The word recently voted most popular among Danes is pyt, a term that describes the nation’s philosophy toward 11 .
答案：(B) stress
語意「這個字描述了這個國家對『壓力』的哲學態度」，stress（壓力）符合後文說明pyt是用來面對日常小挫折的心態；health（健康）、culture（文化）、friendship（友誼）都不合。
本題大考中心未公布逐題答對率，以下不談數據，只談觀念。
四個選項都是很正面的大詞（健康、壓力、文化、友誼），而這一段開頭就在講丹麥人有多快樂，culture（文化）看起來很搭。這一格要看的是這個字後面究竟在解釋什麼。
四個選項都是名詞，可見這一格考的是語意，那就往後讀。空格所在的句子是 a term that describes the nation’s philosophy toward ___（一個描述這個國家對……的處世態度的詞）。再往下讀兩句：It is usually used as a response to a daily mistake or small frustration（它通常用來回應日常的小失誤或小挫折）、a reminder to step back and refocus rather than overreact（提醒人退一步、重新聚焦，而不要反應過度）。日常的小失誤、小挫折、不要反應過度——整段講的就是怎麼面對壓力，所以填 stress。
culture（文化）：pyt 本身是文化的一部分，但「對文化的處世態度」語意繞不回來，而且後文一句也沒提到文化。health（健康）：整段沒有提到身體或心理健康的內容。friendship（友誼）：pyt 是一個人面對自己遭遇的態度，與人際關係無關。
one’s philosophy toward（對……的處世態度）、deal with stress（處理壓力）、a small frustration（小挫折）、step back（退一步）、overreact（反應過度）、score high in（在……得到高分）。
Denmark consistently scores high in global happiness rankings, and Danish people have some cool words for ways to be happy. The word recently voted most popular among Danes is pyt, a term that describes the nation's philosophy toward 11 . Pyt doesn't have an exact English translation. It is usually used as a 12 to a daily mistake or small frustration, corresponding roughly to the English sayings, "Don't worry about it," or "Well, things happen."
At its core, the word is about accepting and resetting—a reminder to step back and refocus rather than overreact. Pyt doesn't point blame at either yourself or another person; 13 , it helps you learn that not everything can be perfect. But this does not mean that pyt applies to everything. It should not be used when you ought to take responsibility; 14 should it be taken as an excuse for inaction.
Today, the word is even manifested into a literal "pyt button" in Danish classrooms for schoolchildren to press when they are upset about something insignificant. Some adults have also started using the button at home. Basically, pyt encourages people of all ages to 15 minor frustrations and move on with their lives.
