obviously, my grade was awful. heartbroken but fearless, i decided to turn this around. i talked to miss lancelot, but she insisted: no re-dos; no new grade. i felt that the punishment was not justified, and i believed i deserved a second chance. consequently, i threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. ten months later, that chance unfolded as i found myself sitting in the headmasters office with my grandfather, now having an entirely different conversation. i smiled and flashed back to the embarrassing moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster informed me of my option to skip the sixth grade. justice is sweet!56. what did the authors classmates think about his report?

arich and generous binfluential and warmhearted cenergetic and optimistic dpopular and confident cdoctors say anger can be an very harmful emotion(情绪)unless you learn how to deal with it. they warn that angry feelings can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer. anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. some people express anger openly in a reasonable way. others burst with anger, losing control of themselves. but still other people keep down their anger. they cannot or will not express it. for years many doctors thought that repressing(压抑) anger was more dangerous to a persons health than expressing it. they said that when a person is angry, the brain gives off the same hormones（激素）that are produced during tense situations. they speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or put sugar into the blood and narrow the blood vessels(脉管). in general, the person feels excited and ready to act. doctors said that repressing these feelings only makes the feelings continue. and this can lead to many medical problems. doctors thought a person could prevent these problems by letting the anger out. but recently some doctors held a different view. they said that people who express anger repeatedly and violently did become, in fact, more and not less angry. they said this, too, can cause medical problems. some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger unreasonably can be dangerous. they believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease, and those who keep their anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure.doctors say the way to solve the problem is learning how to deal with anger. they say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to find the real cause of the anger, and then decide if the cause is serious. if it is, they say: “do not express your anger while angry. wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably. ”64. what does the phrase “repress anger” mean? a. forget ones anger. b. express ones anger openly. c. keep ones anger inside. d. treat ones anger calmly and reasonably65. when you get angry, which of the following should you do for the good of health？ a. repressing the anger. b. expressing the anger. c. learning how to make a deal. d. treating the anger properly. 66. doctors have different views towards _. a. how to deal with anger b. how anger happens c. anger-caused health problems d. how people express anger 67. what is the central topic of this passage about？ a. the different ways of dealing with anger. b. the dangers of anger and the solutions. c. some new medical discoveries. d. the argument between the new and old views about anger. dbeauty has always been regarded as something admirablealmost everyone thinks that attractive people are happier and healthier; they have better marriages and have more respectable jobspersonal consultants（顾问）give them better advice for finding jobseven judges are softer on attractive personsbut in the executive circle, beauty can become a liability while attractiveness is a positive thing for a mans rise, it is harmful to a womanshandsome male executives （主管）were considered as having more honesty than plainer men; effort and ability were thought to be the reasons for their successattractive female executives were considered to have less honesty than unattractive ones; their success was attributed not to ability but to factors such as luckall unattractive women executives were thought to have more honesty and to be more capable than the attractive female executives why are attractive women not thought to be able?
