1. 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.
