1 . Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer.
For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person’s health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases the same hormones ( 荷 尔蒙 ). They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etc.
Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure.
Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. They said that laughter is much healthier than anger.
A.In general, the person feels excited and ready to act. |
B.But other people keep their anger inside. |
C.Expressing anger violently is more harmful than repressing it. |
D.Anger may cause you a cancer. |
E.Do not express your anger while angry. |
F.Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. |
G.Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger. |
2 . I really love this saying, “Love is endless and unlimited.” For me, there’s a story behind it. When I used to hand out chocolates with beautiful paper bags, my friends always told me, “You are wasting time and money. No one here believes in nameless gifts.” To be honest, I have noticed that people here do donate (捐赠)in temples. They give food to the poor, and provide clothes and other things for whoever is in need.
I think maybe I am the one who starts to think of the dogs in our neighborhood. When I moved into this new community, I noticed that there were two street dogs. They were wounded and homeless, and everyone used to stay away from them and hit them when they came any closer. They were becoming thinner and thinner and they would did of hunger sooner or later.
But my habit of loving dogs has changed all these things. I began to walk close to them and give them food regularly. When I touched their heads and gave love to them, I could see tears in their eyes. My friends noticed, and now even kids and elders in the community provide them with food and also love them. I am really glad to see that I saved their lives.
What I started will lead to beautiful memories with them. They enjoy playing with me and they even have a particular pose when they see me. I see a sparkle in their eyes and a smile on their faces. They are priceless for me.

4 . My husband and I had tried for many years to have children, but it just never happened. So we applied to be foster parents(养父母). We decided we should start with an older child for a number of reasons. Since we both worked, child care might be a problem. Our dog Corby might be a bit too energetic for a young child.
This wasn't what we had discussed a few weeks before.
The day was set for Kaleb to arrive. We went outside to greet our little guest. But before we could even reach the child, I heard a noise from behind me.
Corby reached Kaleb before either of us could grab her. She hounded up to the boy and immediately began licking his face with joy.
Kaleb came to stay those few months.
A.Privately, I was full of doubts. |
B.There were so many difficulties, |
C.Eight and a half years later, he is still with us. |
D.Turning, I saw Corby heading straight for the little boy. |
E.In our hurry, we must not have closed the door completely. |
F.And honestly,we were a little nervous about taking on a baby. |
G.In response, this little boy threw his arms around the dog’s neck and turned toward us. |
5 . When you're a teen you start being more aware of what other people think. There seems to be a “right” thing to wear, or say, or do. There also seem to be things that you shouldn’t do-things that could be embarrassing, or lose your points with friends. This can lead to social anxiety.
Some kids feel so anxious that they develop something called social anxiety disorder (障碍), which is diagnosed (诊断) when you worry so much about how you appear to others that you stop doing things you need to and want to do for fear of embarrassing yourself.
Kids with social anxiety disorder aren't just nervous when they’re at parties or giving a speech in class. Even small interactions (互动), like answering a question in class or eating with friends in the cafeteria can feel extremely scary to kids with social anxiety disorder. That's because they fear they might accidentally do something embarrassing or offensive, and it will make others judge or even reject them.
And while kids who are just shy will gradually warm up to new people and situations over time, kids with social anxiety don't. Shyness might hold you back to some degree from doing things, but it won't deeply influence your ability to do your job as a teenager, which is to function in school, function in your family, and to have friends and be a part of your peer-related community. But social anxiety will.
Many teens experience anxiety disorders. Being brave and telling someone how you feel might seem scary, but if you can get over that obstacle, someone will want to listen. Asking for help can be hard, but it really is important.
1. What is the main cause of social anxiety?A.Lack of friendship. | B.One's appearance. |
C.School performance. | D.Other’s judgment. |
A.Alice, who skips school to avoid answering questions in class. |
B.David, who always thinks he can't do as well as his classmates. |
C.Chris, who feels nervous every time he gives a speech in public. |
D.Jenny, who has been in low spirits since she failed the last exam. |
A.it influences people around you |
B.it only makes your grades suffer |
C.it greatly affects your normal life |
D.it is related to your study or work |
A.What Is Social Anxiety Disorder |
B.How Social Fear Ruins Relationships |
C.Why Teens Suffer from Social Anxiety? |

6 . Over the last few years, there’s been a trend to focus on gratitude. We can buy different kinds of gratitude journals, or download apps that remind us to write down our blessings.
Noting down gratitude seems to pay off. Studies have found that giving thanks can help people sleep better, lower stress and improve interpersonal relationships. Keeping a gratitude journal can decrease materialism and enhance generosity among adolescents.
During really tough times, like when she suffers from poor health, Santos feels like she is reaching for reasons to be grateful. But she still tries to find some. “I’m grateful for the sun that’s shining or being able to wake up,” she says.
A.And it isn’t a cure-all. |
B.So it doesn’t feel pleasant. |
C.Those products remind us to take time to be grateful. |
D.What works for some people may not work for others. |
E.Gratitude allows her to remember what is going well. |
F.Practicing too much gratitude may have undesired effects. |
G.That's why gratitude features heavily in Santos' happiness class. |
