Steve Taylor was in his room lying down for sleep while his mother Katelyn was taking a shower. She wanted to take a bath before going to bed. The 5yearold boy was just going to fall asleep when he heard a loud noise from the bathroom. He hurried to have a look.
When he got to the bathroom, he found his mother lying in the bathtub(浴缸) with blood(血) coming from her head. She had an epileptic fit(癫痫发作) and didn't know anything. However, little Steve kept a cool head.
He first went to his 2monthold sister and put her in a blanket(毛毯), placing her on the sofa. He then climbed up a chair to open the door. Once the door opened, Steve picked her up from the sofa and went to his neighbor's house. The neighbor, Jessica, was very surprised to see her two young neighbors standing outside her door at such a strange hour.
She first thought the little boy was coming to talk about his dog. But he said, "No, my mom died in the shower. Can you take care of us？" Jessica ran to the next door in a hurry and found Katelyn in the shower with the water still running. She called 911 and help arrived just in time.
Ms. Taylor believed that her son saved her life. If not her son, she probably would have died right there in her bathtub. The local people praised(赞扬)Steve.

Have you had a headache during a test? Have you ever been so worried about something that you have a headache or even can't sleep at night? If so , then you know what stress is. Stress is what you feel when you are worried about something. This worry in your mind can make your body feel bad. You may feel angry, sad, or afraid—all of them can give you a stomachache or a headache.
However, there are different kinds of stress. Some kinds of stress are good and others are bad. Good stress might happen when you are called to answer questions in class or when you have to give a speech in public. This kind of stress can help you to get things better done. For example , you may do a better job on your test if the stress pushes you to prepare better before the test.
On the other hand, bad stress can happen if the stress lasts too long. You may not feel well if a family member is ill , if you are having problems at school, or if anything else makes you unhappy every day. That kind of stress isn't going to help you. And it can actually make you sick.
The best way to fight the stress is to have a balanced life. Make sure you keep in mind: sleep, exercise, relax, and food. If you get enough sleep and eat healthily, and if you exercise and leave time to have fun, you will feel less stressed.
