Like many animal lovers, Tom and his wife, Linda, rarely passed an animal shelter without stopping to look inside. They often dreamed of running their own rescue center one day.
When Tom was injured in a car accident in 2020, they decided it was time to take action. Linda, who worked for a travel agency, was ready to try something new, and Tom needed a slower pace after his recovery.
They started by talking to shelter managers and studying animal care. “We knew it had to be a small rescue because we couldn’t compete with the big organizations dollar for dollar,” says Linda. One fact caught her attention: she had read that nearly 15 percent of homeless pets were older animals, and many adopters were willing to pay extra for their medical care. She and Tom themselves had adopted a senior dog before.
On New Year’s Day 2021, they opened the “Old Friends Rescue and Café” near their home. With two kids in high school, the couple couldn’t put all their savings into starting the center. To cover the $80,000 costs, they used part of their savings and borrowed some from friends and a bank.
The center just broke even in its first year, with only $90,000 from donations and adoption fees. But, Linda kept finding new ways to draw supporters. The café served homemade cookies and offered free coffee to volunteers, hosted adoption events for animal lovers, and ran reading programmes for children with pets. She also invited local vets to give free talks on senior pet care.
Today, Old Friends Rescue and Café makes about $320,000 a year. After paying for food, medical bills, and three part-time helpers, Tom and Linda together take home around $28,000.
“The work you love may not make you rich,” says Tom. “We’ve always wanted a meaningful life, not a big bank account.”
25. How did the couple afford to set up the rescue center?
A. They earned enough money by running a café in advance.
B. They combined personal savings with borrowed funds.
C. They got financial aid from local veterinary hospitals.
D. They relied on donations from animal lovers.
26. How did their rescue center do in the first year?
A. They spent the income on hiring more workers.
B. They made just enough to cover all the costs
C. They had to borrow money to keep it going.
D. They succeeded in earning a lot of money.
27. What does the author want to tell us through the story?
A. Running your own business is a path to getting rich.
B. Working hard is the way that leads to business success.
C. A meaningful life matters more than making a lot of money.
D. Couples with shared hobbies find it easier to succeed in business.
C
Along the river banks of the Amazon and the Orinoco lives a most remarkable bird that swims before it can fly, flies like a fat chicken, and feeds almost entirely on leaves. Its digestive system functions much like that of a cow, and when young, it even possesses sharp claws (爪) on its wings. This extraordinary creature is known as the hoatzin. To ensure the safety of its offspring, the bird builds its nest about 4.6 meters above the river, a height carefully chosen to protect the young from predators such as snakes and monkeys.
In appearance, both male and female hoatzins are nearly identical. They have brown feathers on the back, with cream and red colouring underneath. Their heads are relatively small, topped with a large fan-like crest of feathers. They also have striking bright red eyes and bare blue skin around the face. Interestingly, their closest relatives are not other strange birds, but the common cuckoos. However, the most fascinating feature of the hoatzin is found only in the young.
Baby hoatzins have a claw on the leading edge of each wing and another at the tip of each wing. Using these four claws, together with their beaks (喙), they are able to climb skillfully among the bushes and branches — a behaviour that strongly resembles what ancient, primitive birds must have done millions of years ago. Once the young birds learn to fly, however, they lose these claws completely, and the feature disappears forever.
During the drier months, from December to March, hoatzins gather in groups of 20 to 30 and move through the forest in search of food. But when the rainy season arrives in April, they break into much smaller units of two to seven birds, devoting themselves to reproduction and the careful raising of their young. This seasonal change in social behaviour reflects the hoatzin’s remarkable ability to adapt to the challenging conditions of its environment.
