In a classroom in any country,  the teacher teaches more than art or history or language.  He or she teaches what is known as the “hidden course”—the culture of that country.

In a society such as the United States,  people with different history,  culture and language join together and they highly value individualism (个人主义).  Their education,  as a part of the society,  also values this greatly.  Teachers try to make each student special.  Students do not have to memorize a lot of information，instead,  they work individually and find answers by themselves.  There is often discussion in the classroom.  At an early age students learn to form their own ideas and opinions.  Their education encourages personal thought.  The importance is placed on how to arrive at an answer but not simply to get the correct answer.

In most Asian countries,  people have the same language,  history,  and culture.  Perhaps for this reason,  the education there shows society’s value in group goals and purposes rather than individualism.  Children in China and Japan often work together and help each other with homework.  In the classroom,  the teaching methods are often very traditional.  The teacher says,  and the students listen. There is not much discussion.  Instead,  the students repeat rules of information that they have been taught in order to keep them in mind.

In many ways these differences come from different educational psychology (心理学).  In Western countries teachers are taught to nurture (培养) students.  They make it easier for the students to learn for themselves.  In the Orient,  however,  teachers often feel that their task is to pass knowledge to students,  or the students can’t learn anything.

While it is impossible to live completely free of stress,  it is possible to prevent stress as well as reduce its effect when it can’t be avoided.  The US Department of Health and Human Services offers the following suggestions for ways to deal with stress.

·Try physical activities

When you are nervous,  angry or upset,  try releasing the pressure through exercise or physical activities.  Running,  walking,  playing tennis,  or working in your garden are just some of the activities you might try.

·Take care of yourself

You should make every effort to eat well and get enough rest.  If you easily get angry and cannot sleep well enough,  or if you’re not eating properly,  it will be more likely that you will fall into stressful situations.  If stress repeatedly keeps you from sleeping,  you should consult a doctor.

·Make time for yourself

Schedule time for both work and entertainment. Don’t forget,  play can be just as important to your overall well-being as work.  You need a break from your daily routine to just relax and have fun.  Go window-shopping or work on a hobby.  Allow yourself at least half an hour each day to do something you enjoy.

·Make a list of things to do

Stress can result from disorganization and a feeling that “there’s so much to do,  and not enough time”.  Trying to take care of everything at once can be too much for you and as a result,  you may not achieve anything.  Instead, make a list of everything you have to do, then_______ , checking off each task as it is completed. Set out to do the most important task first.

Roy wasn’t the only one to receive his call-up(入伍) papers.  Stephen Napier’s call-up came at the beginning of February and he was pleased to find that he would be going into the Royal Air Force(RAF).

His father was not so pleased and made his feelings known as he and Stephen were on their daily walk.  It was the first step in his plans for Stephen to take over the estate(地产) when the time came,  and although Stephen was well aware of this,  he could think of no reason not to accompany him.

“Though you’d forgotten that nonsense.  Still,  I dare say I could pull a few strings to get you to the Army. . . ”

“No,  Father!  I have told you I want to learn to fly.  What chance would I have to do that in the Army?  I’d be better off in the Navy—at least they’ve got the Fleet Air Arm.  But I have been put in the RAF and that’s where I want to go,  so let’s leave it at that. ” His face went red.  Sent to his father’s school and then to Cambridge,  much to his satisfaction,  he had never had to defend his own desires and his father was a hard man to oppose.

The father glared at Stephen,  “No,  I won’t leave it at that.  I want to know what other ridiculous ideas are in your head.  For a start,  what’s all this about America? ”

“America? ”

“Yes.  All those books I saw in your room the other day.  Brochures about emigration(移民)．” The big，silvered head lowered，like that of a bull about to charge.  “ Don’t trouble to deny it. ”

“I won’t，Father.  Some men at Cambridge have been talking about it.  They want people like us here，mathematicians and scientists，for all kinds of research—the sort of research I could do.  It would be a worthwhile life for me. ”

The father responded exactly as his son had known he would.  “You’ve got a worthwhile life here!  You’ve got an estate to run！”

“No，Father.  You’ve got an estate to run.  I never asked for it.  Why not ask Baden to do this stuff?  He perhaps can make a good job of it，but I. . . ”

“If he were here，I might think about this silly idea of yours—only think about it，mind you—but. . . ”
