Anger often makes us uncomfortable. When you find your anger too uncomfortable to process, please let it go. But remember to create a healthy anger in your children is to practice creating a healthy anger in yourself. Once you're better at experiencing anger and expressing it in a healthy way, you'll be able to model a good style of anger for your kids.

Some kids deal with anger by creating a "false self": a child who is perfect for their parents. People who have developed a false self are often passive aggressive and seem shallow because they've hid away all the feelings with depth and character.

How do we keep kids from creating false selves? We need to raise them in an environment where it's safe to express feelings. Once you feel more comfortable with your own anger, you can teach your children why anger is a helpful emotion. When your kid expresses anger, help them examine what it is that has made them angry. Why did it make them angry? How did it do that? Then, you can teach them that while emotions are never wrong and are always valid, our expressions of our emotions are within our control.

People who are afraid of their own anger will never learn how to listen to what their anger is trying to tell them. Instead of teaching our kids that their anger is wrong, that "happy families" are never angry, or that all feelings of anger lead to violence and fear, we can teach our children that anger is OK. Anger is natural, it is normal, and it can be experienced and expressed in a healthy way.

19．Royal （皇家的） fans around the world got an early Christmas present Saturday when new photos of Prince George of Cambridge were released by his parents．
Prince William and Duchess Kate released three official photos of the little prince，which were taken in November 2014and show him in a courtyard in Kensington Palace，where he lives with his parents in London．Official pictures of George are few，to the great regret of royal fans who can't get enough of him．
The last time the Duke and Duchess released photos was for George's first birthday，in July，when he was at the Natural History Museum in London．He was pictured with his parents playing with one of the colorful butterflies．
The first photos of George were made in March，when he and his parents and their black dog were photographed at a window at Kensington Palace just before they all went on three-week tour of New Zealand and Australia．

Here and there，paparazzi （狗仔队） have photographed George out with his mother．Will and Kate are angry and have said they want the child to grow up in a relatively normal environment．Will and Kate are expected to join the queen on Christmas Day for church services，but George is not likely to be with them in church．
As usual，Will and Kate brought home lots of presents given to them for George during their 48-hour，three-day trip to America，including a mini-T-shirt from"King"LeBron James at a NBA game they attended in Brooklyn．

3．Two new studies suggest that modern running shoes could increase the risk of injuries to runners．
One study involved sixty-eight healthy young women and men who ran at least twenty-four kilometers a week．The runners were observed on a treadmill machine（跑步机）．Sometimes they wore running shoes．Other times they ran barefoot．
Researchers found that running shoes create more stress that could damage knees，hips and ankle joints than running barefoot．They observed that the effect was even greater than the effect reported earlier for walking in high heels．
The other study compared runners in the United States and Kenya．The researchers divided the runners into three groups．One group had always run shoeless．Another group had always run with shoes．And the third group had changed to shoeless running．
Runners who wear shoes usually come down heel first．That puts great force on the back of the foot．But the study found that barefoot runners generally land on the front or middle of their foot．That way they ease into their landing and avoid striking their heels．
Daniel Lieberman says the way most running shoes are designed may explain why those who wear them land on their heels．The heel of the shoe is bigger and heavier than other parts of the shoe，so it would seem more likely to come down first．Also，the heel generally has thick material under it to soften landings．
But the researchers do not suggest that runners immediately start running barefoot．They say it takes some training．And there can be risks，like running when your feet are too cold to feel if you get injured．

24．What's the main idea of the passage？D
A．Running in shoes is partly good to runners．
B．Two new discoveries encourage people to run in high heels．
C．Walking in high heels could cause less serious effects than running barefoot．
D．Two new studies prove running without shoes is beneficial to runners in most cases．
25．From the fifth paragraph we can infer thatB．
A．running barefoot is faster than running in shoes．
B．the landing point is very important in running．
C．running shoeless can give people a real exercise．
D．different running ways cause different injuries．
26．Why do people who run in shoes land on their heels？B
A．Because the shoes put great force on the back of the foot．
B．Because the design of running shoes is unreasonable．
C．Because people who often run get used to landing on their heels．
D．Because the running people want to run faster．
27．What's the writer's attitude towards the use of the modern running shoes？C
A．Positive． 
B．Persuasive． 
C．Objective． 
D．Supportive．

