Life is competitive - some kids can do something faster or better than other kids. This might not seem fair, but all people are different and how well you can do something is different to others. This means there are “winners" and “losers", and lots of people are neither winners nor losers but in-between. You can choose to be a good winner or an even better loser whether you are competing against others or yourself.

Being a "good" winner

No one likes a "show off".

No one likes someone who takes all the praise for the efforts of a team.

No one likes people who put others down to make themselves look good.

To be a good winner you need to:

◆Be modest(谦虚的).

◆ Thank those who helped you for their efforts.

◆ Keep trying to improve your skills.

◆Aim for the next step up in whatever you are doing well.

Being an even better loser

Of course it's disappointing to lose, especially if you are close to winning. Behaving badly or angrily, name-calling and going on about things being "unfair" won't change the final result and will only make you look like a bad sport. And no one likes bad sports either.

To be an even better loser you need to:

◆ Behave politely, nicely and kindly.

◆ Congratulate the other team.

◆ Keep any negative (消极的) thoughts to yourself - at least until you are away from the game.

It's Ok to let out your negative thoughts to your best friend or parents later. And if you don't do very well in a game, try harder to learn for the next one. Improving yourself makes you a winner too.

One day, many years ago, when I was working as a psychologist (心理学家) in England, David was brought into my office. His face was pale and he stared at his feet.

David had lost his father when he was two years old and had lived with his mother and grandfather ever since. But the year before he turned 13, his grandfather died and his mother was killed in a car accident. His teacher told me that he refused to talk to others from then on.

How could I help him?

David didn't say a word. As he was about to leave, I put my hand on his shoulder. "Come back next week if you like," I said.

He came, and I suggested we play a game of chess. He nodded. After that we played chess every Wednesday afternoon-in complete silence. Usually, he arrived earlier than agreed. It seemed as if he enjoyed my company. But why didn't he ever look at me?

"Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with," I thought.

Months later, when 1 was staring at his head, he suddenly looked up at me. "It's your turn," he said After that day, David started talking. He finally got friends in school and he even joined a bicycle club. He wrote to me a few times. Now he has really started to live his life.

Maybe I gave David something. But I learned a lot from him. I learned how time makes it possible to overcome (克服) what seems to be so painful. David showed me how one—without a. word—can reach out to another person. All it takes is a shoulder to cry on, a friendly touch and an ear that listens.

"Without music, life would be a mistake," famous German philosopher (哲学家) Friendrich Nietzsche said over a century ago. Music is a big part of our lives. But in recent years, some US schools have cut music classes to control budgets (预算).

For example, Chicago public schools hurt arts education when it fired (解雇) over 1,000 teachers. Amongthem, 10 percent of the teachers taught art or music, according to The Washington Times. In fact, this is not just a problem in the US. In other countries, such as China and the UK, music classes are not thought to be as important as ones like science, math and history. That's partly because music is not seen as a very important life skill, and it isn't tested. Many students are busy with schoolwork, so parents and students choose to focus on subjects that are tested more often.

However, learning music is beneficial (有益的) in many ways.

When playing music, you need different abilities to work together. It is not as simple as it looks, according to Kenneth Guilmartin of Music Together, an early childhood music development program. For example, when playing the piano, people see music notes and decode (解码) them in their brains. They also use their fingers to make sounds. You need to deal with all these things at the same time.

Music has a special connection with science as well. You can see that many scientists are good at playing music: Einstein played the violin, and German physicist Max Planck was talented in playing the piano.

On 14 March, 2018. one of science's brightest stars went dark. Stephen Hawking, the world-famous British scientist, died at 76 in Cambridge, UK.

Hawking is considered by many people to be the greatest scientist in history since Albert Einstein. He came up with the theory that the universe began with the Big Bang (大爆炸) and will end in black holes. His theories became the base for a lot of later research. He also wrote books to help people understand the universe. His most famous book is A Brief History of Time, which has sold more than 10 million copies around the world, according to CNN.

Besides his scientific achievements, Hawking was also someone who had a strong will (意志力) and optimistic attitude. When Hawking was 21, he wasdiagnosedwith a serious disease that stopped him from walking and talking. Later in life, he had to sit in a wheelchair and "speak" using a computerized voice. But this didn't stop him from living a meaningful and colourful life. "If one is physically disabled, one cannot afford to be psychologically (心理上) disabled as well" he once said.

Hawking travelled around the world to attend science conferences visiting every continent, including Antarctica. He was also a fan of pop culture and appeared on TV shows such as Star Trek and The Big Bang Theory. Hawking has millions of fans in China. His first message of Sina Weibo was a greeting to his "friends in China" posted in both English and Chinese.

He celebrated his 60th birthday by going up in a hot-air balloon When he was 65, he took part in a zero-gravity flight to experience weightlessness (失重). He hoped to travel into space one day.

In 2013, Hawking spoke about how he felt life was unfair when he first knew his disease. "But now, 50 years later, I can be quietly satisfied with my life, "he said.
