in the 1960s, medical researchers thomas holmes and richard rahe developed a checklist of stressful (有壓力的) events.they found out that any major change could be stressful.negative events like“serious illness of a family member”were high on the list, but so were some positive life-changing events, like marriage.when you take the holmes-rahe test you must remember that the score does not show how you deal with stress-it only shows how much you have to deal with.and we now know that the way you deal with these events has a great effect on your chances of staying healthy.
by the early 1970s, hundreds of similar studies had followed holmes and rahe.and millions of americans who work and live under stress worried over the reports.somehow, the research got boiled down to a memorable message.women’s magazines ran headlines like“stress causes illness!”if you want to stay physically and mentally healthy, the articles said, avoid stressful events.but such simplistic advice is impossible to follow.even if stressful events are dangerous, many-like the death of a loved one is impossible to avoid.moreover, any warning to avoid all stressful events is a prescription(處方) for staying away from opportunities as well as trouble.since any change can be stressful, a person who wanted to be completely free of stress would never marry, have a child, take a new job or move.
