Patience is of great importance in our daily life. Once I waited a bus to come at a stop. 30 minutes past, but no bus came. Both upset and annoyed, I decided to walk on feet. But no sooner had I left when the bus arrived. I thought if I had waited for one more minute, I would have caught it. If I chose to take a next bus, I would have to wait for other 30 minutes. Only then do I realize my problem. Being impatient will possible waste all the effort that we have put it in. Now whenever I am close to lose my patience, I’ll think of this experience.

Ways to Worry Less
Do you want to worry less? Of course you do, fight? That's like me asking if I could send you free bacon. Worry is like black mold—it appears in damp conditions and spreads uncontrollably. And often times we don't realize it's there until it's killing us. We must get rid of worry before it destroys us. But how?1.
Do what you need to do.
2.You ought not to avoid tough projects or hard conversions until the last moment. If you don't do what you should be doing, you will end up spending the rest of the time worried about the must-to-do things. Believe it or not, the anxiety that comes from worrying is much worse than the task we're worried about.
3.
I think many of us act like we're puppets（木偶）in a play and we're waiting for something or someone to put us in the right place. You just react to whatever is going on.4.We need to live on purpose. Nothing can cause worry like purposelessness.
Make plans.
You can't have intentionality without making plans. Making plan will enable you to achieve your aims more smoothly. Yet, don't place your plans in stone. You can adjust your plans flexibly. Accept changes.5.
There are other ways to lessen worry. As long as you are determined to take action, you will live a worry-free life.
A. Worry ruins creativity.
B. Get more intentional.
C. Do what you should be doing.
D. We need to stop letting life just happen.
E. Make new plans and then move forward.
F. You do the same as people around you do.
G. Here are some effective ways to deal with it.
Running is often tiring and a lot of hard work, but nothing beats the feeling you get after finishing a long workout around the track.
But while it’s long been believed that endorphins (脑内啡）一chemicals in the body that cause happiness 一 are behind the so-called “runner’s high”，a study suggested that there may be more to this phenomenon than we previously knew.
According to a recent study published by a group of scientists from several German universities, a group of chemicals called endocannabinoids (内源性大麻素）may actually be responsible for this familiar great feeling.
To test this theory, the scientists turned to mice.
Both mice and humans release high levels of endorphins and endocannabinoids after exercise, along with many other chemicals. After exercising on running wheels, the mice seemed happy and relaxed and displayed no signs of anxiety.
But after being given a drug to block their endorphins the change. However, when their endocannabinoids were block with a different drug, their runner’s high symptoms seemed to fade.
“The long-held notion of endorphins being responsible for the runner's high is false. Endorphins are effective pain relievers, but only when it comes to the pain in your body and muscles you feel after working out,” Patrick Lucas Austin wrote on science blog Lifchacker.
Similar studies are yet to be carried out on humans, but it’s already well known that exercise is a highly effective way to get rid of stress or anxiety.
The UK's National Health Service even prescribes (开药方)exercise to patients who are suffering from depression.
“Being depressed can leave you feeling low in energy, which might put you off being more active. Regular exercise can boost your mood if you have depression, and it's especially useful for people with mild to moderate (中等的）depression,” it wrote on its website.
It seems like nothing can beat that feeling we get after a good workout, even if we don t fully understand where it comes from. At least if we’re feeling down, we know that all we have to do is put on our running shoes.

The scar ran down her leg from the knee to the ankle. She brushed her fingertips over its surface, remembering.
Jerry was only seven when he started surfing; by the age of eleven, he was positively incredible, moving over the face of big waves like there wasn’t even a slightest bit of efforts involved in.
On that day in Bah, though, the ocean had seemed strange. The waves broke like water in a washing machine, and the breaks had been heavy too, making it tough to tell whether it was better to try to catch one or to get out of its way. That was how he’d misjudged.
Ella had seen her brother lose control, his board was thrown out of the water riderless high into the air, but she hadn’t seen him surface. She’d waited for the space of a breath. Nothing. Something, clearly, was wrong.
She dashed into the water, swimming faster even than the competitions at school. Lung burning. Heart Piping-Focused.
She’d found him floating just beyond the reef (暗礁), face up but knocked out cold. Just as she was paddling the water hard, her leg was hurt by the reef, a short, sharp instant of pain.
No matter. She had kept Jerry’s head above water, swimming all the way back to shore. That day had been the worst, scariest moment in Jerry’s surfing career, which has seen him rise from a no-name kid who loved the ocean to a young star, winning competitions around the world.
For Ella, her life had changed as well. She had learned something about who she was, about what she could achieve. She ran her fingers again over the scar, the physical map of the person she had become.

A. She didn’t see Jerry come out of water.
B. She had not seen Jerry lose control before.
C. She saw Jerry’s board high into the air.
D. She noticed Jerry held his breath longer.
2.What does the underlined part “positively incredible” probably mean?
A. Terribly excited. B. Extremely good.
C. Relatively young. D. Hardly talented.
3.For Ella, the scar represents .
A. her skill at saving lives B. her discovery of self-value
C. her envy of her brother D. her love for swimming career
4.What can be inferred from the text?
A. Ella was as outstanding an athlete as Jerry.
B. Jerry learned how to surf all by himself.
C. Ella was grateful for this terrible experience.
D. Jerry had his leg injured in the surfing accident.
