题干

One hot night last August, I tried everything I could think of — toys, songs etc. to make him fall into sleep, but he just couldn’t do it. Since I believed that a long night was waiting for me ahead, I had no choice but to bring a TV into his room to kill off the hours until dawn. I was surprised that the moment I turned on the TV the baby became quiet right away and fixed his little eyes brightly on the screen. Not willing to waste an opportunity for sleep, I then tiptoed(蹑手蹑脚地行进) out of the room, leaving him to watch the boring TV programs. I heard no more of the baby’s crying that night and the next morning when I went into his room, I found him still watching TV by himself. I found there was a metaphor(暗喻) in my baby’s behavior(行为) for the new generation. When I gave my boy some books to go over, he only spit upon them; when I read to him, he did not feel comfortable. And so it is in the schools with my students. I find that our students don’t read and they look down upon reading and make light of those of us who teach it. All they want to do is watch TV. After this experience with the baby, however, I have drawn a conclusion: “Let them watch it!” If television is that much more attractive to children than books, why should we fight against it? Let them watch what they want！

A．To enjoy some interesting programs together with his son.

B．To help himself pass the long hours ahead of him.

C．To help his son fall asleep sooner.

D．To keep his son from making noises.

【小题2】The baby seemed to be ______ at the sight of the TV set.

A．excited

B．surprised

C．bored

D．pleased

【小题3】This experience with his baby helped the father ______.

A．to know his baby better

While I will explain a bit about the science of stress and relaxation a little later simple way to think about it is that our body 's stress response works like a car alarm. Keep us safe by warning us of the presence of danger in our immediate environment.
But instead of warning us with a loud and annoying sound，our body alarm system lets us know that something is wrong by creating changes in our neurochemistry (神经化学）.If you've ever experienced pain in your stomach，periods of extreme anger, inability to focus or even insomnia (失眠），chances are your body was paying the price in those moments for the brain chemistry of stress.
So if it's so uncomfortable，why not just get rid of stress altogether?
This is not only impractical，it would be dangerous. Let's go back to the metaphor (比喻说法）of the car alarm. If the alarm is turned off altogether，the car is exposed to continual danger without there being any way of your knowing about it until it is too late. It would be like walking through the jungle without any fear signal in the presence of a poisonous snake or other dangerous animals — while it might feel “nice” to be so relaxed，your body actually needs the stress response not only to remind you of danger but also to offer extra adrenaline (肾上腺素) for your heart and extra blood and oxygen for your arms and legs.
However，if the car alarm goes off at any time，someone just looks at the car with a bit of an attitude，and it becomes equally useless. Not only do we stop paying attention to it，but it begins to drive us and everyone around us becomes a little bit crazy. In the case of our bodies，walking around in a constant state of alarm also has some pretty alarming health consequences，which we will explore in greater depth in the next chapter.
【小题1】Our body's stress response is compared to a car alarm in that .

A．they work all the time	B．they both give a signal
C．they work in the same way	D．they both produce a sound

【小题2】When our body alarm system works， .

A．we feel calm

B．we feel excited

C．some changes happen in our brain

D．some changes happen in our heart

【小题3】What would happen if stress were got rid of completely?

A．We'11 be free of worries.

B．We'11 achieve a sense of safety.

C．We'11 reach a perfect state of mind.

D．We'11 fail to realize the possible danger.

【小题4】What's the purpose of giving the example of walking through the Jungle in Paragraph 4?

A．To show the harm of stress.

B．To show the effect of stress.

C．To explain the function of stress response.

D．To explain the necessity of stress response.
