问题    Stress may be defined as the response of the body to any demand. Whenever people experience something pleasant or unpleasant, we say they are under stress. We call the pleasant kind "eustress" , the unpleasant kind "distress".
   People sometimes compare our life with that of the caveman who didn’ t have to worry about the stock market or the atomic bomb. They forget that the caveman worried about being eaten by a bear or about dying of hunger—things that few people worry about today. It’ s not that people suffer more stress today: it’ s just that they think they do.
   It is inconceivable that anyone should have no stress at all. Most people who are ambitious and want to accomplish something live under stress. They need it. But excessive stress is by all means harmful. Worse, chronic exposure to stress over a long time may cause more serious diseases and may actually shorten your life.
   The most frequent causes of distress in man are psychological—lack of adaptability, not having a code of behavior. So the secret of coping with stress is not to avoid it, but to do what you like to do and what you are made to do, at your own rate. For most people, it is really a matter of learning how to behave in various situations. The most important thing is to have a code of life, to know how to live.
The modern man is suffering______.

选项 A、more stress than the caveman
B、less stress than the caveman
C、different stress from the caveman
D、the same stress as the caveman

答案C

解析 根据第二段可知,现代人将自己的生活与穴居人的生活相比较,认为穴 居人不用担心股票市场和原子弹,但穴居人担心的是被熊吃掉或饿死。由此可推知, 现代人和穴居人都会有压力,只是面临的压力不同而已。故选C。
