If you aren’t already paralyzed with stress from reading the financial news, here’s a sure way to achieve that grim state: read a medical-journal article that examines what stress can do to your brain. Stress, you’ll learn, is crippling your neurons. That’s assuming you haven’t already died by then of some other stress-related ailment such as heart disease. As we enter what is sure to be a long period of uncertainty—a gantlet of lost jobs, dwindling assets, home foreclosures and two continuing wars—the downside of stress is certainly worth exploring. But what about the upside? It’s not something we hear much about.
In the past several years, a lot of us have convinced ourselves that stress is
unequivocally
negative for everyone, all the time. We’ve blamed stress for a wide variety of problems, from slight memory lapses to full-on dementia—and that’s just in the brain.
Sure, stress can be bad for you, especially if you react to it with anger or depression or by downing five glasses of Scotch. But what’s often overlooked is a common-sense counterpoint: in some circumstances, it can be good for you, too. As Spencer Rathus puts it in "Psychology: Concepts and Connections," "some stress is healthy and necessary to keep us alert and occupied." "The public has gotten such a uniform message that stress is always harmful," says Janet DiPietro, a developmental psychologist at Johns Hopkins University. "And that’s too bad, because most people do their best under mild to moderate stress."
The stress response—the body’s hormonal reaction to danger, uncertainty or change—evolved to help us survive, and if we learn how to keep it from overrunning our lives, it still can. In the short term, it can energize us. In the long term, stress can motivate us to do better at jobs we care about. A little of it can prepare us for a lot later on, making us more resilient. Even when it’s extreme, stress may have some positive effects—which is why, in addition to posttraumatic stress disorder, some psychologists are starting to define a phenomenon called posttraumatic growth. "There’s really a biochemical and scientific bias that stress is bad, but anecdotally and clinically, it’s quite evident that it can work for some people," says Orloff. "We need a new wave of research with a more balanced approach to how stress can serve us." Otherwise, we’re all going to spend far more time than we should stressing ourselves out about the fact that we’re stressed out.
It can be inferred from Paragraph 1 that______.
选项
A、financial news cause stress because they are too professional to understand
B、unemployment is not as serious a problem as home foreclosures
C、many people died because of stress-caused damage of neurons
D、people often neglect the good part that stress can bring to them
答案
D
解析
属信息推断题。选项A犯了曲解文意的错误,其为文章第一句意思的误解,文章第一句作者的真实意图是对现在金融形势的讽刺,故错误。选项B犯了无中生有的错误,句中两个核心词都是文章中“长期的不确定性”的例子,并未提及二者哪个更严重,故错误。选项C犯了曲解文意的错误,第一段第三句中作者暗示一些人会因为压力导致生病而死亡,故错误。选项D的内容是第一段最后一句的体现,故正确。
