A 41 amount of stress is important to provide motivation and give 42 to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control 43 it can lead to poor performance and 44 health. The amount of stress a person can bear 45 very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such 46 are obviously chief material for managerial responsibilities. Others lose heart at the 47 of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in 48 form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make a choice between 49 and fight. And in more ancient days the choices made the 50 between life and death. The crises (危机) we meet today are 51 to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it requires the same response. It is when such a reaction 52 long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes 53 .

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.
