gets

angry,

but

out-of-control

anger

isn't

good

for

you

or

those

around

you.

So

here

are

five

simple

strategies

to

help

you

learn

how

to

manage

your

anger:?

Relax.

Breathe

deeply,

from

your

stomach.36

Repeat

it

to

yourself

and

visualize

a

relaxing

time

and

experience.?

Change

the

way

you

think.

When

you're

angry,

your

thinking

can

get

exaggerated

(夸大的).

37

For

instance,

instead

of

telling

yourself,

“Oh,

it's

terrible!

Everything's

ruined,”

tell

yourself,

“It's

understandable

that

I'm

upset

about

it,

but

it's

not

the

end

of

the

world.”?

38

Statements

like

“This

never

works.”

or

“You're

always

forgetting

things.”

will

make

you

feel

your

anger

is

justified

(情有可原的)

and

there's

no

way

to

solve

the

problem.

They

might

upset

people

who

might

be

willing

to

work

with

you

on

a

solution.?

Have

a

better

communication.

Angry

people

tend

to

jump

to

conclusions.

If

you

are

in

a

heated

discussion,

slow

down.

39

And

take

your

time

before

answering.

Instead

of

saying

the

first

thing

that

comes

into

your

head,

think

carefully

about

what

you

want

to

say.?Usehumor.Psychologistssaythathighlyangrypeopletendtothink“thingsoughttogomyway!”“Sillyhumor”canhelpyougetamorebalancedperspective.So,whenyoufeelthatangercomingthenexttime,pictureyourselfasakingorqueen,walkingaround,admiredbyeverybody,andgettingyourownwayineverysituation.Themoredetailyoucangetintoyourimaginary

scenes,

the

more

likely

it

is

to

put

a

smile

on

your

face.

40A.?Try

replacing

these

thoughts

with

more

reasonable

ones.B.?Listen

carefully

to

what

the

other

person

is

saying.C.?Be

careful

with

words

like

“never”

or

“always”.D.?Avoid

using

these

strategies

when

you're

in

a

tense

situation.E.?Try

changing

the

topics

so

your

talks

won't

turn

into

arguments.F.?Then

slowly

repeat

a

calm

word

or

phrase

such

as

“take

it

easy”.G.?Thatwillhelpyourealizethatthethingsyou'reangryaboutarereallynotveryimportant.第三部分英語知識運用（共兩節(jié)，滿分45分）第一節(jié)完形填空（共20小題；每小題1.5分，滿分30分）閱讀下面短文，從短文后各題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。A
