試題分析：本文講述的是我們在日常生活中所遇見的壓力，以及我們該如何處理我們遇見的這些壓力。

1.C 這里是一個(gè)固定搭配go from…to…從…到..；本句是指從早忙到晚。Going是一個(gè)動(dòng)名詞，用the表示特指。

2.A 上下文之間存在著轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。雖然我們很忙，但是放松自己是十分的必要的。

3.F 本句的supposed表示“被認(rèn)為..”句義：事實(shí)上，它并不是被認(rèn)為的那樣很壞的事情。適度的壓力不是壞事，

4.D 本句是指當(dāng)壓力失去控制的時(shí)候，壓力會(huì)導(dǎo)致我們表現(xiàn)糟糕，身體不健康。

5.H 有些人不擔(dān)心壓力，這樣的性格是管理責(zé)任的基本原料。也就是說如果需要有這樣的管理能力，必須有這樣的性格特征。prime修飾material

6.I 本句原料是一個(gè)固定搭配be exposed to…暴露在…之中；接觸…；本句使用形容詞短語對句中的主語we的情況進(jìn)行說明。句義：當(dāng)我們接觸到壓力的時(shí)候，無論這種壓力是以何種形式，我們都會(huì)在精神上和肉體上做出回應(yīng)。

7.E 名詞crise指危機(jī)，本句是指我們現(xiàn)在遇見的危機(jī)不可能和過去那樣一樣的極端，但是無論壓力是多么的小，都會(huì)有同樣的回應(yīng)。

8.J 動(dòng)詞involve涉及，使…卷入..；本句是指無論壓力多小，都會(huì)涉及到同樣的反應(yīng)。也就是說我們都會(huì)對這樣的壓力做出回應(yīng)。

9.B 形容詞endangered處于危險(xiǎn)中；句義：當(dāng)我們長時(shí)間暴露在壓力之下，我們的健康就會(huì)受到威脅，會(huì)處于危險(xiǎn)之中。
