       A teacher was giving a talk to his students on stress (壓力) management. He raised a glass of water and asked them ,“ How 1        do you think this glass of water is?”

       The students began to think and 2       . Their answers were different,from 20g to 500g.

       “It does not matter on the real 3      .lt depends on how long you hold it.If I hold it for a 4       ,it is OK.If I hold it for an hour,I will have an ache in my right arm.If I hold it for a day,you will have to call a 5       . It is the exact same weight,but the longer I hold it , the heavier it becomes.What we have to do is to put the glass down,6       for a while before holding it up again."

       “ If we carry our burdens (負(fù)擔(dān)) 7       ,sooner or later,we will not be able to carry on.The burden will become increasingly heavier. We have to 8        the burden every now and then,so that we can be refreshed and are able to carry on.” 

       So 9        you return home from work tonight,put the burden of work down.DonH carry it back home.You can pick it up tomorrow.

       Whatever burdens you have,let them down for a moment if you can.And leam to 10        yourselves.

       Life is short but amazing.Enjoy it!
