Five years ago, my mother gave birth to a brother for me when I was 8. I have learned a lot from getting along with him.

After he was born, I almost became a babysitter（保姆）. I had to amuse him after school. I would make faces or sing to him when he was crying. Sometimes I even carried him everywhere in our yard（院子） to refresh him while my parents were busy. What I liked to do best was to feed him when I'm looking after him. How cute he was when he tasted his favourite food! My parents often praised（表扬）me happily, “As an elder brother, you've made contributions（贡献）to looking after your younger brother.”

I have got happiness from sharing（分享）. When I was young, I was the only child in my family. I could get what I wanted from my parents and get my parents' whole love. I was a “Little Emperor”. But now, as long as I get something good, I will share it with him. I remembered the year when he was three, he was fond of Rubik cubes (魔方). I bought one for him with my lucky money as a birthday present. When he got the toy, he was so happy that he laughed, hugged me and said, “Brother, I love you!”

Thanks for spending these years together with my family. It has taught me what

responsibility（责任）means and what friendship means. Not only should I look after myself, but also I should pay attention to my family and my friends.

If you're feeling tired and stressed because you have too much going on, like lots of after-school activities, you might feel better if you give something up. Sometimes lots of activities—even if they're all fun—can make you feel stressed by keeping you busy all the time. On the other hand, if problems at home are troubling （使烦恼） you, in fact some after-school activities may help you relax and feel better.

There are also relaxing exercises that you can use to keep stress away. The easiest one is to breathe （呼吸） in slowly and deeply through your nose, and then exhale (呼出) slowly through your mouth. Do this two to four times.

（

You can do breathing exercises anytime. You can even do breathing exercises in class if you're nervous before a test.

The best way to keep stress away is to have a balanced life. That means making good decisions about how to spend your time. If you're always busy with schoolwork and have no time to play, you may feel stressed. Make sure you have a balance between work and play. If you take care of yourself and get enough sleep and exercise, you'll probably be less stressed out! Answer the following questions.

76. What can you do if you're feeling tired because of lots of after-school activities? __________________________________________________

77. What may help if you have problems at home according to the passage? __________________________________________________ 78. What can you do if you're nervous before a test?

I'm glad to write to you again. I'd like to talk about my trouble I'm facing these days. I can't get enough sleep. I can only sleep less than seven hours every night. Because I have too much homework to do at night. I have to stay up very late to finish it. I also worry about the final exam. I'm afraid I can't do well in the exam. I am so worried that I can't sleep well at night. So I often feel very sleepy in class. Sometimes I even fell asleep. The teachers were angry with me. I can't remember what teachers said in class, either. It made me feel terrible.

I don't know what I should do. Could you please give me some advice? Write to me soon. Yours, Li Hua
