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. 1.What is the main idea of the first paragraph? A. Anger makes us uncomfortable. B. Anger is difficult to deal with. C. Parents often lose their temper at home. D. Parents should model a good anger style. 2.What would a child be like if he developed a “false self”? A. Polite and optimistic. B. Perfect and helpful. C. Negative and indirect. D. Rude and dishonest. 3.What’s the main purpose of the last 2 paragraphs? A. To give tips to create healthier anger. B. To suggest ways to avoid anger. C. To show the harm anger does to kids. D. To stress the importance of expressing anger. 4.In which part of a website can we read the passage? A. Food& Recipes B. Psychology & Health C. Life & Entertainment D. School& Education

The next time you go grocery shopping, try speaking to other customers. One summer day, I took a smile and a warm heart into a small store in Oregon and got far more than groceries. I love fresh produce(农产品) in the store, and not just for the amazing colors provided by summer's bounty (慷慨) or the chance to joy over new choices from other countries. It's also because I just love watching people pick their produce. The day I was there I found a sale on amazing cherry tomatoes—along with a woman in her late 70s. Despite the fact that we were strangers, we began to discuss apples. She noted a problem with the Pink Ladies. "They tasted like I was eating an unripe green apple from the tree," she said, twisting her face as if still tasting the sour apple. I wondered if this is something most of my generation can even remember doing. I surely do. I mentioned that I often could not resist the green yet tempting fruit swinging from an apple tree. This was the start for a series of discussions as we shopped-covering such topics as nutrition, new foods and the quality of produce. By this time a third woman had joined in our conversation. The three of us continued along, unexpected friends, chatting about family size and the troubles a mom might have serving healthful foods that please the whole family. Eventually we all went our separate ways, but in the dairy(奶制品) section I heard a small voice say, "I finally caught up with you." It was the first woman I'd talked to, extending a bag of apricots(杏) to me. "I don't know if your family will eat these," she added, "but they have a super deal on them." Again I was brought back to my childhood, when I also ate apricots straight from the tree. My mouth watered at the remembered flavor. The old lady didn't realize that she'd given me far more than produce. With that offering came a sense of community, a flashback to days when it was OK to talk to a stranger. She brought back memories of summer fruits right from the tree—and a feeling that somehow those apricots were a thank-you for sharing my time with her in a very unlikely place. 1.One reason the author likes fresh produce in grocery shop is that ________. A. she enjoys observing people selecting fresh produce B. she likes watching people tasting fresh produce C. she produces fresh produce herself D. she sells fresh produce herself 2.What might be the problem with the Pink Ladies noted by the old lady? A. Their price was too high. B. Their color was too green. C. Their taste was too sour. D. Their size was too small. 3.Why did the old lady bring a bag of apricots to the author? A. She found the apricots were on sale in the shop. B. She learned that the author wanted to buy apricots. C. She wanted to send the apricots as a gift to the author. D. She knew that the author's family liked eating apricots. 4.According to the author, what is the extra value of grocery shopping? A. It adds flavor and color to her boring daily life. B. It helps her to see the importance of family life. C. It gives her a chance to learn about nutrition knowledge. D. It brings her unexpected friendship and sweet memories.

Dictionaries are not closed books. There is still plenty of room for more words in these great vocabulary authorities. Dictionaries are not closed books. There is still plenty of room for more words in these great vocabulary authorities. New words are continually being created and added to our language. And many of today's word experts can credit a famous mathematician with the creation of the method by which they develop many new words. The mathematician was an Englishman named Charles L. Dodgson. In addition to working with figures, Dodgson wrote books. His imaginative stories and poems have made Dodgson beloved to generations of readers. We know him, however, not by the name of Dodgson but by his pen name, Lewis Carroll. Lewis Carroll has delighted countless readers, young and old, with Alice in Wonderland, Through the Looking Glass, and numerous poems. In these works, Carroll developed dozens of nonsensical words such as "chortle" and "galumph". Many of these words are combined naturally with more common words in the English language. Carroll referred to his made-up words as "portmanteau" words, named after a kind of leather suitcase that opens into two compartments. The name was well suited, because most of Carroll's words had two compartments. Rather than being entirely fabricated（虚构）, they were usually made from the combined parts of two different words. A "snark", for example, clearly came from a snake and a shark. Although Carroll died long ago, his technique continues to be used today. We clearly see his influence in such words as smog, brunch, and guesstimate. 1.What does the underlined sentence probably mean according to the passage? A. Dictionaries are open to the public. B. Dictionaries are helpful to the public. C. Dictionaries are ready to welcome new words. D. The vocabularies in dictionaries are limited. 2.Dodgson's made-up words ________. A. are based on different words B. are borrowed from other languages C. all come from his poems D. are still widely used 3.This passage is mainly about ________. A. how Dodgson wrote his works B. how English words are created C. how a dictionary is written D. how Dodgson created new words
