　　冲剌练习1：

　　Directions: In the following article, some sentences have been removed. For Questions 41 – 45, choose the most suitable one from the list A – G to fit into each of the numbered blank. There are two extra choices, which do not fit in any of the gaps. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. (10 points)

　　There are basically two types of stress placed on human beings. One type of stress involves physical activity and its demands; the other type of stress is the result of mental and emotional demands. Stress from physical activity, if not carried too far, is actually beneficial. Exercise relaxes you and may help forget about mental and emotional stress. 41) .

　　Whether physical or emotional in origin, stress causes the body to react in the same way. In the first stage, your body prepares to meet the stress. The heartbeat and respiration¹ rates increase, and the pupils of the eyes dilate²; the blood sugar level increases, and the rate of perspiration³ speeds up, while digestion⁴ slows down as blood and muscular activity is diverted elsewhere. In the second stage, your body returns to normal and repairs any damage caused by the stressful situation. 42)

　　These stages of stress reaction are always the same, whether the stress is caused by a cross-country run, a first date, buying a house, or narrowly missing an automobile⁵ accident.

　　43) . If we did not feel guilty, we would never do anything except the things that brought us immediate⁷ pleasure — we’d never obey the law, work, exercise, or even study in school, unless we wanted to do so in the first place. As a person’s conscience develops, guilt⁶ feelings become inevitable⁸; guilt is the sorrow we experience when we know we have done something incorrect.

　　44) . But many people do feel guilty over such apparently⁹ innocent actions. Excessive guilt can sour all of life and make life not worth living; it can also cause self-hatred as well as other fears and anxieties that cause all life’s successes to be bittersweet, at best.

　　45) .A life without stress, such as retirement¹⁰ with nothing to do, would be boring. Just as we need a little guilt — to keep us correct — and a little worry — to make us plan ahead — we need a little stress to stay interested in life. But when stress begins to bother you, you might as well change your routine. Take your mind off your worries with some physical activity; you may discover a solution you have overlooked before.

　　[A] However, many of us as children learned rules that we no longer need: fat adults should no longer feel guilty about leaving a little food on the plate, a successful businessman need not feel guilty about spending a little too much money on a vacation, nor should he feel guilty that he can combine a business trip to the West Coast with some swimming and golf at an ocean resort.

　　[B] But mental stress is almost always bad for you. If mental stress is unrelieved, it can actually cause diseases such as ulcers¹², migraine headaches, heart problems, or mental illness

　　[C] Guilt and the worry that often accompanies this major stress are difficult to eradicate, but people subject to excessive guilt feelings should realize, as simple as it sounds, that no one is perfect. People cannot always be cheerful and helpful to every one they meet. Another good lesson is that mistakes should be forgotten, not lingered over and brought out to examine periodically.

　　[D] Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.

　　[E] Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities, others lose heart at the first signs of unusual difficulties.

　　[F] However, if stress continues, the body cannot repair itself, and the final stage, exhaustion¹³, then begins. If this stage continues, if for example you are frustrated¹⁴ by your work and continue to be frustrated for a long time, physical or emotional damage will occur.

　　[G] Probably most harmful of all the stresses is guilt; this common emotion is useful to have when it helps us to realize that we have, in fact, committed some error, violated our own rules or social rules.
