Confucius teaches us wisdom to deal with confusion, anxiety and fear. 

Confusion, worry, fear. . . Having such bad feelings is not strange to us. But how can we get through these challenges? We can find Confucius' wisdom in The Analects of Confucius

Confucius said: "The wise are free from doubts, the benevolent from anxiety, and the brave from fear. "—The Analects of Confucius

What does it mean?

Wei Shengkun is a Chinese teacher from the Affiliated High School of Peking University in Beijing. He shares that being wise, kind and brave seem simple and easily understood. However, what makes a person truly wise is questioned. 

Zhu Xi, a great thinker in the Southern Song Dynasty (1127-1279), believed that a truly wise person understand s the main rules of the world. This shows the importance of learning and thinking, because only through these can we truly become wise. Zhu also pointed out that the most important thing in life is to be kind to others and have a heart full of kindness. Such a person won't worry because their kindness helps people around them and helps themselves as well. This person will also have the courage to face the unknown, so they won't fear anything. 

In all, to overcome(克服) bad feelings, we need to start learning as soon as possible and look for the world's greatest truths.

Scientists have found out that wearing different colours can have different power. If we are sad,we choose to wear some dark colours. If we are happy,we often wear some bright colours. So how can colours change our feelings? What colour should we wear? Here is some advice.

Inventions usually make a big difference to people's lives. Do you have any great inventions at home? Do they help you a lot in your life or bring you much fun? Here are some of the most useful inventions in families according to a survey.

The most helpful and creative invention for kids is the reading pen.

With the specially-designed pen, kids find it convenient and fun to learn.

Little kids can learn a lot, including story-telling, poems and music.

They start learning by touching the contents (内容) in the books with the pen. This way kids can learn by themselves. They are also great helpers for primary school students after school.

Sweeping robots are popular with people who are too busy to do housework. They are more popular with office ladies. They can help people clean dirt, dust and hair easily. With the help of them, people don't need to spend much time on housework. They can enjoy a more relaxing life after work.

As for old people, an electric foot basin (盆) is the best invention. It's a good choice to buy one for your grandparents. It can help keep their blood pressure normal.

Yawning(打哈欠) is something we all do—maybe because we're tired or we are not interested in the same old things. Sometimes, just seeing other people yawn can make us yawn, too. But why does it happen like this?

Many of us think we open our mouths when we yawn to take in more air, but in fact it appears there is no clear biological reason. According to BBC Bitesize, a new research suggests it might be because yawning cools the brain(大脑) down and stops it from yawn getting too hot, much like the fan in the computer. This might be why we're more likely to feel sleepy and yawn in warm temperatures.

What is clear is that we might yawn more when we're very tired and ready for a short sleep, and we can control ourselves when we do it. Yawning is something that we can't stop. It happens whether we want to or not. Once we start, nothing could stop us! It's also true that yawning is a contagious behavior. John Drury, a researcher from Sussex University, told BBC, "Dogs yawn when their owners yawn, and animals yawn to each other" His research of this behavior found that it is related to our social group and how close we are to these people, and that we are likely to copy their behavior.

Another research by the University of Nottingham in 2017 found similar results. They asked volunteers to watch other people yawn. They found people's ability to stop yawning was limited(限制) when others around them yawned. They also found when people were told not to yawn, or using electrical stimulation(电), their desire(欲望) to yawn would increase. These findings could be useful, the researchers said, because it might help treat other conditions like Tourette's(儿童抽动症), which involves the same area of the brain.

What is certain is that the act of yawning can happen at any time even when we think we're not tired.

(1) According to BBC Bitesize, the reason why we yawn might be____.  A. our brains need to exercise B. our brains need to be cooled down C. our brains are in need of more air D. our brains work better in warm temperatures
(2) The underlined word contagious in Paragraph 3 probably means____.  A. trained B. expected C. connected D. controlled
(3) What can we learn from the research by the University of Nottingham? A. The findings of the research have been used to treat some disease. B. People will no longer want to yawn when they arc told not to do it. C. People will probably yawn when they see someone around them yawn. D. The use of electrical stimulation can help control the strong wish to yawn
(4) What is the passage mainly about? A. The ways of yawning. B. The studies of yawning. C. The reasons of yawning D. The advantages of yawning.
