问题     Just as stress is a natural reaction to a sense of danger, experiencing chronic stress is a natural response to feeling besieged by the demands of modern life. "You’re not a weak person because you react negatively to stress," explains Dr. Yehuda. "I think this myth of the superwoman that can do everything and handle everything still abounds, and women feel that they should be able to deal with everything that they’re asked to. And it’s too much. So, it is actually a measure of their strength that they know when they’re in over their heads, or when they need a little support. "
    Help can come in many forms, from simply taking time out for relaxation, to seeking counseling or a support group. But you have to identify the sources of stress in your life. Everyone is different, and what stresses one person might not bother another. "Poorer coping mechanisms have to do with unleashing an inordinate or disproportionate amount of anger and emotion on the straw that broke the camel’s back," Dr. Yehuda cautions. "Sometimes a woman may yell at her child for saying, ’Can I have something to eat? because of the accumulation of stress from the day. So anger management is an important skill to develop. Or, taking drugs and alcohol are particularly bad ways of coping because then you’re going to have to deal with the negative consequences of having taken the alcohol or drugs. "
    Finding positive ways to cope with the sources and effects of stress will depend on your individual circumstances, and often employing a combination of methods will be most effective. You can start simple: some centuries-old relaxation techniques such as yoga and massage are proven stress reducers.
    Behavioral and cognitive therapies teach skills for recognizing your stress triggers and reacting in productive ways. "In a coping or skill-building class, they’re going to learn techniques that they can take home and use in whatever their situation may be, that are going to help them to calm down, to feel more in control of the situation," explains Beth O’Boyle, a stress-reduction instructor.
    Stress is natural, and you can’t always eliminate the sources of stress in your life, but you can change how they affect you. As Dr. Smoller observes, "You know, life is stressful. Certainly emotional turmoil is part of it. And what kind of empty life would we have if we had no calls on our inner resources? The issue is, how are we going to deal with that stress, and how do we build up our inner resources so we can deal with it? So we’re emotionally resilient , so we don’t break every time a wind hits us. "
Which of the following is true according to the text?
选项 A、People can hardly reduce the sources of pressure.
B、Even training classes are not effective in offering skills to deal with pressure.
C、One should first know the sources of stress while asking for help.
D、Taking drugs and alcohol, though bad ways of coping with pressure, might be effective.
答案C
解析 根据本文内容，下列哪项正确?[A]人们几乎无法减少压力的来源。[B]甚至培训课在提供应对压力的技能方面也没有效果。[C]人们在寻求帮助时应该先知道压力的来源。[D]虽然吸毒和酗酒不是应对压力的好方式，但或许有用。根据第二段第二句可知[C]的意思与文意相符，故为正确答案。根据最后一段第一句可知[A]与文意不符．[B]与第五段的内容不符。根据第二段最后一句“吸毒和酗酒是控制压力的极坏方法，因为你还得处理吸毒和酗酒所带来的不良后果”，可知文章对这种控制压力的方法完全否定，故排除[D]。
