Switzerland is famous for its watches. However, this country didn’t invent the watch. It was the British who did. Here is a story of how the watch was brought to Switzerland.
Many years ago, an Englishman traveled to Italy. This Englishman traveled in a carriage. On his way, he stopped in s small town called Geneva in Switzerland.
There was a carriage watch in it. This was the earliest kind of watch. A blacksmith’s assistant happened to see the watch. He wanted to know what it was and asked the Englishman about it. “It is a carriage watch,” said the man. “This machine can tell the time but it isn’t working now.”
The blacksmith’s assistant wanted to try to repair so the traveler handed him the watch. The assistant was a very clever man, so it was easy for him to repair it. He even remembered how it was made. As soon as the traveler had gone on his way, he made a watch of exactly the same type.
So the watch-making was started in Switzerland. Today, Swiss watches are sold in countries all over the world.

Have you had a headache during a test? Have you ever been so worried about something that you have a headache or even can’t sleep at night? If so, then you know what stress is. Stress is what you feel when you are worried about something. This worry in your mind can make your body feel bad. You may feel angry, sad, scared(恐惧的), or afraid—all of which can give you a stomach ache or a headache.
However, there are different kinds of stress. Some kinds of stress are good and others are bad. Good stress might happen when you’re called to answer questions in class or when you have to give a speech. This kind of stress can help you to get things better done. For example, you may do a better job in your test if the stress pushes you to prepare better before the test.
On the other hand, bad stress can happen if the stress lasts too long. You may not feel well if your parents are fighting, if a family member is sick, if you’re having problems at school, or if anything else makes you unhappy every day. That kind of stress isn’t going to help you. And it can actually make you sick.
The best way to face the stress is to have a balanced life. Make sure you keep yourself in mind: Sleep, exercise, leisure(休闲), and food. If you get enough sleep and eat healthily, and if you exercise and leave time for fun, you’ll probably(可能) feel less stressed.
