大学英语四级阅读真题预测6
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
In the 1960s, medical researchers Thomas Holmes and Richard Rahe developed a checklistof stressful events. They appreciated the tricky point that any major change can bestressful. Negative events like “serious illness of a family member” were high on the list, butso were some positive life-changing events, like marriage. When you take the Holmes-Rahe testyou 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 handlethese events dramatically affects your chances of staying healthy.
By the early 1970s, hundreds of similar studies had followed Holmes and Rahe. And millionsof Americans who work and live under stress worried over the reports. Somehow, the researchgot boiled down to a memorable message. Women’s magazines ran headlines like “Stresscauses illness!” If you want to stay physically and mentally healthy, the articles said, avoidstressful events.
But such simplistic advice is impossible to follow. Even if stressful events aredangerous, many—like the death of a loved one—are impossible to avoid. Moreover, anywarning to avoid all stressful events is a prescription (处方) for staying away fromopportunities as well as trouble. Since any change can be stressful, a person who wanted tobe 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 whatabout human initiative and creativity? Many come through periods of stress with morephysical and mental vigor than they had before. We also know that a long time withoutchange or challenge can lead to boredom, and physical and metal strain.
