Have you noticed how some lucky people just aren't the worrying type?
Take my friend Ollie,for example.Living on the same block,we've known
each other since we were babies,and I've seen him act worried maybe five
times total.I,on the other hand,am pretty much the exact opposite.I could
find something to worry about every day.
你注意到有些幸运的人不是那种令人担忧的人吗?以我的朋友奥利
为例。住在同一个街区,我们从小就认识,我见过他表现得很担心,总共
可能有五次。【、另一方面,我却恰恰相反。我每天都能找到一些担心的
事情。
Surprisingly,I wasn’t that nervous for the tryouts(选拔).But when I
didn't get the call saying if I was in or out,I started feeling more and more
nervous.Before long,my nervousness turned into worrying,and when it
came to thinking about anything else or getting anything done,I was useless!
令人惊讶的是,我对选拔赛并没有那么紧张(选拔).但当我没有接
到电话说我是进是出时,我开始感到越来越紧张。没过多久,我的紧张变
成了担忧,当我想到其他事情或完成任何事情时,我都没用!
So after lunch yesterday,when my little brother Tex asked me to play
basketball with him,I could only say,“Ican't.I'm busy!”“Busy with

You're reminding me of that old saying,said our mom.
“A
watched pot never boils!""The more you focus on the thing you're waiting
for,the longer it seems to take,"she explained when seeing my brother's
puzzling eyes。
“你让我想起了那句老话,”我们的妈妈说。当她看到我哥哥困
惑的眼神时,她解释道:“你越是专注于等待的事情,似乎需要的时间就
越长。”。
Just then,.the phone rang,and I raced to grab it.“Hello?”“Hey,”
said Ollie.“Oh,it's just you,”I said.“Wow,you sure know how to make
a friend feel special!"said Ollie."I'm sorry.It's just that I've been waiting
for a call telling me if I made it into this karate group,and it's stressing me
out.”“I get it,.”said Ollie.“I remember being so stressed waiting to find
out if I'd made it onto the select soccer team last year.The best cure was
distracting(使分心)myself.”
就在这时,电话铃响了,我赶紧去抢。“你好?”“黑,”奥
利说。“哦,只有你,”我说。奥利说:“哇,你真的知道如何让朋友感
到特别!”。“对不起。只是我一直在等一个电话,告诉我是否能进入这
