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.
People are finding less and less time for relaxing themselves because______.
选项 A、they are becoming busier with their work
B、they are traveling fast all the time
C、they do not believe that relaxation is important for health
D、they do not know how to enjoy themselves
答案A
解析 本题问人们发现我们用来放松自己的时间越来越少的原因是什么。文章第一段指出，随着生活节奏的不断加快，我们将很快失去休闲的雅趣。一旦人们养成了奔忙于生活的习惯，而一天到晚忙个不停，便很难闲下来，但是，休闲对于身心健康是必不可少的。因此，本题的正确答案应是A“因为人们的工作越来越忙”。
