We are often faced with stressors that are outside of our control, from rare natural disasters to everyday traffic jams. There is a good deal of evidence that ?1 ?events are particularly stressful. This has been shown in studies of “executive rats,” in ?2 ?two rats receive exactly the same electric shock, ?3 ?one is given a lever (杠桿) that could be used to turn the shock off after it occurs. Over a long series of such trials, the partner rat, helpless to do anything about its pain, is more ?4 ?to develop ulcers (潰瘍) than is the “executive”.
Stress is mostly caused by ?5 ?events. Uncertainty about an ?6 ?makes it more disturbing. One study found that subjects who were told that they had a 5 percent chance of receiving an electric shock were actually more uneasy than ?7 ?who were told that they had a 50 percent chance.

Psychologists Susan Folkman and Richard Lazarus examined undergraduate students coping strategies at three time periods—two ?11 ?before a midterm examination, a week later two days before the grades were announced, and five days after the grades were posted. ?12 ?the exam, students tended to use such problemfocused strategies as studying—a guaranteed way to reduce the potential problems. After the exam, when their fates were sealed, if they sought out others, it was usually for emotional support.
Like other animals, humans have always been safer in groups. ?13 ?physical protection, people provide ?14 ?support that can reduce the psychological and physiological symptoms of stress.

In ?16 , people who have strong social ties are usually more resistant to disease. For instance, after ?17 ?as having a life threatening disease, married people are likely to survive longer than unmarried people.
