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.
Which of the following is NOT an example that causes stress?

选项 A、Lacking adaptability and a code of life.
B、Killing a bear in hunting.
C、The failure to pass final examinations.
D、Having an economic problem.

答案B

解析 根据最后一段第一句可知,A项“缺乏适应性和生活规范”会使人们产 生压力。根据第三段第一、二句和文章大意可推知,C项“没有通过期末考试”会使人 产生压力。根据第二段第一句“…worry about the stock market or the atomic bomb.”可 知,现在的人会担心股票市场,由此可推知,D项“有经济问题”可能会产生压力。B 项“狩猎时杀死一只熊”和压力没有关系。故选B。
