I didn’t want to do anything the next day. Then, I read a passage about dealing with negative emotions (消极情绪). It said we should not keep negative feelings inside. We should have a talk with someone we trust. So, I told my mother everything. She listened to me carefully. She said I should communicate with my friend and say sorry first. She also said true friendship is valuable. I followed her advice. I called my friend and we talked for a long time. We understood each other again. Now we are good friends again. I’m very happy.

(NO more than 15 words) B When people hear the word “stress” (压力), they usually think of something bad. However, stress can be good for the body and mind. To begin with, people may feel stressed when there is something important to do. For example, some students are stressed before a big test. The stress might make them feel nervous. But it also makes them focused(注意力集中的). This type of stress can help people work efficiently (高效地) to meet their goals. Also, stress can help us keep healthy. Scientists who study stress have learnt that a little stress could make the immune system (免疫系统) stronger. When your body learns how to deal with some stress, it’s able to protect you better from getting ill. The final advantage of stress is that it can help us to get out of danger. If you see a car coming around the corner too fast, you might experience stress. This stress sends a message to tell you about the danger, making your body move quickly. You may not be able to jump out of the car's way soon enough without the stress. Of course, too much stress is bad for our bodies and minds. But the right amount (量) of stress makes us more efficient, healthier and safer. 56．What do most people think about stress? 57．How may some students feel before a big test? 58．What can your body do when it learns to deal with some stress? 59．What can stress help us do when we are in danger? 60．What do you think of stress?
