If you feel stressed, what should you do? What you see, hear, taste, smell, and touch affects your stress level. The following are tips on how to please your senses to reduce stress.
Touch
①There are many_______ to please your _______of touch. For example: Give or receive a message. Pet your cat or dog. Hug somebody you love.
Hearing
②Reduce the noise around you and listen to relaxing music. Music is soothing (让人感到安慰的). CDs are available that offer sounds of nature to quiet the soul.
Sight
Why do we go on vacation? Usually because we need to relax, and see something new or different. Most of us live in crowded cities where our neighbors are within easy reach. We're surrounded by buildings or highways—-not pretty sights. To please your eyes, go and find something beautiful and enjoy the view.
Taste
When you have a meal, do simply that: have the meal. Turn off the television, hang up the phone, stop working and focus only on the taste of the food you're eating. You'll enjoy your food so much more if you concentrate on enjoying it.
Smell
Burn scented (芬芳的) candles. Aromatherapy (芳香疗法) scents have been proven to be relaxing. Try some oil scents.

There are long rivers, and there are famous rivers. The Nile(尼罗河)is the world's longest and most famous river. It runs 6,650 kilometers. Crocodiles and hippos(河马)live in its waters. Pyramids built by ancient Egyptians rise along its banks.
The main branch of the Nile, the White Nile, starts just above Lake Victoria, the world's second largest fresh—water lake, in east central Africa. Then it flows to the north. At Sudan's capital, another great river called the Blue Nile joins the White Nile. Together, they form one very powerful river. Then it goes through Egypt's famous Nile Valley before reaching the Mediterranean Sea.
Ancient Egypt, the first great African civilization(文明), started along the banks of the Nile more than 5, 000 years ago. Ancient Egypt ruled the Nile Valley for thousands of years. Great pyramids and temples were built on the banks and we can still visit them today.
Without the rich farmland along the banks of the Nile, there might be no ancient Egypt civilization. Every year, the Nile flooded its banks. The floodwaters covered the banks with a rich soil. The Nile's banks were easy to farm and produce crops.
The Nile also made a perfect highway for boats. The river runs north, but the wind on the river blows south. To go south, boaters put up sails to catch the wind. To go north, they took the sails down. Ancient people traded along the river for hundreds of miles.
