1 . The people you work with are driving you mad and you’d love nothing more than to_______ at them at the top of your lungs. Sure, you’d feel better, but obvious anger remains a taboo（禁忌）at the office. In some cases, it could get you fired. _______, most of you keep a tight lid on your anger.

Office life is increasingly _______ and many workers feel powerless with little control. According to a study, 83% of us have seen a colleague lose their temper at work and 63% of us have lost our temper. The worst office irritants（刺激物）are computer crashes,_______printers, lazy colleagues, inconsiderate bosses and after-hours work email.

But there might be a better solution, one that lets off steam and keeps you _______. “Enter rage rooms”, a trend for a space where you can release your anger with the help of a baseball bat or by smashing items and leaving someone else to clean up the mess. You are given _______ to get angry in a safe environment.

“People are always told not to break things, to control anger, to be well-behaved,” says Stephen Shew, co-founder Battle Sports in Canada. “But in the rage room, they can do just that and not get in trouble. They love to smash printers, as it’s the typical _______ of an office environment, and destroying one is quite _______— think printer destruction in the 1999 comedy Office Space.

The service packages typically cost between $20 and $100 for sessions lasting 10 to 45 minutes. Some clients book a longer one so that they can arrange their chosen items in a particular _______, such as building them into a pyramid.

Then is this really a(n) ________ remedy for stress? Shew says there’s a(n) ________ customer base, from people as young as 19 years old right up to those over 50. Women make up about 60% of rage room participants. “But the room is not a cure-all for your anger,” he warns, “We always tell people that were neither therapists and nor doctors. We’re not saying we’re going to control your anger. These rooms are simply a(n) ________ for dealing with stress.

Professor Brad Bushman of The Ohio State University published a study in 2002 showing Catharsis Theory—acting aggressively or viewing aggression is an effective way to clear anger away-just doesn’t work. It is like using gasoline to put out a flame, which just ________ the flame. It keeps aggressive thoughts active in memory and even   ________     them if people dwell on what made them angry. Indeed, doing nothing at all or doing something irrelevant with anger is more effective. He suggests ________ yourself, such as watching a non-violent funny movie.

Dear Grandpa,

How are you those days? I have been missing you very much after I went to college a year ago. Whenever I think of the old days, I feel very happily. I still remember when I was child, you always held me in your arms and told me stories till I fall asleep. We often went to the fields to enjoy the pleasant view there. You told me the name of different plants and their characteristics. Gradually, I became interesting in biology and chose to learn biology when I entered into the college. Now my friend Ann, together with me, are going to do field study and the findings will be use as materials for our research. Since we’ll do the study in our hometown, I hope to see you by then.

Yours,

Daisy
