Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Some explode with anger, and scream and shout. But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing anger.
Many doctors think that repressing anger is more dangerous to a person’s health than expressing it. They say that when a person is angry, the brain gives out the same hormones (荷尔蒙) as that are produced during tense and nervous situations. They speed the heart rate and raise blood pressure, so the person feels excited and ready to act. Repressing these feelings will only make the feelings continue, and this can lead to many medical problems. To prevent these problems, these doctors suggest letting the anger out by expressing it freely. But recently some other doctors question this. They say that people who express anger repeatedly and violently become, in fact, more but not less angry. And this could cause medical problems.
However, some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger strongly may be more likely to develop heart diseases, and that those who keep their anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure.
Doctors say the solution is to learn how to deal with anger. The first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, and then to decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is, do not express your anger while angry. Wait until your anger has cooled down, and express yourself calmly and reasonably. Doctors also say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry, for laughter is much healthier than anger.

5）According to the passage, which of the following is true?

What are baseball fans? Baseball fans wear their official team T-shirts and jackets everywhere, sometimes even to work. Then, whenever the team offers a free item, the fans rush to get it. In addition, baseball fans cover the walls of their rooms with their favorite players’ pictures. When they go to a game, which they do as often as possible, the true baseball fans put on their team colors, grab their team flags, pin on their team buttons. At the game, these fans form a section, constantly encouraging their favorite players and enthusiastically responding to every cheer flashed on the electronic scoreboard.
Baseball fans, in addition to behaving crazily, are also extremely interested in things of small importance. Every day, they turn to the sports page of the newspaper and study last night’s statistics. Their bookshelves are full of books and newspapers with information of their team. They delight in remembering such unimportant facts as who is left-handed and what food their favorite player likes.
Last of all, baseball fans are extremely loyal to the team of their choice. This strong loyalty makes fans dangerous, for anyone who dares to say to a loyal fan that some other team is better could be risking physical damage. Incidents of violence on the baseball field have increased in recent years and are a matter of growing concern.
From mid-October through March, baseball fans are like any other human beings. They pay their taxes, take out the garbage, and complain about the high cost of living or the latest home repair. But when April comes, the colors and radios go on, the record books come off the shelves, and the devotion returns. For the true baseball fan, another season of craziness has begun.

10）
According to the passage, when is the baseball season in the year?

There is now a growing belief that fathers, do play an important role in raising children and do leave a deep mark on their daughters, not just their sons. It is now believed that regardless of their age, daughters who have meaningful, comfortable relationships with their fathers are generally more self-confident and independent, have better relationships with men, are less depressed (沮丧), have fewer eating disorders and drug or alcohol problems and achieve more in school and at work. And the easier it is for a daughter to communicate with her father, the more she enjoys being with him and gets more out of the relationship. On the other hand, girls who grow up with absent or emotionally-distant fathers seek acceptance from others, sometimes much older males.
In his book Fathers & Daughters, William S. Appleton writes about his thoughts from 20 years’ experience as a psychiatrist (精神科医生) treating troubled women who have identified their fathers as a contributing factor to their adult unhappiness as well as success. He found out that their fathers’ influence deeply colors their careers and private lives. “The father’s role in a daughter’s life is invaluable in shaping her future male-female relationships,” says Dr. Appleton. “Whether they are aware of it or not, females tend to (倾向于) pattern such relationships after the model set by their fathers. Dad is the typical example in a girl’s life of how she should be treated by males.”
Dr. Meg Meeker, a pediatrician (儿科医生) with more than 20 years’ experience advising girls and author of the book Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters: 10 Secrets Every Father Should Know, reveals that a young woman’s relationship with her father is far more important than we’ve ever realized. In her book, she explains the important role fathers play in the lives of their daughters and how they can best use that role to develop strong moral values and healthy self-images in their daughters. To become a strong, confident woman, a daughter needs her father’s attention, protection, courage, and wisdom.

5）The author mentions the professions of Dr. Appleton and Dr. Meeker mainly because he wants to _ _.

Like death and taxes, there is no escaping color. That is, it seems to be everywhere. Yet what does it all mean? Why are people more relaxed in green rooms? Why do weightlifters do their best in blue gyms?
Colors often have different meanings in various cultures. And even in Western societies, the meanings of various colors have changed over the years. But today researchers have generally found the following to be accurate.
Black is the color of power. It is popular in fashion because it makes people appear thinner. It is also stylish and timeless. Black also implies submission (顺从). Priests（牧师） wear black to show submission to God. But black clothes can also be overpowering.
Brides wear white as a symbol of purity. White reflects light and is considered a summer color. White is popular in fashion because it is light and goes with everything. Doctors and nurses wear white to imply that they are clean.
As the most emotionally strong color, red stimulates a faster heartbeat and breathing. It is also the color of love. Red clothing gets noticed and makes the wearer appear heavier. Red cars are popular targets for thieves.
The color of the sky and the ocean, blue causes the opposite reaction (反应) as red. Peaceful blue causes the body to produce calming chemicals, so it is often used in bedrooms. Fashion advisors recommend wearing blue to job interviews because it stands for loyalty (忠诚).People are more productive in blue rooms. Studies show weightlifters are able to handle heavier weights in blue gyms.
Currently the most popular decorating color, green symbolizes nature. It is the easiest color on the eye and can improve vision (视力). It is a calming color. People waiting to appear on TV sit in “green rooms” to relax. Hospitals often use green because it relaxes patients.
Sunny yellow is an attention getter. While it is considered a cheerful color, people lose their tempers more often in yellow rooms, and babies will cry more. It is the most difficult color for the eye to take in, so it can be overpowering if overused.
