n Make a list.    Write down all the reasons why you want to stop a certain behavior----how it’s hurting you and why getting rid of it will help. Look at that list regularly.

n Give yourself a reward.  Before you get rid of a bad habit, decide what you’ll do to celebrate it if you achieve your goal.

Anger(生气) 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 your friend borrows your favourite thing and then 1.b      it, you may get really angry.

　　Usually, your body will tell you when you are angry. For example, you breathe much faster, your2.f    turns red and you may want to break something or hit someone, but sometimes, you try to hide your anger. For example, you may hide it in your head. The problem is that if you do this, you may get a 3.h     or your stomach may hurt.

　　In fact, it's not 4.g     to hide your anger, and it's normal for you to get angry sometimes. But anger must be let out in the right 5.w    , without hurting others or yourself. Let me give you some advice.

　　When you get angry, you can talk about it with6.o     people. It's 7.h    to talk about your anger with other people, such as parents, teachers, good friends etc. When you talk about anger, those 8.b      feelings can start to go away. On the other hand, when you start to feel angry, you can do some other9.t     : count from 1 to 100, go for a bike ride, think about good things, and so on.

In a word, don't let your anger10.c    you. Remember that how you act when you are angry can make everything better or worse.

There was once a young mouse that lived in a hole in a wall. One day, the young mouse woke up from his sleep and looked out of the hole. As he looked out, a fantastic smell came to his nose. “Cheese!” the mouse said happily to himself. “I’ll go and get it now and have it for breakfast.”

But then he remembered his parents’ words. His parents were very clever mice and often said to their son, “Always wait before you go for a piece of cheese.”

So the young mouse waited quietly. Then he heard a quiet “Miaow” and he knew the cat was there. He stayed in the hole and said to himself, “I’m glad I listened to my parents and learned to wait.”

The next day, he looked out again. He put his nose out of the hole, and the beautiful smell of cheese came to his nose again. He could see the cheese. It was only a few centimetres away. But he sat still and waited quietly. This time he did not hear any cat’s noise. Instead he heard a very quiet “Woof, woof.”

“It’s a dog!” he thought. “If the dog is there, the cat won’t be there. I expect the dog has chased the cat away, so I’m safe.” The mouse ran out of the hole and started eating the cheese. He did not see the cat, which caught him and ate him.
