Face the Stress

    Have you had a headache during a test? Have you ever been so worried about something that you have a headache or even can't sleep at night? If so, then you know what stress is. Stress is what you feel when you are worried about something. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}You may feel angry, sad, scared, or afraid—all of which give you a stomachache or a headache.

    {#blank#}2{#/blank#}Some kinds of stress are beneficial and others are not. Good stress might happen when you're called to answer questions in class or when you have to give a speech. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} For example, you may do a better job in your test if the stress pushes you to prepare better before the test.

    On the other hand, bad stress can happen if the stress lasts too long. You may not feel well if your parents are fighting, if a family member is sick, if you're having problems at school, or if anything else makes you unhappy every day. That kind of stress isn't going to help you. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}

    {#blank#}5{#/blank#} Make sure you keep yourself in mind: Sleep, exercise, leisure, and food. If you get enough sleep and eat healthily, and if you exercise and leave and leave time for fun, you'll probably feel less stressed.

Dear Peter,

Welcome to our school!

Yours,

Li Hua

I have twin brothers, Tim and Tom. They look the same and a lot of people don't know which is which. They both have brown hair and blue eyes, and they always wear the same jeans and T-shirts. 

They like wearing the same things, and they like doing the same things, too. For example, they both like pop music, soccer and computers. They go to watch soccer matches every weekend. They'd like to play computer games every night, but our mother says they can't, because they have a lot of homework. 

They're twins, but they aren't the same in some ways. For example, Tim works hard at school, but Tom doesn't. 

Our mother is often away from home because she travels a lot in her job, so I have to help my twin brothers at home. But I think it's fun to have twin brothers. 

Confidence is very important in daily life. It is helpful to develop a healthy attitude (态度）. A study shows that the people who are more confident are much happier. And they can have more chances to be successful. Here are some suggestions to be more confident.

To feel your best during the day, you need to sleep well at night. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} Here are some simple things you can do to sleep better. 

Be smart about what you eat and drink.Don't eat too much food for dinner. It will make you uncomfortable and keep you up. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} If you plan to go to bed by 10 p. m. , it's best to stop drinking them after 2 p. m. 

Relax for 30 minutes before bed.{#blank#}3{#/blank#} Both reading quietly and listening to music are great ways to relax. 

{#blank#}4{#/blank#} Noises and bright (明亮的) lights make it difficult to get a good sleep. You should keep your bedroom dark, quiet and your bed comfortable. 

Go to bed at the same time every night.It's hard for your body to get into a healthy sleep habit if you go to bed at different times. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} Then follow the same routine (日程) each day, even on weekends.
