Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer(癌症).

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 and scream and yell. But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing anger.

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 gives out the same hormones (荷尔蒙).They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etc．In general, the person feels excited and ready to act.

Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger violently can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger violently (猛烈地)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.”

Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. They said that laughter is much healthier than anger.

       A. the emotion is harmless                B. the emotion is harmful

阅读下列文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳答案。

Early one morning, more than a hundred years ago, an American inventor called Elias Howe finally fell asleep. He had been working all night on the design of a sewing machine but he had run into a very difficult problem: it seemed impossible to get the thread to run smoothly around the needle.

    Though he was tired, Howe slept badly. He turned and turned. Then he had a dream. He dreamt that he had been caught by terrible savages whose king wanted to kill him unless he could build a perfect sewing machine. When he tried to do so, Howe ran into the same problem as before. The thread kept getting caught around the needle. The king flew into the rage and ordered his soldiers to kill Howe. They came up towards him with their spears raised.

    But suddenly the inventor noticed something. There was a hole in the tip of each spear. The inventor woke up from the dream, realizing he had just found the answer to the problem. Instead of trying to get the thread to run around the needle, he should make it run through a small hole in the renter of the needle. This was the simple idea that finally made Howe design and built the first really practical sewing machine. Elias Howe was nut the only one in finding the answers to his problem in this way.

    Thomas Edison, the inventor of the electric light, said his best ideas came into him in dreams. So did the great physicist Albert Einstein. Charlotte Bronte also drew in her dreams in writing Jane Eyre.

    To know the value of dreams, you have to understand what happens when you are asleep. Even then a part of your mind is still working. The unconscious (无意识) , but still active part understands your experiences and goes to work on the problem you have had during the day. It stores all information that you may have forgotten or never have really noticed. It is only when you are asleep that this part of the brain can send messages to the part you use when you are awake. However, the unconscious part acts in a special way. It uses strange images (图像) which the conscious part may not understand at first. This is why dreams are sometimes called “secret messages to ourselves”.

1．According to the passage, Elias Howe was ________.

    A. the first person we know of who solved problems in his sleep

    B. much more hard-working than other inventors

    C. the first person to design a sewing machine that really worked

    D. the only person at the time who knew the value of dreams

2．The problem Howe was trying to solve was ________.

    A. what kind of thread to use

    B. how to design a needle which would not break

    C. where to put the needle

    D. how to prevent the thread from getting caught around the needle

3．Dreams are sometimes called “secret messages to ourselves” because ________.

    A. strange images are used to communicate ideas

    B. images which have no meaning are used

    C. we can never understand the real meaning

    D. only special trained people can understand them

4．From the passage we know that ________.

    A. when we sleep, our mind is sleeping too

    B. when we sleep, not all our mind is sleeping

    C. all great inventors once got their ideas in their dreams

D. if we run into a problem in the day. we'll always have a strange dream at night
