"I really don't know unless I weigh it，" said the teacher， "but my（3） is what would happen if I held it up like this for a few minutes？"
"Nothing，" the students said．
"OK． What would happen if I held it up like this for an hour？" the teacher asked．
"Your arm would begin to（4） "said one of the students．
"You are right． Now， what would happen if I held it up for a（5） ？"
"You might have muscles （肌肉） stress． You could（6） move the arm，" said another one．
"You might have no （7） in the arm， or paralysis （瘫痪），"said a naughty student，"You （8） go to the hospital for sure!"
"Very good． But during this period， did the weight of the glass（9） ？" asked the teacher．
"No，" the students said．
"Then what（10） the arm ache and the muscles stress？"
The students were（11） ．
"No one knows？" the teacher asked， "Well， can you tell me how to（12） it？'
"Put the glass down!" said one of the students．
"Exactly!" said the teacher．"The problems of life are something like this． Think of them for a few minutes in your（13） and you seem OK． Think of them for a long time and you begin to hurt． Think of them even longer and you will not be able to do anything． It's important to think of the challenges in your life， （14） it's even more important to ‘put them down' at the end of every day before you go to sleep． That way， you are（15） ﹣you wake up every day fresh and strong and can solve any problem that comes your way!"

My Dear Azhaan，
I want you to know that you remind me of myself in so many ways． You are like a better and Improved version（版本） of me． I look at you and I see myself（1） your eyes． I wish I had that confidence（信心） and even some of your bossiness（霸气） at that age． Yet， I'm also troubled on seeing this confidence（2） disappearing， because you are（3） many different things． I want you to know that your confidence is one of the （4） things about you． All of us admire your confidence． However， you are（5） confident enough these days， because you are beginning to dislike your own body．
You are not fat． I agree that you could be a little healthier． You could eat a little less junk food． However， I don't know when you'll begin to enjoy fruits， but I believe that you will．
I think one of the moments of（6） for me was when you were born， and the doctor said， "Congratulations， you have another baby boy，" not because you were a boy but because you were healthy．
You're too young to understand this（7） no one realizes the importance of a normal life
（8） it is away from them． What I（9） for you is happiness： the understanding that you are not perfect and that it is okay because none of us is!
Stay confident and keep your head（10） ， my little boy﹣who is growing up too soon!
Love，Ammi

Companies built power plants（工厂） to make（5） to run the machines， factories and cities．
People did not realize these activities were（6） the Earth． They didn't realize bow（7） oil，gas，coal and minerals were being used up．
（8） cities grew bigger and spread across the land，plants and animals began to disappear． Their nature homes were destroyed（破坏） as people moved into new places．
As time passed， people began to（9） the need to protect the Earth and its natural resources（资源）． They saw that plants and animals needed protection， so they wouldn't disappear forever． People joined together to tell（10） around the world to conserve（节约） our natural resources and care for the Earth． And so． Earth Day was born． Each year， more and more people take part in Earth Day． What can you do to help？
