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 troubles. Since any change can be stressful, a person who wants 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 strain.
The studies on stress in the early 1970s led to______.
选项 A、widespread concern over its harmful effects
B、great panic over the mental disorder it could cause
C、an intensive research into stress-related illnesses
D、popular avoidance of stressful jobs
答案A
解析 细节题。本题是问20世纪70年代早期关于生活压力的研究引起什么样的结果。根据时间状语in the early 1970s，我们可以定位到第二段。其中similar studies=the studies on stress，第二句话明确告诉我们上百万的美国人对这些报道非常担忧。从后面女性杂志对此归结出来的结论stress causes illness，我们也可以看出压力所带来的负面的或有害的影响受到人们的广泛关注，也即答案A．widespread concern overits harmful effects。此题需要理解细节内容并进行简单推断。
