Stress Level Tied to Education Level
People with less education suffer fewer stressful days,according to a report in the current issue of the Journal of Health and Social Behavior.
However,the study also found that when 1ess-educated people did suffer stress it was more severe and had a larger impact on their health.
From this.researchers have concluded that the day-to-day factors that cause stress are not random.Ⅵr11ere you are in society determines the kinds of problems that you have each day,and how well you will cope with them.
The research team interviewed a national sample of 1.03 1 adults daily for eight days about their stress level and health.People without a high school diploma reported stress on 30 percent of the study days,people with a high school degree reported stress 38 percent of the time,and people with college degrees reported stress 44 percent of the time.
Less advantaged people are less healthy on a daily basis and are more likely to have downward turns in their health.'"lead researcher Dr.Joseph Grzywacz,of Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center,said in a prepared statement."The downward turns in health were connected with daily stressors.and the effect of daily stressors on their health is much more devastating for the less advantaged."
Grzywacz suggested follow-up research to determine why less-educated people report fewer days of stress when it is known their stress is more acute and chronic.
"If something happens every day,maybe it'snot seen as a stressor"Grzywacz says."Maybe it is just 1ife."

答案：1. B 從文章題目便可得知,一個(gè)人的緊張程度與其受教育的程度掛鉤,而受教育的程度又直接影響一個(gè)人的社會(huì)地位。因此,文章第三段提到,一個(gè)人的社會(huì)地位決定了其每日所面臨的問題和處理這些問題的能力。由此可見,緊張程度與社會(huì)地位密切相關(guān)。
2. A 文章第四段提到,研究人員對(duì)全國(guó)抽樣的1 031名成人連續(xù)八天每天進(jìn)行采訪。
3. D 從文章第四段可以得知,調(diào)查對(duì)象學(xué)歷越高,自己所報(bào)告的緊張?zhí)鞌?shù)便越多。
4. A 文章第五段提到,一個(gè)人的社會(huì)地位越低,緊張對(duì)其健康造成的危害也就越大。
5. C 文章最后兩段提到,受教育程度越低者所報(bào)告緊張?zhí)鞌?shù)越少的原因有可能是他們對(duì)緊張因素己司空見慣,視其為生活的一部分,而不是什么特別值得注意的。
