What do you think of stress? Is it a good thing or a bad thing?
Most of the students think stress can do harm (傷害)   46  them in some ways. There’s a story about a teenager in a middle school. He even   47  his study because of the stress from school and family. We also usually   48  that someone turns to psychological doctors because of heavy working stress. There is no doubt (疑問) that some people think stress is a dangerous wolf.
On the other hand, other people argue that stress is not a bad thing. They   49  stress can produce momentum (動力）in the end. For them, right attitude and action can reduce (減少) stress and make it   50 . When I was a child, my mom always pushed me to study hard. She wished I could go to an ideal   51  for further education. I experienced stress for the first time. To a poor family, I deeply knew   52   was not easy for us, and everything my mom did to me was just to hope I could live a better life in the future.   53  the saying goes, “No pains, no gains.” So I did what my mom expected because I didn’t want to let her down. At last, I did measure up (達到標準）to my mom’s expectation and go to college   54 . Thanks to my mom’s push! Thanks to the stress! In this way, I don’t think stress is a bad thing.
Overall, stress is not a bad thing in   55 . The key is how we deal with it.

It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time
I really only meant it as a joke.  I wasn't trying to steal anything honestly.
My friend Matthew started bringing his new cell phone to class last week. He was walking around bragging (吹噓) about it to everyone. He was saying, "My cell phone can download (下載) the newest 41 off the internet."Then he 42everyone by downloading a game and starting to play it. The pictures and sound were really 43 .
44 class, he would use his cell phone to watch TV. The rest of us didn't have a phone like 45 , so we had to crowd around him. I was just trying to see the screen, 46 there were so many other kids that I could not see it clearly. I was getting really jealous (嫉妒).
But then yesterday, he forgot his cell phone at the end of class. He left it right on his desk. 47 noticed it was there except me. I decided to teach him a lesson. I took his phone quietly off the desk, and put it in my own bag. My 48 was to give it back to him the next day. I 49 wanted to see his reaction (反應(yīng)). Maybe he would stop being such a show-off.
But this morning he rushed into class, screaming and yelling (吼叫). He was very 50 and almost mad. He started accusing (指責(zé)) different people of 51 his phone, but I had it in my 52 the whole time. He even started fighting with another classmate 53 Matthew was sure that person had taken it. The teacher sent them to the headmaster's office. They 54 got in a lot of trouble. Now I don't know what to 55 ! If I tell him that I took the cell phone, he'll think I stole it. If I don't tell him, then I really did steal it. How did I get into such a trouble?
