*** Read the following passage , then answer the questions below - :
Normal life never stays normal for long simply because it is full of change. Stress is our
reaction to change – all change, whether we see it positively or negatively.
Most people think stress is a negative reaction leading to feeling like anxiety. However, it
can also be a positive reaction that helps us deal well with change.
Stress reactions depend not only on the situation, but also on attitudes to it. The same
situation - a driving test, say – can affect two people very differently. One person is
confident, so he experiences a positive stress reaction – active concentration – and this leads
to success. The other lacks confidence. Negative stress reactions – fear and worry – take
over. These emotions easily turn to panic, and failure becomes more likely. We need some
stress in our lives . It can make us feel more alive and energetic . Without it , life would be
very boring. Problems only develop when there is too much negative stress.
