2 . Everyone gets angry. Many things may make you angry. Maybe your teacher gave you too much homework. Or maybe a friend borrowed your favorite video game and then broke it. You may get angry. You may get angry when something doesn’t go your way. Maybe you get mad at yourself when your team loses an important game. Or maybe you become a road rager（路怒族）when a driver accidentally cuts in front of you. That makes you angry!

You need to know what to do with your anger. Here are some things you can do when you feel angry:

6 . 根据下列短文，写出各小题所给汉语或首字母相对应的英语单词的正确形式（每空一词）。

The earth is 4. 5 billion years old, but the human has lived on it for just 200,000 years. In that short time, we have achieved some amazing things.

Many of humans’ great achievements are in science and technology. The list is almost endless. The     1     (发明) of the airplane has changed our lives. The discovery of antibiotics(抗生素) has saved the lives of     2     (百万) of people. Can you imagine living without electricity? What about the printing? I think we could probably live without them, but life wouldn’t be as interesting.

What about the arts? The arts have brought pleasure to many people, but are the Beatles and Bach more important than antibiotics? And is Mickey Mouse as important an achievement as going to space?

    3     (最后),we must not forget humans’ early achievements. They used fire for cooking and invented the wheel. We can’t     4     (想象) modern life without cooked food and cars.

What are humans’ greatest achievements? To answer the question, we need to decide what we mean by “great”. Is it something that makes us     5     (富有的) or happy or saves lives? Or is it just something that makes us say “Wow” like the Great Wall!? What do you think?

8 . Mark began to introduce the guest speaker to the listeners, but then stopped for a while. He had forgotten her name.

Barbara hid her valuable things when she went on vacation. When she came back, she couldn’t remember where she’d put them.

Perhaps you’ve had such experiences like these. Many people have. But they haven’t realized that they have a memory problem. Neither do they know a simple but important fact: Memory can be improved. If you just accept that, the following will show you how.

First, relax. If you are over worried about something, you’ll forget it. If you keep telling yourself that your memory is bad, your mind will come to believe it and you won’t remember things. When you forget something, don’t follow up with saying like “Oh, my god! I always forget things!” Such words will have a bad result on you and your memory.

But relaxing isn’t enough. To improve your memory, you’ll need to take an active role. Like your body, your memory can be made strong through exercise. Look for opportunities to exercise your memory. For example, if you’re learning a language, try to actively remember a lot of new words.

If you don’t notice things actively, you won’t remember them. So, you can make pictures of what you see in your mind every day. For example, don’t just put your keys down! If you want to find them again, make a mind picture of the place where you’re putting them.

1. The first two paragraphs just tell us ________.

A．language problems of two persons	B．Barbara was a very rich person
C．examples of memory problems	D．Mark often forgot his friends’ names

2. The underlined word “opportunities” in the fifth paragraph means “________.”

3. According to the article, ________ can make your memory better.

C．realizing your memory problems	D．talking to your friends