28. Why does the author mention the hoatzin’s cow-like digestive system?
A. To prove that it eats more than other birds.
B. To describe how it adapts to its food chain.
C. To show that the hoatzin is related to cows.
D. To explain how it survives on a diet of leaves.
29. What can we learn about the claws on a hoatzin’s wings?
A. They do not last into adulthood.
B. They grow back after falling off.
C. They are used mainly for fighting.
D. They help the bird swim in the water.
30. What can we infer about primitive birds from the passage?
A. They had feathers on their heads to attract mates.
B. They were able to swim before they learned to fly.
C. They were probably able to climb through bushes.
D. They built their nests high above the river to be safe.
D
How words came into being is unknown. All we assume is that some early men invented certain sounds, in one way or another, to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could talk with each other. Later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be put together to show those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, are called words.
The power of words, then, lies in their associations — the things they bring to our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words bring back to us the happy and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the larger the number of words that mean something to us becomes.
Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which have powerful effects on our minds and feelings. This clever use of words is what we call rhetoric. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can express his meaning in words which sing like music, and which by their position and association can move people to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them correctly, or they will make our speech silly and common.
From this we can see that words are not simply tools for communication. They carry the weight of human history, emotion, and thought. Every time we speak or write, we are taking part in a tradition that began thousands of years ago. When we use words poorly, we fail not only ourselves but also those who listen. But when we use them well, we can inspire, comfort, and teach. The study of words, therefore, is the study of life itself. Those who wish to express themselves clearly must first understand the power that lies in every syllable. A single word, placed correctly, can change a mind or lift a heart. That is why we must never stop learning about language. That is why words will always matter.
31. We learn from the text that language might have begun with ________.
A. expressions B. actions C. signs D. sounds
32. What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 2?
A. The learning of new words.
B. The importance of old words.
C. The relation of human experience with words.
D. The gradual change and development of words.
33. In the third paragraph, the word “rhetoric” probably means ________.
A. wording B. grammar C. quotation D. vocabulary
34. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The power of language grows through experience and reading.
B. Great writers are those who can express great thoughts clearly.
C. Poets can move people to tears with their careful choice of words.
D. Language is a common way for people to share different inner ideas.
第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,共10分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Jeanne Calment, the world’s longest-living person, died in 1997 at the age of 122. She led an active life even in her later years: taking up skating at 85, making her first movie appearance at 114, and holding a concert on her 121st birthday. ____35____ If scientists can develop effective anti-aging methods, such as special pills, targeted diets, or other treatments that slow down the aging process, could we possibly live to 150 years old or even beyond that?
____36____ Jerry Shay, a researcher at the University of Texas, says Calment’s 122-year life shows that human life span can be longer than previously thought, and he thinks someone alive today might reach 130 or 135. Steve Austad, another expert from the same university, shares this optimism, noting that experts once insisted humans couldn’t live past 110, but they raised the limit to 120 after Calment surpassed it.
Rich Miller at the University of Michigan points out that guessing how long humans can live is nothing more than guesswork. He argues that even with advanced anti-aging techniques, most people would likely only have their lives extended to around 120 years old, rather than reaching 150 or more. ____37____
Miller and George Martin of the University of Washington both support this cautious view. Miller uses scientific studies on mice to explain his reasoning: current treatments can lengthen mice’s life span by 50% at most, and applying this to humans — with an average life span of 80 years — would only take us to 120. Martin holds the same opinion and gives another piece of evidence. ____38____ He uses flies as an example. Even when a fly’s lifespan is extended, they will never live 150 years, even if humans evolve into a new species that ages more slowly.
In summary, as related research continues, two contrasting viewpoints exist. Optimistic researchers expect anti-aging advances to break Calment’s longevity record, while cautious scientists insist that biology sets a natural lifespan cap. ____39____
A. Researchers don’t entirely agree on the answers.
B. Some researchers hold an optimistic view on these questions.
C. For now, it is still unknown whether people can live up to 150.
D. He adds that while life span is flexible, it still has a natural limit.
E. Such views show that other researchers are more careful and realistic.
F. So what can we conclude from this little disagreement among the researchers?
G. Her extraordinary life has made people wonder how long humans can possibly live.

英语Ⅱ卷
阅读下面短文,根据题目要求用英文回答问题。
Recent research suggests that if an argument gets resolved,the emotional response tied to it is significantly reduced or almost completely erased.Thus,it may be worth bringing up issues with your friends, family members,or classmates rather than holding them back.
