Sometimes, we see some people reading books while biting（咬） their nails（指甲）. We may think they are focused（专心的）. But in fact, it is more than that.

Nail biting can begin at an early age. 1 According to the report from the BBC（英国广播公司）, up to 45 percent of teenagers bite their nails.

There is not an exact answer to explain why people bite their nails. But most normally, nail biting is said to be a nervous habit. It is done because of stress, boredom（无聊） or excitement.

What’s more, scientists found clever people often start biting their nails at an early age. They believe that compared with the common person, the clever people may feel the stress more easily.

This habit is bad for the teenagers. It can give them red or sore fingertips（指尖）. 2 And biting nails for a long time can influence how our nails grow.

But don’t worry! There are many ways to stop biting your nails. First, keep your nails clean. The more you pay attention to taking care of your nails, the less probably you’ll start biting them again. Besides（另外）, when you feel stressed, try to relax. Doing exercise or taking a warm shower both help.

The game of Go was one of the four greatest artistic types in Chinese culture. It is not only a competitive event of the mind, but also a board game amusing ourselves.

Created in China more than four thousand years ago. Go was introduced to Korea and Japan over 1,000 years ago, and has become a favorite activity of many people there. Today, Go still serves as a way of cultural exchange among the people in many Eastern and Western countries, as players in these countries take part in many international games every year.

A game of Go has many implications (含义) for real life. It represents a square world of round pieces in black and white. There are 181 black pieces and 180 white ones in total. While the board is fixed, the pieces can be placed in millions upon millions of different ways, just as life in the real world may take many turns. The proper placement of each tiny Go piece is similar to how one might solve a difficult problem in life.

Go pays much attention to peaceful competition and coexistence (共存). In a game of Go, the players do not wipe out (消灭) each other’s pieces. Instead, they simply try to win a larger share of space while allowing the other side some space. However, in chess and Chinese chess, the players try to wipe out as many of the other side’s pieces as possible. The one who forces the other side’s commander (主帅) into a dead corner then wins the game. Besides, Go carries deeper cultural and philosophical connotations (哲学内涵).

Wu Qingyuan (1914-2014), a modern Go talent, believed that instead of fighting as enemies, the two players work together to play an excellent game and try to achieve peace finally.
