"How heavy is this glass of water?" The answers called out ranged from 20g to 500g, to which the lecturer
replied, "The absolute (绝对的) weight 1 matter. It all 2 how long you try to hold it."
"If I hold it for a minute, that"s not a problem. If I hold it for 3 , I"ll have an ache in my right arm. If I
hold it for a day, you"ll have to 4 an ambulance for me. In each case, it"s the 5 weight, but the longer I
hold it, the 6 it becomes."
He continued, "And that"s the way it is with stress management. If we carry our burdens (负担) 7 ,
sooner or later, as the burdens become increasingly heavy, we won"t be able to carry on. As with the glass
of water, you have to put it down for a while and rest before holding it again. When we"re refreshed (精神
振作), we can carry on with the burden."
"So, before you return home tonight, put the burden of work down. Don"t carry it home. You can pick it
up tomorrow. 8 burdens you"re carrying now, lay them 9 for a moment if you can. Relax… then pick
them up later after you"ve 10 . Life is short. Enjoy it!"

| At three a.m., Jack Mills was sitting at the controls of the mail train. The train was made up of 13 cars. At the end of the train, 71 mailmen sat sorting the mail. Inside the second car, there were only five mailmen and 128 bags full of five-pound notes. This train had run more than 100 years without being robbed. At three minutes past three, Mills and his helper, David Whit by, saw a yellow warning light. They slowed the train, and then stopped. Whit by went to the telephone beside the track.

| My father had returned from his business visit to London when I came in, rather late, to supper. I could tell at once that he and my mother had been discussing something. In that half-playful, half-serious way I knew so well, he said, "How would you like to go to Eton?" "You bet," I cried quickly catching the joke. Everyone knew it was the most expensive, the most famous of schools. You had to be entered at birth, if not before. Besides, even at 12 or 13, I understood my father. He disliked any form of showing off. He always knew his proper station in life, which was in the middle of the middle class; our house was medium-sized; he had avoided joining Royal Liverpool Golf Club and went to a smaller one instead; though once he had got a second-hand Rolls-Royce at a remarkably low price, he felt embarrassed (尴尬的) driving it, and quickly changed it for an Austin 1100. This could only be his delightful way of telling me that the whole boarding (寄宿制的) school idea was to be dropped. Alas! I should also have remembered that he had a liking for being different from everyone else, if it did not conflict (冲突) with his fear of drawing attention to himself. He seemed to have talked to Graham Brown of the London office, a very nice fellow, and Graham had a friend who had just entered his boy at the school, and while he was in that part of the world he thought he might just as well phone them. I remembered my eyes stinging (刺痛) and my hands shaking with the puzzlement of my feelings. There was excitement, at the heart of great sadness. "Oh, he doesn"t want to go away," said my mother, "You shouldn"t go on like this." "It"s up to him," said my father."He can make up his own mind." | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| A. it made him feel uneasy B. it was too old to work well C. it was too expensive to possess D. it was too cheap | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 3. The writer"s father enjoyed being different as long as ________. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| A. it drew attention to him B. it didn"t bring him in arguments C. it was understood as a joke D. there was no danger of his showing off | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
