Question

【題目】 In our daily life, many of us feel stressed more or less. Some like this pressure and work better because of it. Others are not comfortable with any stress at all; they soon become unhappy if they feel stressed. Sometimes stress can lead people to do things they wouldn’t usually do, such as overeat, smoke, drink, or use drugs. Stress, however, is a very normal part of life.

It is important to understand that stress doesn’t come from an event itself, that is, from the things that are happening in our lives. It comes from the meaning we give to what has happened. For example, a crying baby may be stressful to one person, but it may not bother another person at all; a traffic jam may be stressful to one person while another person may be able to stay calm.

We can experience stress any time we feel we don’t have control. It can come from a feeling that we can’t do anything about a situation. Basically, it is the body’s way of showing anxiety or worry.

Stress is not just caused by our mental or emotional condition. It is also influenced by how tired we are, whether we have a balanced diet with enough vitamins and minerals, whether we get enough physical exercise, and whether we can relax.

The key point of relieving the stress is that we need to find what is causing the stress in our lives. Once we have found it, we should try to change that part of our lives. If we believe that we can control stress, we can begin to control our lives. Then we can start to use stress in a positive way.

【1】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段最后一句中“a traffic jam may be stressful to one person”可知，交通堵塞可以導(dǎo)致壓力。故選C項(xiàng)。

推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段中“It comes from the meaning we give to what has happened.”可知，壓力來自我們給予發(fā)生的事情的含義，接下來提到“嬰兒哭泣對一個人可能是有壓力的，但是可能根本不會困擾另外一個人”，由此判斷出文章用嬰兒哭泣的例子，說明不同的人對壓力的反應(yīng)不同。故選B項(xiàng)。

細(xì)節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)最后一段第一句“The key point of relieving the stress is that we need to find what is causing the stress in our lives. Once we have found it, we should try to change that part of our lives.(減輕壓力的關(guān)鍵是我們需要找出生活中什么引起壓力。一旦我們找到它，我們應(yīng)該盡力改變那一部分的生活。)”可知，應(yīng)對壓力要找到原因并作出改變。故選A項(xiàng)。
