One day, a teacher was giving a speech to his students .He held up(举起)a glass of water and asked the class. "How heavy do you think this glass of water is ?"
The students' answers ranged(范围) from 20g to 500g .
"It does not matter on the weight itself .It depends on how long 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 in my right arm .If I hold it for a day ,you will have to call an ambulance(救护车).It is exactly the same weight ,but the longer I hold it ,the heavier it becomes."
"If we carry our burdens (负担)all the time, sooner 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 while before holding it up again ."
We have to put down the burden sometimes ,so that we can be refreshed and are able to carry on .
So before you return home from work tonight ,put the burden of work down .Don't carry it back home. You can pick it up tomorrow .
Whatever burdens you are having now on your shoulders, let it down for a moment if you can .

Is the art of conversation dying? The other day, my wife   16  two teenage children did something we haven’t    17  for ages. It didn’t require the Internet, a TV screen, batteries… or anything else for that matter. But we all   18  it so much we’re thinking of doing it again sometime.

We had a conversation. The kind of real, live conversation that was   19  when I was growing up, but which seems all too rare these days. Today we have chat rooms, text messages, e-mails but we seem to be losing the   20  of communicating face-to-face. We all know   21  young people are out on a date(约会)these days, they spend most of that time   22  their mobile phones. And teenagers nowadays seem to   23  communicating with their friends by sending text messages rather than actually   24  to them.

If we carry on like this,in the future, we’ll lose the use of our   25 . What do you think? E-mail me, and who knows? Maybe we could even have a real conversation about it!
