英语晨读：当你有压力时

 　　Refuel tempted¹ to skip meals and pull late nights when you feel the heat at your work? Both could lead to burnout. Get six to eight hours of sleep and go to bed at the same hours every night. Aovid big meals but high-cabon, low-fat snacks every few hours. Lay off the alcohol, which could disturb your sleep patterns.
