Later, they found out hitting two piece of stone together could make a spark (火花). The spark could fire dry leaves. In this way they could make the fire again if it went out. Them people also learned to make a fire by rubbing. They made a hole on a big piece of wood and put a smaller stick into the hole. They turned the stick again and again. After a few minutes they got a fire. As years went by, people learned other ways to make a fire. Sometimes they used the heat from sun. they held a piece of glass in the right way and made a piece of paper on fire. About two centuries ago, people began to make matches (火柴). Matches brought people a quick and easy way to make fire. Today matches are still being used, but people have more new ways to make fires. One of them is to use an electric fire starter.

Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for ahealthy mind and body.   Stress is a natural part of everyday 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 sign of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between "flight or fight" and in more primitive days the choices made the difference between life or death. The crises we meet today are unlikely 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. Since we can't remove stress from our lives (it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it.6．People are finding less and less time for relaxing themselves because _____.A．they regard working as their greatest enjoymentB．they believe that work is superior to relaxationC．they are traveling fast all the timeD．they are becoming busier with their work than ever before7．According to the author, the most important character for a good manager is his _____.A．strong will to hold out stressB．knowing the art of relaxationC．high sense of responsibilityD．having control over performance8．Which of the following statements is TRUE, according to the passage? A．We can find quite a few ways to avoid stress.B．Stress is always harmful to people's healthC．It's easy to change the habit of keeping oneself busy with work.D．Different people can bear different amount of stress.9．In the last sentence of the passage, "do so" refers to _____.A．"expose ourse。
