The amount of stress a person can bear 30 very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such 31 are obviously chief material for managerial.(管理的) responsibilities. Other people lose heart at first 32 of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in 33 form , we react both physically and mentally. In fact we make a choice between “34 and fight”.

It is when such a reaction 37 a long time, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes 38 .
