Name the feeling.
What feeling are you experiencing? For example, are you sad, stressed,angry, joyful or excited?
Accept what you’re feeling.
Many people worry that their feelings will increase. So they are not willing to accept them, hoping that they’ll just go away. However, that’s impossible. Remind yourself that it’s OK to feel your feelings.
Become familiar with your feelings.
To better understand your feelings, you should pay attention to your feelings all over the day. You may record how you’re feeling in the morning, afternoon and at night on a piece of paper. Next to your feeling, also write down where you notice it in your body.
Express your feelings.
Expressing a feeling is a good way to reduce it. For example, you can express your feelings by crying, exercising, writing about them or talking to someone you trust. Just be sure that whatever activity you choose, it doesn’t hurt you or anyone else.

Height is just one of the features your genes (基因) decide. In fact, because
you have two parents, your genes provide you a height that usually lands somewhere
between the height of each parent. If both your parents are tall, then most probably
you will be tall, too. But if you have questions about how tall you’re going to be,
ask your doctor if he or she can help you find them out.
But genes don’t decide everything. For example, eating an unhealthy diet can keep you from growing to your full potential (潜力). Getting plenty of sleep and enough exercise will help you grow to the expected height.
It’s natural that you’re wondering how fast you should grow. There’s no perfect or right answer. Generally speaking, kids grow about 6 cm a year between age 3 and the time when they start puberty.
Your doctor will know how your growth has been going over the years. 2 cm here and 3 cm there make a little difference to the height you’re at now. How have you been growing up to this height? What other changes may your body be going through?
Don’t be amazed if you seem to have grown a lot in a very short time. Everyone has a growth spurt (高峰) during puberty. The age for starting puberty is about 10 for girls and about 11 for boys. But it can be earlier or later — between 7 and 13 for girls and 9 and 15 for boys.
You’ll usually begin to notice that you’re growing faster about a year after your body starts to show the first changes of puberty.

A．you should have enough exercise

In their last moment before the flight took off, I heard a father saying to his daughter, “I love you, I wish you enough.” The daughter said, “Daddy, our life together has been more than enough. Your love is all I ever needed. I wish you enough to.” They kissed goodbye and the daughter left. I could see the father was very sad.
Suddenly the father walked towards me and asked me, “Did you ever say goodbye to someone knowing it would be the last time?”
His words made me think of my father. Realizing that my father’s days were limited (有限的), I took the time to tell him face to face how much he meant to me. So I understood what this father was experiencing.
“Yes, I did.” I answered, “But why is this a last goodbye?”
“I am old and my daughter lives much too far away. Maybe her next trip back will be for my funeral (葬礼),” he said.
“When you were saying goodbye, I heard you say ‘I wish you enough’. What does that mean?”
He began to smile. “My parents used to say it to me. When we say ‘I wish you enough’, we want the other person to have a life filled with enough good things.” He stopped for a moment and continued, “I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright. I wish you enough rain to appreciate (欣赏、感激) the sun more. I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive. I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life seem much bigger… I wish you enough ‘Hellos’ to get you through the final ‘Goodbye’”.

“Everything happens for the best，”my mother said whenever I faced disappointment (失望)．“If you carry on，one day something good will happen．”
Mother was right，as I discovered after graduating (毕业) from college in 1932，I had decided to try for a job in radio，then work my way up to a sports announcer．I hitchhiked (搭便车) to Chicago and knocked on the door of every station and got turneddown every time．In one studio，a kind lady told me that big stations couldn’t risk hiring an inexperienced person．“Go out in the sticks and find a small station that’ll give you a chance，”she said．I thumbed home to Dixon，Illinois．
While there were no radio-announcing jobs in Dixon，my father said Montgomery Ward had opened a store and wanted a local sportsman to manage its sports department (部门)．Since Dixon was where I had played high school football，I applied．The job sounded just right for me．But I wasn’t hired．My mother noticed my disappointment．“Everything happens for the best．”Mom reminded me．Dad offered me the car to hunt a job．I tried WOC Radio in Davenport，Iowa．The program director, a wonderful Scotsman named Peter Mac Arthur told me they had already hired an announcer．
As I left his office，I asked aloud，“How can a guy get to be a sports announcer if he can’t get a job in a radio station?”I was waiting for the lift when I heard Mac Arthur calling，“What did you mean about sports?

On my way home，I thought of my mother’s words：“If you carry on，one day something good will happen．”
