As the pace of life continues to increase ,we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through lift,being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down.
But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body.Stress is an natural part of everyday lift and there is no way to avoid it. In fact ,it is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be .A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation adn give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.
The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress,and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities. Others lose heart at the first signs of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress,in whatever form,we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between "fight" or "flight" and in more primitive days the choice made the difference between life or death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme,but however little the stress,it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long,through continued exposure to stress,that health becomes endangered.Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart disease have established links with stress.Since 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.
In the last sentence of the passage,"do so " refers to _____C_.

a."expose ourselves to stress"
b."find ways to deal with stress"
c."remove stress from our lives"
d."established links between diseases and stress"

Stress makes a person want to stop whatever they are doing,try to relax,and become calm again．Too much stress results in physical,emotional,and mental health problems.
There are numerous physical effects of stress．Stress can affect the heart．It can increase the pulse rate,make the heart miss beats,and can cause high blood pressure．Stress can affect the respiratory system．It can lead to asthma．It can cause a person to breathe too fast,resulting in a loss of important carbon dioxide．Stress can affect the stomach．It can cause stomach aches and problems digesting food．These are only a few examples of the wide range of illnesses and symptoms resulting from stress.
Emotions are also easily affected by stress．People suffering from stress often feel anxious．They may have panic attacks．They may feel tired all the time．When people are under stress,they often overreact to little problems．For example,a normally gentle parent under a lot of stress at work may yell at a child for dropping a glass of juice．Stress can make people angry,moody,or nervous.
Long-term stress can lead to a variety of serious mental illnesses．Depression,an extreme feeling of sadness and hopelessness,can be the result of continued and increasing stress．Alcoholism and other addictions often develop as a result of overuse of alcohol or drugs to try to relieve stress．Eating disorders,such as anorexia,are sometimes caused by stress and are often made worse by stress．If stress is allowed to continue,then one's mental health is put at risk.
It is obvious that stress is a serious problem．It attacks the body．So,reduce stress:stop the world and rest for a while.

资料：Stress is a common factor in life. Children experience stress from school, new social situations and simply growing up. Adults feel the stress of working, paying bills, raising kids and maintaining households. Seniors also feel stress, even though some may have retired, raised their children and paid off their homes. Certain amounts of stress are a part of life for people of all ages.
For seniors, stress has the potential to be especially overwhelming. This type of tension in older adults has unique contributing factors, such as the loss of an elderly spouse or friends. Living alone can increase the sense of isolation. Sometimes the simple tasks of everyday life can cause stress in those who experience physical or medical limitations. The effects of stress can sometimes exacerbate health conditions from which some seniors suffer, causing additional worry.
Stress can be detected in various ways. You may follow the five most common ways to find out if a loved one’s stress is cause for concern:
1. Changes in eating habits, such as over-eating or loss of appetite, can be caused by overwhelming stress.
2. Mood swings due to stress may present in increased irritability, general sadness or depression.
3. Memory issues may arise in the form of increased forgetfulness of names, places or other things that normally come naturally. Lack of concentration may become a problem. Some seniors may exercise poor judgment, such as excessive spending when they are already on a limited budget.
4. Physical signs of stress can include body aches and pains or increased episodes of illness. Changes in sleeping patterns—either trouble falling asleep or interrupted nighttime sleep—can signal significant stress.
5. Seniors experiencing overwhelming stress often isolate themselves from others, refusing to socialize or participate in activities they used to enjoy.

What does the word “exacerbate”（Line 4, Paragraph 2） probably mean?

A.Affect
B.Improve
C.Intensify
D.Worsen
