What do you think of stress? Is it a good thing or a bad thing?

Most of the students think stress can do harm       them in some ways. There’s a story about a teenager in a middle school. He even       his study because of the stress from school and family. We also usually        that someone turns to psychological (心理的)doctors because of heavy working stress. There is no doubt that some people think stress is a dangerous wolf.

On the other hand, other people argue that stress is not a bad thing. They       stress can produce momentum(動力）in the end. For them, right attitude and action can reduce stress and make it        . When I was a child, my mom always pushed me to study hard. She wished I could go to an ideal        for further education. I experienced stress for the first time. Born to a poor family, I deeply knew        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.        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(dá)到標(biāo)準(zhǔn)） to my mom’s expectation and go to college       . Thanks to my mom’s push! Thanks to the stress! In this way, I don’t think stress is a bad thing.

“Dad…”I started. And   3 .

“Yes?” he said.

“The kids say there is no Father Christmas. They say I’m   4  to believe in Father Christmas anymore…it’s only for little kids. But I believe what you told me. Father Christmas is __5 . He is, isn’t he, Dad?”

“The real life and spirit of this magical elf (精靈) lives forever in your heart, my heart, Mom’s heart and in the hearts and minds of   6  people who believe in the joy that giving to others brings. The real   7  of Father Christmas becomes what you can give rather what you get. Once you understand this and it becomes   8  of you, Father Christmas becomes even more exciting and more magical because you come to   9  the magic comes from you when Father Christmas lives in your heart. Do you understand what I am   10  to tell you?”

When it comes time in my life to   13  the reality of Father Christmas to my children, I hope that I will be as eloquent (有口才) and   14  as my dad was the day I learned that the spirit of Father Christmas doesn’t wear a red   15 . And I hope they will accept me as I did that day. I’m sure they will.
