Many countries such as Iraq, Uganda, Guatemala, and many others have been known to abduct（诱拐）children and force them to serve in the army. The reason is that the enemy isn’t likely to suspect children as a real threat. Many non-government organizations are also known to abduct and force children into being child soldiers. Below we have some quotes from former child soldiers.
“The army was a nightmare. We suffered greatly from the cruel treatment we received. We were often beaten, mostly for no reason at all, just to keep us in a state of terror. I still have a scar on my lip and sharp pains in my stomach from being violently kicked by the older soldiers. The food was not enough, and they made us walk with heavy loads, much too heavy for our small bodies. They forced me to learn how to fight the enemy.”
——Emilio, 14
They gave me pills that made me crazy. When the craziness got in my head, I beat people on their heads and hurt them until they bled. When the craziness got out of my head, I felt guilty. If I remembered the person, I went to them and apologized. If they did not accept my apology, I felt bad.
——Michael, 13
As seen in the quotes, the army is not very friendly toward children. Forced to act like adults, kill like adults, and carry an adult’s load, these children sometimes die from exhaustion（筋疲力尽）. Below are some facts about child soldiers.
Today, as many as 300,000 children under the age of 18 serve in government forces or armed rebel groups. Some are as young as eight years old. Children are most likely to become child soldiers if they have no money to buy food and clothes. Many children join armed groups because of economic or social pressure, or because children believe that the group will offer food or safety. Child soldiers are used all over the world. Here is a list of where child soldiers are used.
59.Many countries force children to serve in the army because__________.
A.children are brave and strong
B.the enemy doesn’t consider children as a threat
C.there aren’t enough adults to join the army

Anger is good for you, as long as you control it, according to new psychology research. A new study from Carnegie Mellon University shows anger may help people reduce the negative impacts of stress and help you become healthier.
“Here getting emotional is not bad for you if you look at the case of anger,” said Jennifer Lerner of Carnegie Mellon. “The more people display anger, the lower their stress responses.”
Lerner studied 92 UCLA students by asking them to count back from 6,200. They must say out loud every thirteenth number. Researchers disturbed them by asking them to count faster or ask them other questions. If they made any mistakes, they had to restart from the very beginning. Many students felt depressed about making so many mistakes or got angry.
Lerner used a hidden video camera and recorded all their facial expressions during the test. The researchers describe their reactions as fear, anger and disgust.
Other researchers recorded the students’ blood pressure, pulse and production of a high-stress hormone（荷尔蒙）called cortisol. People whose faces showed more fear during the experiment had higher blood pressure and higher levels of the hormone. Both can have lasting effects such as diabetes（糖尿病）, heart disease, depression and extra weight gain.
When people feel fear, negative impacts increase, but when they get angry, those negatives go down, according to the study.
“Having that sense of anger leads people to actually feel some power in what otherwise is a maddening（令人发狂的）situation,” Lerner said.
Lerner previously studied Americans’ emotional response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks two months after the incident. She found people who reacted with anger were more optimistic. These people are healthier compared with those who were frightened during the event. So in maddening situations, anger is not a bad thing to have. It’s a healthier response than fear.
1. What is the story mainly about?
|
A．The findings of new psychology research. |
|
B．What you can do with anger in certain cases. |
|
C．Different effects produced by anger and fear. |
|
D．Healthier responses in maddening situations. |
2.Which statement will Jennifer Lerner agree with?
|
A．It’s better to be angry than to be frightened. |
|
B．Different reactions reflect different outlooks on life. |
|
C．Don’t control your anger and it makes you powerful. |
|
D．Pessimistic people are generally healthier than optimistic people. |
3.What does the underlined word “both” refer to according to the passage?
|
A．Fear and anger. |
B．Blood pressure and pulse. |
|
C．Blood pressure and cortiso1. |
|
|
D．Higher blood pressure and higher levels of the hormone. |
4. In what ways can anger be beneficial to people?
|
A．By showing their optimistic side. |
B．By reducing their stress. |
|
C．By reducing high blood pressure. |
D．By taking the place of fear. |
5.The researchers irritated（激怒）the students by __________.
|
A．recording their performance secretly |
|
B．asking them to count to 6, 200 again and again |
|
C．disturbing them and making them start all over again |
|
D．criticizing them when they made mistakes |
