In the 1960s, medical researchers Thomas Holmes and Richard Rahe developed a check- list of stressful events. They appreciated the tricky point that any major change can be stressful. Negative events like "serious illness of a family member" were high on the list, but so were some positive life-changing events, like marriage. When you take the HolmesRahe test you must remember that the score does not reflect how you deal with stress--it only shows how much you have to deal with. And we now know that the way you handle these events dramatically affects your chances of staying healthy.
By the early 1970s, hundreds of similar studies had followed Holmes and Rahe. And millions of Americans who work and live under stress worried over the reports. Somehow, the research got boiled down to a memorable message. Women’s magazines ran headlines like "Stress causes illness!" If you want to stay physically and mentally healthy, the articles said, avoid stressful events.
But such simplistic advice is impossible to follow. Even if stressful events are dangerous many--like the death of a loved one---are impossible to avoid. Moreover, any warning to a- void all stressful events is a prescription for staying away from opportunities as well as trouble. Since any change can be stressful, a person who wanted to be completely free of stress would never marry, have a child, take a new job or move.
The notion that all stress makes you sick also ignores a lot of what we know about people. It assumes we’re all vulnerable and passive in the face of adversity. But what about human initiative and creativity? Many come through periods of stress with more physical and mental vigor than they had before. We also know that a long time without change or challenge can lead to boredom, and physical and mental strain. [br] Why is "such simplistic advice" (Para. 3) impossible to follow?
选项
A、No one can stay on the same job for long.
B、No prescription is effective in relieving stress.
C、People have to get married someday.
D、You could be missing opportunities as well.
答案
D
解析
根据文章第三段中的“…any warning to avoid all stressful events is a prescription for staying away from opportunities as well as trouble.”可以看出如果“follow such simplistic advice”,除了会避免“trouble”以外,还会“stay away from opportunities”,即“missing opportunities”,所以,[D]符合题意。文章第三段最后一句提到“a person who wanted to be completely free of stress would never take a new job”,但这并不说"no one can stay on the same job for long",可见,选项[A]不符合题意,根据文章内容我们可知“such simplistic advice”是指前文中所说的“avoid stressful events”,与其他无关,因此就说“no prescription is effective in relieving stress”是没有根据的,所以[B]错误。“People have to get married someday”也只是“such simplistic advice”无法听从的一个方面,所以,[C]也不符合题意。
