As a result, his efforts have attracted more than 14,000 followers since March. Some of his videos have received as many as 17,000 likes.

you get really angry every time you think of them. If you don’t let this anger go, it can turn into bitterness(痛苦)
Bitterness appears when we can’t forgive(原谅) someone who has hurt us or made us angry. Someone might say or do something that hurts us. But Instead of controlling the anger, we keep it deep inside. Before long, a bitter feeling begins to grow. We may think we’re hurting that person by criticizing him or her often, but we’re really only hurting ourselves.
Bitterness can not only lead to serious health problems such as heart disease, but also hurt our relationships with friends and family members. No one enjoys being around an anger person for very long.
If you see bitterness in your life, here are some ways to deal with it.
Accept it
Instead of trying to deny your anger, make it clear to yourself and accept it. See your anger for what it is and quickly deal with it.
Stop making excuses for it
You may feel you have a right to be anger. You may think you’re right and the other person is wrong. You may even secretly enjoy making the other person look bad. But in the end, bitterness hurts you much more than the other person. The bitterness will hold you back, and the other person will go on with his or her life.
Forgive and forget it
You probably can’t completely put the anger out of your mind. But you can decide to forgive the other person. Forget it and move on. You’ll enjoy better health and peace of mind.

【推荐3】Many families share photos of their children on the Internet. Has your mom or dad ever posted a photo of you on the Internet that you didn’t want anyone outside your family to see? Usually, a parent will post almost 1,000 photos of a child online before the child turns 5, according to a recent survey.
Parents often post photos on the Internet because they want to share their children’s important events and special moments with friends and family. Some parents do it as a way to communicate with other parents. They may be looking for health tips or other advice. Most parents don’t ask their children for permission (允许) before posting photos of them. They feel it is not necessary to ask their children first and they don’t think there will be any possible risk.
Some parents and child experts believe that kids older than 6 should be consulted (商量). They say that photos can stay online for many years and that kids should have some control over their online presence (存在). Devorah Heitner, a writer, believes that parents should get their kids’ permission before posting their photos. “It teaches your child that his or her photo is his or her own,” she said.

【推荐1】Cats or Dogs?
Both cats and dogs are popular pets. Most families, however, can keep only one pet. It can be hard to decide whether(是否)to take a cat or a dog into your home. Here, some middle school students are having a cats VS. dogs debate(辩论).
Group A: Donna Walker
We think cats are better for most families. Many people want to keep a pet, but they live a busy life. Cats don’t have to be taken outside to use the bathroom. Instead, they just use a litter(垃圾)box. Their owners only need to keep the litter box clean. They don’t need to worry if they are away at work for most of the day. They never have to run home from work early in order to walk their pet.
Group B: Gary Hall
No, dogs are better. Just think about why you want to keep a pet. Dogs can bring you lots of happiness. When you go back home from school or work, your dog will always greet(打招呼)you at the door with excitement. Cats…huh…When you walk into the room, never expect your cat to be too excited about seeing you. What’s the point in keeping such a pet?
Group A: Brian Ross
Well, cats seem to have their own timetables, but when they do look for love, they will do their best. Moreover, cats usually live longer than dogs. Most cats can live up to 15 years while most dogs only have 13 years on the planet. Isn’t it nice to be able to spend more time with your pet?
Group B: Annie Miller
But dogs are more loyal. A dog never leaves its owner no matter what happens. Dogs also keep you safe. If a bad guy tries to break into your home, your dog will drive him away with loud barks(吠叫).
Group A:Paula Lee
Yeah, dogs make so much noise! Some dogs bark at almost every stranger, but are there so many bad guys? Cats, however, are quiet most of the time.
Group B: Eric Bell
Dogs can be trained(训练)well. Cats have claws(爪子)and they are interested in everything. They can cause much more trouble!
1. Who most probably believes that cat keepers don’t have to spend too much time on their pets?A.Donna Walker. | B.Paula Lee. | C.Annie Miller. | D.Eric Bell. |
A.telling stories | B.giving examples | C.using sayings | D.listing numbers |
A.friendly | B.interesting | C.true-hearted | D.dangerous |
A.cats usually greet their owners excitedly at the door |
B.most cats usually live a longer life than dogs do |
C.when dog owners are in danger, dogs will run away |
D.cats are quiet most of the time, so they hardly cause much trouble |
We feel angry or guilty about the things we did or did not achieve, about the things we cannot have, and many other things. It seems that everyone carries their own bad emotions. But neither guilt nor anger can help us. Over time, they can be heavy weights on our shoulders.
These bad emotions don’t do anything good for us at all. So you might ask yourself—is it possible to put down this heavy burden and give yourself a break? It is quite possible. Start by actually looking at your feelings. How do they get inside of us? Why do we carry them for so long instead of putting them down? Can we live without them?
By thinking about our bad emotions, we can find healthy ways to deal with them. Unhealthy behaviors are not the way to do this. They provide no relief. Instead, there are better ways to handle them. One of the best ways is forgiveness.
Forgiveness is a powerful tool. We should forgive ourselves first. We shouldn’t keep bad emotions inside. We must also forgive others who have made us guilty or angry. This is not always easy. But when we learn to forgive ourselves, it becomes easier to forgive others as well.
There is nothing good about carrying years of emotional burdens. By forgiving ourselves and others, we can abandon our burdens and feel better about ourselves. The moment you do this, you will start to feel a lot lighter. Years of heaviness will be magically lifted! You’ll start to feel like you have more energy and you’ll be much happier with your life.
1. What is the first step to remove the burden of bad emotions?A.Studying your emotions. | B.Trying to live without them. | C.Asking others some questions. |
A.forgetting the past | B.keeping bad emotions inside | C.forgiving ourselves and others |
A.carry on | B.put away | C.get rid of |
A.How to deal with bad emotions. |
B.How to become an energetic person. |
C.Why we should forget about forgiveness. |
