Different people feel stressed in different ways. Some ways of dealing with stress don't solve much.{#blank#}1{#/blank#}other ways can lead you to {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (solve) your problem or at least feeling better.

    Try taking these four steps the next time you are stressed: Get support. When you need help, reach out to the people {#blank#}3{#/blank#} care about you. Talk to your parents or other {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (relative). And don't forget about your friends. They might have had similar problems. Don't take it out on yourself. Sometimes when kids are stressed and upset they take it out on {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (they). Oh, dear, that's not a good idea. Remember that there are always people to help you. Ask for a helping hand to get you through the tough situation. Try to solve the problem. After you're calm and you have support from adults and friends, it's time {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(get) down to business. You need to figure {#blank#}7{#/blank#} what the problem is. Even if you can't solve it all, you can solve a piece of it. Be positive. Remember stress{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (do) go away,{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (especial) when you start working on solving it. These steps aren't magic, but they do work. And if you can stay positive as you make your way through a tough time, you'll help yourself feel{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (good) even faster.

    People can often see a talking parrot on a TV show, in a movie, or even in someone's home. The parrot has learned {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (copy) sounds that people make. Dolphins, bats, and some other animals also copy sounds. Now we can add elephants {#blank#}2{#/blank#}this list of copycats (盲目模仿者).

    Dr. Joyce Poole is an expert,{#blank#}3{#/blank#}studies the sounds of elephants. While she was in Kenya, she would hear strange noises {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (make) by Mlaika after sunset. Mlaika was{#blank#}5{#/blank#} 8-year-old African elephant and it lived near a highway.

    Dr. Poole says that she couldn't tell the {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (different) between Mlaika's call and the {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (distance) truck noise. Why did it copy the sounds of the trucks driving by? Animals that are able to copy sounds may enjoy {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(practice) new sounds. When they {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (keep) outside of their natural environment, they may copy unusual sounds. 

    So far Dr. Poole {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(spend) 18 years with two female Asian elephants. Asian elephants make sounds like birds to talk with one another.

    Parrots, dolphins, humans, and elephants show that being a copycat is one way that animals and people make new friends and keep old ones.

    A father was worried about his son, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} was sixteen years old but had no courage at all. So his father determined {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (call) on a Buddhist monk to train his boy. The Buddhist monk said {#blank#}3{#/blank#}the boy's father, "You should leave your son alone here.

    I'll make him into a real man within three months. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}, you can't come to see him during this period." Three months later, the boy's father returned. The Buddhist monk arranged a boxing match between the boy and an{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (experience) boxer. Each time the fighter {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (attack) the boy, he fell down, but at once the boy stood up; and each time the boy was knocked down, the boy stood up again. Several times later, the

    Buddhist monk asked, "{#blank#}7{#/blank#}do you think of your child?" "What a shame!" the boy's father said, "I never thought he would be so {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(easy) knocked down. I needn't have him left here {#blank#}9{#/blank#} longer."

    "I am sorry that is all you see. Don't you see that each time he falls down, he stands up again instead of {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (cry)? That's the kind of courage you wanted him to have."
