“Humans should not try to avoid stress any more than they would shun food, love or exercise.” said Dr. Hans Selye, the first physician to document the effects of stress on the body. While here’s no question that continuous stress is harmful, several studies suggest that challenging situations in which you’re able to rise to the occasion can be good for you.

　　In a 2001 study of 158 hospital nurses, those who faced considerable work demands but coped with（设法处理） the challenge were more likely to say they were in good health than those who felt they couldn’t get the job done.

　　Stress that you can manage may also boost immune(免疫的) function. In a study at the Academic Center for Dentistry in Amsterdam, researchers put volunteers through two stressful experiences. In the first, a timed task that required memorizing a list followed by a short test, subjects believed they had control over the outcome. In the second, they weren’t in control: They had to sit through a gory(血淋淋的) video on surgical procedures. Those who did go on the memory test had an increase in levels of immunoglobulin A, an antibody that's the body’s first line of defense against germs. The video-watchers experienced a downturn in the antibody.

　　Stress prompts the body to produce certain stress hormones（荷尔蒙）. In short bursts these hormones have a positive effect, including improved memory function. “They can help nerve cells handle information and put it into storage,” says Dr. Bruce McEwen of Rockefeller University in New York. But in the long run these hormones can have a harmful effect on the body and brain.

“Sustained stress is not good for you,” says Richard Morimoto, a researcher at Northwestern University in Illinois studying the effects of stress on longevity(长寿), “It’s the occasional burst of stress or brief exposure to stress that could be protective.”

A. a person’s memory is determined by the level of hormones in his body

B. stress hormones have lasting positive effects on the brain

C. short bursts of stress hormones enhance memory function

D. a person’s memory improves with continued experience of stress

Most of us lead unhealthy lives;we spend far too much sitting down.If in addition we are careless about our diets,our bodies soon become loose and fatty and our systems slow?moving.There are some aspects（方面）of our unhealthy lives that we cannot avoid.I am thinking of such features of modern city life as pollution,noise,rushed meals and stress.But keeping fit is a way to reduce the effects of these evils.The usual suggestion to a person who is looking for a way to keep fit is to take up some sport or other.While it is true that every weekend you will find people playing football and hockey in the local park,they are outnumbered a hundred to one by the people who are simply watching them.

For those who do not particularly enjoy competitive sports—and it is especially difficult to do so if you are not good at them—there are such separate activities as cycling,walking,jogging and swimming.What often happens though is that you do them in such a leisurely way,so slowly,that it is doubtful if you are doing yourself much good,except for the fact that you have at least managed to get up out of your armchair.

Even after you have found a way for keeping in shape,through sport or gymnastics,you are still only half way to good health,because,according to the experts,you must also master the art of complete mental and physical relaxation（放松）.It has to do with deep breathing,emptying your mind of all thoughts,meditation,and so on.Yoga,as practiced in the West,is the most widely known and popular of the systems for achieving the necessary state of relaxation.It seems ironical（讽刺性的）,though,that as our lives have improved in a material sense we have found it increasingly necessary to go back to forms of activity physical effort on the one hand and relaxation on the other—which were the natural way of life of our forefathers.

46.Pollution,noise and stress are examples of______.

A.causes of unfitness

B.bad features of living in towns

C.the things we can completely do away with

D.unavoidable things in town

47.We don’t get much out of separate sports because we______.

A.don’t do them very often　　　　                 B.don’t do them actively enough

C.find it hard to get out of our armchairs　　　　D.don’t find them interesting

48.To be healthy we must______.

A.keep fit and active 　　　　                         B.keep fit and learn to relax

C.be active and practise Yoga　　　　               D.have a sound mind

49.Our forefathers were healthy because______.

A.their way of life closely connected with both exercise and relaxation

B.they were careful to get plenty of fresh air

C.they spent most of the time out of doors

D.their environment was not polluted
