This paper has 20 questions.
Only one alternative is the most appropriate answer.
Do not tick more than one option.
1. Read the comprehension and answer the question that follow:
Stress has become an all purpose gimmick to get our attention. Many magazines and TV shows
love nothing more than suggesting that we can’t make it through the day without practically dying
from stress. Yes, we all have stress. But not all day, not everyday. I find it rather insulting to hear
that we can’t keep ourselves together when we are merely going about good, if sometimes
complicated lives.
The newest research says that the best way to handle stress is not by checking into a day spa or
any thing else where the end goal is stress reduction. That sort of binge and purge approach does
little to keep us relaxed. Instead we should simply acknowledge that life is full of little tensions
because, well that’s life! And we should handle it moment by moment the way people always have,
by taking a deep breath and getting the right perspective of things.
