Many strong and out-of-control emotions are recognized as an illness. People who are always very sad have depression (抑郁癥); those who worry a lot have anxiety.
But what about anger problems? Anger is largely viewed as a secondary emotion – one caused by other emotions. People are thought to be angry because they are sad, anxious or stressed. In the past, many doctors didn’t accept the idea that anger could be a problem all on its own.
Today, though, a growing number of mental health experts think that anger is a serious problem that needs its own treatment.
How to tell the difference between “normal” anger and “anger problem” is difficult. After all, everyone gets really mad from time to time. Experts point out a few ways.
Disordered anger, as it is sometimes called, tends to be of greater intensity (強度). It takes very little to set off a person with an anger problem, and their responses (反應) are very strong. An example: While most people would get upset if a driver cut them off, someone with disordered anger might try to chase down the car and force it off the road.
And in cases of disordered anger, the person gets angry more frequently and his/her anger lasts longer. For most people, angry feelings disappear quickly. But people with anger problems often stay angry for days, weeks or even years; their feelings of anger don’t disappear over time.
Consequences are also important to consider: Disordered anger often damages people’s lives. “It interferes (干擾) with people’s relationships and their jobs,” says Raymond Chip Tafrate, a US psychologist. “Even their health is affected.”
Anger clearly increases the risk of certain health problems, as many studies have shown. “When a person is angry, their heart beats faster and their blood pressure goes up,” says Howard Kassinove, a professor at Hofstra University in New York. Over time, these changes take their toll on the body, he adds.
Experts suggest that people with an anger problem take anger-management programs. The programs teach people to control their responses to stressful situations through the use of relaxation techniques. The programs sometimes include life-skills training as well: increasing someone’s level of competence (競爭)– whether on the job or as a parent or partner – helps bring down stress and cut angry feelings.

Play is the basic business of childhood, and in recent years research has shown the great importance of play in the development of a human being. From earliest infancy（嬰兒）, every child needs opportunity and right materials for play, and the main tools of play are toys. The main function of toys is to suggest, encourage and play. To succeed in this, they must be good toys, which children will play with often, and will come back again and again. Therefore, it is important to choose suitable toys for different stages of a child’s development.
In recent years, research on baby development has shown that the standard a child is likely to reach, within the range of his inherited（遺傳的）abilities, is largely determined in the first three years of his life. So a baby’s ability to benefit from the right play materials should not be underestimated. A baby who is encouraged, talked to and shown things and played with, has the best chance of growing up successfully.
In the next stage, from three to five years old, curiosity knows no bounds. Every type of suitable toys should be made available to the child, for trying out, experimenting and learning, for discovering his own particular ability: Bricks and jigsaws（七巧板）and construction toys; painting, scribbling（涂鴉）and making things; sand and water play; toys for imaginative and pretending play—the first social games for learning to play and get on with others.
But at the third stage of play development—from five to seven or eight years old— the child is at school. But for a few more years play is still the best way of learning, at home or at school．It is easier to see which type of toys the child most enjoys.
Until the age of seven or eight, play and work mean much the same to a child．But once reading has been mastered, then books become the main source of learning. Toys are still interesting and valuable, which lead up to new hobbies, but their significance has changed to a child of nine or ten years old, toys and games mean, as to adults, relaxation and fun.
小題1: What does the writer want to tell us in the first paragraph?
Children should choose toys by themselves.
Children like playing, but they don’t need any toys.
Children should be given different toys as they grow up.
Children should be given the same toys as they grow up.
58．According to the passage, we can give the child every kind of toys ________．
A．when he is twoB．when he is around four
C．when he is six D．when he is eight
小題2:When a child is seven years old, what is the main source of learning?
A．Toys.B．Books.C．Jigsaws.D．Paintings.
小題3: What is the article mainly about?
A．The importance of schooling.
B．The choice of toys for children.
C．The importance of pre-school education.
D．The role of play in a child’s development.

