This is a simple fact is that 50 people tend to forget. The 51 is equally simple: refuse to accept so many tasks. “I can handle stress” is regarded as a positive statement. People who can handle stress are given moreuntil one day they 52 . Pay careful attention to the signs(征兆) that tell you that you are under more stress than you can 53 .

As we were leaving, we found that onlyminutes earlier an elderly woman had fallen over at the entrance and had hit her head on the concrete. Her husband was with her, but there wasbloodeverywhere and the woman was embarrassed and clearly in shock. Walking towards the scene, Tenyson became very upset about what had happened to the couple.

Tenyson suggested that we should buy the lady a flower.“It will make her feel better,”he said. I was amazed that hed come up with such a sweet idea. So we went over to the flower seller and asked her if we couldbuya flower for the lady to cheer her up. “Just take it,” she replied. “I cant take your money for such a wonderful gesture.”By now paramedics（救援人员）had arrived, and were attending the injured woman. As we walked up to her, my son becameintimidatedby all thebloodand medical equipment. He said he was just too scared to go up to her. Instead I gave the flower to thewomans husband and told him, “ My son wasvery upset for your wife and wanted to give her thisflower to make her feel better.”At that, the old man started crying and said, “Thank you so much, you have a wonderful son.

Our joints get nutrition from joint fluid（液体）as we move. When you walk, your joints get this “life-giving fluid. “which means they stay stronger. On the other hand, walking sharpens your mind.Researchers studied 6,000 women aged 65 and older. They found that age-related memory loss was lower for those who walked more and even walking. Indoors or outdoors, improved the ability to think creatively and solve problems.Best of all, you can easily change where, when and how you walk.

DA university in southwest Chinas Chongqing City set up a reading room as part of a campaign that stops students from taking their mobile phones with them in case the device distracts（使分心）them from concentrating on their studies.Reportedly a student named Hu Xiaopeng participating in the campaign studied 530 minutes without using his mobile phone. Unlike Hu, another one picked up his mobile phone in less than 20 minutes.“Having seen many students use their mobile phones in the library, a habit that shortens their study time and negatively impacts their learning, we decided to open this reading room,” said Zhang Shuran, the person responsible for the project at the university.Zhang added that students can keep their phones in appointed bags with numbers on them. The hags are placed on a desk near the door of the reading room.Staff members at the reading room will check the phones when theres a call, said Zhang, adding that they will inform students when their parents or teachers call them, but will not tell students if an unknown person is calling or when there is a text message.
