Câu hỏi: Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
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 life, being on the go from morning to night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body.
Stress is a natural part of every life 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 and 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 not likely 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 (and it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it.
In paragraph 3, “such a reaction” refers back to__________.
A. making a choice between “fight” or “flight.”
B. reaction to stress both chemically and physically.
C. responding to crises quickly.
D. losing heart at the signs of difficulties.

Trong đoạn 3, “such a reaction” ám chỉ đến___________
A. đưa ra lựa chọn giữa phản ứng chống trả hay bỏ chạy
B. phản ứng với căng thẳng cả về mặt hóa học và thể chất
C. ứng phó với khủng hoảng nhanh chóng
D. chán nản trước những khó khăn
=> Căn cứ vào thông tin đoạn văn:
"When exposed to stress in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically.... The crises we meet today are not likely 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."
(Khi tiếp xúc với căng thẳng dưới mọi hình thức, chúng ta sẽ phản ứng cả về mặt hóa học và thể chất. ... Các cuộc khủng hoảng mà chúng ta gặp ngày nay dường như không quá cực đoan, nhưng dù nó ít căng thẳng, nó vẫn liên quan đến cùng một phản ứng. Khi một phản ứng như vậy kéo dài, thông qua tiếp xúc với căng thẳng mà sức khỏe trở nên bị nguy hiểm.)
=> Do đó, “such a reaction” ở đây ám chỉ đến phản ứng với căng thẳng cả về mặt hóa học và thể chất.
