When you are learning English, you find it not clever to put an English sentence, word for word, into your own language. Take the sentence“How do you do?”as an example. If you look up each word in the dictionary, one at a time, what is your translation? It must be a wrong sentence in your own language.

　　Languages do not just have different sounds, they are different in many ways. It's important to master（掌握）the rules（規(guī)則）for word order in the study of English, too. If the speakers put words in a wrong order, the listeners can't understand the speakers' sentence easily. Sometimes when the order of words in an English sentence is changed, the meaning of the sentence changes. But sometimes the order is changed, the meaning of the sentence doesn't change. Let's see the difference between the two pairs of sentences.

　　“She only likes apples.”“Only she likes apples.”

　　“I have seen the film already.”“I have already seen the film.”

　　When you are learning English, you must do your best to get the spirit（精神實(shí)質(zhì)）of the language and use it as the English speaker does.

Class，do you know，overseas Chinese youths，such as Chinese Americans，Chinese Canadians，and Chinese Australians are growing up in two different kinds of culture．Sometimes they are confused about culture（文化）of the Society（社會）and the Chinese cultural background（背景）of their family．“Which country is my motherland?”，“Where is my original hometown?” are some of the questions they may ask．

After the camp，Sam，a Chinese American，said that this time he came to Beijing to see the Great Wall of China With his own eyes．A girl from Canada said that she learned very little from books and her parents，but now she deeply experienced the culture．Most of them realized the links（連接）between themselves and China at Root-Seeking Camp．One said，“With only what my parents say，I can’t feel proud of my Chinese origin，but now I not only feel proud of my motherland but also love her．I will remember this root searching tour forever．”

It’s 2009．You feel sick, so you go to the doctor．She checks your fever, looks at your throat, and asks what you’ve been thinking about lately． When you leave，she gives you some medicine, but also a list of thinking skills that you are supposed to practice daily． She says that the way you think is causing some of your illness．

Doctors and other scientists who study the human mind and try to explain why people behave in the way that do, called psychologists, are starting to believe it．You know that your brain is connected to every part of your body through your nervous system（神經(jīng)系統(tǒng)）．Now scientists have proved that how you think and feel can have an influence on the health of your body．

Stress（壓力，緊張） is caused whenever there is a problem or a change in your life．Of course, everybody has stress more or less; nobody’s life is perfect．In fact, stress is necessary． Without stress, we would never learn anything or grow or change．We would probably be bored to death．But too much stress can hurt you． It can weaken your body’s protection so that you are more likely to catch diseases．It can even make you more likely to have an accident．

When you feel stress, your brain sends a message to your body to produce a chemical called adrenaline（腎上腺素）．Adrenaline speeds up your breathing and your heartbeat． Today you have a different kind of stress．Problems like endless homework or troubles with your family are the kind of things you can’t fight or run away from, so you don’t use up all that adrenaline．It just stays bottled up inside you, and that’s what can do something bad to you．

What can you do about stress? First, you can try to find ways to change things so you aren’t under so much stress．You can set up a plan to finish homework or go to a doctor or a psychologist to try to work things out with your family or your friends．But sometimes you can’t change a stressful situation．Sometimes you don’t even want to． A big change might be a good change, but it will still be stressful．

The link（關(guān)聯(lián)） between your body and brain works in two ways．Your body can help your mind deal with stress．If you are under stress, you need to take especially good care of your body．It’s important to get enough sleep and eat nutritious meals．Some people take a vitamin-mineral pill every day．Another thing that you can do is daily exercise． If you go walking or do aerobic dancing or work out at the gym, you give your body a chance to burn up some of that adrenaline．Of course, a person who isn’t used to much physical activity should start slowly．Anyone with a continuing physical problem should check with a doctor before staring any exercise programs．