17．A new study showed that one of the best ways to control greenhouse gas emissions（温室气体排放） is to eat less meat．In fact，the study showed that meat consumption（食用量） in developed countries should be cut by 50% per person before 2050．
Meat production and consumption are expected to rise very quickly to a high level by 2050．That's because the global population is expected to grow from the present 7billion to 9billion．But also，the diets of people in many developing countries are changing．Countries that are developing rapidly are seeing a fast rise in protein consumption，especially red meat．
Dr．Eric Davidson，the president and senior scientist at the Woods Hole Research Center in Massachusetts，said changing the way people eat can have a great effect on greenhouse gas emissions．People in developed countries，he said，already eat much more protein than the daily requirement．
"In the developed world，there is large room for us to manage the frequency with which we eat meat．If there is a growing need for meat，that is going to end up requiring use of more nitrogen fertilizer（肥料） and production of more livestock manure（家畜粪肥），both of which end up resulting in release of various forms of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere，"he said．
Davidson said farmers should be encouraged to use fertilizers and manure in a more careful way．"If we want to meet the greatest goal of making harmful climate change under control，we need to improve the efficiency（效能） with which we use fertilizers in agriculture．We need to improve the efficiency of the management of manure．And we also need to consider changes in dietary patterns（饮食方式）．And that means hopefully better diets in the developing world and better balanced diets in the developed world，"he said．
Even if it were possible to turn off all harmful greenhouse gas emissions today，he said climate change would continue．"But that does not mean that we can do nothing for  it  now，because the sooner we start to take action，the more choices our children and grandchildren will have in terms of being able to feed themselves and have comfortable lifestyles without environmental degradation（退化），"he said．

A．one of the best ways to keep healthy
B．an effective way to develop the economy
C．the best way to control greenhouse gas emissions
D．a good way to protect the environment

18．Commencement （毕业典礼） is a time for idealism．
But economic reality is cruel everywhere； especially for new graduate．They have been told repeatedly that a college degree is an open sesame（芝麻） to the global economy．But that's not necessarily so，according to new research by two economists at he Massachusetts Institute of Technology，Frank Levy and Peter Temin．
It is true that people with college degrees make more money than people without degrees．The gap has narrowed somewhat in recent years，which is disturbing．But the earning power of college graduates still far outpaces that of less-educated workers．
The bad news，though，is that a college degree does not ensure a bigger share of the economics pie for many graduates．In recent decades Mr．Levy and Mr．Temin show，only college-educated women have seen their income grow in line with economy wide gains in productivity．The earnings of male college graduates have failed to keep pace with productivity gains．
Instead，a huge share of productivity growth，which expands the nation's income，is going to Americans on the top of the income scale．In 2005，the latest year with available data，the top of 1 percent of Americans---whose average annual income was $ 1.1 million---took in 21.8 percent of the nation's income，their largest share since 1929．
Administration officials，and other politicians and economists，often，believe that income inequality，reflects an education gap．But Mr．Levy and Mr．Temin show that in the case of men，the average bachelor's degree is not enough to catch the rising tide of the global economy．
They argue that the real reason that inequality is worsening is the lack of strong policies that broadly distribute economic gains．In the past，for example，a more progressive income tax and unions promote equality．Positive measures have been eroding and new ones have not yet emerged，making the income gap even greater．
Mr．Levy and Mr．Temin conclude that only a new government policy can restore general prosperity．That's a challenge to the nation's leader and today's graduates．America needs them to contribute to the development of the nation in global economy．
41．The passage is mainly about thatC．
A．there is a big income gap between female and male college graduates in America．
B．college graduates find it hard to find an ideal job after graduation in America．
C．research shows that American government should take measures to ensure income equality for college graduates
D．college degrees are losing value in America．
42．What is the main idea of paragraph 5？B
A．The whole nation has enjoyed a big income growth with the growth of productivity．
B．Much of the total income in America has been gained by a few very rich people．
C．A small part of people in America have income increase．
D．Upper class Americans contribute most to productivity growth．
43．The underlined word"eroding"in paragraph 7 probably meansB．
A．being gradually destroyed by wind or rain   
B．gradually reducing power
C．gradually disappearing                  
D．gradually not suitable
44．We can infer from the passage thatB．
A．female college graduates have higher income than male ones．
B．female college graduates have benefited from some governmental measures to ensure their income growth．
C．income tax can grantee income equality．
D．new measures and policies have been taken to promote income equality．
45．From the passage，some economists believe that the worsening income inequality is caused byB
A．lower college degree of college graduates  
B．lack of proper governmental policies
C．gender discrimination        
D．underdevelopment of economy and productivity．
