5、Anger is good for you, as long as you control it properly, according to a new psychology research. The 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 show 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 13^th number. Researchers interfered with（扰乱，妨碍）them by asking them to count faster or asking 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 because the researchers were interrupting them. Lerner used a hidden video camera and recorded all their facial expressions during the test. The researchers described their reactions as fear, anger and disgust. Other researchers recorded the students’ blood pressure and production of high-stress hormone. （荷尔蒙）

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 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 feel some power in what otherwise is a maddening situation, Lerner said.

So in maddening situations, anger is not a bad thing to have. It’s a healthier response than fear.

A. people should be angry all the time          B. anger does no harm to people

74. From this passage we can infer that         .

A. if people often get angry they will probably have higher blood pressure

B. higher blood pressure may have something to do with weight gain

C. when people feel fear, they will probably have lower levels of the hormone

D. those who have heart disease will surely suffer from depression

4、My friend Jennie gave her bone marrow（ 骨髓 ）to a 50-year-old woman, a woman she has never met.

At the end of March, the Red Cross called back. Six different blood elements were tested ; Jennie matched five completely and was about a 3/4 match of the six. So she was the best match.

In April, Jennie went for a complete physical exam by one of the doctors who would perform the surgery. The doctor had to make sure that it would be no tread to her. The doctor told her that the surgery would need to have two quarts of bone marrow from her hip bones. Jennie would probably be released the same day the surgery took place and should expect to be painful for a couple of months.

 “I didn't think it was that big a deal until I realized I was a match,” Jennie said. “There was not a question in my head. It didn't seem like something that was going above and beyond. ”

Jennie was left with two very small scars on her lower back from the surgery and was giving medication to help reduce the pain. She still felt a great deal of pressure on her lower back. “Being only 21, I felt like I am not old enough to significantly impact  someone's life,” Jennie said. “ It seems strange to me that I could possibly save this woman's life which was being cut short by cancer. ”

Three weeks after the surgery, Jennie received a car from the Red Cross representative who told her the transplant was successful. “I feel good, and I think it will actually work for her. ” She said, “So many people say that they'd only donate if it was for a family member or close friend. This woman was someone's family and someone's friend. Obviously no one she knows is a match, and the fact that you'd be able to help a perfect stranger is greater. ”

A. a close friend    B. a stranger    C. a classmate    D. a relative

3、Good health is the most precious thing in the world. When you have got it, you never think about it. When you haven’t got it, you think about it all the time. Our biggest enemies are not terrible, diseases and so on. We are our own biggest enemies because we sometimes destroy our own good health. Some of us eat too much, drink too much and smoke too much. And though our reason tells us we should control ourselves, we find it difficult. The fact is that most human beings need stimulation. Who doesn’t enjoy a drink after a busy day? Only a smoker knows the pleasure of a cigarette with a cup of coffee.

So far so good. The danger is when these innocent pleasure run our lives and so destroy our health. When you find yourself eating between meals or eating too much rich food, when you can only keep yourself going by taking frequent drinks or by smoking one cigarette after another, then it’s time to stop and think what you might be doing to yourself. The funny thing is that when we don’t control ourselves, simple pleasures are no longer simple pleasures.

All right, I know what you’re thinking. You’re probably saying: “It’s all very well for him to talk, but I can’t help myself. I need that extra bit of food, that extra drink, that extra cigarette. Life has so many pressures that I can’t manage without them. ” But I’m saying you can help yourself. Not only that you must help yourself. Because if you don’t help yourself, no one else can. So be your own best friend.

Look for the bottom card at the beginning which you have remembered. The cards that come after it will be the one your friend picked. Also, a mind-reading trick is fun to do at a party. You leave the room, and while you are gone, a tea cup is placed upside down over a penny, nickel（$0. 05）, dime（$0. 1）or quarter（$0. 25）. When you come back into the room, you can tell which coin the tea cup is hiding. To do this trick, you only need a helper, or partner. Before hand, you two work out some signals.

1、Nowadays it is found that school students seldom pay much attention to sports. Is it because they have no _36_ in sports? It may not be the fact. They often say they have _37_ more important things to do.

_38_ are these important things? Examinations! They have to _39_ themselves for the most important School Certificates of Education Examination, and also to _40_ with the tests and the exams in school. So many of them tend to _41_ bookworms.

In the summer holidays of the former years they could do _42_ they like, but in the summer holidays of the _43_ years, they have to  _44_ all their time to the preparation. So studies have __45_ them from going in sports.