There is a difference between arguing and fighting.Arguing is that you and your opponent present your concerns and discuss the feelings and issues related to those concerns.You can engage in an argument respectfully without stirring up(激起) anger.Fighting,however,usually involves personal attacks,raising of voices, and storming out.Discussing your issues and resolving them instead of stuffing them down can improve your emotional health.In a study,2.000 people were asked to record their feelings and experiences for eight days in a row.When people had an argument that they considered resolved, they had half the reactivity (情绪反应) of those who avoided an argument.Reactivity is an increase in negative emotions or a decrease in positive emotions.In other words,resolving an argument cuts your negative feelings by half.One day later, people who had a resolved argument reported no increase of negative emotions compared with those who avoided an argument. This means that resolving an argument can feel like you have reached a state of resolution——and you are less likely to be annoyed.
Moreover,the older you are,the more likely you will come to a resolution after an argument.This may be because more life experience usually leads to more defined priorities.You are more likely to distinguish between what matters and what does not.
It is easier to avoid a discussion,but risking talking about it may eventually lead to a better outcome.
41. According to this passage,what is arguing?
42. Why is it that“the older you are, the more likely you will come to a resolution after an argument”?
43. Please decide which part is false in the following statement,then underline it and explain why.
Resolving arguments can improve your emotional health,because it increases your reactivity and reduces the chance of you getting angry.
44. In addition to improving emotional health,what do you think are some other benefits of resolving an argument? (In about 40 words)

Like many animal lovers, Tom and his wife, Linda, rarely passed an animal shelter without stopping to look inside. They often dreamed of running their own rescue center one day.
When Tom was injured in a car accident in 2020, they decided it was time to take action. Linda, who worked for a travel agency, was ready to try something new, and Tom needed a slower pace after his recovery.
They started by talking to shelter managers and studying animal care. “We knew it had to be a small rescue because we couldn’t compete with the big organizations dollar for dollar,” says Linda. One fact caught her attention: she had read that nearly 15 percent of homeless pets were older animals, and many adopters were willing to pay extra for their medical care. She and Tom themselves had adopted a senior dog before.
On New Year’s Day 2021, they opened the “Old Friends Rescue and Café” near their home. With two kids in high school, the couple couldn’t put all their savings into starting the center. To cover the $80,000 costs, they used part of their savings and borrowed some from friends and a bank.
The center just broke even in its first year, with only $90,000 from donations and adoption fees. But, Linda kept finding new ways to draw supporters. The café served homemade cookies and offered free coffee to volunteers, hosted adoption events for animal lovers, and ran reading programmes for children with pets. She also invited local vets to give free talks on senior pet care.
Today, Old Friends Rescue and Café makes about $320,000 a year. After paying for food, medical bills, and three part-time helpers, Tom and Linda together take home around $28,000.
“The work you love may not make you rich,” says Tom. “We’ve always wanted a meaningful life, not a big bank account.”
