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.”

(C)

Jack London was a famous writer. He was born on January 12, 1876, in San Francisco, California. His family was so poor that Jack had to leave school to make money at an early age. As a result, he had little education as a child. He worked hard in many different jobs--- working as a paper boy, a sailor, and a miller. Though he had to work long hours at these jobs, London spent all his free time on books, especially those travel and adventure books borrowed from the library. He travelled to Japan and Korea in 1893. These trips made London decide to educate himself and change his life. He returned to school, quickly completed high school and entered the University of California. After only one term, however, London gave up his studies and travelled to Alaska in 1897 in search of gold, but he failed as a gold miner.
