Stress is a feeling you can have in your mind and in your body. It can make you want to eat less, not talk to your friends and family.
A little stress in life is normal. But controlling stress is important because if you feel stressed for too long, it can seriously affect your body. Older people who have stress for a long time can develop heart disease, high blood pressure and other serious health problems.
The good news is that it can be very easy to control stress. Here are three tips.
Tip 1: Try to eat right. Some people who feel stressed feel much better by eating chocolates, ice cream and other sweets. A little sugar isn’t bad for you but don’t stop eating fruit and vegetables.
Tip 2: Exercise regularly. People who are very busy with jobs or family life can feel tired a lot. Getting regular exercise can give you more energy and help you think about the things in your life that give you stress.
Tip 3:Most importantly, watch out for each other. Stress can make you feel alone. It’s important to pay attention to the stress in people that are close to you: friends look out for friends, and teachers look out for students.

A mind map is basically a tool that connects information around a central subject. It can help you make a bank of knowledge to solve problems. A student recently said, “I thought mind mapping would take a lot of time to do but in fact it saves me time. I don’t have to read my notes over and over again.”
How to make a mind map? Now follow these steps for making wonderful mind maps.
Start in the center of a page. Why? Because starting the center lets your brain spread out in all directions and express itself more freely and naturally.
Use a picture for your central idea. Why? Because a picture is worth a thousand words and helps you use your imagination. A central picture is more interesting. It helps get your attention and makes you work more excitedly!
Connect your main branches (分支)to the central picture and connect your second-and third-level branches to the first and second levels, etc. Why? Because your brain works by connection. It likes to connect two, or three, or four things together. If you connect the branches, you will understand and remember a lot more easily.
Use one key word every line. Why? Because every single key word can make you learn more clearly and easily.
Use pictures as many as possible. Why? Because each picture, just like the central picture, is also worth a thousand words. So, if you have 10 pictures in your mind map, they are already worth 10, 000 words of notes.
Try to use more colors. Why? Because colors are as exciting to your brain as pictures. Color adds great energy to your creative thinking, and is fun!

It’s said that in some parts of the world, people are facing the problem of hunger. So what can we do to help them? Here are some suggestions:
Cook from the fridge
Start with the fresh foods. If you have some in the fridge, use them first. Make a meal with what you have got instead of running out to the supermarket for something else.
Learn to read the labels
“Best-before” and “use-by” dates are more important. Learn to know the different periods of foods and know how to cook them in the right way. For example, black bananas are proper for baking, fresh vegetables are good in soups, and bread that is not fresh can be turned into small pieces.
Use the freezer(冷冻室)
The freezer can keep foods fresh until you are ready to cook them, and store the cooked foods until you’re ready to eat them. It’s also the best place for the remaining food. Mark the date of the food nearby, so it’s easy to find the foods you need to eat first and you will never leave them there for too long.
Shop with a list
Plan meals ahead of time so that you know exactly what to buy. Doing this helps reduce food waste because it’s possible to buy too much of a certain food and then forget to eat or cook it later.

Have you ever heard of Death Valley? It’s a national park lying in the east of California, the USA. The park isn’t scary as its name sounds. You can enjoy the desert sunshine there. At the same time, you can find there’s nothing out there but some special rocks called “sailing stones” . Some of the rocks in Death Valley weigh hundreds of pounds. And on the ground behind each rock is a mysterious trail(痕迹). It seems that the rock has been pushed along in the sand.
It was nearly 100 years ago that the “sailing stones” were reported for the first time. People have been trying to find out the stones’ secret ever since. Until the 1990s, one widely accepted opinion was that the rocks were stuck in sheets(片) of ice that were being blown across the desert. However, research later showed that to move such large ice sheets, the wind would have to blow at hundreds of miles per hour. There are strong winds in Death Valley, but not that strong.
Then in 2006, a scientist named Ralph Lorenz expressed his opinion. He suggested that in winter, thick ice forms(形成) around the rocks. When the ground begins to thaw(解冻), the rocks, wearing ice, sail along and leave trails behind them. Lorenz even did a test in his own kitchen for the purpose of showing his opinion was correct.
Has Lorenz succeeded in solving the mystery of the sailing stones? Perhaps. On the other hand, neither Lorenz nor anybody else has ever actually seen the stones move. Maybe it was aliens who moved the stones.
