1. (2023八下·萧山期中) 阅读下列材料，从每题所给的四个选项（A,B,C,和D）中选出最佳选项。

"Pressure"（压力）means that people are expecting a lot of you. It also means that you sometimes have to do a lot of things in a short period of time. Pressure seems to be a part of modern life; everyone feels it. People feel pressure at work, students feel pressure at school and everyone sometimes feels the pressure of trying to please their friends and family.

Surprising as it may sound, though, pressure can be a good thing. When you are under pressure it helps you to focus and think hard about the problems that have to be solved. It forces you to plan your time, to decide which problems are more important and which are less important. And, in the end, when you face these problems you will become a better, stronger person.

Of course, pressure isn't always beneficial. Too much pressure causes stress and it can affect your health. It affects your heart, your blood circulation and your nervous system. When this happens, it's time to get help from a doctor. If you are feeling this way, make sure you tell someone. The worst way to handle "negative"（消极的）pressure is to keep silent; it will only make things worse. Your attitude has a lot to do with how you deal with pressure. When faced with a problem, try to look at it as a challenge than trouble.

Life is filled with problems and pressures-they are never going away, so we have to face them. In the end it makes us better people and we can shine like diamonds.