  Height is just one of the thousands of features your genes decide. In fact, because you have two parents, your genes provide you a height that usually lands somewhere between the height of each parent. If both your parents are tall, then most probably you will be tall, too, but if you have questions about how tall you’re going to be, ask your doctor if he or she can help you find it out.
But genes don’t decide everything. For example, eating an unhealthy diet can keep you from growing to your full potential(潛力). Getting plenty of sleep and enough exercise will help you grow to the expected height.
No doubt you’re wondering how fast you should grow. It depends. There’s no perfect or right answer. Generally speaking, kids grow about 2 inches (6 centimeters) a year between age 3 and the time when they start puberty (when your body starts changing and becoming more grown up).
Your doctor will know how your growth has been going over the years. Two centimeters here and 2 inches there are not nearly as important as the height you’re at now, how you’ve been growing up to this point, and what other changes your body may be going through.
Don’t be scared if you seem to have grown a lot in a very short time. Everyone has a growth spurt（高峰）during puberty. The age for starting puberty is about 10 for girls and about 11 for boys. But it can be earlier or later ----between 7 and 13 for girls and 9 and 15 for boys.
You’ll usually begin to notice that you’re growing faster about a year or so after your body starts to show the first changes of puberty. 
小題1:. The Chinese for the word “puberty” is 　　　　　　　　　.
A．童年時期B．嬰幼兒時期C．習慣養(yǎng)成期D．生長發(fā)育期
小題2: If you want to know how fast and how tall you should grow, _____.
A．you should have enough exerciseB．you can ask doctors for help
C．you should save the environmentD．You can record your growth during puberty
小題3: This passage is mainly about 　　　　　　　　　.
A．how the genes work in your bodyB．when is the time you grow fast
C．why you look like your parentsD．how you grow to a certain height
小題4: After reading this passage, we can explain 　　　　　　　　　.
A．how good it is to be a doctorB．how much sleep time we need
C．why genes can’t decide everythingD．what healthy diet is
小題5: Which is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A．Your height most probably depends on how high your parents are.
B．Girls’ age for starting puberty is usually earlier than that for boys’.
C．The time showing the first changes of puberty is never noticed.
D．You may be scared sometimes when you grow too fast.

If we want to deal with the association(社交) between boys and girls properly, here are some “dos and don’ts” for you to follow.
Keep a normal and healthy state of mind. Our schools and classes are made up of boys and girls. It is very nature for the boys and girls to make friends with each other. We should make as many friends as possible. We should keep touch with the other sex(性別) in public instead of in secret.
Don’t be too nervous or too shy. If you are a shy person, you can also find a way out. First of all, you can make friends with the students who have the same interest and hobby as you. As both of you have much in common, you may have much to talk about. If you keep doing like that, little by little, you will gladly find you are also as free to express yourself as others.
Don’t fall into the ditch of early love. The boys and girls at a adolescence (青春期) are rich in feeling. They are easy to regard the friendship as a sign of love and fall in love with each other at an early age. In my opinion, early love is a green apple that can’t be eaten. An apple won’t taste sweet until it is full ripe. Boys and girls at middle school are too young to carry the heavy duty of love. Do keep out of early love.
小題1:We should keep touch with the other sex in following ways EXCEPT _______.
A．with a good state of mindB．in real friendship
C．in publicD．in secret
小題2:What does the underlined word “ditch” mean?
A．波浪B．泥潭C．圈套D．迷惑
小題3:The main idea of the passage is to _______.
A．tell students to keep away from early love
B．tell students how to make friends
C．teach boys how to talk with girls
D．give some advice on how to associate between boys and girls

Lion is a special animal to Chinese people. A couple of stone lions, a male (雄性) and a female (雌性), can often be seen in front of the gates of old buildings. The male lion is on the left with his right paw (手掌) on a ball, and the female on the right. And her left paw is touching a baby animal.

閱讀短文，根據(jù)內(nèi)容判斷正誤。正確的選“A”，錯誤的選“B”
Blogs (博客) are the place where young people go to reveal(釋放) their souls（靈魂）. Many people enjoy the freedom in blogging. Some, however, find that putting one’s life online can have a price. Some students in America got suspensions (暫停) because on their blogs they posted threatening words to their teachers.
Recent surveys found that nearly one fifth of teens who have access to the Web have their own blogs. And 38% of teens say they read other people’s blogs. By comparison, about a tenth of adults have their own blogs and a quarter say they read other people’s online journals.
With the development of the Internet, more and more people will be engaged in blogging.
In another survey, 79% of teens agreed that people at their age aren’t careful enough when giving out information about themselves online. Besides, careless blogging can also affect blog viewers. When you are angry or frustrated, your blog is the first place you turn to. The words you post then may not be rational which you may regret(后悔) later. To reduce the negative effect, change the permission setting and make such posts “private” so that only you can read them.
As long as you are careful with what you post, blogging is a great means of staying in touch with friends and displaying one’s creative works.
小題1:      Blogs are the place where people go online to express themselves freely.
小題2:     The fact that some American students got suspensions is used to show that people should not put their life online. 

20070212

 
小題3:      The underline word “rational” in the fifth paragraph probably means reasonable（合理的）.

小題4:     The passage is mainly about advantages and disadvantages of blogs.
小題5:     Recent surveys found that over 50％ of teens who have access to the Web have their    own blogs.
