A kindergarten teacher decided to have her class play a game. The teacher told each student to bring a plastic bag with a few potatoes in it to school. Each student would "name" their potatoes after people they did not like.1 the number of potatoes would be2depending on how many people each student hated.
The next day, with their potatoes, all the students went to school 3 the game. Some kids had just one or two potatoes, while others had as many as five or six. The teacher then told the children that they would have to carry their potatoes with 4wherever they went for one week.
Several days 5. Some of the students started to complain(抱怨), as their potatoes began to rot(腐烂)and6bad. The students who carried 7potatoes began to get unsatisfied with the heavy bags.
One week later, the game 8. The teacher asked, "How did you9carrying around your potatoes for a week?"
The students complained once again. The teacher simply smiled and said, "This is what it's like to carry hatred(仇恨 )in your heart. You have to carry it with you wherever you go. If you can′t tolerate (容忍) carrying rotten potatoes for one week, how can you imagine having 10in your heart for a whole lifetime? Forgive others and move on with your life."

The Taliban(塔利班组织) controlled an area in Pakistan. They neither allowed people to listen to music nor watch television, and they also stopped girls from to school. Eleven﹣year﹣old Malala made the brave choice to blog(发微博)about life under the Taliban. She kept an opinion that girls had the right to an education. Malala′s blog made the Taliban very angry. While riding a bus in 2012, Malala in the head by a Taliban gunman. , she didn't die from that attack. The following year, she gave a historic speech to the United Nations. Speaking about the importance of education, Malala said, "I'm here to speak up for the right of education for."In 2014, she became the person to receive the Nobel Peace Prize.
"I'm going to bed earlier tomorrow!" But no matter how we decide, there are still many chances that we break our promises.
This behavior is called "bedtime procrastination"(睡眠拖延症), and results from being short of self﹣control and our body clock.
Bedtime procrastination is a common problem. According to a study, Among 2, 400 people, 53 percent of them couldn't follow their sleeping time they had planned, delaying(推迟)it at least twice a week. They delayed bedtime not because they liked to stay up late, but they couldn't stop doing some other things.
Accordingly, People who usually have trouble resisting temptations(抵制诱惑) and adhering to their intentions(坚持己见) are more likely to delay going to bed.
However, scientists think being short of self﹣control is not the only problem. Our body clock also lays an important role when it comes to bedtime.
In order to check the influence of the body clock on sleep, scientists studied the sleep patterns (t模式)of 108 people. It was found that those who got up late are more likely to delay their bedtime than those who woke up early every morning.
And more surprisingly, night owls(夜猫子)would go to bed late at the very beginning of the weekday, even though they had to get up early for work and school. It's their special body clock that plays a part in delaying their bedtime.
People always think that bedtime procrastination isn't a big problem, but the choices we make that affect (影响)our sleep could finally be pretty important for our health.
The world got a glimpse(一瞥) of one of the greatest mysteries of our universe(宇宙) on April 10.
That′s when the first image of a black hole was shown to the public. The picture was created by a network of eight radio telescopes(射电望远镜).
"We have seen what we thought was unseeable, "says Shep Doeleman. He led the effort to create the image.
The black hole is at the center of galaxy (星系)named Messier 87, some 55 million light﹣years from the earth, and is 6.5 billion times the mass of the sun.
The image shows the gas, dust, and stars that move around the black hole before disappearing into it. It does not truly show the black hole, because not even light can escape its gravity. Black holes, like vacuums, suck(吸)in everything that gets too close.
China and Westen countries may have different ideas about certain animals, but when it comes to pigs, we have somehow reached an agreement﹣that pigs are ugly, lazy, stupid and shameless.
But the truth is that pigs do have some finer qualities(品质). Science long ago proved that pigs aren′t stupid at all. A research shows pigs are" mentally and socially similar to dogs". They like to play. They have good long﹣term memories. And they know the difference between those who treat them well and those who don't.
There are lovable pig characters in cartoons too. Peppa Pig(小猪佩奇), for example, a UK television series (连续剧)that began in 2004, has now become one of the most popular cartoons in 180 countries and regions. The four members in the cartoons pig family teach children from all around the world about love, friendship, and the value of family, And in China, McDull, a young pig who works hard toward his dreams even though he keeps failing, have been a popular cartoon character since 2001.
Perhaps these are the qualities of pigs to keep in mind﹣intelligence, cuteness and patience.
