Dear Diary,

I've had enough. My parents are always comparing me with other children. In their opinion, my cousin Bella gets better grades than me. Our neighbor Leo is good at doing housework, while I am lazy. Oscar plays the piano wonderfully. However, when they talk about me, they seem to think I don't have any talents. This really upsets me.

Lucas

Do you have a similar problem? Don't worry. These tips might help you.

Almost every student has been through this. You are not alone, so don't be too hard on yourself. Sometimes the way parents show their care feels hurtful, but behind their words is often an expectation. For example, when they say something like "Bella studies so hard", what they try to get across is their hope that you can be more self-disciplined（自律的）. If you can understand what they truly mean, it may help you feel less upset.

Try to talk to your parents in a calm way. You could say, "Mum, comparing me to others makes me feel sad." Let them know that your hard work is important, not just the result. Compare yourself to your past self. For example, you can share with them what you've done better than before. Over time, they will turn their focus from other kids back to you.

Just because your parents compare you with others doesn't mean you're not good enough. No one is perfect — even the kids your parents often talk about. Try to notice what you're good at, and focus on how you grow and improve. Each day, write down one thing you did well. Little by little, your confidence will grow. Slowly, you'll find yourself becoming better.

What did people in ancient China do when they fell sick? Let's read on and find out.

In ancient times, people believed that illness came from bad spirits. That is why China's first "doctors" were shamans, also known as Wu Yi. To treat a sick person, a shaman would perform ceremonies（举行仪式）to drive away the bad spirits.

The Zhou Dynasty was a turning point. In the royal court, some officials took care of health. A medical testing system was also created. But when most people got sick, they would look for a travelling doctor or use old ways passed down in their family.

During the Qin and Han dynasties, many folk doctors worked in cities. They opened clinics and pharmacies（诊所和药房）to see patients. Zhang Zhongjing was the governor（太守）of
