　　福建高考阅读模拟训练原文

　　Our ancestors didn't develop a constant stress environment.Back then，stress came quickly and was over quickly，it wasn't like the stress of modern education.Stress was originally just a short­term biological response to danger;however，the constant stress of modern education rarely stops.It's long term，at least ten years and usually more.

　　Recent research has shown that the neurological(神经系统的)response to stress is the same response that is found in depression.So，what's the solution? A number have been proposed，including but not limited to the following.

　　________.Exercise consumes energy that would otherwise build up in the stress response and could cause physical and mental problems.

　　Teach relaxation exercises.Allowing the mind and body to relax cuts off the stress response and reduces the neurological fatigue，enabling the individual to recover at least somewhat.

　　Pay attention to thinking.Training the stressed student to pay attention to his or her own mind to a point where he or she is sufficiently aware to shut off the stress response when necessary.

　　Of course，there's a logical answer to the problem.Just rearrange our teaching methods to encourage，rather than prevent，the natural curiosity and joy in learning that we are all born with.This would remove the stress and probably cut learning time in half.
