Anger is a kind of feeling. Many things can make you angry. When your teacher gives you too much homework, when your team loses an important game, when a friend borrows your favorite thing and then breaks it, you may get really angry.
Usually, your body will tell you when you are angry. For example, you breathe faster, your face turns red, and you may want to break something or hit someone, but sometimes, you hide(隐藏) your anger. For example, you may hide it in your heart. The problem is that if you do this, you may get a headache or your stomach may hurt.
In fact, it' s not good to hide your anger, and it' s normal for you to get angry sometimes. But anger must be let out in the right way, without hurting others or yourself.
When you get angry, you can talk about it with other people. It' s helpful to talk about your anger with an adult, such as parents, a teacher, etc. When you talk about anger, those bad feelings can start to go away. Here are some other things you can do when you start to feel angry: talk to a good friend; count from 1 to 100; give someone a hug; go for a bike ride; think about good things, etc.
Remember that how you act when you are angry can make everything better or worse. Don' t let your anger control you.
( )51. You may not get angry when ________.
A. there is too much homework on this weekend
B. your favorite basketball team wins the game
C. a friend breaks your favorite thing
D. your parents don' t let you watch TV
( )52. ________ shows that you' re not angry.
A. Taking a faster breath B. Getting a headache
C. Getting a stomachache D. Wanting to protect someone
( )53. According to the passage, you can do everything when you get angry except(除了) ________.
A. go for a bike ride B. think about good things
C. talk to a good friend D. say bad things to the people around you
( )54. The underlined word “control” in the last paragraph means ________ in Chinese.
A. 控制 B. 连接 C. 帮助 D. 失去
( )55. This passage is mainly about ________.
A. anger B. excitement C. happiness D. sadness
C
It' s always easier to say “Yes” because most of us want to please other people. Somebody asks you to go for a party but you have tests the next day, or to help them though you are busy at the moment, or to join the activities you have no interest at all! Even though your heart is crying NO, you find the word “Yes” come out of your mouth. However, it usually results in anger—not only for the person who asked you, but also for yourself for not being strong enough.
Lisa Messenger, the Collective Hub CEO, said in her first few years of business, many people asked her to talk over a coffee. Actually, she usually ended up having 20 coffee meetings a week and that stopped her from doing business because she didn't have time to do her own work.
Messenger finally learned to refuse like “No, I' m sorry, but I don' t have time.” She believes if you say “Yes”, you will regret(后悔) later. Or your heart will be filled with guilt, fear or anger because you feel bad for agreeing to do something you never want to. So you need to be brave enough to say “No” when you' re asked at first.
Janine Garner, CEO of The LBD Group, believed we need to get very clear about our goals. Unless we work towards our goals, nobody else will care about our time. Garner said, “We may end up saying ‘Yes’ because we feel sorry for somebody who needs us. But we end up having that terrible feeling in our heart. You can only achieve the best of you by stopping doing the things that take up your time and don' t add（增加） anything towards your goals. Take a good look at the time spent on others,which you really should spend on yourself.”
（ ）56.The writer leads in the topic by________.
A. telling a story B. giving examples C. making a survey D. asking questions
（ ）57.What does the underlined word “guilt” in Paragraph 3 mean in Chinese？
A. 惊慌 B. 欢乐 C. 疑惑 D. 内疚
（ ）58.We can learn from the passage that now Messenger________.
A. knows how to refuse others politely
B. always agrees to help her workmates
C. likes drinking coffee in her work time
D. feels angry when she can' t help others
（ ）59.Which opinion would Janine Garner probably agree with？
A. Offering help is the key to make friends.
B. Helping others may make you successful.
C. You' d better say “No” bravely if necessary.
D. People who need us will care about our time.
（ ）60.What' s the structure of the passage？（①＝Paragraph 1）
B. C. D.
D
Modern life is impossible without traveling. The fastest way of traveling is by plane. With a modern airliner, you can travel in one day to places which needed a month or more to get to hundreds of years ago.
Traveling by train is slower than by plane, but you can see the places you are traveling through. Modern trains have comfortable seats and dining-cars. They even make the longest journey enjoyable.
Some people prefer to travel by sea. You can visit many other countries or different parts of your country. Ships are not so fast as trains or planes, but traveling by sea is a very pleasant way to spend a holiday.
Many people like to travel by car. You can make your own timetable. You can travel three or four hundred miles or only fifty or one hundred miles a day, just as you like. You can stop if there is something interesting, for example, at a good restaurant where you can enjoy a good meal, or at a hotel to spend the night. That' s why traveling by car is popular for pleasure trips, while people usually take a train or a plane when they travel on business.
（ ）61. From the passage, we know the fastest way of traveling is ________.
A. by train B. by sea C. by plane D. by car
（ ）62. If we travel by car, we can ________.
A. make the longest journey enjoyable B. travel to a very far place in a few minutes
C. make our own timetable D. visit many other countries
（ ）63. The underlined word “They” in the passage refers to(指的是) ________.
A. modern trains in the country B. the comfortable seats and dining-cars
C. the travelers on the modern trains D. the slower ways of traveling
（ ）64. When people travel on business, they usually take ________.
A. a plane or a car B. a car or a boat C. a boat or a train D. a train or a plane
