I’m a middle school student in Wuhan.

One morning, thousands of Etruscan horsemen and footmen were seen marching straight toward the wooden bridge over the Tiber River. Rome was in immediate danger!

Among the guards at the bridge was a brave man named Horatius. He ordered the soldiers to cut down the bridge. At the same time, he took two soldiers with him to the far side of it. There, the three brave men kept the enemy from taking the bridge.

The soldiers tried to destroy the bridge as quickly as they could, and soon it was ready to fall. Some of them ran across to call the three men back.

Horatius yelled at the two others to cross first. At that moment the bridge fell with a great crash. Horatius fought the Etruscans by himself, and a dart(標(biāo)槍) entered his left eye. In great pain, he turned and jumped into the river.

Horatius sank into the deep water but soon came out of the water, halfway across the river. He was greeted with shouts of joy, for he had saved the town. He gained a new name, Horatius Cocles, meaning the "one-eyed Horatius" and is remembered as one of Rome’s greatest heroes.

The Waste of Worry

Do you remember being afraid of monsters at night as a child? But as you grow up, you know that there are no monsters, right? We always have f【1】 and worries about things that are not real. The crazy thing is that worry and fear make you r【2】 from something that isn’t even chasing you.

England’s former Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, said that whenever he started to worry, he’d remember a man who said on his death bed “I’ve had a lot of t【3】 in my life—and most of it never h【4】!” You see, it’s not work that kills people, but worry.

When you fear the future, you’re w【5】 the presents. Worry seems like a rocking chair: it k【6】 you going, but you don’t get anywhere! And if you can’t help worrying, remember that worrying can’t help you e【7】.

If you’re fearful, you’ll find something to be fearful about. That’s w【8】 the former American President, Franklin Roosevelt, said: “The o【9】 thing we have to fear is fear itself.”

Many of us are afraid of what others think; but if we knew how s【10】 they think about us, we’d know we needn’t worry.

So whatever you’re afraid of or worrying about, ask yourself, “Is it real? And if it is real, how will worrying about it help me? Is it something I can change? If not, how can I best deal with it?”
