As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential (必要的)for a healthy mind and body.

     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 (有必要的) 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.

     The amount of stress a person can stand depends very much on the person himself. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously important for managerial responsibilities. Others lose heart at the first signs of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between "flight or fight" and in more early days the choices made the difference between life or death. The crises  (危机) we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but how little the stress is, it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered. Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart diseases have established links with stress. Since we cannot remove stress from our lives (it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we

need to find ways to deal with it.

       There is much discussion today about whether economic growth is desirable. At an earlier period, our desire for material wealth may have been justified. Now, however, this desire for more than we need is causing serous problems. Even though we have good intentions, we may be producing too much, too fast.

       Those who criticize economic growth argue that we must slow down. They believe that society is approaching certain limits on growth. These include the fixed supply of natural resources, the possible negative effects of industry on the natural environment, and the continuing increase in the world’s population. As society reaches these limits, economic growth can no longer continue, and the quality of life will decrease.

       People who want more economic growth, on the other hand, argue that even at the present growth rate there are still many poor people in the world. They believe that only more growth can create the capital needed to improve the quality of life in the world. Furthermore, they argue that only continued growth can provide the financial resources required to protect our natural surroundings from industrialization.

       This debate over the desirability of continued economic growth is of vital importance to business and industry. If those who argue against economic growth are correct, the problems they mention cannot be ignored. To find a solution, economists and the business community must pay attention to these problems and continue discussing them with one another.

1. According to those who argue against economic growth we must slow down for the following reasons EXCEPT that_________.

       A. our natural surroundings are in danger of being destroyed by industry

       B. the fixed supply of natural resources marks a point beyond which economic growth cannot continue

       C. the world population is ever increasing

       D. more efforts should be made to improve the quality of our material life

2. Those who want more economic growth believe that continued economic growth_________

       A. is essential to the well-being of society as a whole

       B. can provide the solution to many of our social problems today

       C. can protect our environment from being polluted by industry

       D. can provide us with more natural resources for industrialization

3. The passage is mainly about _________

       A. the contradiction between economists and the business community

       B. the present debate on economic growth

       C. the advantages and disadvantages of economic growth

       D. the importance of the debate on economic growth
