Kids' health: four steps for fighting stress
Everybody gets stressed from time to time. some ways of dealing with stress— like screaming or hitting someone— don't solve much. But other ways, like talking to someone you trust, can lead you to solving your problem or at least feeling better.
Try taking these four steps the next time you are stressed:
(1.)Get support. When you need help, reach out to the people who care about you. Talk to a trusted adult, such as a parent or other relatives. they might have had similar problems, such as dealing with a test, or the death of a beloved pet.
(2.)Don't take it out on yourself. Sometimes when kids are stressed and upset they take it out on themselves. Oh , dear, that's not a good idea. Remember that there are always people to help you. Don't take it out on yourself.
(3.)Try to solve the problem. After you are calm and you have support from adults and friends, it's time to get down to business. even if you can't solve it all, you can solve a piece of it.
(4.)Be positive. Most stress is temporary(暂时的). Remember stress does go away, especially when you figure out the problem and start working on solving it.
These steps aren't magic, but they do work.. and if you can stay positive as you make your way through a tough time, you'll help yourself feel better even faster.
A. Ask for a helping hand to get you through the tough situation.
B. Notice your friends' feelings and find a way to help them.
C. Different people feel stress in different ways.
D. Ah, it feels so good when the stress is gone.
E. You need to figure out what the problem is.
F. And don't forget about your friends.
G. Then, find a way to calm down.

It was Thanksgiving morning. In the crowded kitchen of my small house I was busy preparing the traditional Thanksgiving turkey 1the doorbell rang. I opened the front door and saw two small children in 2clothes and thin little sandals(凉鞋), staying together at the door on the top step.
“Any old 3 , lady?” asked one of them. I was4 . I wanted to say “no” until my eye 5their sandals, which were wet with heavy snow.
“ 6and I'll make you a cup of hot cocoa.”They walked 7and sat down at the table. Their wet sandals left marks on the8 . I served them cocoa and bread with jam to fight9the freezing cold outside. 10 I went back to the kitchen and started again on my household budget for Thanksgiving Day.
The silence in the front room struck me. I looked in. The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it. The boy asked in a 11 voice,“Lady, are you 12?” “Am I rich? Pity. No!”
I looked at my old sofa covers. The girl put her cup back in its saucer(托盘)13and said, “Your cups match your saucers.” Her voice was flat with a need that no amount of food could supply. They left after that, 14their papers against the wind. They hadn't said “Thank you.” They didn't need to. They had 15me that I had so much to be grateful for. Plain blue China cups and saucers were 16worth five pence. But they matched.
I tasted the potatoes and the meat soup. Potatoes and brown meat soup, a roof over our heads, my man with a good and steady job—these 17 , too.
I moved the chairs back from the fire and 18 the living room. The muddy(沾上泥的) 19 of small sandals were still wet on my floor. Let them remain for a while, I thought, just in case I should begin to 20how rich I am.
有一位表演大师上场前,他的弟子告诉他鞋带松了。大师点头致谢,蹲下来仔细系。 等到弟子转身后,又蹲下来将鞋带解松。有个旁观者看到了这一切,不解地问:“大师,您为什么又要将鞋带解松呢?”大师回答道:“因为我饰演的是一位劳累的旅者,长途跋涉让他的鞋带松开,可以通过这个细节表现他的劳累憔悴。”“那你为什么不直接告诉你的弟子呢?”“他能细心地发现我的鞋带松了,并且热心地告诉我,我一定要保护他这种热情的积极性,及时地给他鼓励,至于为什么要将鞋带解开,将来会有更多的机会教他表演,可以下一次再说啊。”
