Here is a story: A man sees a butterfly (蝴蝶) . The butterfly tries to get out of its chrysalis (蛹) . F{#blank#}1{#/blank#}sorry for it, the man decides to help. He cuts the chrysalis and the butterfly comes out e{#blank#}2{#/blank#}. Surprisingly enough, the butterfly is unable to fly. If the butterfly doesn't struggle (挣扎；奋斗) to leave the chrysalis, it can't fly！The struggle develops the e{#blank#}3{#/blank#} in the butterfly which makes it fly. Similarly, the challenges of life bring out the best in young people and make the fly.

When people are young, meeting and overcoming challenges will make them s{#blank#}4{#/blank#} and ready to face life.

When we look at successful people, we see that the most successful of them are people who have had to struggle.

One famous businessman, who now o{#blank#}5{#/blank#}many big supermarkets, used to carry clothes on his back and sell them from door to door when he was young. Another successful man is Dennis. His father died when he was only twenty. He had to b{#blank#}6{#/blank#}up a big family. He took up the challenges and overcame them. Today his brothers and sisters are leading s{#blank#}7{#/blank#} lives.

Sometimes challenges do not appear to us because we keep away from them. So, some parents and teachers actively encourage young people to face challenges. They might organize some a{#blank#}8{#/blank#}for young people which provide them with challenges, like rock—climbing, camping, volunteer work and so on. However, just passing exams will not prepare a person for life. We must meet and overcome challenges. The young people of today will become the leaders of t{#blank#}9{#/blank#}. For countries to continue to become successful, it is i{#blank#}10{#/blank#}that the young people learn to meet challenges and overcome them.

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.

Everyone has different ways of getting their kids to do housework. Here are some ideas which I think would work.

Start young. Of course, when your kids are babies, you can just talk to them, but at the same time, letting them see you at work might help especially if your kids are toddlers (学步的儿童).

You can give them some easy housework to do like washing vegetables, handing you things, and taking out the rubbish. And when they do a good job, you can reward them with some candies or ice-cream.

You can get them to clean or tidy their things. For example, you can let them clean their own room and put away their own toys.

Do the housework together. Let them help you while you are folding clothes. They can pass you the clothes. When you get back home from shopping, they can help you to put away your items (物品). They can pass the items to you while you put them in order.

Remember: When you get your children to help you, you should make them feel as if they're doing a great thing by praising them .You can say something like "What a strong boy you are!" or "You're so helpful." It will make them feel happy and be ready to help you next time.

How to prepare for school tests?

Holly King- Mand is an expert on reading and writing and she loves creative writing, and cool vocabulary. Here she shares the best ways to prepare for tests.

{#blank#}1{#/blank#}

When you spend too long thinking about something, you can focus too much on the wrong thing. For example: What will happen if I fail? What will happen if I miss the bus that day? Remember that tests reflect where you are in your learning journey so that your teachers can work out what to help you with next.

{#blank#}2{#/blank#}

Teachers will want you to do your best in tests and will be ready to answer any questions you might have. Ask them why you are taking the test. You might find out that it's nothing to worry about. Just have a try.

{#blank#}3{#/blank#}

Some people like to prepare for tests. However, not everyone chooses to do so. It's better to fully prepared for it and find a quiet space and take regular breaks.

{#blank#}4{#/blank#}

On the day of the test, make sure you eat a healthy breakfast and allow plenty of time to reach school. Pack your bag the night before so you feel organized, and remember to take a water bottle.

{#blank#}5{#/blank#}

Tests reflect what you can do and what you have learnt so far. Use the feedback from your test to understand your strengths and focus on your improvement. Be proud of the hard work you've done and the effort you've put in.

Music helps us exercise--but why does it have this effect? Experts say there are two main reasons. 

The first is simple: music takes our attention away. When we listen to a song we like, our 66focus on the music. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} , after we exercise for 20 minutes, our body might be tired. But we may not feel this immediately because we are listening to music. So we can exercise a little longer{#blank#}2{#/blank#}. 

Music also makes us want to move. When we {#blank#}3{#/blank#} in bed and hear dance music, we naturally start to move to the beat. A positive song also puts us in a good mood, so we feel much more {#blank#}4{#/blank#} . This gives us energy and helps us exercise longer. Music with a quick and continuing beat is good for exercising. 

 "But the music shouldn't be too fast, "says Dt. Costas, a famous sports expert. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} , songs in the range of 120-140 beats per minute (BPM) are the best. 

 An international team of scientists says it has discovered two new"super-Earth" type planets about 100 light-years away, one of which may be suitable for life. 

 Unlike any of the planets in our solar system, the nearly 1, 600 known super-Earths are larger than Earth, but lighter than icy planets like Uranus and Neptune. 

 Researchers at Belgium's University of Liège said that they found another one while using Earth-based telescopes to check the existence(存在) of a different planet first discovered by a NASA satellite in the same solar system. 

NASA's satellite found planet LP 890-9b, which is about 30% larger than Earth and orbits its sun in just 2. 7 days. ULi ège researchers used their telescopes in Spain to take a closer look at the planet. That's when the stargazers(天文学家) discovered another planet, LP890-9c, which is 40% larger than Earth and takes 8. 5 days to orbit its sun. 

 Francisco Pozuelos, a researcher, said that the planet could be suitable to life though being a 3. 7 million miles from its sun. Earth, by comparison, is located over 93 million miles away from our sun. "Although this planet orbits very close to its star, at a distance about 10 times shorter than that of Mercury around our Sun, the amount of stellar irradiation(照射) it receives is still low, and could allow the presence of liquid water on the planet's surface, if it has enough air, " Pozuelos said. "This is because the star LP 890-9 is about 6. 5 times smaller than the Sun and has a surface temperature half that of our star. "
