宁波市2015高考英语四月两天一练及答案07.docVIP

阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。 体裁：议论文　话题：如何减压　时间：6分钟 Our children feel stressed out by an educational system that actually uses stress as an educational technique.Its a constant pressure of homework deadlines，essays and exams.And our children are told at a young age that failing a test means that they are failures in life.Theyll end up nowhere if they dont pass this or that exam.Our educational system is based on a very Western idea that life is a struggle and youd better measure up.Its survival of the fittest.While there is some truth to this，not as much as people think. Our ancestors didnt develop a constant stress environment.Back then，stress came quickly and was over quickly，it wasnt like the stress of modern education.Stress was originally just a short-term biological response to danger；however，the constant stress of modern education rarely stops.Its long term，at least ten years and usually more. Recent research has shown that the neurological(神经系统的)response to stress is the same response that is found in depression.So，whats the solution? A number have been proposed，including but not limited to the following. ________.Exercise consumes energy that would otherwise build up in the stress response and could cause physical and mental problems. Teach relaxation exercises.Allowing the mind and body to relax cuts off the stress response and reduces the neurological fatigue，enabling the individual to recover at least somewhat. Pay attention to thinking.Training the stressed student to pay attention to his or her own mind to a point where he or she is sufficiently aware to shut off the stress response when necessary. Of course，theres a logical answer to the problem.Just rearrange our teaching methods to encourage，rather than prevent，the natural curiosity and joy in learning that we are all born with.This would remove the stress and probably cut learning time in half. 【语篇导读】　在现行教育制度下，孩子们的压力很大，已经不堪重负了。作为家长和老师，应该怎样有效的帮助孩子减压呢？ 1．What is the main idea of the passage?
