A

"Morn, I can' t do this."  My teenage son Bret stood in front of me with his hands full of papers.

"Can't do what?" I half—looked at him while preparing supper.

"~All these" he waved his hands up down . "There's no way I can do everything my teachers are asking me to do"

I stopped what I was doing and turned to face him. I had never seen him so upset. He made good grade in school and nothing ever seemed to brother him.

Walking over to the kitchen table, I sat down and asked him to join me.

"Showing me what you have to do."

"Mr Jones, my chemistry teacher, wants me to make a project for the Science Fair."

"Okay. And what else?"

"I have an algebra test next week, and that will be one-third of our semester grade" I knew how Bret hate algebra, which always gave him trouble.

"And 1 have to write an English composition. And midterm test are the next week! I need to study for them and I have to get help with Spanish. There's no way I can do everything!"

It broke my heart to see him so stressed out. I wanted to help him, yet I  couldn' t do the work for him. I looked at Bret and said. "You don't  have to do everything at once. You can do one at a time. Let's make a list of what you need to do."

So, one by one, we listed each item. Then we put the due date next to the item. Next we separated the items into parts. When we finished with the list, I asked,  "Do you think you can do this now?"

He smiled and I saw his confidence return. "Sure! Thanks, Mom"

From that day on, Bret made lists for everything he had to do. He completed all his tasks and kept his good grades.

There is a saying that asks, "How do you eat an elephant?" The answer is, "One bite(咬) a time."

How do you greet people in your country? In the UK, a handshake has been the traditional way to say hello. But this seems to be changing.

A new survey shows that the handshake is now less popular. According to results, many British people now consider handshaking "formal, outdated" or "unhygienic" (不卫生). In the past, the British looked down on hugging or kissing as a form of greeting, but not any longer. In fact, almost 50 percent are using other ways to greet, with 16 percent preferring a European kiss on the cheek, and nearly one third choosing a hug.

The study of 1,003 people also found that one in five now feel that shaking hands is too formal, while 42 percent said they would only do it in a business meeting. Forty-two percent also said they would never shake hands when greeting friends, and one in twelve said they preferred not to shake hands in case germs are passed on. However, 87 percent still believe a handshake is more suitable in business.

Psychologist Dr. Jane McCartney said,  "I think the handshake depends on age. The older you are, the more likely you will prefer the handshake. It's  quite a formal introduction. So, it's quite nice that today's generation feel much less reserved."

So, what's your favorite form of greeting?
