Laozi, a famous Chinese philosopher (哲学家) who lived around 2,500 years ago, might give us an answer,上善若水。水善利万物而不争，处众人之所恶，故几于道。道德经The top goodness is like water, benefiting all, contending with none, and is content with all that others disd
27、ain. Therefore, it is close to the Word.The Word and the WorldA Chinese teacher called Zhen Daqian from a high school in Beijing gave further explanation: Laozi tells us the top character is just like water. All life in the world cannot live without water, but water never asks for anything in return
28、. It just keeps giving quietly. Also, water often stays where people dont like, such us low-lying wetlands and deserted valleys (山谷). This kind of low profile (低调) makes water the closest to the law of the universe. It seems that we have always taken qualities like bravery and strength as great virt
29、ues, but we should not forget what water has taught us.In dealing with people, we can act as water. Do our best to help others without trying to get fame (名誉) or benefit. At the same time, stay modest. Its unwise to always talk about the favors you gave to others. Even if no one cares about you in a
30、 difficult situation, you need to stay calm. After all, water will not choose where to be, it just flows to where it is needed.We know that the Chinese nation has always valued Laozis ideas about water. In 2014, President Xi Jinping mentioned it at the welcome dinner of the 22nd APEC Economic Leader
31、s Meeting (亚太经合组织会议) in Beijing.

34、D. All the APEC members should keep the peace of the Pacific Ocean.DIt is not a surprise that people in the modern times are having much more stress than before. Thankfully, a new study has found an easy way to deal with the problem. Researchers from the University of Hyogo (兵库大学) in Japan have foun
35、d that small green plants on the desk can go a long way towards reducing peoples stress.More than 60 people from different jobs took part in the study. Half of them were asked to work as usual without any plants in sight (视线) while the other half were given a plant to put on their desks. More than 9
36、0 per cent of the office workers showed lower stress levels after taking a three-minute rest to look at their plants.The study has found that it does not matter whether people were directly looking at their plants or only having the plants near their computers. As long as people had a green plant in
37、 sight, their stress levels changed greatly. Moreover, this finding worked on everyone no matter how old they were and what their jobs were.“People used to go outdoors into nature to relax themselves, but now they have less time to do so,” one of the researchers said. “Lucky for them, our study has
