One afternoon I visited an art museum while waiting for my husband to finish a business meeting. I was looking forward to a quiet view of the art works.
A young couple viewing the paintings ahead of me chatted nonstop (不停) between themselves. I watched them a moment and found the wife was doing all the talk. I admired (赞赏) the husband for putting up with her continuous (持续的) talk. Distracted (分心) by their noise, I moved on.
I met with them many times as I moved through the different rooms of art. Each time I heard her continuous talk, I moved away quickly.
I was standing at the counter (柜台) of the museum gift shop when the couple came near to the exit. Before they left, the man reached into his pocket and pulled out a white thing. He extended (展开) it into a long stick and then tapped (敲打) his way into the coatroom to get his wife’s jacket.
“He’s a brave man.” The salesman at the counter said, “Most of us would give up (放弃) if we were blind (瞎的) at s uch a young age. But he said his life wouldn’t change during his recovery (恢复). So, as before, he and his wife come in when there’s a new art show.”
“But how does he enjoy the art?” I asked, “He can’t see.”
“Can’t see? You’re wrong. He sees a lot. More than you or I do.” The clerk said, “His wife describes each painting so he can see it in his head.”
I learned something from the couple that day. I saw a young wife describing paintings to a person without sight (视力) and a husband who would not allow blindness to change his life. And I saw the love shared by two people as I watched this couple walk away hand in hand.

Everyone has worries, but what do you do with your worries? Whether (是否) your worries are big or small, you can take three steps to deal with them.
◆Try to find out the causes
The first step is to find out what you’re worried about. Sometimes you know it. But sometimes you may not. If you can’t make sure what your worries are, you will have more and more problems in your life. So remember that you must try to find out the causes before you start to deal with them, even though (尽管) it might not be so easy.
◆Think of the ways
Something can be done to help you feel less worried. If you only sit there and wait, you can’t solve your problems.
Marks at school are often a top worry for students. If you have such worries, don’t complain(抱怨). You should ask yourself these questions:
◇How do I get ready for classes? Do I review my notes even when there isn’t a test?
◇Do I have a good way to do my homework?
◇Have I tried different ways of studying?
If your worry is about a scuffle（乱斗）with your friends, you might write a note to him or her, invite him or her to activities like a basketball game. If you do something like that, you can get your friend back easily and won’t fight with him or her again.
◆Ask for help
When you are worried, you need to find someone to communicate with. You can ask your parents, friends, or
teachers for help. They will help you analyze（分析）your worries carefully. They are very glad to help you
