I am Jay from Zhuhai Sunshine Middle School. Recently, we carried out a survey on who we prefer to share worries with. We got different answers.

　　 Acording to the chart, those who would like to share their worries with their classmates and friends account for about 71%. It is mainly because they believe that if people are at the same age, they are easy to communicate and understand each other better.

　　About 22% of the students said they would like to share worries with their teachers and parents. According to them, adults are rich in experience, and that they can handle their problems easily. The rest prefer to keep worries to themselves. As for them, it’s a struggle to get along well with others, some of them said they didn’t want to trust anyone.

　　As far as I am concerned, I am willing to share worries with my best friends because they’re always kind and understanding. However, if I meet with some serious problems, I’ll be likely to ask my parents and teachers for help, who, I believe, have more experience to give me valuable advice.

The more books you read, the better your life will be. If you don’t believe me, please consider the following reasons to read more books.

You will have strong brain power .Studies suggest reading makes you smart. Unlike watching television, which requires no thought process（过程）, reading is an active learning experience that will keep your mind sharp (even in old age). 　　
You will travel to a new world .　Sometimes our daily life can start to get boring . At times like this, I like to dive into a good fiction book, where I can forget about whatever problems are stressing me out. I’ll come back refreshed after my mini-vacation to a fresh and exciting place in the world of words. 　　
You will improve your vocabulary .　The more words you’re able to use, the better you will become at expressing your thoughts and feelings. I couldn’t imagine how I would write articles like this if I didn’t actively aim to improve my vocabulary, because using the same few words to express myself would get awfully boring in a hurry. 　
You will entertain yourself at a low price .If you’re looking for entertainment without much money, reading is your best choice. Thanks to the popularity of electronic reading devices(设备), it’s never been easier to entertain yourself for hours at a time, for the low cost of a few dollars.
You will discover surprising new ideas.　　Reading introduced me to concepts （概念）like mindful eating, relaxation exercises, and the importance of loving yourself. If I didn’t read, I wouldn’t realize these ideas. If you don’t read, you will miss many surprising new ideas.　　
You will become an expert（专家） in your field .　Don’t you think reading articles and books by experts in your field might make you better at what you do? If you don’t learn more about your profession, then your lack of passion could be a sign that you’re in the wrong field. 　　
I firmly believe that reading has changed my life . I hope these reasons can encourage you to read more books.

Our spiritual intelligence quotient, SQ (精神智商)helps us understand ourselves and live fuller, happier lives.

　　While we’re all born with SQ, most of us even don’t know that we have it.  Luckily, you don’t have to sign up for classes to learn how to enhance(加强) your SQ. Here are some simple steps that can lead you to this new level of understanding:

　　Sit Quietly. The step of developing SQ begins in solitude （独处） and silence. To tune in to its whisper, you have to keep away from your busy, noisy, complicated life and make yourself do nothing at all. At home, for example, shut the door of your bedroom, take a few deep breaths and let them out very, very slowly.

　　Step Outside. For many people, nature makes their spirit free. Go outside to watch a beautiful sunset. Follow the flight of a bird; watch clouds floating overhead.

　　Find An Activity You Enjoy. It’s important to find a hobby that helps you tune in to your spirit. Garden, walk or jog, arrange flowers, listen to music that touches your soul.

　　Ask Questions Of Yourself. Some people use their thoughtful time to focus on scriptures (经文). Others ask open-ended (无确定答案的) questions, such as “What am I feeling? What are my choices?” But don’t expect an answer to arrive through  some super-natural form of e-mail. Later that day you’ll suddenly find yourself thinking about a problem from a perspective (角度) you never considered before.

　　Trust Your Spirit. While most of us rely on gut feelings (直觉) to warn us of danger, SQ usually nudges （渐渐推动） us, not away from, but toward some action that will lead to a greater good.
