It is bad for your health to get angry in life, but how can you control your anger?【1】

Change what you expect.

If you expect too much and can’t get it, you will be disappointed.【2】and you are less likely to become angry.

Think of the other person

Try and understand his or her positions. Why are they behaving like that? How would you feel if you were in their shoes? Can you agree to their reasons for being angry? Once you see things from their point of view, your anger may be replaced by concern（关心）.

【3】

When you get angry, take a deep breath and stop the thoughts that are making you angry. Think of something happy instead, something you like and enjoy. Your anger will gradually become less.

Surround yourself with positive people.

The more people around you show that they are calm and happy, the calmer and happier you become too.

Imagine doing something terrible to the person who is annoying you and change your anger into your imaginations. Then you are free to act calmly and reasonably on the surface.

A.Read books about controlling anger.

B.Use your imagination, not your voice.

D.Think of something positive.

E.Here are some ways to deal with.

24、

Do you want to become better at making small talk with new people? Do you want to become better at networking with others? Nothing will improve your networking ability and your ability to make a successful conversation with other people rather than your curiosity about them.

When you are curious about other people, you will want to discover some of the interesting ways that they are similar to you. When you are curious about them, you’ll also be interested to discover the ways in which they think differently and live differently from you.

When you have curiosity about others, you will be much less self-conscious and your conversations will work a lot better. Instead of worrying yourself, “What can I say next that won’t sound stupid?” you will be focused on learning more about the other person. 

Making small talk with strangers can be tricky. We’ve all heard the advice that we should pick something out of our immediate environment and use that as a main point to start our small talk with the other person.

It’s true that this can be a great starting point for a conversation. However, when you focus too much on discussing things like the weather in your city, you can bring the conversation to a painful end very quickly. The other person will sense that you are trying to make a conversation, but that you have no interest in really getting to know him or her.

How can you keep small talk from becoming boring?

One way is to watch the other person for clues they will give you about what is really interesting to them. When you get these clues, use them to start making the conversation a bit more about their life, their opinions, and their experiences.

After you have had a couple of minutes to break the ice, try looking for ways to make the conversation a little bit more personal. Ask the other person for his or her opinion about something that is a bit more personal but not extremely so. The first few minutes of talking to someone new will not be the best time to ask the other person his or her opinion on religious （宗教的） or political（政治的） matters. However, he or she might be happy to discuss his or her favorite team or musical band.

【1】In Paragraph 1, the writer mainly wants to tell us that___________.

A.it’s hard to make a talk with new people

B.curiosity can help us start a good small talk

C.curiosity helps us know new people quickly

D.it’s hard to make a successful talk with others

【2】The underlined word “self-conscious” in Paragraph 3 probably means___________.

A.nervous B.serious C.self-centered D.self-controlled

【3】What is the best title for the passage?

A.The way of starting small talk.

B.The importance of small talk in our life.

C.Improving our small talk with curiosity.

D.Improving our relationship through small talk.

25、   Every month, Julia and her cousins would go for the big family meal at their grandparents’ house. They would always wait excitedly for the moment their grandfather would give them a few coins. Then all the children would buy sweets. The grandparents, aunts, uncles, and parents realized that, behaving like this, the children would never learn to manage their money. So they proposed a special test, the children would have to show what they could manage to get with those few coins over the course of a year.

Some of the children thought that they would save their money, but Ruben and Nico, the two smallest kids, paid no attention, and they continued spending it all on sweets. Every time, they would show off their sweets in front of the other children, laughing and making fun of their cousins. They made Clara and Joe so angry that these two could no longer stand to keep saving their money. They joined Ruben and Nico in spending whatever they had on sweets.

Monty was a clever boy, and he decided to start managing his money by exchanging it: buying and selling things, or betting it with other children in card games. Soon he had surprised the whole family. He had saved a lot of money for little hard work. The way he was going, he would end up almost a rich man. However, Monty was not being very careful, and he hadn't a single coin left, after putting a losing bet on a horse race.

Poor Julia had a wonderful secret plan. When she was to complete the second year of her plan, Julia surprised everyone with a violin and a lot of money. They were hearing her play. She did it really well. Everyone knew that Julia loved the violin, even though the family couldn't afford to pay for her to have lessons. So Julia had got to know a poor violinist who played in the park, and she offered him all the coins her grandfather had given her if he taught her how to play. Although it wasn't much money, on seeing Julia’s excitement, the violinist agreed, and he taught her happily for months. Julia showed so much interest that after a year, the violinist lent her a violin, so they could play together in the park. They were so successful that gradually she got her own violin.

From then on, the whole family helped her, and she became a very famous violinist. And she would always tell people how it was possible, with just a few coins well spent, to make your wildest dreams a reality.

【1】Why did the children feel excited when they visited their grandparents?

A.Because they could have a big meal. B.Because they could get some coins.

26、   “It’s good to talk,” some people say. I take a bus in London, there are certainly plenty of people talking on their mobile phones, sometimes too loudly, discussing and sharing personal information with a friend. 

Many of us meet strangers every day no matter where we are. Some scientists studied this silent relationship and wondered if staying alone is a more positive（积极的）experience than communicating with strangers. They found that many people felt uncomfortable and ashamed talking to others and they said that many people just couldn’t understand how much a new person liked them when they started a conversation.

Their research showed that people who actually tried to talk to a stranger found the people sitting next to them was happy to chat with them. From this, this conclusion（结论）is that connecting with strangers is surprisingly pleasant and it has a good influence on our health. People are in a better mood after they have a conversation. It’s true that talking can make us feel happier and happiness can lead to   better mental health.

However, if we’re shy, the thought of speaking to strangers might make us anxious. But an American research found that all people were happier when they were asked to behave in a brave manner. So maybe, if we’re alone, it’s time to go out of our house and make some small talks with a stranger — it could be the beginning of a new friendship.

【1】What does the underlined word “ashamed” in Paragraph 2 probably mean in Chinese?

A.孤独的 B.喜悦的 C.自信的 D.尴尬的

B.by winning a new friendship.

C.By putting us in a good mood.

D.By helping us talking loudly in public.

【4】According to the American research, speaking to strangers bravely will make us ________.

A.nervous B.shy C.anxious D.happy

【5】What can help start a new friendship?

A.Going out and making a small talk with a stranger.

28、Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words（在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺，每空格限填一词，首字母已给):

In the past few decades, a large number of new electronic devices have appeared: MP3 players, camcorders, e-book readers, and so on. Will the future bring new gadgets (小玩意)? Perhaps, but many experts believed that the number of gadgets will actually d  【1】  as people do more and more things with just one device: the smart phone.

This c  【2】  has already happened in Tokyo. There, mobile phones are making travelling much easier and f 【3】. Imagine you are waiting at a Tokyo bus stop. If you use the camera on your smart phone to take a photo of a special icon (图标) on the bus stop, the timetable appears on your s  【4】  . When the bus arrives, you use the same phone to pay for your ride.

At airports, it’s even more useful. You don’t need a t  【5】  or a boarding pass - with just your phone, you can be on your plane only 15 minutes after arriving at the airport. And at hotels, the phone allows you to pay for the room w  【6】  using a credit card or money. It even opens your hotel room door!

The phone a 【7】  helps you find the way when you’re on foot. If you hold it in your hand, it tells you which way to go. This is especially useful in Tokyo, where it’s so easy to get lost!
