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 got boiled down to 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 simplistic 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 vulnerable (脆弱的) and passive in the face of adversity (逆境 ). But what about human initiative and creativity? Many come through periods of stress with more physical and mental vigor than they had before. We also know that a long time without change or challenge can lead to boredom, and physical and mental straia (319 words)
The result of Holmes-Rahe’s medical research tells us______.
选项 A、the way you handle major events may cause stress
B、what should be done to avoid stress
C、what kind of event would cause stress
D、how to cope with sudden changes in life
答案C
解析 本题属于主旨题。根据关键词“Holmes-Rahe’s medical research”我们定位到第一段的第一、二句话。从第二句话得知任何重大事件的变化都会使人产生压力。针对这个论点，作者提出了“serious illness of a family member”(家庭成员的疾病)与“marriage” (结婚)两个例子来论证。在谈Holmes—Rahe的测试时，作者指出“…it only shows how much you have to deal with…”，这仅表明你必须处理的压力有多少，而与你用什么办法无关。综上所述，可以得出结论：Holmes-Rahe’s的研究结果只告诉了我们什么样的活动产生压力，故只有C是正确答案。
