sadness and hopelessness, can be the result of
continued and increasing stress. Alcoholism and
other addictions often develop as a result of overuse
of alcohol or drugs to try to relieve stress. Eating
disorders, such as anorexia, are sometimes caused by
stress and are often made worse by stress. If stress is
allowed to continue, then one's mental health is put at
risk.
It is obvious that stress is a serious problem. It attacks
the body. It affects the emotions. Untreated, it may
eventually result in mental illness. Stress has a great
influence on the health and well-being of our bodies,
our feelings, and our minds. So, reduce stress: stop
the world and rest for a while.

is caused by stress.

effective teachers in bilingual education programs in California and Hawaii, for example, Tikunoff (1985) observed teachers to find out
how they organize instruction, structure teaching activities, and enhance student performance on tasks.”

TEXTIII
BABIES CAN LINK LANGUAGE AND ETHNICITY
Arecent study from Canada's University of British Columbia (UBC) suggests that eleven-month-old infants can learn to associate the
language they hear with ethnicity.
The research, published by Developmental Psychobiology, found that 11-month-old infants looked more at the faces of people of
Asian descent compared to those of Caucasian descent when hearing Cantonese but not when hearing Spanish.
“Our findings suggest that by 11 months, infants are making connections between languages and ethnicities based on the individuals
they encounter in their environments. In learning about language, infants are doing more than picking up sounds and sentences—they
also learn about the speakers of language,” said Lillian May, a psychology lecturer at UBC who was lead author of the study.
The research was done in Vancouver, where approximately nine percent of the population can speak Cantonese.
The researchers played English-learning infants of Caucasian ancestry sentences in both English and Cantonese and showed them
pictures of people of Caucasian descent, and of Asian descent. When the infants heard Cantonese, they looked more at the Asian faces
than when they were hearing English. When they heard English, they looked equally to Asian and Caucasian faces.
“This indicates that they have already learned that in Vancouver, both Caucasians and Asians are likely to speak English, but only
Asians are likely to speak Cantonese,” noted UBC psychology professor Janet Werker, the study's senior author.
The researchers showed the same pictures to the infants while playing Spanish, to see whether they were inclined to associate any
unfamiliar language with any unfamiliar ethnicity. However, in that test the infants looked equally to Asian and Caucasian faces. This
suggests young infants pick up on specific language-ethnicity pairings based on the faces and languages they encounter.
“Babies are learning so much about language—even about its social use—long before they produce their first word,” said Werker. “The
link between speaker characteristics and language is something no one has to teach babies. They learn it all on their own.” “The ability
to link language and ethnicity might help babies with language acquisition. We are now probing this possibility. For example, does a
bilingual Chinese-English baby expect Chinese words from a Southeast Asian speaker and English words from a Caucasian speaker?
Our preliminary results indicate that indeed, babies are using their expectations about language and ethnicity as another source of
information in language learning,” added Werker.

Should children watch toy unboxing videos?
Children around the world are currently trying to decide which toys
to put on their Christmas list. Some browse catalogues for
inspiration or look in toy shops and watch TV adverts, while others
are turning to toy unboxing videos to make up their minds. What
is the appeal of these videos, and are they in any way harmful?
For nine-year-old Verity, the unboxing videos have been a great
way to work out which toys she really wants this Christmas. In
these videos, children, or in some cases just a pair of hands, take
toys out of their packaging and play with them.
Verity particularly likes watching Shopkins, Lego and Harry Potter
toys being opened on YouTube, which is the main platform for this
type of content. "It gives you more information than just seeing an
advert. It's more interesting because these videos give you more
details about how something works and then they show you how
it works."
Verity, who lives in St Albans in Hertfordshire, also likes to make
her own videos, but only for family and friends to watch. "I don't
want everybody to see them because they might make fun of them
and make bad comments," she says. "People can be mean."
