26、Everybody 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. 【1】 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). 【2】 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.”
• 【3】 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. 【4】 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.
• Use humor. Psychologists say that highly angry people tend to think “things ought to go my way!” “Silly humor” can help you get a more balanced perspective. So, when you feel that anger coming the next time, picture yourself as a king or queen, walking around, admired by everybody, and getting your own way in every situation. The more detail you can get into your imaginary scenes, the more likely it is to put a smile on your face. 【5】
A．Be careful with words like “never” or “always”.
B．Listen carefully to what the other person is saying.
C．Try replacing these thoughts with more reasonable ones.
D．Avoid using these strategies when you're in a tense situation.
E．Then slowly repeat a calm word or phrase such as “take it easy”.
F．Try changing the topics so your talks won't turn into arguments.
G．That will help you realize that the things you're angry about are really not very important.
27、阅读理解。
Today, roller skating is easy and fun. But a long time ago, it wasn’t easy at all. Before 1750, the idea of skating didn’t exist. That changed because of a man named Joseph Merlin. Merlin’s work was making musical instruments. In his spare time he liked to play the violin. Joseph Merlin was a man of ideas and dreams. People called him a dreamer.
One day Merlin received an invitation to attend a fancy dress ball. He was very pleased and a little excited. As the day of the party came near, Merlin began to think how to make a grand entrance at the party. He had an idea. He thought he would get a lot of attention if he could skate into the room.
Merlin tried different ways to make himself roll. Finally, he decided to put two wheels under each shoe. These were the first roller skates. Merlin was very proud of his invention and dreamed of arriving at the party on wheels while playing the violin.
On the night of the party Merlin rolled into the room playing his violin. Everyone was greatly surprised to see him. There was just one problem. Merlin had no way to stop his roller skates. He rolled on and on. Suddenly, he ran into a huge mirror that was hanging on the wall. Down fell the mirror, breaking to pieces. Nobody forgot Merlin’s grand entrance for a long time!
【1】The text is mainly about __________.

28、When was the last time you did something that gave you a genuine sense of achievement?
For me it was last week, when I hung a picture on the wall. I know, it sounds a little crazy. But it was an easy project that I’d put off for too long.
As accomplishments go, this wasn’t up there with achieving world peace, curing the incurable or running a marathon. Yet that feeling of genuine accomplishment is something that I fear we’re beginning to lose today. Now more than ever, we live in a world of instant gratitude, aided by ever-present digital devices that only feed the desire. News headlines, sports scores and the latest gossip are all a finger-swipe away on our smartphones. In this digital parallel universe, our sense of achievement has become defined by the number of positive reactions we get from posting a cool picture or making a brief comment.
Just to be clear, I don’t have a problem with digital devices, apps or social media; I use them every day. Together they’ve helped us connect with others, solve problems and get things done in ways almost no one could have ever imagined. But the problem is: they aren’t very personally fulfilling.
So how do we arrive at that genuine sense of achievement, whether it’s at work or our personal life? Daniel Pink, a noted author on work, management and behavioral science, has an interesting theory. When it comes to anything but the most basic tasks, we aren’t very motivated by the “traditional” motivators of fear, money or rewards. Instead, the factors include autonomy, mastery, and purpose. Autonomy represents our desire to be self-directed –to do what we want to do, when and how we want to do it; mastery refers to an essential urge to better our skills and derive satisfaction from doing so; and purpose is our desire to do something that is important and has true meaning, either to ourselves or to others.
By tapping into these internal motivators, even unconsciously, we can accomplish great things, like exploring new hobbies or dreams; becoming passionate about our work; and deriving satisfaction from what we do and wanting to do more.
We don’t need to achieve world peace or run a marathon to feel a sense of personal achievement. Anything will do—even hanging a few pictures on the wall. But it needs to start by putting our devices aside, at least for a little while.
【1】According to the passage, the reason why we are beginning to lose the sense of accomplishment is that _________.
A．it’s easy for the masses to make a quick and positive comment
B．most people fear they can hardly make any accomplishment
C．people tend to express their instant and artificial gratitude through the Internet
D．the digital age has influenced our definition of the sense of achievement
【2】What can be inferred from the passage?
A．The author is used to putting off a project for too long.
B．Though not personally satisfactory, digital devices are somewhat helpful.
C．The author objected to addressing issues with digital devices, apps or social media.
D．Achieving world peace or curing the incurable goes beyond what we call achievement.
【3】The “internal motivators” in paragraph 6 refer to _________.
A．fear, money and rewards
B．hobbies, dreams and passion
C．autonomy, mastery and purpose
D．work, management and behavioral science
【4】What’s the author’s opinion on the sense of personal achievement?
A．With digital devices, it is easy to obtain the sense of personal achievement
B．Without social media, it is impossible to obtain the sense of personal achievement.
C．With Internet, personal achievement can only be obtained through great success.
D．Without digital devices, the sense of personal achievement can be obtained in daily tasks.
29、For many kids, the Internet is at their fingertips. From computers to smartphones, a web of information is open to them. According to a new report from the Pew Research Centre, about three out of four kids aged 12 to 15 connect the Internet using a mobile device from time to time. Many younger kids are online too.
Julian Zeitlinger, 9, from New Jersey, uses his computer to watch videos and play games. To keep him safe online, his parents monitor his web use and discuss Internet safety with him. “I ask my parents if something is wrong.” Julian says. Mobile devices offer more ways than ever to share personal information. The information can be dangerous in the wrong hands. A study found that 62% of children aged 8 to 17 have had an unpleasant online experience.
Have you ever had to enter a parent’s e-mail address when signing up for a website? That safety measure is there because of the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). The law says sites for kids under 13 cannot collect personal information, such as a phone number or full name, without a parent’s permission.
This July, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) will update COPPA for the first time since the law was created in 1998 when there were no smartphones. “The nature of the way kids get online has changed,” FTC lawyer Phyllis Marcus said. When the changes take effect, COPPA will apply to mobile devices and newer forms of advertising. It will expand what falls under “personal information” to include videos, photographs and services that give out users location.
COPPA doesn’t cover everything that can go wrong online. That’s why kids and parents need to know what to look out for and to stop and think before sharing information online.
“Many people now misunderstand that if a site is following. COPPA, it is totally safe,” says privacy expert Shai Samet. He runs KidSAFE, which checks if a site meets KidSAFE standards and is safe. “It’s important that kids know how useful the Internet is but that it can also be dangerous if you are not careful,” he adds.
【1】Julian’s parents check his web use to make sure_________.
A．he doesn’t watch too many videos
B．he doesn’t play computer games
C．he controls his online time
D．he stays safe on the Internet
【2】How does the author explain children’s unpleasant online experiences?
A．By describing his own experiences.
B．By showing differences.
C．By presenting scientific research.
D．By using examples.
【3】What is a common misunderstanding of the website?
A．Formal websites are always safe.
B．COPPA can ensure complete safety online.
C．The Internet is becoming safer and safer.
D．Daily checks prevent future online problems.
【4】What’s the main purpose of the text?
A．To ask parents to look out for their kids.
B．To offer tips on online safety.
C．To tell people to be careful online.
D．To introduce an online law.

The quiet hour could become the story hour. When the quiet hour _____, we may find it hard to ______ our newly-discovered activities and expect the next story time.
