| A．History helps me become more mature(成熟的). I used to believe that life is simple to understand. Now I know that we shouldn't make simple judgements. People aren't " good" or "bad" ; things aren't " true" or " false". |
| B．Francis Bacon wrote, " Histories make men wise. " I agree with that. If you know history you will respect the past and be confident about the future. History tells you where you come from, where you are and where you are going. That is the power of history. Don't you think so？ |
| C．What are teenagers nowadays crazy about? Popular songs? Harry Potter books? Sports or online games? For me, the answer is history. |
| D．History has also made me mentally(精神上) stronger. I'm more responsible now. I have learned useful things about myself from studying the rise and fall of the kings and queens. When I studied Chinese history between 1840 and 1949, I knew I must be a strong person and do my best for China. |
E. History occupies much of my free time. Since I was 10, I've been reading history books, collecting old maps and visiting museums. I always get excited when people around me talk about history. I have learned a lot from history. It has helped me deal with the problems of growing up.

When you work long hours and Sundays are no longer a day to rest, feeling overworked(工作过度) can become the new normal. Take sportsmen as examples and do the same yourself, so you’ll know if you’re overworking.
Check your resting heart rate (率). Every day, before you get out of bed, take your pulse (脉搏). Usually your heart rate will stay within a few beats every minute. But when you’re overworked, the rate increases. If your heart rate is up in the morning, get a little more rest or sleep that night.
Check your emotions. Getting angry easily? If you can’t put your finger on a clear reason, there may be something wrong with your emotions. Hoping to change the condition won’t help. The only way out is a break.
Check your weight. If you lose or increase more than 1% of body weight from one day to the next, something is wrong. Maybe yesterday you were too busy and failed to notice you didn’t eat and drink enough. Or maybe you failed to notice that you were eating too much.How many ways are mentioned to check if we’re overworking?

Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, “Happiness depends on be happier.
The first secret（秘密）of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future — for example, getting into college or getting a good job — that we fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy life’s simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives.
Another secret to live a happy life is to be active, and have hobbies where you forget your problems and time. Many people experience dancing, or playing a sport, such as swimming. You can forget about your problems, and only think about the activity.
Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes.
Now maybe you know how to find happiness!The second paragraph tells us that ________.
