A study shows that being positive can make you less stressed (焦虑的). For example, when you are practicing for a school play, if you believe things will go well, you are less likely to feel nervous, and it will make you calmer and be able to practice better.

However, it is not easy to believe things will be OK. Michael, a scientist in thoughts and feelings, suggests saying sentences like "I can do this", or "There is always tomorrow". He believes words have great power. Michael says, "You can also practice being positive by reading hopeful news or celebrating the little things."

Here are more ways to help you think and do things positively:

● Write three things every day you feel thankful for.

● If you're worried about something, like losing a game, ask "What happens if I don't win?"

● Change bad thoughts for good ones, like "Things could go well."

On a sunny autumn day, Joy went there with her parents. She saw apples, oranges, tomatoes and cucumbers in the yard. She took many pictures and found some beautiful plants with small green leaves. "What are they?" she wondered.

Uncle Mark up a small leaf, and put it into her mouth. "Yuk! That is too strange."

"Why not?" asked Joy. "I can't see anything else."

"We eat the fruits. Look! Over there" Uncle pointed to the root of the plant.

Then Uncle invited Joy to pull it out. With much effort, she pulled the plant.

She was already out of breath when she made it. Looking at the plant, she cheered, "Wow! So many peanuts (花生) here"

Joy pulled out some more plants and lined them up. Each one had lots of peanuts on the roots. Then she sat at the table with her parents to peel (剥去) and wash. The peanuts were so fresh. Joy couldn't wait for a taste.

Joy loved the peanuts so much. An idea hit her, "Uncle," she said. "Can I plant the peanuts together with you next year?"

"Of course." Uncle smiled.

Thinking about Careers (职业生涯): What am I good at?

Some children are dreaming of being doctors or scientists when they were young. In fact, you won't have to worry about what job you have in the future—many adults (成人) change careers a lot of times before they find their true passions (热情). And sometimes people find out that their passions are outside of their jobs. There's no hurry! But there are still a few things you can do before choosing your career.

First, it can be fun to start thinking about what you want your future to look like. Do you want to design fashionable clothes? Be a teacher at a school or a manager in a bank? Spend quiet days working on writing or paintings? All those thing are possible! Think of all the qualities (品质) that make you who you are, then try to find out what job would be best with those qualities. If your friend Andy is a good listener, maybe he will become a doctor. If friends often come to you to ask for help in science class, maybe you'll end up being a science teacher or a scientist!

And it's always a good idea to collect ideas about careers from the adults around you. Start by asking the closest adults about all the jobs they've had in their lives. They might give you a big surprise.
