The two ferries sank in different rivers near the capital city of Dhakfi as strong winds and rain hit the South Asian country.
The government has since banned a11 ferries and other boats from traveling at night during the April-May stormy season. .
One of the ferries，MV Mitali，was carrying far more people than it was supposed to.About 400 passengers fitted into a space made for just 300，police said.The second ferry carried about 1 00 passengers.
“The number of deaths is certain to rise.”said an official in charge of the rescue work.“No one really knows how many people were on board‘the ferry or how many of them survived.''
Ferries in Bangladesh don't always keep passenger lists，making it difficult to determine the exact number of people on board.
Besides the ferry accidents，at least 40 people were killed and 400 injured by lightning strikes.falling houses and trees and the sinking of small boats.
Storms are common this time of year in Bangladesh，as are boating accidents.Ferry
disasters take away hundreds of lives every year in a nation of 130 million people.
Officials blame these river accidents on a lack of safety measures.too many passengers in boats and not enough checks on weather conditions.
Ferries are a common means of transport in Bangladesh.It is a country covered by about 230 rivers.Some 20，000 ferries use the nation's Waterways every year.And many of them are dangerously overcrowded.
Since 1977， more than 3.000 people have died in some 260 boating accidents.

Stress Level Tied to Education Level
People with less education suffer fewer stressful days， according to a report in the current issue of the Journal of Health and Social Behavior.
However， the study also found that when 1ess-educated people did suffer stress it was more severe and had a larger impact on their health.
From this.researchers have concluded that the day-to-day factors that cause stress are not random.Ⅵr11ere you are in society determines the kinds of problems that you have each day， and how well you will cope with them.
The research team interviewed a national sample of 1.03 1 adults daily for eight days about their stress level and health.People without a high school diploma reported stress on 30 percent of the study days，people with a high school degree reported stress 38 percent of the time，and people with college degrees reported stress 44 percent of the time.
‘’Less advantaged people are less healthy on a daily basis and are more likely to have downward turns in their health.'“lead researcher Dr.Joseph Grzywacz，of Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center， said in a prepared statement.”The downward turns in health were connected with daily stressors.and the effect of daily stressors on their health is much more devastating for the less advantaged.“
Grzywacz suggested follow-up research to determine why less-educated people report fewer days of stress when it is known their stress is more acute and chronic.
“If something happens every day， maybe it'snot seen as a stressor”Grzywacz says.“Maybe it is just 1ife.”
词汇：
stressful adj.紧张的；压力重的
diploma n.毕业文凭，毕业证书
stressor n.紧张刺激物
devastating adj.毁灭性的
follow-up n.（对病人的）随访
