题目内容

A teacher walked around a room while teaching stress management (压力管理). She held a glass of water and asked, “How heavy is this glass of water?” Answers shouted from 8 oz (盎司) to 20 oz.

She replied, “The weight (重量) doesn’t matter. It depends on how long I hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it’s not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, my arm will feel uncomfortable. If I hold it for a day, my arm will hurt. In each case, the weight of the glass doesn’t change, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it will become.”

She continued, “The stresses and worries in life are the same. Think about them for a while and nothing happens. Think about them a bit longer and they begin to hurt. And if you think about them all day long, you will be unable to do anything.”

It's important to remember to let go of your stresses. Put all your worries down as early in the evening as you can. Don’t carry them through the evening and into the night.

Many kids do housework such as doing the dishes，making the bed，and folding the clothes.In exchange，they get some money or other computer time.

Paying kids for housework is one of the most popular topics，especially at a time when everyone is more careful about money.Some parents think since adults are paid to do their jobs，we should pay kids for everyday housework.

But some people don't think kids should get rewards (报酬) for doing housework.Susie Walton，an expert，believe that by rewarding kids，parents are sending a message that work isn't worth doing unless you get something in_return．“Running any kind of housework is a team effort，” Walton said.“A home is a living space for everyone in the family.It's important for kids to see that we all have responsibilities in the house，and families decide how they want their home to look，and how they are going to keep it looking like what they want.”

Other people believe that getting a reward encourages kids to do housework，and it also teaches them real world lessons about how we need to work to get money.There are also apps (程序) that give kids points and digital gifts that can be redeemed (兑现) either online or in the real world.“Our goal is to give kids lawful power so they can get rewards，” says Chris Bergman.“And kids need rewards to help encourage them.”

Is it possible for a shy person to change? The answer yes, but it takes time. Take Susan for example. She used to be very shy in the primary school. When she talked to teachers and strangers, she would feel afraid. In fact, she was so afraid that she would not look people in the eye. And once she even cried when she was asked a question in class.

Things began to change when Susan decided to solve this problem. She knew she had to do several things. First, she needed to tell herself that she was a wonderful girl. Second, she had to smile more often. When she was invited to a party, for example, she would simply smile if she didn’t know how to talk to other people. She tried really hard for a long time. In the end, her smiling made her very popular, and she felt much better about herself.

So it is possible for shy people to become not so shy if they really try very hard.
