　　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, or afraid．

　　However, there are different kinds of stress．Some kinds of stress are good and others are bad．Good stress might happen when you are called to answer questions in class or when you have to give a speech．This kind of stress can help you get things better done．For example, you may do a better job on your test if the stress pushes you to study harder before the test．On the other hand, bad stress lasts too long．You may not feel happy if your parents are fighting, if a family member is sick, if you are 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 make you sick．

　　The best way to fight the stress is to have a balanced life．Sleep, exercise, leisure, and food．If you get enough sleep and eat well, and if you exercise and leave time for fun, you will probably feel less stress．

　　An old carpenter(木匠)was ready to stop working．He told his boss about his plan to leave to enjoy his rest years with his family．He would miss the money each week, but he wanted to retire．He had enough money to live on．

　　The boss was sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house．The carpenter said “yes”, but his heart was not in his work．

　　When the carpenter finished his work, his boss came to look at the house．Then he handed the key to the carpenter and said, “ This is your house－my gift to you．”

　　The carpenter was shocked(震惊)!

　　What a shame! If he had known he was building his own house, he would have done it well．

　　In our life, sometimes this kind of things happens．Somebody lets us do something and we think it isn't our own thing, so we don't try our best to do it．At last, we find the thing is related(涉及)to us closely．But it is too late for us when we know that．

　　If you go to a fast food restaurant, you will probably see a lot of teenagers．Today, many teenagers are overweight, and this is because of their bad eating habits．Most teenagers are keen about food with a lot of fat, oil, salt and sugar．People call this kind of food "junk food"．

　　But bad eating habits go beyond fast food．We find many teenagers eat unhealthily．Some don't have breakfast before they go to school．During the day, some don't have a proper meal for lunch．In a recent survey at one school, scientists found that over two thirds of the students didn't follow a healthy diet．They didn't like vegetables, and many of them didn't like to eat fruits．They preferred to eat food with a lot of salt, sugar, or fat．

　　Parents today also worry about their children's diet．Some doctors give the following advice：

　　Teenagers shouldn't eat too much junk food．

　　Teenagers shouldn't eat food with too much salt．Salt can cause high blood pressure in the future．

　　Teenagers should eat food without much fat, oil and sugar．

　　Teenagers need to eat some fruits and vegetables every day．Fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins(维生素)and have little fat．

　　Teenagers need to drink more milk．Milk will help their bones grow。

　　Teenagers need　to eat breakfast every day．It is good for their body and mind．

　　Napping(小睡)after learning something new could help improve your memory--- as long as you dream, scientists say．

　　They found people who dream about a new task do it better on waking than those who do not sleep or do not dream．

　　Volunteers were asked to learn the layout(布局，设计)of a 3D computer maze(迷宫)so they could find their way several hours later．Those allowed to take a pap and who also remembered dreaming of the task, found their way to a landmark quicker．

　　The researchers think the dreams are a sign that unconscious(无意识的)parts of the brain are working hard to process information about the task．．

　　Dr．Robert Stickgold of Harvard Medical School, said dreams may be a marker that the brain is working on the same problem at many levels．

　　Study tips

　　Co-author Dr．Erin Wamsley said the study suggests our non-conscious brain works on the things that it deem(认为)are the most important．

　　“Every day we are gathering lots of information and new experiences,” she said．“It would seem that our dreams are asking the question, “How do I use this information to inform(影响)my life?”

　　The scientists say there may be ways to use this phenomenon(现象)for improving learning and memory．For example, students might be better studying hard before bedtime, or taking a nap after a period of afternoon study．

　　I've loved my mother's desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as mother sat doing letters．Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world．

　　Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother．“But the desk,” she'd said again, “it's for Elizabeth．”

　　I never saw her angry, never saw her cry．I knew she loved me; she showed it in action．But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter

　　They never happened．And a gulf opened between us．I was “too emotional(易动感情的)”．But she lived “on the surface”．

　　As years passed I had my own family．I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family．I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive me．

　　I posted the letter and waited for her answer．None came．

　　My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest and, finally, peace－it seemed that nothing happened．I couldn't be sure that the letter had even got to mother．I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not．

　　Now the present of her desk told, as she'd never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work．I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside－a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded(折叠)and refolded many times．

　　Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose．Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words．
