Hi, everybody. How’s it going? I’ve been your new classmates since this September. I’m very happy, but I’m worried that I may meet with some difficulties in the new school. Perhaps I can’t keep up with（趕上）my classmates, especially in English. And I’m not sure if I can make friends with others because I’m not good at communicating. On the other hand, I don’t know how to take good care of myself. I’m afraid the food in the new school won’t agree with me. What can I do with these problems? Could you give me some advice? I really need your help.

Yours,

Han Mei

Do you have sleeping problems? Is it hard for you to remember or pay attention in class? Do you easily get angry? If your answer is yes, you may be under pressure.

Stress is a normal physical response to things that make people feel worried. In China, about 70 percent of the 2000 students to take the college or high school entrance examination are under high stress, according to a recent survey by Wuhan University of Hubei province.

Sometimes stress is good for people. It pushes people to do their best, like while getting ready before a big competition or exam. However, too much or long-term stress makes people feel much too stressed out, and influences people’s health.

When you feel stressed, there are some ways you can deal with it. Learning to solve small problems in everyday life is helpful. It can help build confidence to move on to life’s bigger ones. Try saying positive things to yourself, like “I will do the best I can,” or “I can do this if I take one step at a time.” That encourages you to work toward your goal. It is also important to relax sometimes, for example by getting a good night’s sleep, doing exercises or taking a bath. But if you are under high stress and can’t handle it by yourself, it is also good to ask parents or friends for help. Everyone has stress. Don’t be too shy to tell them that you are having a hard time. They may comfort you or give you some useful advice. You may feel better just from sharing your problems with them.

The expression was first used in1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself. He began earning $125 a week at the age of 23, and that was a lot of money in those days. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighborhood outside New York City. When he saw rich people riding horses, Momand went horse-riding every day. When he saw that the rich had servants, Momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbors.

It was like a race, but one could never finish this race because another one was always trying to keep up. The race ended when Momand and his wife finally found that they could no longer pay for their new way of life and had to move back to an old apartment in New York City.

Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do such things just to keep up with rich lifestyle of their neighbors. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series（系列）of short novels, and he called it “Keeping up with the Joneses” because “Jones” is a very common name in the United States. “Keeping up with the Joneses” came to mean keeping up with rich lifestyle of the people around you. Since then, Momand’s series came out in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.

People never seem, to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses. And there are “Joneses” in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses because no matter what he does, a Mr. Jones always seems to be ahead.

Mahalya is a student in Grade 8 at Lamberton Middle School in Pennsylvania, the United States. Every afternoon at two o’clock, she runs to a store at her school. She is not running there to buy any snacks. 【1】, she works as the storekeeper and helps count change for customers.

“I didn’t know that it took so much work. I didn’t do anything 【2】 this,” Mahalya told the Sentinel, a local newspaper.

In fact, she and 【3】 11 students work as the storekeepers at Bison Bargains, the school’s first student-run store. It started on February 22, and it opens each school day during break time from 2:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. It mainly 【4】 stationery（文具）and snacks.

Through this, students see what doing 【5】 is like.

To help them learn about business they took a class. The class taught students how to use money and some simple business rules.

The school did a survey on what products students would buy from a school store. In the future, they plan to sell things made by the students 【8】. For example, students can sell their homemade pencil boxes and phone cases.
