问题     Teacher burnout and student stress may be linked, according to a University of British Columbia study.
    The study is the first of its kind to examine the connection between teacher burnout and students’ Cortisol (皮质醇) levels, which are a biological indicator of stress.
    Researchers collected saliva (唾液) samples from over 400 elementary school children and tested their Cortisol levels. They found that in classrooms in which teachers experienced more burnout, or feelings of emotional exhaustion, students’ Cortisol levels were elevated. Higher Cortisol levels in elementary school children have been linked to learning difficulties as well as mental health problems.
    "This suggests that stress contagion (传染) might be taking place in the classroom among students and their teachers," said Eva Oberle, the study’s lead author and newly appointed assistant professor with the Human Early Learning Partnership (HELP) at UBC’s school of population and public health. "It is unknown what came first—elevated Cortisol or teacher burnout. We consider the connection between student and teacher stress a cyclical problem in the classroom. "
    Oberle said a stressful classroom climate could be a result of inadequate support for teachers, which may impact teachers’ ability to effectively manage their students. A poorly managed classroom can contribute to students’ needs not being met and increasing stress. This could be reflected in elevated Cortisol levels in students.
    Alternatively, stress could originate from students, who may be more challenging to teach because of increases in anxiety, behavioral problems, or special needs. In this scenario, teachers could feel overwhelmed and report higher levels of burnout.
    "Our study is a reminder of the systemic issues facing teachers and educators as classroom sizes increase and supports for teachers are cut," said Oberle.
    "It is clear from a number of recent research studies that teaching is one of the most stressful professions, and that teachers need adequate resources and support in their jobs in order to battle burnout and alleviate stress in the classroom," said UBC education professor Kimberly Schonert-Reichl, the study’s co-author and director of HELP. "If we do not support teachers, we risk the collateral damage of students."
What did Kimberly Schonert-Reichl suggest providing for teachers who want to struggle with occupational burnout?
选项 A、The increase of class sizes.
B、Sufficient resources for the work.
C、A long break from teaching.
D、The stress relief in the classroom.
答案B
解析 事实细节题。定位句指出，金伯利．斯科勒一莱克利说道，教师在他们的工作中需要足够的资源与支持来抵抗职业倦怠和减轻教室里的压力。由此可知，他建议给那些想要与职业倦怠做斗争的教师们提供工作所需的资源，故答案为B)。A)“教室规模的扩大”虽在第七段有所提及，但它不是金伯利的观点，故排除；C)“休个长假”原文并未提及，故排除；D)“教室里压力的减轻”，由定位句可知，给教师提供他们工作所需的资源与支持，其目的是为了抵抗职业倦怠和减轻教室里的压力，因此该选项是对原文的曲解，故排除。
