We hear a lot about stress these days. But do we really give it the focus it deserves? Ongoing stress can 11 a heavy price on our
physical and mental well-being. We can’t avoid stress; we must learn how to control our reaction to it.
Dr. Hans Selye defined stress in the 1950s as the “nonspecific response of the organism to any pressure or demand.” Stress is the total
response of your mind and body to the stressors you experience. It includes everyday wear and tear, both “good” (a promotion) and “bad”
(fight with a friend) stressors. The stress reaction in itself is 12 . It can result in a feeling of exhilaration and eagerness. 13 this
in our lives, things would be pretty flat. However, the stress reaction is a process of mobilizing the body’s resources and, if allowed to
become ongoing, can deplete those resources, resulting in illness.
The major sources of stress are the environment, our bodies, and our minds. Negative stress begins with our 14 of a situation.
Feelings aren’t caused by events, but by our beliefs about them. I f we determine the event is dangerous, our stress reactions will 15 .
Therefore, our perceptions are very important in how much stress we feel. Internalized stress keeps the mind agitated and throws the
nervous system out of balance. It interferes with the immune response and produces stress-related disorders.

請依下文回答第 16 題至第 20 題
In the eighteenth century the pivotal city of Western civilization had been Paris; by the second half of the nineteenth century this
center of influence had shifted to London, a city that expanded from above two million inhabitants when Victoria came to the throne to six
and half million at the time of her death. The rapid growth of London is one of the many indications of the most important development of
the age: the shift from a way of life based on the ownership of land to a modern urban economy based on trade and manufacturing. “We
have been living, as it were, the life of three hundred years in thirty” was the impression formed by Dr. Thomas Arnold during the early
stages of England’s industrialization. By the end of the century – after the resources of steam power had been more fully exploited for fast
railways and iron ships, for looms, printing presses, and farmer’s combines, and after the introduction of telegraph, intercontinental cable,
photography, anesthetics, and universal compulsory education – a late Victorian could look back with astonishment on these developments
during his or her lifetime.
Because England was the first country to become industrialized, its transformation was an especially painful one: it experienced a host
of social and economic problems consequent to rapid and unregulated industrialization. England also experienced an enormous increa se in
wealth. An early start enabled England to capture markets all over the globe. Cotton and other manufactured products were exported in
English ships, a merchant fleet whose size was without parallel in other countries. The profits gained from trade also led to extensive
capital investments in all continents. After England became the world’s workshop, London became, from 1870 on, the world’s banker.
England gained particular profit from the development of its own colonies, which, by 1890, comprised more than a quarter of all the
territory on the surface of the earth; one in four people was a subject of Queen Victoria. By the end of the century England was the world’s
foremost imperial power.
Although many Victorians shared a sense of satisfication in the industrial and political preeminence of England during the period,
they also suffered from an anxious sense of something lost, a sense too of being displaced persons in a world made alien by technological
changes that had been exploited too quickly for the adaptive powers of the human psyche.
16 Why was Dr. Thomas Arnold amazed?
The Doctor thought time stood still.
The Doctor lost the sense of time.
The Doctor was amazed by the rapid progress of the Victorian period.

17 What does “Queen Victoria came to the throne” mean?
The Queen walked to the throne.
The Queen moved her home to somewhere near the throne.
The Queen became the new ruler of England.
The Queen realized what a throne was.
18 According to the passage, what was the most important invention of the Victorian period?
Railway. Steam power.
Intercontinental cable. Universal compulsory education.
19 According to the passage, which of the following statements in NOT true?
There were no poor people in England.
In the period England was the strongest country in the world.
The new technological inventions made England rich.
Victorian England colonized many other countries in the globe.
20 What was the main idea of the final paragraph?
Many Victorians were sick due to new technologies.
Victorian England was a promising country.
Everybody was satisfied with the growth of England.
There was a downside to the rapid growth of Victorian England.
