(2018·浙江五校联考)A woman professor was giving a lesson to her students on __1__ management. As she raised a glass of water, everyone in the class __2__ they would be asked the “halfempty or halffull” question. __3__， that was not the case. With a smile on her face, she asked the students, “How much do you think this glass of water weighs？”
Answers called out __4__ from eight to twenty ounces (盎司)．
She quieted the students down and then replied, “The absolute weight doesn’t __5__. But it counts how long you hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it is OK. If I hold it for an hour, I will have an ache in my __6__. If I hold it for a day, my arm will feel numb. In each case, the __7__ of the glass of water doesn’t change, but the __8__ I hold it, the heavier it becomes. Why？”
Lost in __9__， all the students kept silent and listened to the professor carefully.
“Our stresses and __10__ in life are like that glass of water. If we __11__ our burdens all the time, sooner or later, we will feel exhausted, even unable to __12__.”
__13__ you have to do is put all your burdens down, as __14__ in the evening as possible. Don’t carry them through the evening into the night; by doing this, we can get __15__ next morning and are __16__ to move forward.
More often than not, life gets terrible when we __17__ too much. And the moment you __18__ your burdens, you’ll find yourself feeling much more relaxed.
So rather than being upset and feeling __19__ for yourself, start doing something about it. After all, life is too short to __20__ yourself to anything that is not making you happy.

When I first came to Rochester from Austin, Texas — a place where fall is practically nonexistent — I was excited for a real northern fall. But, I wasn’t __1__ it to feel like Christmas in October.

By “real” I __5__ a distinctive season, a(n) __6__ in the weather and a visual changing of the world around me. The leaves __7__ colors, it rains more often, the air is almost always __8__ and dry, and a light breeze __9__ me to walk a bit faster to get inside. Yes, it is more difficult to be __10__ outside in a Rochester fall — where it is not just “less hot” but __11__， fairly cold. But, I would argue that time spent outside in this season could be more __12__ than in the summer.
Everyone __13__ that fall is about change — I won’t argue against that. Things do __14__ in the fall — the weather is __15__ becoming worse and worse, the dying leaves become warmly colored, and __16__ you know it, we’ll be back to having only eight hours of sunlight a day.
This oncoming change is why I think it is so important to __17__ fall. Fall is not just about the __18__ of change, but also appreciating what will soon be __19__. Go __20__ this fall. Enjoy the leaves not because they are turning
