问题     As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body.
    Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing as it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.
    The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities. Others lose heart at the first sight of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between "flight or fight" and in more primitive days the choices made the difference between life or death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered. Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart diseases have established links with stress. Since we cannot remove stress from our lives (it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it.
In the seventh sentence of Para. 3, "such a reaction" refers back to______.
选项 A、losing heart at the signs of difficulties
B、responding to crises quickly
C、reaction to stress both chemically and physically
D、making a choice between flight or fight
答案C
解析 本题是一道词语含义类问题。问文章第三段第七句话中的such a reaction是指什么。根据上下文，当我们遇到压力，而无论是何种压力时，我们都会做出机能和体能上的反应。实际上我们是在逃避和抗争之间做出选择。在较原始的时期，这些选择是生死攸关的。我们今天所遇到的危机不可能有这么严重，但是，无论压力大小，反应都是相同的，只是在这种反应面对不断的压力长期持续时，健康才会受到威胁。因此，本题的正确答案应是C“指对压力产生的机能和体能上的反应”。
