21、How to Stop Being Angry?
Anger is the most harmful emotion. When you are in a temper, you make rush or ill-considered decisions that you will probably regret. You will also regret terrible language spoken without thought. Anger arrives quickly, in response to an event, action, or wrong remarks.【1】You might feel long-burning anger that ruins your spirit, destroys all your good intentions, and causes you to become an unpleasant person. Here are some ways that you can help you better handle anger.
Firstly, you need to change your attitude to the way the world works. No one is perfect. Also, you need to accept that not everyone has the same standards as you, nor will they behave in the same way that you would in a given situation.【2】You have to accept that sometimes things do go wrong and that people are not always lovely.
【3】Martin Luther King was angry about the lack of civil rights in the USA. Gandhi was angry about British domination in. India. They both used that anger to motivate themselves to fight against what they saw as injustice. Taking action can help to reduce the feelings of anger as you see progress towards your final goal.
Try to get to the root cause of your anger.【4】Is it worry or stress making you angry? Are you fearful of failure? Are you unhappy? Once you know why you get mad, then it is possible to deal with the cause. Taking positive steps towards solving the underlying problem will help you overcome feelings of anger.
In conclusion, you must recognize that anger is something you can control. That control will come once you identify what is at the root of your anger. Make changes to your lifestyle and attitudes, and you will find that you will turn angry much less often, if at all. Angry people are not nice people.【5】
A．Anger can be used to fuel action.
B．By contrast, anger is slow to pass.
C．When doing this, be honest with yourself.
D．Anger is really a bad habit that is hard to break.
E．This applies to work, day-to-day life, and relationships.
F．When you lose temper, you may do more harm to yourself than good.
G．They will fail to achieve more often than those people who are calm and considerate.
22、The Enduring Appeal of Peter Rabbit
“I don’t know what to write to you, so I shall tell you a story about four little rabbits, whose names were Flopsy, Mopsy, Cottontail and Peter,” wrote Beatrix Potter, an English writer, illustrator, natural scientist, and conservationist in 1893, in a letter to a little boy who was suffering from a serious infectious disease.
Like many children-story authors, Potter was not a writer by profession. Her chief enthusiasm was natural history. Childhood family holidays in Perthshire and the Lake District had given her the freedom to experience the natural world first-hand. 【1】 Owing to Potter’s illustrations, the humanized rabbits seemed to exist in a recognizably real place. As Potter once admitted, the “careful botanical studies of my youth” informed the reality of her fantasy drawings. 【2】 In these images, Peter in the vegetable garden ate radishes (萝卜) or jumped off the wall.
The Tale of Peter Rabbit was first published by Frederick Warne in 1902. 【3】 However, Warne disagreed. Only after Potter had the book privately published did Warne change his mind. It was an immediate success, much to Potter’s surprise. “The public must be fond of rabbits! What a shocking quantity of Peter,” she said. The original tales, under the Warne imprint, are still available today.
【4】 In 1903, she registered a Peter Rabbit doll, making him the first fictional character to be made into a patented stuffed toy. After that, there were licensed wallpapers, board games and painting books. She earned large amounts of money. After her death, almost all her property was left to the National Trust.
A．Potter surely had a business mind.
B．A decade later, with slight adjustments, the lines formed the opening to what became the bestselling.
C．It was this experience that gave Peter Rabbit its unique atmosphere of believable wonder.
D．Potter was determined that the book should be small enough to fit into a child’s hands and inexpensive.
E．She spent holidays in the Lake District, developing a love of landscape, which she closely observed and painted.
F．Though her later stories would contain more strikingly detailed illustrations, The Tale of Peter Rabbit has charming pictures of its naughty hero.
23、 It was the end of a long, tiring week of work and I was desperately in need of some positive feedback. More specifically, I was in search of those sweet dialogues: The compliment. As none seemed to be upcoming, I decided that I would create an accidental one. Then I ordered a pizza to be delivered instead of laboring in the kitchen after such a long week.
After dinner was delivered and consumed, I gathered my family in the living room to watch an old film version of “A Christmas Carol”, hoping that they would complain about the plain food I ordered. We got to the part in the movie where Bob Cratchitt describes what Christmas dinner will be like to his wife and family.
“It will be a PERFECT dinner.” Then, turning to his son, he says, “Won’t it, Tim?”
Tiny Tim agrees enthusiastically. “Oh, yes, Father. It will be the best one in all of Londontown!”
I just had to speak up at this point. There was no sense in waiting for a compliment. I was getting impatient, so I used the direct approach.
“Well, at least Mrs. Cratchitt’s meals get noticed.”
Jeffrey, lying on the sofa, turned his head around. “OK. Mom, that PIZZA you PHONED in tonight was GREAT!!”
“It was the finest pizza in all of Londontown, my dear!” Walter cut in.
OK, the point was well taken: I did phone for the delivery of the pizza. But does that deny the dinners I cooked after working a full day in the previous weeks and months? Finally I realized that sometimes it just doesn’t pay to fish for compliments; sometimes you hook yourself with your own bait (诱饵).
【1】What does the underlined word “compliment” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A．Praise.
B．Comment.
C．Greetings.
D．Congratulations.
【2】Why did the author get the family to watch the film?
A．To get relaxed.
B．To criticize them.
C．To gain some positive feedback.
D．To talk about “A Christmas Carol”.
【3】What can be inferred from the author’s family dialogue?
A．She had to pay to get praised.
B．The family were hooked on the film.
C．Her kids disliked takeaway food.
D．The food she cooked wasn’t appreciated.
【4】Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Watching a Film
B．An Impatient Mother
C．A Tiring Weekend
D．Fishing For a Compliment
24、Reading is essential but how can one choose the right books to read and where can one find them? A few famous people may give you some helpful tips.
● Read books from past eras.
【1】 Otherwise, you’d be “completely dependent on the prejudices and fashions of your times,” just as Alert Einstein put it. “Somebody who reads only newspapers and books of contemporary authors looks to me like an extremely near-sighted person who dislikes eyeglasses,” he said.
● 【2】
Reading too wide a variety in too short a time would keep the teachings from leaving a lasting impression on you. Seneca the Younger, a first-century Roman philosopher, suggested that “you must linger (流连) among a limited number of master thinkers, and digest their works, if you would obtain ideas which shall win firm hold in your mind.”
● Shop at secondhand bookstores.
Virginia Woolf believed the works in secondhand bookstores have an attraction which the usual volumes of the library lack. Browsing through these books gives you the chance to run into something that wouldn’t have risen to the attention of librarians and booksellers. 【3】
● Check out authors’ reading lists.
In his 1940 guide How to Read a Book, American philosopher Mortimer J. Adler talked about how to choose books. He attached importance to those that other authors consider worth reading. 【4】 Mortimer wrote that “one way to understand them is to read the books they read.”
● Make the final decision by yourself.
【5】 It’s you yourself who should choose what, how and when to read. Theodore Roosevelt recommended choosing books on subjects that interest you and letting your mood guide you to your next great read.
A．Interest is the best teacher.
B．Great authors are great readers.
C．Leave some room for older works.
D．Learn more about those great authors.
E．Don’t jump too quickly from book to book.
F．There’s no “best books” list that everyone should follow.
G．Usually they are much more selective in organizing their collections than secondhand book owners.
