期中题型专练-阅读理解- 2023-2024学年 八年级英语下册 仁爱版 Rick was a young boy who was angry at everything around him. To calm Rick down, his mom came home with a canvas (画布) and paint.“Whenever you feel bad about something, paint it instead of getting angry.” Though not that happy, Rick gave it a try. After creating many paintings, he took his artwork to his mom. “Tell me, Rick. What are these paintings about?” “The first is about how some kids show off their new clothes. The next is about my teacher who always tells me about how I’m doing things wrong. And the last painting is about how one of my schoolmates said I should change my attitude (态度). They all make me so angry.” Rick’s mom took Rick by her side and told him, “Don’t you see, Rick? You’re getting so angry but you never try to understand why.” Then she explained carefully, “All the people you were angry at did nothing wrong. The kids were shoving off their good clothes but never laughed at you for being poor. Your teacher scolded you but that was because you caused trouble in class. And your schoolmate was only trying to help you correct your mistakes.” “Next time you get angry, take a deep breath and walk away for a couple of seconds.