25. How did the couple afford to set up the rescue center?
A. They earned enough money by running a café in advance.
B. They combined personal savings with borrowed funds.
C. They got financial aid from local veterinary hospitals.
D. They relied on donations from animal lovers.
26. How did their rescue center do in the first year?
A. They spent the income on hiring more workers.
B. They made just enough to cover all the costs
C. They had to borrow money to keep it going.
D. They succeeded in earning a lot of money.
27. What does the author want to tell us through the story?
A. Running your own business is a path to getting rich.
B. Working hard is the way that leads to business success.
C. A meaningful life matters more than making a lot of money.
D. Couples with shared hobbies find it easier to succeed in business.
【答案】25. B 26. B 27. C
【解析】
【导语】本文讲述汤姆和妻子琳达热爱小动物,在汤姆车祸受伤后,二人下定决心开办老年宠物救助咖啡馆,他们自筹加借款凑齐启动资金,第一年仅收支平衡,后来通过多种方式扩大营收,夫妻俩收入微薄,但他们认为有意义的人生远比财富重要。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“To cover the $80,000 costs, they used part of their savings and borrowed some from friends and a bank.(为支付8万美元开销,他们拿出部分积蓄,还向朋友和银行借了一部分钱)”可知,夫妻俩结合个人存款与借款来创办救助中心。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第五段“The center just broke even in its first year, with only $90,000 from donations and adoption fees.(运营第一年救助中心刚好收支平衡,仅靠捐款和领养费收入9万美元)”可知,第一年收入仅够覆盖全部开支。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The work you love may not make you rich,” says Tom. “We’ve always wanted a meaningful life, not a big bank account.(汤姆说,“热爱的工作或许不会让你暴富,我们想要有意义的人生,而非丰厚存款”)”可推知,作者想告诉我们有意义的生活比赚很多钱更重要。
C
Along the river banks of the Amazon and the Orinoco lives a most remarkable bird that swims before it can fly, flies like a fat chicken, and feeds almost entirely on leaves. Its digestive system functions much like that of a cow, and when young, it even possesses sharp claws (爪) on its wings. This extraordinary creature is known as the hoatzin. To ensure the safety of its offspring, the bird builds its nest about 4.6 meters above the river, a height carefully chosen to protect the young from predators such as snakes and monkeys.
In appearance, both male and female hoatzins are nearly identical. They have brown feathers on the back, with cream and red colouring underneath. Their heads are relatively small, topped with a large fan-like crest of feathers. They also have striking bright red eyes and bare blue skin around the face. Interestingly, their closest relatives are not other strange birds, but the common cuckoos. However, the most fascinating feature of the hoatzin is found only in the young.
Baby hoatzins have a claw on the leading edge of each wing and another at the tip of each wing. Using these four claws, together with their beaks (喙), they are able to climb skillfully among the bushes and branches — a behaviour that strongly resembles what ancient, primitive birds must have done millions of years ago. Once the young birds learn to fly, however, they lose these claws completely, and the feature disappears forever.
During the drier months, from December to March, hoatzins gather in groups of 20 to 30 and move through the forest in search of food. But when the rainy season arrives in April, they break into much smaller units of two to seven birds, devoting themselves to reproduction and the careful raising of their young. This seasonal change in social behaviour reflects the hoatzin’s remarkable ability to adapt to the challenging conditions of its environment.
28. Why does the author mention the hoatzin’s cow-like digestive system?
A. To prove that it eats more than other birds.
B. To describe how it adapts to its food chain.
C. To show that the hoatzin is related to cows.
D. To explain how it survives on a diet of leaves.
29. What can we learn about the claws on a hoatzin’s wings?
A. They do not last into adulthood.
B. They grow back after falling off.
C. They are used mainly for fighting.
D. They help the bird swim in the water.
30. What can we infer about primitive birds from the passage?
A. They had feathers on their heads to attract mates.
B. They were able to swim before they learned to fly.
C. They were probably able to climb through bushes.
D. They built their nests high above the river to be safe.
【答案】28. D 29. A 30. C
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍麝雉的外形特征、特殊习性与生存适应能力。。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Along the river banks of the Amazon and the Orinoco lives a most remarkable bird that swims before it can fly, flies like a fat chicken, and feeds almost entirely on leaves. Its digestive system functions much like that of a cow, and when young, it even possesses sharp claws (爪) on its wings. This extraordinary creature is known as the hoatzin.(在亚马逊河与奥里诺科河沿岸,生活着一种极为奇特的鸟类:它还不会飞就先会游泳,飞起来像一只肥硕的鸡,几乎完全以树叶为食。它的消化系统运作方式和牛十分相似,幼鸟时期翅膀上甚至长有锋利的爪。这种非同寻常的生物就是麝雉。)”可知,麝雉只吃树叶,类似牛的消化系统是用来解释它如何仅靠树叶存活。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Once the young birds learn to fly, however, they lose these claws completely, and the feature disappears forever.(但幼鸟一旦学会飞行,就会彻底失去爪子,这一特征永久消失。)”可知,翅膀上的爪子成年后就不存在了。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Using these four claws, together with their beaks (喙), they are able to climb skillfully among the bushes and branches — a behaviour that strongly resembles what ancient, primitive birds must have done millions of years ago.(它们依靠四只爪子和喙熟练攀爬枝叶,该行为和远古原始鸟类的行为高度相似。)”可推知,原始鸟类或许可以在灌木丛中攀爬。
D
How words came into being is unknown. All we assume is that some early men invented certain sounds, in one way or another, to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could talk with each other. Later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be put together to show those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, are called words.
