Personality is the way a person acts, feels and thinks.Some people are aggressive and always in a hurry. They often become angry when things do not happen the way they planned. They belong to “Type A” personality. Studies suggest that these people often get stressrelated disorders. The “Type B” personality is calmer. These people are able to deal with all kinds of situations more easily. As a result, they are less affected by stress.Studies have also shown that men and women deal with stress differently. Women seem to be better able to deal with stress than men are.However, experts say women are three times more likely to develop depression in reaction to the stress in their lives. American writer John Gray became famous for his book，“Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus”He notes that men and women have opposite ways of dealing with stress. For a man，the best way is to rest and forget about daily problems. But a woman suffering from stress needs to talk about her problems.Experts say there are several ways to deal with stress, including deep breathing, exercise, eating healthy foods, getting enough rest and balancing the time spent in working and playing.Exercise is one of the most effective stressreduction measures, as physical changes from exercise make you feel better. In addition, exercise can also improve the bodys defense system against disease.Keeping stress to yourself can make problems worse. Experts say that expressing emotions to friends or family members or writing down your feelings can help reduce stress. And they also suggest that people should attempt to accept or change stressful situations whenever possible.语篇解读：由于人的个性差异，每个人处理压力的方法是不一样的，而且男人和女人在处理压力方面表现得也不一样。让我们一览文章，去看看这种差别在哪里。5According to the experts，_.Apeople respond to stress quite differentlyBpeople make the same response to stressCunlike women, men tend to feel depressed more easilyDpersonality has nothing to do with how we experience stress解析：推理判断题。从文章第一段可知，性格影响人们处理压力的方式，同时第二段提到了A型和B型性格的人处理压力的不同方式，第三段提到了男人和女人处理压力的不同方式，由此可知，专家认为人们处理压力的方式是不同的，因人而异，故答案选A项。答案：A6.
