    A teacher began his class by holding up a glass with some water in it.  He held it up for all to see, and asked the students, " How much do you think this glass weighs?"
    "50 g!" "100 g!" "125 g!" the students answered.
    "I really don't know unless I weigh it," said the teacher, "but my question is what would happen if I held it up like this for a few minutes?"
    " Nothing! " the students said.
    "OK. What would happen if I held it up like this for an hour?" the teacher asked.
    "Your arm would begin to ache," said one of the students.
    "You're right.  Now, what would happen if I held it for a day?"
    "Your arm could go numb. Have to go to hospital for sure!" said another student. All the students laughed.
    "Very good. But during all this, did the weight of the glass change?" asked the teacher.
    "No." the students said.
    "Then what caused the arm ache and the muscle (肌肉) stress?"
    The students fell silent for a moment.
    "Put the glass down!" said one of the students.
    "Exactly!" said the teacher. "The problems of life are something like this. Hold them for a few minutes in your head, and it seems OK. Think of them for a long time and they begin to make you ache. Hold them even longer and you will not be able to do anything. It's important to think of the  challenges(挑战)  in your life, but it' s even more important to put them down at the end of every day before you go to sleep. That way, you are not stressed. You wake up fresh and strong and can deal with any challenge that comes your way!"
    Remember to put the glass down today.

    American people like to say “Thank you” when others help them or say something kind to them. People of many other countries do so, too. It is a very good habit.
    You should say “Thank you” when someone passes you the salt on the table, when someone walking before you keeps the door open for you, when someone says you have done your work well, or you have bought a nice thing, or your city is very beautiful. “Thank you” is used not only between friends, but also between parents and children, brother and sisters, husbands and wives.
    “Excuse me” is another short sentence they use. When you hear someone say so behind you, you know that someone wants to walk past you.

    Have you ever complained (抱怨) why life is so tiring? Does the sky sometimes    dark to you? Are your lessons sometimes not successful? Well, friends, cheer up and      all the time. If you see the world with your warm heart, you will find the whole world smiling to you..
    Not long ago, a friend of mine decided to read a lot of books to get      knowledge. So he went to the library and     happily with several books. But after a few days, he felt bored. The idea of finishing all of the books seemed     , because it was     for him to sit quietly to read a whole book. He didn’t know what to do. Then one day, he suddenly thought of “Why not make reading fun?” It gave him      again. Reading is a journey of spirit(心灵之旅). Every time when we     a book, we are actually talking     the writer. Since then, he tried to spend more time reading books, so he could feel all of the writer’s happiness and sadness. And reading is    boring, but kind of interesting.
    Attitude can make a great     . Someone once said, “    the situation is bad, people are free to choose their attitude.” So, don’t complain about the situation. It helps     . For example, one day the weather is fine. You and your friends want to go for a picnic. Just before you go, it  suddenly starts to rain. Maybe you would feel very      and start to complain about the weather. But dear friends, why  don’t you sit down and listen to the free concert that the nature brings you? And with the timely rain, crops(庄稼) in the fields will grow better and farmers will have a good harvest (收成).
    Attitude decides everything. With an optimistic (乐观的) attitude, life is easy and happy. Let’s smile to     we meet and the whole world will smile to us.

    It is the duty of every man to work. The life of a lazy man isn’t useful to himself and to others. If one is too lazy to work ,he will probably beg (乞讨) or steal (偷).So every boy, when he is young, should learn some useful work.
