Dear Xiaohua:
I’m very glad to receive your letter. From your letter, I know you have shown 1. great interest in inventing new things. That’s great. As for how to be an inventor, there is no quick answer to 2. .
Coming from different cultures and having different backgrounds, inventors do not seem to have much 3. common. But creative thinking, 4. is greatly valued, is perhaps the basic skill an inventor should have. In order to explore new possibilities, you will have to learn to break 5. from old thought patterns. When you get stuck, try to look at the problem in 6. many ways as possible. Each new 7. may improve your understanding.
More importantly, always keep it in your mind 8. success is no accident. It is the result of a long process of trial and error. Above all, the main task for you is to study hard and try to learn more knowledge. This, of course, will lay a solid foundation.
Hope your future invention will make a difference.
Good luck.
Yours,
Wang Li
As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to 36 down. But moderate relaxation is necessary for a healthy mind and body.
Stress is a 37 part of everyday life and there is no way to 38 it. In fact, it is not the bad thing that it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is important to provide motivation and give 39 to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.
The amount of stress a person can bear 40 very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such 41 are obviously chief material for managerial responsibilities. Others lose heart at first 42 of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make a choice between 43 and fight. And in more ancient days the choices made the 44 between life and death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it requires the same response. It is when such a reaction 45 long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes _ 46 . Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart diseases have 47 links with stress. Since we cannot remove stress from our lives we need to find ways to deal with it. It would be unwise to do so even if we could.
So what do you think of stress? What is your way to deal with it?