The power of words, then, lies in their associations — the things they bring to our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words bring back to us the happy and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the larger the number of words that mean something to us becomes.
Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which have powerful effects on our minds and feelings. This clever use of words is what we call rhetoric. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can express his meaning in words which sing like music, and which by their position and association can move people to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them correctly, or they will make our speech silly and common.
From this we can see that words are not simply tools for communication. They carry the weight of human history, emotion, and thought. Every time we speak or write, we are taking part in a tradition that began thousands of years ago. When we use words poorly, we fail not only ourselves but also those who listen. But when we use them well, we can inspire, comfort, and teach. The study of words, therefore, is the study of life itself. Those who wish to express themselves clearly must first understand the power that lies in every syllable. A single word, placed correctly, can change a mind or lift a heart. That is why we must never stop learning about language. That is why words will always matter.
31. We learn from the text that language might have begun with ________.
A. expressions B. actions C. signs D. sounds
32. What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 2?
A. The learning of new words.
B. The importance of old words.
C. The relation of human experience with words.
D. The gradual change and development of words.
33. In the third paragraph, the word “rhetoric” probably means ________.
A. wording B. grammar C. quotation D. vocabulary
34. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The power of language grows through experience and reading.
B. Great writers are those who can express great thoughts clearly.
C. Poets can move people to tears with their careful choice of words.
D. Language is a common way for people to share different inner ideas.
【答案】31. D 32. C 33. A 34. A
【解析】
【导语】文章介绍了文字的起源,阐述文字的力量源于联想与人生经历,优秀作家善于运用文字打动人心,强调语言承载情感、历史与思想,我们应当学好、用好文字。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“All we assume is that some early men invented certain sounds, in one way or another, to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could talk with each other.(我们推测早期人类创造出一些声音,用来表达想法、情感、行为和事物,以此相互交流)”可知,语言最初可能起源于声音。
【32题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words bring back to us the happy and sad events of our past(文字因人生经历被赋予含义,活得越久,词语越能勾起过往悲欢)”可知,本段主要讲述人类经历与文字之间的关联。
【33题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第三段“Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which have powerful effects on our minds and feelings. This clever use of words is what we call rhetoric.(优秀的作家不仅拥有深刻的思想,还能运用极具感染力的文字将这些思想表达出来。这种巧妙的文字运用技巧,我们称之为rhetoric)”可知,优秀的作家运用极具感染力的文字将这些思想表达出来,这是一种巧妙的文字运用,由此可推知,rhetoric指“文字措辞、文字表达技巧”,即wording。
【34题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知,第一段介绍文字的起源,第二段讲经历赋予文字力量,第三段讲巧妙运用文字能触动人心,末段点明研究文字就是研究生活,文字拥有改变人心的力量。A选项“语言的力量在经历与阅读中不断增长”能够概括全文核心。

Jeanne Calment, the world’s longest-living person, died in 1997 at the age of 122. She led an active life even in her later years: taking up skating at 85, making her first movie appearance at 114, and holding a concert on her 121st birthday. ____35____ If scientists can develop effective anti-aging methods, such as special pills, targeted diets, or other treatments that slow down the aging process, could we possibly live to 150 years old or even beyond that?
____36____ Jerry Shay, a researcher at the University of Texas, says Calment’s 122-year life shows that human life span can be longer than previously thought, and he thinks someone alive today might reach 130 or 135. Steve Austad, another expert from the same university, shares this optimism, noting that experts once insisted humans couldn’t live past 110, but they raised the limit to 120 after Calment surpassed it.
