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.
By mentioning Spencer Rathus’s work, the author intends to______.
选项
A、recommend this book to people with great stress
B、manifest his opinion is different from that of Janet DiPietro
C、prove that stress does have positive effect on people
D、demonstrate people’s bias towards stress’s effect
答案
C
解析
属逻辑关系题。选项A犯了无中生有的错误,作者毫无推荐书籍的意思,故错误。选项B犯了曲解文意的错误,仔细阅读J.D.的观点就可知道其实两个人的观点是一致的,故错误。阅读S.R.的观点就可知道他提到了压力的一些好处,故选项C正确。选项D属于答非所问,说的是J.D.的观点,S.R.的引用中未提到此观点,故错误。
