Ⅲ.七选五
(2016·河南省中原名校上学期高三联考)
Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion，unless you learn how to deal with it.They warn that anger can lead to heart disease，stomach problems，headaches，emotional problems and possibly cancer.
__1__Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way.Others burst with anger，and scream and yell.But other people keep their anger inside.They can not or will not express it.This is called repressing anger.
For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person’s health than expressing it.They said that when a person is angry，the brain releases the same hormones (荷尔蒙)．They speed the heart rate，raise blood pressure，or sugar into the blood，etc.__2__
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 anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure.
__3__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.If it is，they say，“__4__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.__5__.
A．Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time.
B．Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger.
C．Expressing anger violently is more harmful than repressing it.
D．Anger may cause you a cancer.
E．Do not express your anger while angry.
F．In general the person feels excited and ready to act.
G．They said that laughter is much healthier than anger.

Optimism is important in all aspects of our life.If you can change your mind from pessimism，you can change your life.
Up to the beginning of Senior Grade Two，I did poorly in my English but I didn’t give in because I was always encouraged by both the people around me and myself.I kept practicing speaking，listening，reading and writing.When I was fed up with reading or writing，I usually entertained myself by reading some interesting English stories，jokes and humors or seeing English films.When I had some trouble in reciting or memorizing，I tried to amuse myself by playing word games or singing English songs.By this means，I always made myself cheerful and optimistic，full of splendid and colorful dreams of future.I kept practicing.Gradually，I made progress in my English.
Thanks to the optimism，I have become one of the top students in my class by now.
