1.Being angry doesn’t really solve much, but what people do when they feel angry is important. The goal is to calm down and try to solve what is bothering you. This is hard for some kids and adults, too. Instead of calming down, some kids might keep getting more and more upset until they explode like a volcano!
2.Their anger might be so strong that they lose control of their temper. They may act in ways unacceptable and hurtful. People may say that someone has trouble controlling their temper. 3.
Some kids might get so angry that they scream at their parents, break something, or even worse, hit their brothers or sisters. 4.However, it’s not OK for a kid to do any of those things .Kids don’t want to act in this way, but sometimes angry feelings can be hard to manage. So what to do?
Well, the good news is that kids don’t just have to keep making the same mistakes over and over again. 5.. Imagine your temper as a puppy inside you that needs some training. The puppy is not bad — it will probably turn out a great dog. It just needs to learn some rules because, right now, that puppy is causing some problems to you.
A．You can train your temper.
B．You don’t want to cause trouble.
C．Kids should be allowed to express their feelings, even angry ones.
D．Everybody gets angry sometimes.
E．In fact, they usually mean that a kid behaves badly when feeling angry.
F．Instead of thinking of the person you’re angry with, think of something else.
G．Some kids get angry more often or more easily than some other kids.
For the last couple of weeks, I had been stuck in front of my computer working on a project that was very important to me. My every waking hour was consumed by the project and although I imagined that I would feel happy after completing parts of the project, I was confused to find that instead, I was feeling rather depressed. I tried a range of methods to help cheer myself up. I had a relaxing bath, cooked a delicious meal to enjoy with my family and even watched a lighthearted movie, but to_no_avail. It was only when I turned to meditation (沉思) for a solution that the answer came to me: turn to nature!
The very next day, I grabbed my camera and a bottle of water and set off to spend a few hours walking in a nature reserve, even though it was pouring with rain. Within a couple of minutes I felt alive again. To be honest, I felt like a young school girl again and had to stop myself from hopping along the path singing I’m singing in the rain, a song I used to sing when I was a child. I think as adults we often try too hard to control our inner children and as a result we restrain our own spirits, which only leads to depression and stress.
Interestingly, it has been shown that people who spend 40 minutes walking in a nature reserve have a drop in their blood pressure levels, but this does not happen when they spend a similar amount of time walking in a busy city centre.
If you feel a little low in spirits and know that you have spent too much time indoors, relax completely, remove your shoes and let your inner child come out and play.

A. explanation B. suggestion
C. introduction D. reminder
