Adeline Alvarez married at 18 and gave birth to a son, but wad determined to finish college. “I struggled a lot to get the college degree. I was living in so much frustration that that was my escape, to go to school, and get ahead and do better.” Later her marriage ended and she became a single mother. “It’s the hardest thing to take care of a teenager, have a job, pay the rent, pay the car payment, and pay the debt. I lived from paycheck to paycheck.”

Alvarez’s experience demonstrates the importance of finding ways to diffuse stress before it threatens your health and your ability to function.

　　[解题思路]

　　本题可以采用排除法来选出文章最好的标题。这篇文章主要讲述的是女性所面临的压力以及在压力下的表现。A选项的表述过于宽泛，没有突出文章中关注女性的特点。B选项提高了不同性别对于压力的不同反应，但是文章以女性为侧重点，但选项中没有体现这一特点，因此也是错误选项。C选项提高的chemicals只是文章提到的一个小方面，不足以概括全文，也可排除。而D选项既描述了不同性别对于压力的不同反应，又重点强调了女性，比较确切地概括了原文内容，因而是正确选项。

　　[A] 压力无处释放？

　　[B] 压力下的反应：性别不同
