In the 1960s, medical researchers Thomas Holmes and Richard Rahe developed a checklist

of stressful events. They appreciated the tricky point that any major change can be

stressful. Bad events like "serious illness of a family member" were high on the list,

but so were some helpful 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 dramatically (戏剧性的) affects

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 titles 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 — are impossible to avoid.

Moreover, any warning to avoid all stressful events is a prescription (处方) for

staying away from chances 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. The idea that all stress makes you sick also takes no notice

of a lot of what we know about people. It supposes we' re all vulnerable and not active

in the face of the difficult situation. But what about human ability and creativity?

Many come through periods of stress with more physical and mental strength than they

had before. We also know that a long time without change or challenge can lead to

boredom and physical and mental pressure.
