A teacher was giving a speech to his students on stress management. He held a glass of water and asked, "How 1 do you think this glass of water is?"

    The students' answers were from 20g to 500g.

    "It 2 how long you hold it. If you hold it for a minute, it is OK. If you hold it for an hour, you will 3 an ache in your arm. If you hold it for a day, your arm will become paralyzed (麻痹的). It is the same 4, but the longer you hold it, the heavier it will become," the teacher said. "What you should do is to put the glass down to 5 for a while before picking it up again."

    The students became silent, lost in thought.

    After a moment, the teacher 6, "The stresses and worries in life are like this glass of water. Think about them for a while and nothing happens. Think about them a bit 7 and they begin to hurt. And if you think about them all day long, you will feel "paralyzed" and you 8 do anything."

    It's important to let go of your 9. You should put them down before going to sleep and wake up every day with a(n) 10 start.

    My neighbor is a doctor. He and his wife are some of the 1 people I have ever met. A few years ago, we started this kind of "favor war "where one of us would do something kind for the other, such as 2 the driveway or building a shed, and next time the other would 3 to top it with another favor.

    Yesterday morning there was about 2 or 3 feet of snow on the ground and I 4 he shoveled (铲) my driveway for me when I was out on a business trip last 5. So I took out my shovel and took care of both our sidewalks and driveways because it was my turn to do a favor 6. It took a while but I finished it and got into my car for work.

    That night I got a 7 on my door, it was my neighbor. He immediately shook my hand and thanked me for shoveling 8 driveway and sidewalk, so that he was able to get to work earlier and 9 a boy.

    "As soon as I started the car early this morning, a(n) 10 came through that a young boy in our neighborhood was seriously ill. 11, my partner and I were only about 2 minutes away, but the closest ambulance (救护车) 10 minutes," added he. "A young boy got to live his life 12 you did me the favor earlier this morning."

    It wasn't too much 13 to shovel a driveway, but what I did got a young boy to see his family again, go back to school again and live his life again.

    14 favor is too small. Even the smallest favor can make the biggest 15. One favor will always be followed by another.

    Robert De Vincenzo, the great golfer, once won a competition. After receiving the check(支票), he went to the club and prepared to leave. He walked alone to his car and met a young woman.

    The young woman stopped him and said congratulations on his1, then she told him that her child was badly ill and she was dying. But her family was poor. She did not know how she could pay the hospital bill.

    De Vincenzo was2by her story, and gave his winning check to the woman. "Make some good days for the baby." He said as he put the check into her hand.

    The next week, he was3in the country club when a policeman came to his able. "Last week, some of the boys told me that you met a young woman after you won that competition."

    De Vincenzo said, "Yes."

    "Well," said the policeman, "I have news for you. She does not have a sick baby. She's not even married. She cheated you, my friend. "

    "You4there is no baby who is dying?" said De Vincenzo.

    "Yes, that's right," said the policeman.

    "That's the best news I've heard all the week." De Vincenzo said happily, "Life is more important."

    Good news or bad news? It depends on how you5it. You can be sad after being cheated.6you can choose to go on with your life bravely.

There is a telephone on my desk. It's my good friend. It helps me a lot. My telephone number is 8445816. Sometimes when I have something to talk about with my classmates. I don't need to go out. I call them. I write down many telephone numbers of my friends. My best friend John's number is 8459471. When I can't remember my homework, I ask him by telephone. There are some "Telephone Messages" beside my telephone. When I am out, my mother writes down the massages for me.

I am John. In June 2018, my family took a plane to Manchester. We were going to visit my older sister because she was studying at a university there. 

On the first day, we woke up and took a bus to the airport. It was so early in the morning, so l slept on the bus. When I opened my eyes, we reached the airport. We had breakfast at a cafe there and then got on the plane. 

We reached Manchester in the evening and of course, everyone was very tired. No one felt like talking. 

Although l was tired and hungry, I felt thrilled. My sister and her friend warmly welcomed us and we had some tea at Starbucks. "Wow, I am in Manchester, " I said. You should imagine how great the feelings were. 

After that, we took a train to our apartment (公寓). I am not sure where it was but it was near the train station. I pushed the apartment door, and my mouth turned to an "O" shape. My sister is really good at choosing the best place for us to stay. I ran to a window and I could see Manchester, the park, some buildings, and there you go！ Instead of(代替) watching them on TV, I saw them right in front of my eyes!
