①My daughter's pet fish is dying. Recently I find myself spending minutes and even hours staring at the clear round bowl, hoping for another performance of its wonderful dance. To be honest, I am not a fish person. Compared with cats and dogs, fish can neither play nor walk with me. To me, they are just so boring.

②But every morning now, I tap on the bowl, shake out some fish food and carefully throw it into the bowl, hoping the fish can eat it with the least effort. I try to make the fish more comfortable. Yet there's so little that I can do. The fish just remains still (一动不动的) at the bottom of the bowl.

③"Come on! Eat something!" I say. And suddenly I realize that somebody said the exact same sentences to me before. Many times.

④I think of the banana pancakes that my mother would serve me every time I became sick and stayed in bed. They were my favorite treat and always made me feel much better. "Come on! Eat something! Your body needs to be strong!" My mom would always say. What made me even warmer was the idea that she would always, always be there when I needed her.

⑤Many years later, I tried to do the same when my mother became sick. She was only 61 but seemed to get weaker every day. "Would you like some green tea?" Again and again, I would ask, "What about some cake? Hot chocolate? Strawberries?" I gently encouraged her to eat because I didn't know what else to do. "Please, Mom! Eat something! Your body needs to be strong!" But she would not. There she was, lying still on the bed, with her eyes closed. That was the last time I saw her.

⑥The fish is still lying at the bottom of the bowl. I stare at it and suddenly a familiar (熟悉的) face comes into my mind. Then I say in a low voice, "Mom, ▲ ."

Different Kinds of Rest

We go to bed when we're tired. But in fact, rest is much more than sleeping at night. Many of us are missing out on the other kinds of rest that we really need.

The first type of rest we need is physical rest. It can be passive (被动的) or active. Passive physical rest refers to sleeping, while active physical rest includes activities like yoga (瑜伽). These activities help your body to relax.

Have you ever heard your parents or anyone else say that they have a hard time focusing on (专注于) their work? Have they ever said that when they lie down at night to sleep, they have trouble "turning off" their brains as conversations from the day fill their thoughts? These people need mental rest. You can advise them to take a short break every two hours throughout their workday. These breaks remind them to slow down a bit.

The third type of rest is sensory rest. Bright lights, computer screens and background noise can make us feel tired. But this problem is easy to solve. You can close your eyes for a minute in the middle of the day or put away your electronic products for a while.

Then comes creative rest. Allowing yourself to take in the beauty of nature—even if it's just at a local park—provides you with this type of rest. You can also place your favorite artwork around your desk. Enjoying art is another great way to get creative rest.

The last two types of rest we need are social and emotional (情感的) rest. Spend some time with positive people. Try to open up to them and share the hard things that trouble you lately.

Now you know we need much more than a good night's sleep to feel well rested. It's time for us to focus on getting the right type of rest we need.

Polly's Braille (盲文) Help

Many blind children learn braille at school. Their teachers can let them know how they're doing. Now Polly can help them at home. It gives replies through sound to braille learners. Kids can write by using Polly's electronic braille board or keyboard. It can correct mistakes,too.

About 10% of paint bought in America each year is wasted. Up Paint is trying to recycle it. It's working with a group called Paint Care. They collect the left paint. Then they resell it. "We're making a good everyday paint," Dustin Martin says. He's the founder of Up Paint. So far,it has offered 18 colors. 

Bear Hugs

Hugimals provide comfort anytime you need a hug. Marina Khidekel founded the company and made them. These animals give kids the feeling of being hugged in real life. "Teachers feel that Hugimals animals help kids with their bad emotions," Khidekel says. 

Eye﹣catching Sound

Creating a kind of technology that's also a work of art isn't easy. But Teno makes it. It's a light that is easy to carry. It's also a speaker. It looks like a broken stone bowl. Pull it apart and light and sound pour out. You can touch it to change brightness or sound.

Zhuhai No. 4 Middle School is in Guangdong, China. It now has 258 students from Tibet(西藏). The students leave their parents in Tibet and come to study in Zhuhai. The school is about 3, 000 km away from their home. It's really hard for them to live a different school life. 

Luckily, Chen Geng makes the school another home for these students. Mr Chen is a teacher of Xizang classes at the middle school. He cares a lot about his students. Because of the long journey(旅程), the students only go back to Xizang during the summer holidays. At other times, they just stay at school when other students can go home. To make his students feel better, Chen often spends time with the children, even at Spring Festival. 

Chen usually gets to school at 6:30 in the morning. He does morning exercises with the students first. Breakfast begins at 7, and the reading lesson starts at 7:15. He also goes to the students' dormitories(宿舍) after school to see how everything is going. Every month, Chen takes the students to visit museums or other places in Zhuhai in their free time. 

DrolmaYangzom is one of Chen's students. She says, "Mr Chen is a very nice teacher. He knows well about our habits and hobbies. We all like him. "
