They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possible cancer. Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Some burst with anger, scream and yell. But other people keep their anger inside. They cannot or will not express it. For years many doctors thought that it was more dangerous for people to repress their anger than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases the same chemical. 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 can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger violently 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. 61．How will anger affect people if they don’t deal with it properly?

He believes bus drivers are the eyes and ears of students when they're away from home and they have a gift to discern what kids are feeling. During one morning ride, Cruse noticed a kindergartner seemed a little sad. When Cruse asked him what was wrong, the boy explained that he wasn't able to complete his reading assignment because his parents were busy with his four siblings (兄弟姐妹). An idea suddenly crossed Cruse's mind. “Listen, if you don't mind, I'd like to come to the school and read with you. ”he said. After receiving permission from the boy's teacher, Alex Bakley, Cruse showed up at her classroom the following week. When he walked in, the boy shouted proudly, “Hey, that's my bus driver!”They went into a quiet corner and began reading together. Later, a second student wanted to read with him, then a third. All the kids went to the teacher asking, “Can I read with Mr. Herman?” Cruse now volunteers to help kindergarten students with reading two days a week, and on a third day, he instructs the school's first-and second-graders. After dropping the kids off at school, of course. Every child looks up to Cruse, both on and off the school bus. “Herman is super positive and he's a bright light at our school who makes every child feel loved and heard. ”said Bakley. For Cruse, what started out as a way to kill time has now developed into a way to make a difference in the heart of a child. He used to go to the gym or library after delivering students to schools. It wasn't until he offered to help the boy on the bus that he realized there was something more rewarding he could be doing. It's a joy for him to see the kids get excited when they learn to sound out words. He loves how reading opens up a new world for them. 46．What does the underlined word mean in Paragraph 1?

Sydney fought against it, but the cancer did not respond to the treatment, and could not be removed. Sydney died at the age of 11. After her death, I felt sad and discouraged. I decided to turn these negative emotions into positive actions. When I was 15 years old, I founded the Pink Polka Dots Guild (PPD) with two friends. My goal is to raise enough money to find a cure for brain cancer, which is the second most common cancer in children. Over the years, PPD had held fundraisers (募捐活动) across the city. The first Pink Polka Dots Guild event, a garage sale, just raised $900, but our latest fundraiser, the 2012 golf tournament, brought in over $73, 000. In the past five years, we have raised almost a million dollars to help do a research on removing brain cancer. I’ve been shocked by the public recognition that PPD has earned. It received an award from President. This great honour raised awareness and money for our cause. The efforts that we have made has truly helped cancer research. PPD has provided start-up funding for scientific discoveries, such as “Tumor Paint”, which illuminates (照射) cancerous cells so that doctors can remove them with amazing accuracy. The discovery appeared in Time Magazine. I was very proud to have helped fund the research of this life-saving technology. Pink Polka Dots has inspired me to be an activist. My experience has taught me that with devotion, it is possible to make a difference in the world.

He was very thin, and looked and smelled near death. I thought the man who had him should be punished for treating an animal in such a cruel way until we were told about the story of Lucky, a black-and-white Boston Terrier with a funny face and big sad eyes. Lucky had been owned by a man called Fred, who had a mental disorder and took medicine every day. This medicine made him sleep quite deeply, so Fred only took it at bedtime. Lucky slept by his side. One night, Fred took his medicine, went to bed and fell sound asleep. The house wiring shorted and set the house on fire. Being under the medicine’s power, Fred just kept sleeping. Lucky barked and barked, but Fred couldn’t hear him. When Lucky realized Fred wasn’t waking up, he jumped into the middle of his chest and started licking his face. Fred finally woke up and realized the house was on fire. He crawled out of the bedroom window. It took Fred a minute to realize he had left his dog behind. He reached through the window and grabbed Lucky, pulling him to safety. After the fire, Fred had to move into an apartment, where he couldn’t keep animals. So he had to give Lucky to a friend of his, asking him to find a good home for Lucky. My son and I saw an ad in the paper putting Lucky up for adoption and we eventually adopted Lucky. Lucky inhaled so much smoke that night that his bar k will never be normal again. He sounds like he has a throat full of pea gravel（豆砾石） but he has the spirit of a lion.

Ten years ago, she and her family moved to a new home in Austin, Texas. One day, Kristin tried to connect with her new neighbors by hosting a party. She bought a few picnic tables but the delivery driver set one table down in her front yard by mistake. “After the party, I painted the table turquoise — my favorite color — and put it in the front yard, just a few feet from the sidewalk,” she says. That turquoise table became the place where Kristin and her kids hung out. They played games, did crafts and ate snacks. Neighbors began to stop by to introduce themselves and sit down for a chat. Kristin invited people to join her at the table for coffee or iced tea. Then neighbors asked Kristin if their family could put a picnic table in their front yard too. A movement was born. “It was a simple way to slow down and connect with others,” she says. The turquoise table was inviting and had a shared feel. People often hesitate to invite others into their homes. They think their house is too messy, it’s not big enough or they don’t have enough time. “Our perfectionism can cause us to miss out on the joy of connecting with others,” Kristin says. Her picnic table takes away the excuses — and the pressure. She likes how it enables her to take a small step toward easing loneliness and building relationships in her community. “People’s greatest need is to know that they are loved and that they belong,” she says. A decade after their Texas beginnings, thousands of Turquoise Tables exist in all 50 states and in 13 countries around the world. Not all of them are actually turquoise. “No matter what color it is, it’s a friendship table,” Kristin says. 66.
