　　When she looked ahead, Florence Chadwick saw nothing but a solid wall of fog．Her body was numb(麻木的)．She had been swimming for nearly sixteen hours．

　　Already she was the first woman to swim the English Channel in both directions．Now, at age 34, her goal(目标)was to become the first woman to swim from Catalina Island to the California coast．

　　On that Fourth of July morning in 1952, the sea was like an ice bath and the fog was so dense she could hardly see her support(援助)boats．

　　Alongside Florence in one of the boats, her mother and her trainer offered encouragement．They told her it wasn’t much farther．But all she could see was fog．They encouraged her not to stop swimming．She never had…until then．With only a half mile to go, she asked to be pulled out．

　　Still warming her chilled body several hours later, she told a reporter,“Look, I am not excusing myself, but if I could have seen land I might have made it．”It was not tiredness or even the cold water that beat her．It was the fog．She was unable to see her goal．

　　Two months later, she tried again．This time, despite(尽管)the same dense fog, she swam with her confidence and her goal clearly pictured in her mind．She knew that somewhere behind that fog was land and this time she made it!Florence Chadwick became the first woman to swim the Catalina Channel, eclipsing(使黯然失色)the men’s record by two hours!

A teacher began his class by holding up a glass with some water in it. He held it up for all to see, and asked the students, " How much do you think this glass weighs?"

"50 g!" "100 g!" "125 g!" the students answered.

"I really don't know unless I weigh it," said the teacher, "but my question is what would happen if I held it up like this for a few minutes?"

" Nothing! " the students said.

"OK. What would happen if I held it up like this for an hour?" the teacher asked.

"Your arm would begin to ache," said one of the students.

"You're right. Now, what would happen if I held it for a day?"

"Your arm could go numb. Have to go to hospital for sure!" said another student. All the students laughed.

"Very good. But during all this, did the weight of the glass change?" asked the teacher.

"No." the students said.

"Then what caused the arm ache and the muscle (肌肉) stress?"

The students fell silent for a moment.

"Put the glass down!" said one of the students.

"Exactly!" said the teacher. "The problems of life are something like this. Hold them for a few minutes in your head, and it seems OK. Think of them for a long time and they begin to make you ache. Hold them even longer and you will not be able to do anything. It's important to think of the challenges(挑战) in your life, but it' s even more important to put them down at the end of every day before you go to sleep. That way, you are not stressed. You wake up fresh and strong and can deal with any challenge that comes your way!"

Remember to put the glass down today.
