　　Two kinds of people exist in this world: clean people and people who have found millions of ways to avoid cleaning their rooms.

　　I belong to 1 because I am a teenager. Like all teenagers I am 2 busy pretending to be receiving an education to 3 that scientists attribute(归因于) 52 percent of global warming to the 4 that escapes from my bedroom window. 5 all you 6 get too angry, I want you to know that I closed my window last week.

　　Don't think the messy state of my room doesn't 7 me, it does. Every night I go to sleep, haunted(受折磨) by the thought that a(n) 8 I lost three years ago is somewhere in my room still plugged in(插着电源) and waiting to start a fire. 9 thing that worries me are my fish. I haven't gotten around to cleaning their tank this year. I can't 10 if they are alive or not.

　　A few weeks ago my mother ordered me to clean my mom. She said, “Tracie, you 11 not eat, sleep, or breathe until you clean up your room.”

　　I responded, “Mum, did I tell you I got an A on my physics test yesterday?”

　　“You don't even take physics, Tracie, so how can you get an A?”

　　My Mum was 12 than I thought, so I decided to ignore(不理会) the question and change the 13 .

　　“Did you know that most kids today watch ten and a half hours of TV? And high school students score an average of 500 points 14 on the SATs than the kids in your generation.” “No! Really? Well, Tracie, that's just one more example of how the weak 15 of today affect the minds and education of the kids your age. Oh! I forgot to take the bread out of the oven(烤箱)!”

　　I smiled to myself for once again 16 my mother with perfectly useless and untrue 17 . Thereby I avoided the 18 task of cleaning my room.

　　Then I turned and observed the smoke and the big pile of smelly 19 . But, I am just too 20 to disturb the natural flow of things.

Family time is one of the most important times in a child’s life．My family and I 1 a lot of time together，including every 2   ．Even when my father is  3   on business，my mother，my sister，and I sit down at the table to eat and  4  our day．We don’t watch television but have

  5  together．As a teenager，   6   with my parents is not the most fun thing I do but I feel it is necessary．I learn from them  7  we talk, whether it is about my dad’s job or my mother’s day.

I did a little research on the “family table”  8  ．Statistics show that only 50% of  9  sit down to dinner together each night．That’s a  10 ，because researchers  11  that kids who have these regular family dinners have  12  behavior，grades，and a larger vocabulary．They are also less  13  to smoke，drink，do drugs，or have eating disorders Time with their parents makes kids more  14  and gives them a sense of  15  and safety．Plus，they learn better manners．

Now with many single—parent families or homes  16  both parents work，making time together has become harder．There have been many recent studies showing kids are“  17   ”than they used to be．I think it’s primarily parents’  18  ．Only good things  19   taking 15 minutes away from television and five minutes from video games to have this time with your family．By spending 20 minutes with   20  ，I believe this idea of “wild kids” would decrease greatly．

Like poorly managed stress, anger that isn’t handled in a healthy way can be not only uncomfortable, but even damaging to one’s health and personal life. Consider the following research on anger:

One study from the University of Washington School of Nursing studied   1   problems in husbands and wives. Researchers cited(引用) previous evidence that anger problems and depressive symptoms have been linked to all major   2   of death, but found that wives specifically found a greater association between anger and   3   of depression,   4   men tended to instead experience an   5   between anger and health problems.

According to a study from Ohio State University, those who had less control over their anger   6   to heal more slowly from wounds. Researchers gave blisters(起疱膏) to 98 participants and found that, after 8 days, those who had less control over their anger also tended to be   7   healers.    8   , those participants also tended to have more cortisol (a stress hormone) in their system during the blistering procedure,   9   that they may be more stressed by difficult situations as well.

  10   study from Harvard School of Public Health studied hostility(敌对行为) in men and found that those with   11   rates of hostility not only had poorer pulmonary functioning (breathing problems), but experienced higher rates of decline as they aged.

Research with children and   12   shows that anger   13   is important for the younger set as well.

Their   15   is also at risk; those who cope poorly with anger tend to have more negative   16   when it comes to both mental and general health. This highlights the fact that anger management is an important skill to   17   early.

These are just a few of the many studies linking anger to   18   and emotional health problems, from the obvious to the   19   . Because poorly managed anger presents such a significant problem in so many areas of life, it’s important to take steps toward learning and using healthy anger management techniques in daily life,    20   stress management techniques.
