33．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.
