Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答问题）
Once again, my experiment had refused to work. I felt hopeless. A few months earlier, when I started the project, I was confident. I believed I could make it if I worked hard enough. So I spent over 10 hours in the lab every day. When the experiment failed, I simply worked harder. Yet here I was, working harder than ever—but not getting anywhere. I didn’t know what to do.
It was late in the evening. One other person was still in the lab, and he noticed my worried look. He came over and asked how I was doing. I told him about my problems. After we talked through the experiment, he said, “I think it’s time to go home and get some sleep.” “Taking a break is also hard work, you know,” he added with a smile.
Those words opened my eyes. I no longer overworked myself in the lab. I felt less stressed (有压力的) and my research started to progress (进展).
A few years later, my professor and I were discussing an age-old problem at a cafe. As he finished his coffee, he said, “We need to work smarter, not harder.” I felt kind of surprised. I had never heard my professor say anything like this.
Our conversation that day helps me understand that exciting ideas seldom come from a mind under pressure. My best ideas always come after I have allowed my mind to relax—whether that’s cooking a nice dinner or going on long hikes with my brother.
Today, I try to pass this idea on to my own students. _______________________________________.

Facing challenges
Life is filled with challenges. In my study, I always meet with new challenges.
When I was in grade eight, I used to fail my final math exams. This was a serious problem because math is a very important subject. However, I did not quit. I listened to the teacher carefully in class. I also did as many exercises as I could. Besides, I turned to my teacher and classmates for help. In the end, after several months’ hard work, I passed the final exam.
Looking back on this, I realize that whatever challenges I am faced with, if I can spare no efforts and never give up, I will get them over. What’s more, those challenges make me who I am.
