What attitude would you have to disappointments in life? 【1】 Find out how a chair, a pair of sunglasses and other items can hold unexpected promise for controlling your anger.
1. 【2】
There’s a reason you’ve probably never gotten into an angry state of mind from a chair. W. Robert Nay, a clinical professor, says, “Our brains become conditioned to associate sitting and lying down with feeling relaxed.” That’s why it’s so easy to fall asleep on an airplane. Sitting down, Nay says, sends a message of safety and security to your brain.
2. Don’t get mad; get organized.
A study of nearly 11,000 subjects in 42 countries found that the key to hold back anger is preventing it in the first place. Spending a few minutes every morning to map out your day will go far in lowering anger and anxiety levels. The theory: 【3】
3. Keep your cool with a pair of shades.
Research in the journal Cognition & Emotion (情绪) found that when people walk in direct sun without sunglasses, the light causes them to feel depressed. 【4】 Study co-author Daniele Marzoli suggests seeking shade during heated exchanges: “Compared outdoor, indoor conversations have more friendly interactions.”
4. Handle anger in a sensible way.
We are busy working all day as if running a car on the high way. But remember: remind yourself to brake at any time in case of sudden crash. When you’ re in anger, say to yourself, “Why am I angry? Is it necessary?” 【5】 It’s useful to handle problems.
A. Take a seat right now.
B. Don’t be an angry bird.
C. Well begun is half done.
D. You’re suddenly a crazy angry person.
E. Effective time management keeps you on track, avoiding stress.
F. When attention is transferred, blind emotion will be controlled.
G. Those who walked unshaded against the rays had increased aggressiveness scores.

As the old saying goes, “Don't judge a book by its cover.\” And neither should we judge movie stars by their ages.
At just 21, Elle Fanning made history by becoming the youngest jury (评审团) member at the Cannes Film Festival. This year it lasted from May 14th to May 25th. “I was in complete shock when I got that phone call and that question if I wanted to be a member of the Cannes Jury，\” Fanning said during a press conference.
As it turned out, it not only shocked the US actress, but also brought criticism from those who believed Fanning was too young compared to other veterans in the industry. But Fanning's acting experience was in fact a good argument for her jury membership. In fact, Fanning has been a Hollywood fixture for longer than you realize.
The 21－year－old has been in many big productions. She began acting in I AM Sam at age 3. With lead roles in movies like Super 8, We Bought a Zoo and Maleficent under her belt, she's appeared in 60 projects and is one of Hollywood's hottest young stars. Fanning's devotion to work numbers her among the few former child stars who continue to act as adults.
In her latest movie Teen Spirit, which hit US cinemas last month, Fanning plays a pop singer. Since she had no singing experience, Fanning had to work with Grammy－winning music producer Marius de Vries for three months before the filming started. “I would go to his apartment and sing through all the songs every day，\” she said. “He videoed me and recorded me singing everything and made me watch it back again and again to improve my skills.\”
With such rich acting experience and devotion to her art, Fanning certainly was able to “represent a new class in film\” at the Cannes Film Festival.

A mother, Carrie Cort, 51, from Sussex, and her nine-year-old son have been named the UK’s most environmentally friendly family after winning an award for their environmental achievements.
Now every aspect of her life is environmentally friendly, from her son Adam’s birthday parties to her clothing, and she recycles everything from empty pens to milk bottle tops. “Changing our family lifestyle to green has saved us around £ 11, 000 every year, which has given us more financial stability,” Carrie says. “Living green has made us healthier and I feel younger now. It is fun seeing what you can make with unwanted or broken things. Growing your own food is great exercise, good for wildlife, and the food is much more nutritious and tastier.”
“My concern for the way we humans are treating the planet was really roused in 2008 when Adam was born. When he arrived, I suddenly had this huge, greater awareness of the kind of planet we’re bringing our children into though I learnt something about it in university.” She began going to talks, reading books, watching documentaries and attending green meetings in order to educate herself in the details of green living.
Carrie set up the local campaign group Sussex Green Living six years after her son’s birth. Later, she gave up her high-powered job, as she ran a video company with her brother, to do her job full-time. Today, she organizes talks and workshops. She runs a repair café, where people can bring everything to be fixed. Her recycling program helps people reuse wastes. Toothpaste tubes, for example, which Carrie sends to the Philippines, are turned into purses by an organization. “My goal is to inspire more people to lead greener, more environmentally friendly lives, to enable us to live in greater harmony with nature, now and for future organizations. I achieve this using various Sussex Green Living communication programs and working with other organizations who have the same goals and values.”
【1】How did Carrie feel about her environmentally friendly lifestyle?
A. unwanted. B. unhealthy. C. expensive. D. economical.
【2】Which of the following is true about Carrie?
A. She made good preparations for living green.
B. She recycled what people ignored for fun.
C. She does daily exercise by growing food.
D. She majored in planet protection in university.
【3】When did Carrie begin to form her environmentally friendly lifestyle?
A. After winning an award.
B. After giving birth to her son.
C. After being stuck in poverty.
D. After attending green meetings
【4】What does Carrie rely on to make her achievements?
A. Her repair café and workshops.
B. Her own programs and others’ work.
C. Her well-paid job and her brother’s support.
D. Her independence of realizing her green dream.

