“Rest, relaxation, and stress reduction are very important for people’s wellbeing and health. This can be accomplished through daily activities, such as exercise and meditation, but vacation is an important part of this as well, ” said primary care physician Natasha Withers from One Medical Group in New York. Withers lists a decreased risk of heart disease and improved reaction time as some of the benefits from taking some time off.“We also know that the mind is very powerful and can help with healing,so a rested,relaxed mind is able to help the body heal better, ” said Withers.
Psychologists confirm the value of vacations for the mind.“The impact that taking a vacation has on one’s mental health is great, ” said Francine Lederer, a clinical psychologist in Los Angeles who specializes in stress and relationship management.“Most people have better life perspective and are more motivated to achieve their goals after a vacation,even if it is a 24hour timeout.” The trips could be good for their health, good for their family and good for their businesses.
The online travel agency Expedia conducted a survey about vacation time in 2010, and according to their data the average American earned 18 vacation days—but only used 14 of them. France topped the list, with the average worker earning 37 vacation days and using all but two of them. Americans’ responses may not be surprising in a culture where long hours on the job often are valued, but that’s not always good for the individual, the family or the employer.
Psychologists have also found that people who don’t take enough time to relax may find it harder to relax in the future.“Without time and opportunity to do this,the nerve connections that produce feelings of calm and peacefulness become weaker, making it actually more difficult to shift into lessstressed states, ” Mulhern said.

听力原文: Anyone who's been married has the experience of arguing with your spouse. Those romantic days of courtship have given way to arguing about doing the dishes and taking out the garbage. But, as any marriage advisor will tell you, (32) at least some fighting is a healthy part of a relationship.
According to a study done by researchers at Ohio State University, though, marital stress has its downside as well. According to the study, the stress that a married couple experiences during a typical argument can slow the body's power to heal wounds by up to two days.
(33) The study involved forty two married couples who'd been together for an average of twelve years. First, each spouse was given small wounds on their arms and took tests to determine their stress levels. Then they were videotaped while having a supportive discussion about their relationship.
Two months later the couples were again given small wounds and this time videotaped while discussing something more emotionally tensional. (34) The researchers found that the wounds took one day longer to heal after the stressful discussion than they did after the supportive discussion. (35) Couples that had really hostile arguments took as long as two extra days to heal their wounds.
The researchers are still trying to determine why higher levels of stress slow the wound healing process. But the findings could be important in many ways. Hospitals, for example, might take more care to make hospital stays less stressful, so patients will heal faster.
32. What is the advisor's view about the arguments?
33.What kinds of persons are involved in the study?
