问题     In the 1960s, medical researchers Thomas Holmes and Richard Rahe developed a checklist 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 Holmes-Rahe 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 was described briefly in 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 simple 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 avoid all stressful events is a prescription(处方)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 weak and passive in the face of difficulties. But what about human initiative and creativity? Many people who come through periods of stress with more physical and mental energy than they had before. We also know that a long time without change or challenge can lead to boredom, and physical and metal strain.
The studies on stress in the early 1970s made people______.
选项 A、feel more stressful in working and living
B、believe that it’ s impossible to avoid stress
C、worry about their mental and physical health
D、believe that it’ s possible to avoid stressful events
答案C
解析 根据第二段第一、二句“By the early 1970s…millions of Americans who work and live under stress worried over the reports．”和最后一句“If you want to stay physically and mentally healthy，the articles said，avoid stressful events．”可推知，20世 纪70年代对压力的研究使得人们十分担忧自己的身心健康。本题容易误选D项，但 根据第二段最后一句可知，杂志上的文章指出“避免有压力的事情可以使人保持身心 健康”，即文章认为压力是可以避免的，但并没有明确表明人们对这一观点的态度，所 以不正确。故选C。
