And unless we deal with our problems, we can easily become unhappy. Worrying about our problems can affect how we do at school. It can also affect the way we behave with our families. So how do we deal with our problems? There are many ways.By learning to forget Most of us have probably been angry with our friends, parents or teachers. Perhaps they said something you didnt like, or you felt they were unfair. Sometimes, people can stay angry for years about a small problem. Time goes by, and good friendships may be lost.When we are angry, however, we are usually the ones affected. Perhaps we have seen young children playing together. Sometimes they have disagreements and decide not to talk to each other. However, this usually does not last for long. This is an important lesson for us: we can deal with a problem by learning to forget.By regarding problems as challenges（把问题看作挑战）Many students often complain about school. They might feel they have too much work to do sometimes, or think the rules are too strict. We must learn how to change these “problems” into “challenges”. Education is an important part of our development. As young adults, it is our duty to try our best to deal with each challenge in our education with the help of our teachers.By thinking of something worseBy comparing yourself with other people, you will find your problems are not so terrible. Think about Stephen Hawking, for example, a very clever scientist, who regards his many physical problems as unimportant. He cant walk or even speak, but he has become very famous and successful. We are probably quite healthy and smart. Lets not worry about our problems. Lets face the challenges instead.Title: 39 to Deal with Problems 40 of us have problems and they affect us. 41 main waysBy learning to 42 Do like 43 children if we are angry with others.

Why not change these problems into challenges?Its young 45 duty to try to deal with each challenge at school.By thinking of something worse Compare ourselves with Stephen Hawking and well find we are lucky 46 . Lets face the problems instead of 47 about them.ConclusionWe have problems, but we can 48 them in the right way.39、 40、 41、 42、 43、 44、 45、 46、 47、 48、 五、词汇A.根据句意和提示写出单词，完成句子。49. “Meals can be _(服务) to you in your room,” the manager said to the guest. 50.
