24、 (more than 17.5 hours).

25、ell-being scores.Commenting on their findings, the researchers say physical activity has been associated with positive emotional well-being, reduced sadness, anxiety and stress disorders, and improved self-esteem（自尊）in teenagers.- 7 -The researchers note that their study stresses the importance for

32、sses because I displayed effort, not because I learned math. But how can we help young people understand that life rarely rewards you for effort, especially if that effort doesnt lead to understanding of success?Rarely in life do we actually appreciate something more fully just because it took a lot
33、 of effort. Nobody wants to hear her doctor announce: “Boy, did I ever have trouble with your surgery(手术)? I had to get three guys to help me.”Why, then. Do we like to think that somebody must suffer to produce a work of art? I recently learned from Pamela Katzs book The partnership that the song Ma
34、ck the Knife took less than 24 hours to write. And in my office I have printed out the following line from New York agent Besty Lerners book The Forest for the Trees: “Your struggle to produce a piece of writing of interest and value means nothing to the reader. He only cares if the piece succeeds.”
