  For years I've been telling people, stress makes you sick. It increases the __2__ of everything from the common cold to cardiovascular(心血管的) disease. __3__ , I've turned stress into the __4__ . But I have changed my __5__ about stress, and today, I want to change yours.

People who experienced a lot of stress in the previous year had a 43 percent __10__ risk of dying. But that was only __11__ for the people who also __12__ that stress is harmful to their health. People who experienced a lot of stress but did not __13__ stress as harmful were no more __14__ to die. In fact, they had the __15__ risk of dying, __16__ people who had relatively little stress. Now the researchers estimated that over the eight years they were tracking deaths, 182,000 Americans died prematurely(过早), not from stress, __17__ from the belief that stress is bad for them. That is over 20,000 deaths a year.
