第二节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）
As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. 16 you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to 17 down. But relaxation is 18 for a healthy mind and body.
Stress is a 19 part of everyday life and there is no way to 20 it. In fact, it is not the bad thing that it is often supposed to be. A 21 amount of stress is important to provide motivation and give 22 to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control 23 it can lead to poor performance and 24 health. The amount of stress a person can bear 25 very much on the
individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such 26 are obviously chief material for managerial responsibilities. Others lose heart at the 27 of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in 28 form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make a choice between 29 and fight. And in more ancient days the choices made the 30 between life and death. The crises (危机) we meet today are 31 to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it requires the same response. It is when such a reaction 32 long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes 33 . Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart diseases
have 34 links with stress. 35 we cannot remove stress from our lives (it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it.

A
Since the making in 201486 of the Domesday Survey, a detailed
compilation(编纂) that enabled the earliest reasonable estimate of England’s population to be made (the survey did not cover other areas),the number of people has been increasing. This growth has
continued despite some setbacks, by far the most serious of which was the Black Death in the mid-14th century, in which it is estimated that about one third of the population died. There is little concrete information, however, concerning variation in rates of births to deaths and of immigration to emigration until 1801,when the first official census(人口普查) was taken．The assumption is that a population of about two million lived in what became the United Kingdom at the end of the 11th century and that this figure had increased to about 12 million by 1801. This slow growth rate, in contrast with that of more modern times, resulted mainly from the fact that a high birth rate was accompanied by an almost equally high death rate．It is estimated that in the first half of the 18th century three quarters of the children born in London died before they reached adolescence．Despite the awful living conditions it produced, the Industrial Revolution resulted in an acceleration of the birth rate; gradually the greater medical knowledge, improved nutrition, and concern for public health that characterized the 19th and 20th centuries bore fruit in a lower death rate and an overall increase in population. Since the 1930s the population has
