问题               Stress Level Tied to Education Level
   People with less education suffer fewer stressful days, according to a report in the current issue of the Journal of Health and Social Behavior.
   However, the study also found that when less-educated people did suffer stress it was more severe and had a larger impact on their health.
   From this researchers have concluded that the day-to-day factors that cause stress are not random. Where you are in society determines the kinds of problems that you have each day, and how well you will cope with them.
   The research team interviewed a national sample of 1,031 adults daily for eight days about their stress level and health. People without a high school diploma reported stress on 30 per cent of the study days, people with a high school degree reported stress 38 per cent of the time, and people with college degrees reported stress 44 per cent of the time.
   "Less advantaged people are less healthy on a daily basis and are more likely to have downward turns in their health." lead researcher Dr. Joseph Grzywacz, of Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center, said in a prepared statement. "The downward turns in health were connected with daily stressors. And the effect of daily stressors on their health is much more devastating for the less advantaged."
   Grzywacz suggested follow-up research to determine why less-educated people report fewer days of stress when it is known their stress is more acute and chronic.
   "If something happens every day, maybe it’s not seen as a stressor," Grzywacz says. "Maybe it is just life."

答案B

解析 从文章题目可得知,一个人的紧张程度与其受教育的程度相关,而受教育的程度又直接影响一个人的社会地位。因此,文章第3段提到,一个人的社会地位决定了其每日所面临的问题和处理这些问题的能力。由此可见,紧张程度与社会地位密切相关。
