【单选题】In the 1960’s, medical researchers Thomas Holmes and Richard Rahe developed a checklist of stressful events. They appreciated the tricky point that any major change can be stressful. Negative events like "serious illness of a family member" were high on the list, but so were some positive life-changing events, like marriage. When you take the HolmesRake test you must remember that the score does not reflect how you deal with stress—it only shows how much you have to deal with.And we now know that the way you handle these events dramatically affects your chances of staying healthy.
