　　One night, quite late, I got back to the hotel after a good 　　1　　 with some friends．I walked into the lift and 　　2　　 the button．When the lift stopped, I got out and walked to what I 　　3　　 was my room．When I opened the door I saw an 　　4　　 scene．A man pointed a 　　5　　 at a woman sitting in an armchair, and the woman was saying in a 　　6　　 voice, “Please don't shoot me!” I turned 　　7　　, ran along the corridor(走廊)and 　　8　　 the stair－I daren't wait for the lift－and found the night porter in the hall．“Quick．” I cried, “Someone was murdered in my room”．Controlling his 　　9　　 he came back with me, but when we opened the door of 311, the room was 　　10　　．The porter looked at me strangely, said, “I think, sir, you'd better 　　11　　,” and he left．I thought I must have drunk 　　12　　 much．I followed his 　　13　　．At last, I thought I hadn't heard a gun 　　14　　．The next morning I made some inquires(咨询), and the explanation was really quite 　　15　　．I went to Room411 on the floor 　　16　　 where a famous actor and his wife were studying 　　17　　 of a new play．When I told them that it was I who had 　　18　　 their room, they laughed and gave me a 　　19　　 to see the play on the 　　20　　 night．

　　Anger is good for you as long as you control it，according to a new psychology research．A new study from Carnegie Mellon University shows anger may help people reduce the negative effects of stress and help you become healthier．

　　“Here getting emotional is not bad for you if you look at the case of anger,”said Jennifer Lerner of Carnegie Mellon．“The more people display anger，the lower their stress responses．”

　　Lerner studied 92 UCLA students by asking them to count back from 6,200．They must say out loud every thirteenth number．Researchers disturbed them by asking them to count faster or ask them other questions．If they made any mistake，they had to restart from the very beginning．Many students felt depressed about making so many mistakes or got angry．

　　Lerner used a hidden video camera and recorded all their facial expressions during the test．The researchers describe their reactions as fear，anger and disgust(厌恶)．

　　Other researchers recorded the students’ blood pressure，pulse and production of a high－stress hormone(荷尔蒙)called cortisone．People whose faces showed more fear during the experiment had higher blood pressure and higher levels of the hormone．Both can have lasting effects such as diabetes(糖尿病)，heart disease，depression and extra weight gain．

　　When people feel fear，negative effects increase, but when they get angry，those negatives go down，according to the study．

　　“Having that sense of anger leads people to actually feeling some power in what otherwise is a maddening(令人发狂的)situation,”Lerner said．

　　Lerner previously studied Americans’ emotional response to the 911 terrorist attacks two months after the incident．She found people who reacted with anger were more optimistic．These people are healthier compared with those who were frightened during the event．So in maddening situations，anger is not a bad thing to have．It’s a healthier response than fear．
