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.
If a person wanted to avoid stress completely, he would have to______.
选项 A、avoid any changes
B、made some changes
C、be free of dangerous things
D、stay away from the opportunities
答案A
解析 根据第三段最后一句“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．”可知，任何变化都会产生压力。由此可推知，要想完全避免压力，必须避免所 有的变化。故选A。
