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. "
Dr. Yehuda mentioned the possibility of a woman yelling at her child to show that
选项 A、people should learn to manage themselves.
B、eating could release one’s pressure sometimes.
C、it is important to learn to manage their anger.
D、people should not show their anger in front of the children.
答案C
解析 耶胡达博士提到一个妇女可能朝自己孩子大吼，这是为了表明[A]人们应该学会管理自己的情绪。[B]吃东西有时可以释放人们的压力。[C]学会控制自己的愤怒很重要。[D]人们不应在孩子面前表现出自己的愤怒情绪。根据第二段的倒数第二句和第三句可知：有时候由于一天积累下来的压力，妈妈会朝着孩子大吼，因此控制愤怒是需要学习的一项重要技能。由此可知[C]符合文意。[A]不够准确．[B]和[D]在文中没有明确表述。故[C]正确。
