IV. A new ruling which came into effect last week requires some homeowners to purchase new
smoke alarms. The ordinance states that there should be a fire alarm installed in every bedroom
of the house, and these alarms must comply with certain safety standards. Some local residents
are displeased at these new regulations. Gwen Ellis of McKinley says that to meet with the new
regulations, she has to buy five new alarms to replace the ones she installed just six months ago.
With fire alarms costing up to $20 apiece, this is an unwelcome ruling for many people.
Fortunately, the McKinley Fire Department is offering grants for homeowners and will provide
and install new fire alarms free of charge. If you have small children or are older than 65 years of
age, you may be eligible for these. The McKinley Fire Department has 5,000 smoke alarms to

VI. Do you feel stressed? Chances are, you do. Levels of stress in our society are increasing more
and more these days, and this is true for both workers and students. There are a number of ways
you can relieve stress, but there are also several ways in which you can avoid stress in the first
place, and this article will focus on these. Here are four things you should avoid like the plague if
you want to develop a more peaceful lifestyle.
What’s the first thing you do when you get home after a stressful day at work or college?
Many of us collapse on the couch and reach for the TV remote. Don’t do it! Not only does the TV
fill your living room with the stressful lives of on-screen characters, think about commercials.
The aim of advertising is to make people feel that their lives are inadequate and unfulfilled. They
often bring out negative emotions in viewers.
And while we are on the subject of television, have you noticed how much of the news we
watch is bad news? Research states that over 90% of the news we watch, read or hear on the
radio is bad news. In order to sell stories, the media bombard us with negative story after negative
story. What is more, the stories which are reported are often ones which you have no control over,
and this leads to a sense of powerlessness. Why not buy a local paper instead? The news is often
far more optimistic, and you may be inspired to take action in a way that can have a positive
effect on your own neighbourhood.
Avoiding television may also help you avoid another sort of stress – arguments. How often
do you and your family row about what to watch on the television? Arguments will never help
you feel better, and no-one ever wins an argument. When you feel that an argument is brewing,
go for a walk or find a quiet place where you calm down, or you will only prolong the tension.
The last thing to avoid is caffeine. Anything which contains caffeine, and that includes
coffee, tea, chocolate and even a nice soothing cup of cocoa, is a stimulant, and is more likely to
keep you tense than relax you. Sugary drinks are also going to keep you buzzing. Have a cup of
herbal tea and eat foods which are natural rather than processed.
19. What is the text about?
A. Ways to relieve stress
B. How to prevent stress
C. Reasons why stress levels are increasing
D. The consequences of a stressful lifestyle
