The students’ a  1   ranged from（从……延伸到）50g to 100g. 

“It does not matter on the weight i  2   . It depends on how l  3   you hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it is OK. If I hold it for an hour, I will have an ache on the r  4   arm. If I hold it for a day, you will have to call an ambulance（救护车）. It is exactly the same weight, b  5   the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes.”

“If we carry our burdens（负担）all the time, s  6   or later, we will not be able to carry on, the burden becoming increasingly heavier. What you have to do is to put the glass down, rest for a w  7   before holding it up again.” 

We have to put down the burden s  8   , so that we can be refreshed and are able to carry on. So before you return home f  9   work tonight, put the burden of work down. Don’t carry it back home. You can put it up tomorrow.

Whatever burdens you are h  10   now on your shoulders, let it down for a moment if you can.