I never soon the night nor seen a star; I’ve seen neither spring nor fall nor winter. I was born at the end of the Reining Age(刹车时代), just as the Earth’s rotation(旋转)was coming to a final stop.
The Reining lasted for 42 years, three years longer than the Unity Government had planned. My mother once told me about the time our family witnessed the last sunset. The Sun had ever so slowly crept toward the horizon, almost as if it had stopped moving altogether. In the end, it took three days and three nights to finally set. Naturally, that was the end of all “days” and all “nights”. The Eastern Hemisphere(半球)was covered in weak light for a long time then, perhaps for a dozen years or so - with the Sun hiding just beyond the horizon - its rays reflected by half of the sky. It was during that long sunset that I was born.
Dusk did not mean darkness. The Northern Hemisphere was lit up by the Earth Engines. These giant engines had been raised all across Asia and North America; only the solid plates beneath those two continents could resist the great pushing forces they exerted. There were about 12,000 Earth Engines built and distributed across the Asian and American plains.
From my home 1 could see the bright plasma plumes(等离子气柱)of several hundred Earth Engines. Just imagine a titanic palace, one as large as the Parthenon on the Acropolis. Now imagine countless titanic pillars rising from that palace, reaching to the heavens, each releasing brilliant, bluish-white light like a titanic shining tube. And then there is you; you are a microbe on the palace’s floor. This only begins to paint the picture of the world we lived in.
This picture, however, is not yet complete. In order to survive the melting temperature of the expanding sun, we have to push the Earth away from it. First, the Earth must be stopped from rotating. Only the forces acting tangentially(正切地)to the Earth’s rotation could slow it, so the Earth Engines had to be built to a specific angle. Those gigantic pillars of light were leaning to that angle. Now imagine what that meant for our palace, with its pillars all leaning on the point of falling down! Many who came from the Southern Hemisphere went mad when suddenly seeing this awesome view.
Worse than the view was the burning heat released by the Earth Engines. Outdoors the temperature was stuck at around 160 to 180 degrees, forcing us to wear special suits just to leave the house. The extremely high temperatures often brought pouring rains. It was always a terrifying scene when the beam of an Earth Engine cut through dark clouds. The clouds scattered the brilliant, bluish-white light of the beam, erupting it into endless rainbow light that covered the entire sky like white-hot magma(岩浆).
To my generation, born in the Northern Hemisphere, all of this was perfectly normal and natural, just like the Sun, stars and Moon had been to generations before the Reining Age. We called the entire history of the human race that had come before us the Pre-Solar Age; what a fascinating and golden era that had truly been!
The Reining Age left the earth with a horrifying result. The sea tides, quickened by the Earth Engines, had swallowed two out of every three cities in the Northern Hemisphere; then the global increase in temperatures melted the polar icecap, resulting in floods that spread to the Southern Hemisphere. Thirty years earlier my grandfather had witnessed giant 300-foot waves that had engulfed Shanghai. Even now, he could never tell us about it without his gaze slipping into a thousand-mile stare.
Our planet had already changed beyond recognition before it even set out on its journey. Who knew what hardships were waiting for us on our long travels through outer space?
【1】What happened when the author was born?
A. The earth had stopped turning for forty-two years.
B. The sun was making its last fall towards the horizon.
C. All the Earth Engines had not been finished.
D. His family were suffering from the summer hotness.
【2】Which of the following about the Earth Engines is right?
A. They were built in Asia and North America due to their huge number and weight.
B. Their light and heat provided necessary energy for people to survive.
C. They were all built to point straight upward to the sky to stop the earth rotating.
D. Their existence brought both opportunities and inconvenience to people on the earth.
【3】What can we infer from the last three paragraphs?
A. People born in the Southern Hemisphere could enjoy four different seasons.
B. The author missed his Pre-Solar Age lifestyle very much.
C. Grandfather would never forget the scene of Shanghai being swallowed.
D. The author was discouraged but optimistic about the future of the earth.
