Most people would say they know what stress is, but for scientists who study stress, it has been surprisingly hard to
define. This is because there are so many ways of looking at stress. Some researchers have studied how our bodies react to
stress. You know how your heart beats faster, you perspire more heavily, and your words do not come out right when you
are placed in a stressful situation. But knowing how we feel when experience stress does not explain it; nor does it tell us
what causes it.
Other scientists have looked at stressors: events or situations that produce stress. A deadline, a poor test performance,
or bothersome noises all may be thought of as stressors. Even pleasant events can be stressors. Planning a party or
starting a new job can be just as stressful as being called to the principal’s office. Stress, then, can be caused by both
negative and positive events, or stressors. Of course, whether an event is thought of as positive or negative is, in some
ways, a matter of personal choice.
In sum, it is the way people interpret an event that makes it stressful or not stressful. This process of interpretation is
called appraisal. Depending on how people appraise, or judge, circumstances, they may or may not consider them
stressful.
17. The scientists find it hard to define stress.
18. Knowing our feelings about stress can explain what causes the stress.
19. Whether an event is considered stressful may be determined by the way people interpret it.
20. Sometimes whether an event is negative or not is based on a personal decision.

21. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in paragraph 2 as stressors?
A. Faster running
B. A poor test performance
C. Annoying noises
D. A deadline

A. surprising
B. enjoyable
C. impressive
D. continuous
