Answer the questions (根据以下内容回答问题)
A professor began his speech by holding up a glass with some water in it. Then he held it up for all to see, and asked the students, “ How much do you think this glass weighs?”
“50g!””100g!””125g!” the students answered .
“ I really can’t unless I weigh it,” the professor said, “but my next question is: “ what would happen if I held it up like this for a few minutes?”
“Nothing,”the students said .
“Okay. What would happen if I held it up like this for an hour?” the professor asked.
“ Your arm could go numb. You might have serious muscles stress, or paralysis.You would have to go the hospital for sure” another student said. All students laughed.
“ Very good. But during all this, did the weight of the glass change?” the professor asked.
“No,” the student said.
“Then why do we have different results?
The students were puzzled.
“ It does not matter on the weight itself. It depends on how long you hold it.” the professor said: “ it is exactly the same weigh, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes, what you have to do is to put the glass down, rest for a while before holding it up again.”
The problems in life are like this. If you just think about them for a few minutes, they might not seem so bad. Think about them for a longer time, and they begin to ache. Hold them even longer and they begin to paralyze you. You will not be able to do anything. It’s important to think about challenges in your life, but it’s even more important to“put them down” at the end of the day before you go to sleep.That way, maybe be you will ________________________ the next day.

How do you feel when your teacher asks you to work on a group project with other students? Do you like to work together with others or work a1.?
The Programme for International Student Assessment, or PISA, carried out survey of students’ ability to work together in groups. They found that students who do well on tests by themselves are also likely to be better at working with other people.
Students in Japan, South Korea, Finland and Canada, where test scores are h2., also did well in working together to solve problems. This finding was true for many countries.
But this was not true for every country. Chinese students, who also did well on tests, s3. just average collaborative(合作的) skills.
“One r4. might be that Chinese parents and teaches focus too much on grades,"said Zhao Zhongxin, former vice president of the Chinese Family Education Association. " Students have a lot of exam pressure and they view school as a place for competition.”
“However, collaborative skills are very important for p5. students for today’s society,”he added."Luckily, more Chinese educators are realizing the importance of this and are thinking of ways to help students improve this skill.
Another interesting finding from the PISA survey was that girls tend(趋向于)to be better than boys at working together. They said girls show more active attitudes(态度) towards relationships, which means they are much e6.to communicate with.
PISA also found that the classroom environment tends to e7. students to collaborate. In classes where there are a lot of activities that require communication, such as class debates, students tend to have better attitudes toward collaborating.