Rich Miller at the University of Michigan points out that guessing how long humans can live is nothing more than guesswork. He argues that even with advanced anti-aging techniques, most people would likely only have their lives extended to around 120 years old, rather than reaching 150 or more. ____37____
Miller and George Martin of the University of Washington both support this cautious view. Miller uses scientific studies on mice to explain his reasoning: current treatments can lengthen mice’s life span by 50% at most, and applying this to humans — with an average life span of 80 years — would only take us to 120. Martin holds the same opinion and gives another piece of evidence. ____38____ He uses flies as an example. Even when a fly’s lifespan is extended, they will never live 150 years, even if humans evolve into a new species that ages more slowly.
In summary, as related research continues, two contrasting viewpoints exist. Optimistic researchers expect anti-aging advances to break Calment’s longevity record, while cautious scientists insist that biology sets a natural lifespan cap. ____39____
A. Researchers don’t entirely agree on the answers.
B. Some researchers hold an optimistic view on these questions.
C. For now, it is still unknown whether people can live up to 150.
D. He adds that while life span is flexible, it still has a natural limit.
E. Such views show that other researchers are more careful and realistic.
F. So what can we conclude from this little disagreement among the researchers?
G. Her extraordinary life has made people wonder how long humans can possibly live.
【答案】35. G 36. B 37. E 38. D 39. C

Thank you.
【答案】One possible version:
Dear classmates,
As our foreign teacher has observed, most of us are trapped in unhealthy lifestyles. Burdened with piles of homework, many stay up late burning the midnight oil, while scarce time is set aside for sports. Without adequate sleep and regular workouts, we frequently feel exhausted and find it tough to focus on lessons.
From my perspective, only by forming healthy routines can we maintain energy. First, arrange our time reasonably to guarantee seven to eight hours of sleep every night. Besides, squeeze spare time to take exercise, ranging from jogging to playing badminton. Good health, which serves as the foundation of efficient study, deserves our top priority. Let’s take action right away!
Thank you.

英语Ⅱ卷
阅读下面短文,根据题目要求用英文回答问题。
Recent research suggests that if an argument gets resolved,the emotional response tied to it is significantly reduced or almost completely erased.Thus,it may be worth bringing up issues with your friends, family members,or classmates rather than holding them back.
There is a difference between arguing and fighting.Arguing is that you and your opponent present your concerns and discuss the feelings and issues related to those concerns.You can engage in an argument respectfully without stirring up(激起) anger.Fighting,however,usually involves personal attacks,raising of voices, and storming out.Discussing your issues and resolving them instead of stuffing them down can improve your emotional health.In a study,2.000 people were asked to record their feelings and experiences for eight days in a row.When people had an argument that they considered resolved, they had half the reactivity (情绪反应) of those who avoided an argument.Reactivity is an increase in negative emotions or a decrease in positive emotions.In other words,resolving an argument cuts your negative feelings by half.One day later, people who had a resolved argument reported no increase of negative emotions compared with those who avoided an argument. This means that resolving an argument can feel like you have reached a state of resolution——and you are less likely to be annoyed.
Moreover,the older you are,the more likely you will come to a resolution after an argument.This may be because more life experience usually leads to more defined priorities.You are more likely to distinguish between what matters and what does not.
It is easier to avoid a discussion,but risking talking about it may eventually lead to a better outcome.
41. According to this passage,what is arguing?
42. Why is it that“the older you are, the more likely you will come to a resolution after an argument”?
43. Please decide which part is false in the following statement,then underline it and explain why.
Resolving arguments can improve your emotional health,because it increases your reactivity and reduces the chance of you getting angry.
44. In addition to improving emotional health,what do you think are some other benefits of resolving an argument? (In about 40 words)
【答案】41. Arguing is discussing your worries,related feelings and problems with the other party.
42. It is because more life experience may help people better identify priorities in life.
43. Resolving arguments can improve your emotional health,because it increases your reactivity and reduces the chance of you getting angry.Resolving arguments helps to decrease your reactivity.
