【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】[听力原文]23-30 F：Mr．Hunt，what do you think is the major cause of stress? M：Stress is generally driven by the feeling of being out of control of a situation and the feeling of a situation controlling you．It's the feeling of uncertainty，being out of control，that causes the stress． F：So why exactly does your job have a reputation for being stressful? M：Well，trading financial markets combines both of the above-mentioned situations．Your financial position can change in a matter of seconds，and what changes that position is generally a situation beyond your control as a trader．It is possible to lose in seconds what may have taken you a year to make．I think that's why many people say trader is a stressful job． F：How do you relax in the evening? M：In the evening，I very rarely do anything related to my work，so it's easy to escape‘the markets’．I generally go to the gym or go for a run．especially if I've had a bad day．I always cook a meal rather than have a takeaway，to do something my brain would regard as creative．I find it quite helpful!More often than not I will watch some TV before going to bed，as I find it helps me to wind down，to relax．If I go to bed straight after work，it's harder to sleep． F：What do you do to beat stress at the weekend? M：I like to be busy and active．I like the feeling of having achieved something over the weekend and it being productive．I definitely don't like wasting days．Most weekends are a mixture of household jobs like fixing something，shopping or gardening and socialising with friends．I also go to watch football games at least once a week． F：Do you think what you do to relax is an effective way to beat stress? M：I don't think there is a specific rule about how to beat stress．I generally find that what I do is effective for me． F：Would you consider changing your job because of the high stress factor? M：I have considered leaving my job because of those stress related factors．However，I think that anelement of stress is a good thing and if it is used the right way，it can actually be a positive thing．It can lead to a change in direction，success，and even encourage you to do something new． F：What do you enjoy about the stressful aspects of your job? M：Having said all that，I do actually enjoy an element of uncertainty．It requires you to keep alert all the time!I enjoy a mental challenge．Trading triggers a very wide range of emotions second by second． How you deal with and manage those emotions dictates short，medium and long term trading performance and success． F：Do you become less stressed the longer you do the job or does it become more stressful as you go on? M：I would say it remains constant．The source and the nature of the stress changes and how you deal with it changes due to experience，but，but，it's always there． Mr.Hunt认为造成工作压力的主要原因是什么?Mr．Hunt在采访中明确指出造成压力的主要原因是感到无法控制局面并且被局面所控制的不确定感(uncertainty)。所以正确的答案应该是C。短语：losing grip的意思同“losing control”。

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】交易人的工作压力为什么很大呢?Mr．Hunt，的回答说金融市场的交易结合了上述的两个方面(feeling of being out of control of a situation and the feeling of a situation controlling you)。交易人会感到情形时时刻刻都在变化，而对这些变化通常无能为力。几秒钟之内就可能丢掉好几年的奋斗成果。从中可以总结出金融市场总是处于不断的变化中，而变化总是不可预知，令人无所适从。因此正确的答案是A，难以预测市场。答案B，决定时间安排文中谈话中没有涉及，可以予以排除。答案C，“难以选择位置”也不正确。根据Mr．Hunt的回答，在金融市场中的地位并不是自己能够选择的，只能随着市场的变化而变化。

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】Mr．Hunt晚上不喜欢做什么?这是一个从否定的角度发问的题目，要特别注意一定要选出Mr．Hunt 不喜欢做的事，而不是喜欢的事。作对这道题的关键在于是否听到Mr．Hunt在回答这个问题时所说的一个否定词“rarely”。晚上，我很少做跟我的工作有关的事情(I very rarely do anything related to my Work)。那么很容易就能够选出答案C。随后Mr．Hunt还提到他通常会去健身馆或是跑跑步(go to the gym or go for a run)；还时常做做饭(cook a meal)，听到这些就可以排除答案B。最后他还说还有时(more often than not)喜欢在睡觉前看看电视，放松一下。据此也可以排除答案A。

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】Mr．Hunt周末的时候喜欢干什么?Mr．Hunt喜欢利用周末做些事情，不喜欢虚度时间(don't like wasting days)。所以我们可以排除答案A，睡觉。接着他又说周末通常是干些家里的活儿(household jobs)，比如修理东西(fixing something)，购物(shopping)，打理花园(gardening)，和朋友在一起(socialising with frlends)。所以我们可以选出答案B。Mr．Hunt最多隔两周就要去看一次足球赛，但是答案C说的是排球赛，细节错误，所以应予以排除。

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】Mr．Hunt认为应对压力最有效的办法是什么?Mr．Hunt回答说应对压力没有什么特定的规则。他的一切放松心情的做法对他来说都是有帮助的。A和B都不确切，Mr．Hunt并没有明确表示一定要保持忙碌而积极的态度，或是一定要跟朋友在一起，而是要尽量能让自己放松。所以C为正确答案。

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】Mr．Hunt为什么不愿意放弃这份压力很大的工作?Mr．Hunt回答如果处理得当的话，有点儿压力是件好事儿(a positive thing)，它能带来成功并能鼓励人创新(encourage you to do something new)。从中不难看出Mr．Hunt将压力视为动力的源泉(a source of motivation)。故C为正确答案。答案A，他下不了换工作的决心，谈话中没有涉及。答案B，这份工作能带来光明的前景，这个选项有一定的干扰性，但是它偷换了概念，曲解了Mr．Hunt的意思。Mr．Hunt说压力能够带来成功，但并不是说这份工作本身能带来美好的前途，所以还是应该予以排除。

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】为什么Mr．Hunt说要时刻保持警惕?Mr．Hunt说他其实很喜欢有一些不确定的因素，这能让人时刻保持警惕。而这些不确定性来自于哪里呢?还是来自于瞬息万变的经济形势。因此正确的答案是A。答案B，这些不确定性令交易人筋疲力尽，在Mr．Hunt的谈话中没有涉及，因此可以排除。答案C，快节奏的生活会造成心理问题，也不符合谈话内容。实际上Mr．Hunt说他很喜欢不确定性带来的巨大心理挑战(mental challenge)。

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】Mr．Hunt的压力程度同从业时间相比有何变化?随着工作时间和阅历的增长，Mr．Hunt承受的压力是更大了还是更小了呢?Mr．Hunt回答说其实没有什么变化(remain constant)。随后他又补充说压力的来源和本质(the source and the nature of the stress)发生了变化，但是随着经验越来越丰富，应对压力的方式也变化了。所以压力程度并没有变化。正确答案是C。
