Anger isn’t a good feeling. Anger may make us feel uncomfortable, but it’s seen everywhere. Unluckily, many of us have been used to keeping our feelings hidden. Research suggests that this can have long-term bad influences on your health.
Is it better to cry or break things whenever something makes us angry? The research points out that when we show our anger in this way, we probably can’t get on well with our friends and our family. The longer we stay angry, the worse the result will be. So how can we deal with our angry feelings in a right way?
First, know what makes us angry. Anger is often caused by feelings such as fear, disappointment and so on.
Also, care more about those everyday things that will make us angry. For example, we may get angry in the long lines at the store. Take a step back and think that it isn’t personal. Everyone in the line has dinner to make, just like us. One way to deal with anger is to talk about it. The study has shown that if we name our feelings, we can slowly calm ourselves down and feel better.
Take some deep breaths or find some helpful exercise to do. Exercise helps with feelings of anger.
If we learn to deal with anger, we will be happier and healthier.
5. How does the writer lead into the topic in Paragraph 2?
A. By telling a story. B. By giving an example.

C. It is harmful for our health to keep anger hidden. D. It’s better to break things when we are angry.

A. B. C. D.
8. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. What makes you angry? B. Why are you angry?
C. When to deal with anger D. How to deal with anger

What do young people like to do in their free time? If you think they are all playing video games or watching short videos on their phones, you might be wrong. In 2026, many young people are turning to something quite different—“grandma hobbies.”
“Grandma hobbies” is a fun name for traditional activities like needlepoint (刺绣) and gardening. These are things that people’s grandmothers used to enjoy. But now, Gen Z (people born after 1997) are falling in love with them.
Emma MacTaggart, 26, from the US, is a good example. She used to work long hours in banking. After work, she would just look through her phone for hours— a habit called “getting lost in her phone.” To change this, she and her roommates decided to try needlepoint. Soon, they became “fully engrossed.” Emma said it was so relaxing that they spent almost all their free time making needlepoint works instead of looking at a screen.
These old hobbies help young people reduce stress and feel relaxed. When they finish a gift or a dish, they feel proud and successful. Social media helps them become more popular. Young people share their works online and make friends. Some even turn their hobbies into businesses. Take Anna Weaver as an example, a 31-year-old blacksmith— people now wait a year for her handmade products.
So next time you see a young person blacksmithing, don’t be surprised. It’s the newest cool thing to do!
9. What are “grandma hobbies” according to the passage?
A. Modern mobile phone apps. B. Old-fashioned video games.
C. Traditional enjoyable activities. D. Business plans for old people.
10. Why did Emma MacTaggart start needlepoint?
A. To make more money. B. To change her lifestyle.
C. To pass the time with friends. D. To get help from others.
11. What does the underlined word “engrossed” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. crazy B. bored C. tired D. angry
12. What is the main idea of the writer?
A. Young people take up “grandma hobbies” only to make friends.
B. All young people turn their hobbies into successful businesses.
C. Needlepoint is the most popular free-time activity for Gen Z.
D. “Grandma hobbies” help young people relax and find pleasure.
D
The 2026 Spring Festival Gala, China’s most beloved New Year’s show, welcomed a group of special stars— Unitree humanoid robots. Teaming up with young kung fu students, they put on an amazing performance called Martial BOT that amazed millions of viewers.
These 1.8-meter-tall robots showed off incredible skills. They did backflips (后空翻)over tables, jumped 3 meters high in the air, and even spun like breakdancers in a move called Airflare (大回环). What’s more, dozens of robots moved together in perfect order, changing positions at 4 meters per second without bumping into each other. Their “smart hands” could quickly grab and switch kung fu props like nunchakus (双节棍) and long swords, just like real martial artists.
Behind this great show was smart technology. The robots used an AI positioning system that helped them stay on track even after crazy moves. They also had a special control system that let all robots move in sync (同步) with almost no delay.
This wasn’t Unitree’s first Gala. In 2025, they danced yangge, a traditional folk dance. This year’s performance showed how fast China’s robot technology is growing. It also blended (融合) traditional Chinese culture with high-tech, proving that machines can help keep old traditions alive.
13. What helped the robots move together perfectly?
A. Human guides on stage. B. AI positioning system.
C. Pre-drawn lines on the floor. D. Loud music to follow.
14. What does the underlined word “they” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. The Spring Festival Galas. B. Viewers.
C. Breakdancers. D. Unitree robots.
15. What did the robots do in the 2025 Spring Festival Gala?
A. Performed kung fu. B. Danced yangge.
C. Starred (主演) in a short play. D. Sang songs.
16. What can you learn from the passage?
A. Robots will control humans’ lives. B. Humans can buy robots freely.
C. Robots can help make the old traditions alive. D. Robots can do everything for humans.
