【推荐1】Anger may feel uncomfortable, but it’s also normal and healthy. It is an emotion built into us to signal that something needs to be dealt with. When we take notice of that signal and actually correct the problem instead of ignoring it, we’re usually much better for it.

Start by looking beyond the superficial (表面上的) trigger to your anger. Anger is often precipitated (仓促发生) by underlying feelings of fear, anxiety, disappointment and guilt. Maybe you’re extremely angry that your partner is late, but it’s really because you were afraid that he or she had a car accident in the bad weather.

It helps to take a cool-down period before explaining to someone you’re angry with how he or she rocked your boat. That will allow for the effects of the adrenaline (肾上腺素) to wear off, which in turn allows you to reflect on what’s bothering you. Do some controlled breathing or find some physical activity to take the edge off. “There’s clear evidence that exercise helps with feelings of anger,” says McIntosh.

When you’re ready to approach the other person, focus on the behaviour and why it upsets you, not the person’s characters. Avoid calling the other person names. Don’t say something bad, and don’t make generalizations (泛化), such as “You always do this!” “The idea”, says Keelan, “is to bring up your reasonable points to the other person in a manner that is most likely to get a helpful and non-defensive response. ”

If you’re on the receiving end, remember that there are benefits to acknowledging and trying to under-stand the other person’s anger. Try offering to make a change, if that seems fair to you. If you’re willing to be a partner in working through heated situations, the other person will be much more likely to bring matters up constructively in the future. In the end, you’ll both be healthier for it.

【推荐2】Suddenly, you wake up in the middle of the night with stomachache. It starts off as a dull pain, but then quickly heightens and seems to move down your body. So, you immediately jump on your computer or phone to search for various conditions you could be suffering from. Could it be a stomach virus, or worse still, stomach cancer?

If this sounds familiar, you may be suffering from cyberchondria. It’s a hybrid term for cyberspace (网络空间) and hypochondria(now called “illness anxiety”), which refers to a state in which people are fearful of having a serious illness. A cyberchondriac is someone who searches the Internet excessively (过度地) for health information and rather than finding relief, diagnoses (诊断) himself or herself with a serious disease, and feels more anxious as a result.

Persons with low levels of illness anxiety can search for health information on the Internet and are more likely to discuss the information with their doctors and make a plan to address the problem. For cyberchondriacs, that’s not the case. Their excessive searches tend to fuel unnecessary fear and anxiety and they often accept what they find online as fact without ever consulting a doctor.

Excessive online searching not only makes a person with high levels of illness anxiety more anxious, there are also other risks. A person might choose to self-treat an illness he/she doesn’t have, taking medicines that may have side effects. What’s more, much of the health information online is not complete. Even one search engine warns its users that medical-related data on the web is intended for informational purposes only and you should always consult a health care professional if you have a medical concern.

The bottom line is that the Internet is an invaluable resource for information, finding providers, making connections and more, but it should never replace the sound advice from a medically trained doctor.

【推荐1】The technology industry is one with deep influence, its progress greatly influencing us and forever changing our lifestyles. There are, however, a few key individuals who have left a deeper mark in this world of tech. These individuals have also changed the lives of many, giving them motivation and the will to persevere to the end. Who exactly are these people?

STEVE JOBS

The first individual is the CEO of Pixar and the co-founder and CEO of Apple, Steve Jobs. Although he passed on years ago, he was, and still is, the perfect role model for many entrepreneurs. Undoubtedly, his life can be compared to that of a rollercoaster. He was fired from the company that he co-founded (which would later become known as Apple) , then he went on to start up two other successful companies, before returning to Apple, where he created the iPhone.

SAL KHAN

The owner of Khan Academy, one of the biggest online education providers. He may not be as famous as the others, but his contribution to education deserves as much credit. Using his website, anyone can have unlimited access to educational videos that teach just about anything under the sun for free, allowing people to gain in-depth knowledge about many subjects without emptying their wallets.

MARK ZUCKERBERG

The list of inspiring tech personalities would not be complete without the mention of the founder of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg. Many are aware of his success in building the $350- billion company but not many know that he had to journey through a rocky path to get to where he is today. He dropped out of college and had disagreements with his co-founders. He had to tide over 22 uncertain times before reaching unprecedented success.Today, Facebook has over a billion users and slightly more than 20, 000 employees. Impressive, indeed.

【推荐3】Walt Disney once said, “It was all started by a mouse”, but in fact, Disneyland started with a problem. Sitting on a bench in Griffith Park and watching his daughters on the carousel (旋转木马), he wondered, “Why isn’t there any sort of amusement experience that the entire family can enjoy together?”

His idea for displaying Disney characters in a fantasy setting was far away from amusement parks and carnivals (狂欢节) that offered rides, games and inexpensive food. Instead Disneyland was thought of as an extension (扩展) of the Disney brand, and would be the first “theme park” built in the United States.

When Disney decided that he would be building a place that told a story, he knew that he would need people and technology to help create the magic and tell the stories. In 1952, Disney collected together a staff of designers, planners and artists and formed WED business, standing for Walter Elias Disney. The WED group began a long time of creative brainstorming. Its members designed and reworked Walt’s broad ideas. They visited other amusement attractions around the country to gather data and impressions and improved development plans, and created a rough construction (建设) timetable.

Construction for Disneyland began on July 21, 1954, just 12 months before the park was scheduled to open. Construction companies worked busily to meet the tight schedule and completed the project on time. Disneyland was formally opened a year later, on July 17, 1955, to excited visitors. Unlike other amusement parks of the day, Disneyland was developed and constructed to be instantly recognizable as an extension of the Disney brand and the Disney idea. The rides used a wide range (范围) of Disney themes, costumed Disney characters wandering around the park, and Sleeping Beauty Castle, the attraction at the heart of the park, was instantly recognized by millions of people since it was seen every Sunday night of ABC television.

Out of Walt Disney’s unpleasant experience as a father taking his daughters to an amusement park has come the multi-billion dollar industry of modern theme parks. Disney’s theme parks dominate (占优势) tourism on both coasts, as well as in Paris and in Tokyo. Disneyland became, in a way, the top of Walt Disney’s career.
