問題詳情：

An American teacher walked up and down in a classroom while she was teaching stress management to her students. As she   41   a glass of water, everyone   42   they would be asked the “half empty or half-full” question.

  43  , with a smile on her face, she asked, “how   44   is this glass of water?”

Answers called out   45   from eight to twenty ounces (盎司).

She quieted the students down and then replied, “The absolute weight doesn’t   46  . It all depends on how long I hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it’s not a   47  . If I hold it for an hour, I’ll have an ache in my   48  . If I hold it for a day, my arm will feel   49   and paralyzed. In each case, the weight of the glass of water doesn’t change, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes. Do you know why? ”

All the students kept silent and listened carefully,   50   in thought.

She continued, “Our   51   and worries in life are like that glass of water. Think about them for a while and   52   happens. Think about them a bit longer and they begin to   53  . And if you think about them all day long, you will feel paralyzed ---  54   to do anything.”

It’s important to remember to   55   your stresses. As early in the evening as possible, put all your   56   down. Don’t carry them through the evening and into the night. Remember to put the glass down!

More often than not life gets terrible   57   we think too much. And the moment you    remove your burden, you’ll find yourself feeling so much more   58  .

So   59   moping around (閒逛) and feeling sorry for yourself, start doing something about it. After all, life is too short to   60   yourself to anything that’s not making you happy.
