【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】[解析] 1-2 Management requires a great deal of energy and effort-- more than most people care to make. One factor that affects managers and inhibits their capacity to provide leadership is stress. Stress has lots of causes--work overload, criticism from workers--and can have negative health effects, including loss of sleep. It's a fact: managers have to deal with stress. Some handle it by making time to be by themselves. Most have some favorite place or pastime--a beach to walk on, maybe a stream to fish in, or a game to play with the kids. It's important to have some form of rest and relaxation---creating art, working with your hands, gardening, playing sports--the list goes on. Rest doesn't always mean inactivity. For some people, exercise is rest. 1. What is the main purpose of the talk? The main purpose of the talk is to discuss ways of dealing with stress.
