Anger is a kind of feeling. Many things can make you angry. When your teacher gives you too much homework, when your team loses an important game, when a friend borrows your favorite thing and then breaks it, you may get really angry.

Usually, your body will tell you when you are angry. For example, you breathe faster, your face turns red, and you may want to break

something or hit(打) someone, but sometimes, you hide(隐藏) your anger. For example, you may hide it in your heart. The problem is that if you do this, you may get a headache or your stomach may hurt.

In fact, it's not good to hide your anger, and it's normal for you to get angry sometimes. But anger must be let out in the right way, without hurting others or yourself.

When you get angry, you can talk about it with other people. It's

helpful to talk about your anger with an adult, such as parents, a teacher, etc. When you talk about anger, those bad feelings can start to go away. Here are some other things you can do when you start to feel angry: talk to a good friend; count from 1 to 100; give someone a hug(拥抱); go for a bike ride; think about good things, etc.

Remember that how you act when you are angry can make everything better or worse. Don't let your anger control you. 31. You may not get angry when ____.

A. there is too much homework on this weekend B. your favorite basketball team wins the game C. a friend breaks your favorite thing D. your parents don't let you watch TV 32. ____ shows that you're not angry.

4

A. Taking a faster breath B. Getting a headache

C. Getting a stomachache D. Wanting to protect someone

33. According to the passage, you can do everything when you get angry

except(除了) ____. A. go for a bike ride B. think about good things C. talk to a good friend D. say bad things to the people around you

34. The underlined word \"control\" in the last paragraph means ____ in

Chinese.

A. 控制 B. 连接 C. 帮助 D. 失去 35. This passage is mainly about ____.

A. anger B. excitement C. happiness D. sadness 三、首字母填空10分

Waste（浪费） can bring a lot of problems. Although China is rich in some resources (资源), we are short of others, for example, fresh water. It is reported that we will have no coal or oil to use in 100 years. So if we go on wasting our resources, what can we use in the future and where can we move? Think about it. (3) I think we should say no to the students who waste things every day. Everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible. In our everyday life, we can do many things to prevent (阻止) waste from happening, for example, turn off the water taps when we finish

washing, turn off the lights when we leave the classroom, try not to order more food than we need, and so on. Little by little, everything will be changed. （4）Waste can be stopped one day, if we do our best. 任务1：根据要求答题。
