As a teenager, I am often asked what I am going to be in the future. A lawyer? A doctor? Or a scientist? No, my ideal career is to be a teacher. One of the  1. for that is I want to be a teacher like Mr. Chen.

“Look! Do you know what it is? A-ha, it’s the   2.  ! And it will always move around the sun.” Mr. Chen said and pointed to his head.

What do you think of stress? Is it a good thing or a bad thing?

Most of the students think stress can do harm   16   them in some ways. There’s a story about a teenager in a middle school. He even   17   his study because of the stress from school and family. We also usually   18   that someone turns to psychological doctors because of heavy working stress. There is no doubt that some people think stress is a dangerous wolf.

On the other hand, other people argue that stress is not a bad thing. They  19   stress can produce momentum(动力）in the end. For them, right attitude and action can reduce stress and make it   20   . When I was a child, my mom always pushed me to study hard. She wished I could go to an ideal   21   for further education. I experienced stress for the first time. Porn to a poor family, I deeply knew   22   was not easy for us, and everything my mom did to me was just to hope I could live a better life in the future.   23   the saying goes, “no pains, no gains.” So I did what my mom expected because I didn’t want to let her down. At last, I did measure up(达到标准） to my mom’s expectation and go to college   24  . Thanks to my mom’s push! Thanks to the stress! In this way, I don’t think stress is a bad thing.

Overall, stress is not a bad thing in   25  . The key is how we deal with it.
