I watched as my little brother was cahught in the act. He sat in the corner of the living room, a   21   in one hand and my father’s hymnbook(赞美诗集) in the other. Hearing my father coming, my brother  22    it slightly. He sensed that he had done something   23  . I saw  he had  24    my father’s new book and scribbled（乱写）on the first page in pen. Now,  25    at my father fearfully, we  26    waited for his punishment.My father    27   his book, looked at it, and then sat down without saying a word． He was a clergyman and the holder of several degrees. For him, books were knowledge, and yet, he    28   his children.Instead of  29  my brother, he sat down,   30   the pen from my brother’s hand and wrote in the book himself, “John’s work. 1959. aged three.”

The years and the books came and went. Our family   31  what all families go through. We   32  knew our parents loved us and that one   33  was the book by the piano. From time to time we   34  open it, look at the scribbles, read my father’s expression of love and feel   35  .

Now I know that through this   36  act my father taught us how every   37  in life has a positive side-if we are   38  to look at it from another angle. But he also taught us about what really matters in life:   39  ,not objects; tolerance, not judgment; love, no anger. Love is at the very   40  of a family.

When thinking about these, I smile and whisper, “Thank you, Dad. ”

On Anger 

Doctors say anger can be an extremely harmful emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that angry feelings can lead to heart disease, stomach problem, 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 calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger, losing control of themselves. But other people repress their anger. They cannot or will not express it.

For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person’s health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases the same hormones (激素) that are produced during tense situations. They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood and narrow the blood vessels to the interstices (空隙). 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 by expressing it freely. 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 can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger strongly may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep their anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure.

Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger. They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious, enough to get angry about. 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.”
