The retired teacher's plants were small, but still looked okay, while the lawyer's plants were much bigger and greener. One night, there was a heavy rain and strong wind, then came a terrible storm.

The lawyer was surprised. He went to ask the retired teacher.“We both grew the same plants and I cared for my plants better than you did. How could your plants still be okay ” The retired teacher smiled and said, “Because you gave your plants too much care. You made it too easy for them to grow.

Now more people have to work indoors with computers. This means much sitting and little exercise. We have known that if we don't move much, we will get fatter, we will have heart problems and maybe we will get diabetes(糖尿病). But new studies have shown that it could hurt our mental (精神的) health too.
A study of 937 Brazilian adults found that about one-third of them sat for more than 10 hours per day. It reported that people who sat for too long often showed more symptoms(症状) of depression (抑郁) .
Another study was centered on children. It found that each extra hour of sitting time at the age of 12, 14 and 16 led to higher depression points at age 18.
But according to Mats Hallgren from Sweden,“Sitting for too long can slow the blood flow(流动) in the body, including the blood flow to the head.”It might be bad for the growth of neurons(神经细胞) in the head. Besides, couch potatoes might do other unhealthy things while sitting, such as eating junk food. All of these may lead to depression.
The good news It's easy to control. Aaron Kandola from University College London, said even light exercise might help.“It is great to exercise and play sports.”said Kandola. But anything you can do to avoid sitting for too long will help with moods(心情), stress and thinking clearly. The key is just to move more often.

Possible Version One:
Miss Lin gives us two kinds of homework every day. We can choose the one we like to finish. I like creative homework better. I think traditional homework is very boring. It is not helpful to our thinking. There are many kinds of creative homework such as drawing a mind map, singing an English song, acting an English play, making an English poster and so on. They can open our mind and improve our thinking ability.
Last week, our English teacher asked us to draw a mind map about the differences of the culture between China and Canada. I found the useful information on the Internet and drew beautiful pictures. Doing these really helped me learn about the foreign culture.
In a word, creative homework is more challenging to me, but it really helps me learn more.
