Its what we do when were angry that matters. Anger is a tool that helps us to read and respond to the social situations that bother us. But how can we keep it under control?Its normal to think that getting angry is bad and many times we punish ourselves for doing so. But contrary to popular belief, research indicates that anger increases optimism, creativity and efficiency (效率). In addition, studies suggest that anger can lead to more successful negotiations at work, as well as in our personal lives.In fact, suppressing (抑制) anger can be very bad for your health. In this sense, Dr. Ernest Harburg performed a study by monitoring a group of adults and their capacity (最大容量) for anger. What he found is that the men and women who suppressed their anger as a response to an unfair attack had a higher risk of developing bronchitis (支气管炎) or suffering from heart attacks, and were more likely to die before their colleagues who let their anger surface (显现) when they felt bothered.When anger arises, we feel the need to either prevent or put an end to this powerful feeling for the benefit of our welfare or the welfare of those we care about. But this act of kindness, mercy, love or justice isnt beneficial in this way. However, its certainly a good thing to be cautious when anger begins to surface. Expressing your anger can be appropriate with certain people at certain times. The question lies in how to do it without losing control. The key to expressing your anger is finding the appropriate tone for expressing what it is that upsets you. But to avoid unnecessary shouting, hitting, or other violent reactions, its worth taking a moment to step back and think, even though we may be in the middle of an argument with someone.32. What do people generally think of anger?A. It is an important tool.B. It is a bad feeling state.C. It increases our happiness.D. It helps in social situations.33. What does Dr. Ernest Harburgs study imply about anger?A. It needs a way out.B. It should be avoided.C. It can cause sudden death.D. It must be kept under control.34. What does the author suggest we do when were angry?A. Find out its cause.B. Pretend to ignore it.C. React to it violently.D. Express it reasonably.35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Ways to Control Anger.B. Benefits of Mild Anger.C. Showing Anger Fitly Counts.D. Anger Does Affect Health.【答案】32. B 33. A 34. D 35.

Today, Chinese, Indians, Arabs, Africans, Anglos, and Hispanics may all work in the same offices, attend the same schools or live in the same neighborhoods. _36_ And our society has lately emphasized（强调）the importance of diversity._37_Take the following old proverbs for example.“Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom.” Thomas Jefferson, American President“One falsehood spoils a thousand truths.” African proverb“Be honest to those who are honest, and be also to those who are not honest.” Lao Tzu, Chinese philosopher“A sacrifice is written off by a lie and the merit of devotion by an act of cheat.” Hindu saying_38_ These seems to be a sort of cultural unity.We dont wish to imply all cultures are the same. Cultural diversity is real, and people from different cultures view many situations in different ways. However, historically, different cultures seem to share many common values. They are justice, courage, patience, generosity, equality, mercy and kindness, respect for the elders, and many more. Lying and stealing appear to be wrong no matter where you go. Perhaps some cultures make room for extenuating（情有可原）circumstances more than others; perhaps cultures apply these virtues in different ways; and when values disagree, different cultures may place different levels of importance on them. _39_ But both cultures may still value both.To us, it seems as if there is some sort of code of right and wrong that everyone everywhere seems to understand, regardless of culture. It is almost as if, b
