A good brush writing expert once saw a boy practicing brush writing on waste newspapers. He

suggested that if the boy wrote on unused papers, he would do it better.

The boy asked the reason. The expert smiled without 1 a word, only writing one word “force”.

He 2 realized that this was forcing himself to treasure his own

paper to write it better. When

I was a child, I often heard my teacher 3

it, but I thought my teacher was not excellent, so

I felt it boring and couldn’t understand. Hearing and looking at it, suddenly I came to know its

4 and realized that there are only students who didn’t study hard and there was no teacher who

didn’t tell the truth. They told me what to do, however, I didn’t follow them.

I believe in my teachers very much. I understand that there is such a proverb,“ 5 you want

to climb over a wall, please throw your hat 6 .” Because your hat is on the other side of the

wall, you have already had no choice but to find ways to climb over it. It is with 7 a pressure

that you will make every effort to work hard. Many 8 ,we always put our hopes in the future,

feeling that our life has many drafts(草稿).In fact, the drafts of life that 9 us are extremely

“Don’t tell anyone”. We hear these words when someone tells a secret to us. But it can be

hard to keep a secret. Often, we can’t help “spilling the beans”, even if we regret it later.

According to Asim Shah, professor in the Menninger Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral

Sciences at Baylor College of Medicine, US, keeping a secret may well become “a burden”. This

is because people often have an “obsessive and anxious urge(冲动) to share it with someone.

An earlier study, led by Anita E. Kelly, a scientist at the University of Notre Dame, US,

suggested that keeping a secret could cause stress. People entrusted with secrets can suffer from

depression, anxiety, and body aches, reported the Daily Mail.

But with secrets so often getting out, why do people share them at all? Shah explained that

people often feel that it will help them keep a person as a friend. Another reason people share

secrets is guilt over keeping it from someone close to them. A sense of distrust can develop when

people who are close do not share it with each other. “Keeping or sharing secrets often puts people

in a position of either getting or losing the trust of someone,” according to Shah.

He added that talkative people could let secrets slip out. But this doesn’t mean that it is

a good idea only to share secrets with quiet people. A quiet person may be someone who keeps everything

inside. To tell such a person a secret may cause them stress, and make them talk about the secret.

Shah said that to judge whether to tell someone a secret, you’d better put yourself in their

position. Think about how you would feel if you are told that you mustn’t give the information

away. Shah also recommended that if you accidentally give up someone’s secret you should come clean

about it. Let the person know that their secret isn’t so secret any more.
