高中英语语法填空:短文题型基础练习 Test 10

What would you say when you are under work pressure, “stressed out and frantic（狂乱的）” or “ 　61　 (challenge) and energized”? There is very little physiological difference between the two, says a growing contingent of experts 　62　 claim work stress has an upside. These experts believe that stress can strengthen you or tear you 　63　 . In most cases, you can choose.

Give stress a good name. Why resent work stress — it's an indicator that your career is advancing. Think of a heavy work loadas an 　64　 (excite) opportunity to push yourself, learn new skills and show your mettle. 　65　 (complain) depletes your energy; instead, greet an overloaded day with optimism. Tell yourself, “This is a challenge I am capable of handling.”

　66　 (put) it in perspective, sometimes it's impossible to talk about the positive side of stress — say your computer crashes and you lose valuable work—　67　 you can moderate（节制，减轻） your reaction. Rate your distress on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being mild irritation and 10 extreme panic or anger. Now, rank the importance of the situation from 1 (a notice) to 10 (you're fired). 　68　 your distress ranks 　69　 (high) than the seriousness of the situation, ask yourself: Is this something I will remember in four years, four months, four days? Then downshift your response 　70　 (according), saving your emotional energy for disasters.
