Anger is a kind of feeling . When your teacher gives you too much homework, when your team loses an important game, when a friend borrows your favorite thing and then breaks it, you may get angry.

. For example, you breathe faster, your face turns red, and you may want to break something or hit someone, but sometimes you hide your anger. For example, you may hide it in your heart. The problem is that if you do this, you may get a headache or your stomach may hurt.

In fact, it's not good to hide your anger, and it's normal for you to get angry sometimes. . When you get angry, you can talk about it with adults, such as parents, teachers, etc . Here are some other things you can do when you start to feel angry: count from 1 to 100;give someone a hug go for a bike ride; think about good things, etc.

Remember that when you are angry, how you act can make everything better or worse .

In Britain, people usually begin their talks with weather. For example, they will say"It's a fine day, isn't it?""Do you think it will rain?"

Many people believe that they are able to tell what the weather will be like. But they never agree with each other. One man may say, "How cloudy (阴的) it is now! It's going to rain." Another man will say, "No, it's going to be fine later."

People always hope the weather they want. For example, when a farmer needs water, he looks for something to tell him it's going to rain. When a man wants to travel, he is sure the weather will be fine quickly.

Now almost everyone listens to the weather report. It doesn't always tell us the weather we want, it only tells us what the weather will be like. But sometimes it makes mistakes(错误).

    Romero has already reached the top of six other world famous high mountains. He climbed the first-Africa's Kilimanjaro(乞力马扎罗山)-with his parents when he was 10.

    Jordan said he had the idea of climbing those mountains when he saw a painting in his school. The painting showed all seven mountains.

    "I just wanted to do something big, and this was some- thing I wanted to do for myself," he said.

    His father, Paul, is an experienced mountain climber. But he said the idea was his son's. "We're just packing(收拾) the bags, going after him around the world," Paul said.

    Mount Qomolangma is 8,844 metres high. Jordan would climb with his parents and two guides. He said they would not take big risks(冒险). They would turn around if they saw problems such as bad weather. He hopes to reach the top by May.

    "This may be the first of many tries," he said. "It could take a few years, but I've made up my mind to do it. If I don't reach the top this time, I will try next time."

    The youngest person to climb Qomolangma until now was Temba Tsheri, 16, from Nepal(尼泊尔),in 2001.

Many girls in Jenny's class think it's great to have elder brothers. But Jenny doesn't think so. She thinks her elder brother is very unfair(不公平的）. He says she can't watch TV late in the evening and she can't play with his computer when he's not at home. And he calls her "Baby"! Jenny would like to have an elder sister. She thinks it would be great to go shopping with her. And she would help her with her homework.

Benny has a sister Laura. Laura is sixteen. Benny likes her and she likes him, too. When she has no homework, she plays cards with him. But not at weekends. She goes out with her friends on weekends.

Benny's best friend is Phill. He lives with his parents. He has no brothers or sisters, but he has two lovely dogs. In the afternoon he often goes to the park with them. There they can run and play.

Janet is the girl Benny likes best. She lives next door to Benny's home. She has an elder sister. Her name's Emily. And she has three younger brothers. They always make a lot of noise（噪音）. So Janet often comes to Benny's home to watch TV or play games.

Many people like to travel(旅游) by plane, but I don't like it because an airport is usually far from the city. You have to get there early and wait(等候) for hours for the plane to take off (起飞)and it is often late. Planes are quick, but they still take hours to get out of the airport and into the city.

I like traveling by train. I think trains are safe(安全的). The stations are usually in cities. When you are late for a train you can catch another one. You can walk around in the train. You can see many interesting things on your way. I know it takes a little time.

I also like cars. You can start your journey(旅程) when you want to, and you don't need to get to a the station or a bus stop early. Also you can take many things with you in a car. But sometimes there are too many cars on the road(路).

根据短文内容选择最佳答案

①Have you ever shown your photos on your favorite social media （媒体）? Or have you expressed your feelings and emotions on your online page? If yes, do you know what you have posted on the social medias can cause problems you could not expect?

②Cathy, who is going to be fifteen, posted online an invitation to her birthday party with her address in it. And guess what! 500 people came to the party, and some even broke the windows and plants, making a total mess of the house. The girl's birthday party turned into a nightmare （噩梦）.

③Many teenagers （青少年）think they know everything about social media, and that such a thing could never happen to them. Studies show that each year more than three million young people in the world get into trouble because of their online activities.

④So do remember these if you really want to share something online.

⑤Share with care! Not everyone will like what you write online. Think before you post anything. You never know who sees your texts, pictures or videos. Before clicking "post", you should ask yourself, "How will I feel if my family or teachers see this?" and "How might this post be bad for me in five or ten years from now?"

⑥Be polite when you write! Imagine someone is unfriendly in real life. The same is true of online communication. No one likes it when you "shout" in your messages. If you feel angry or frustrated while you're writing a message, wait a bit. Read it again later and then send it.

⑦Protect and respect! Never share your passwords with anyone. It's not wise to post your home or email address online. Don't say bad things about people. If you get messages like that or see them online, talk to your parents or your teachers.

⑧ I'd say none of these things promises 100% online safety, but each will help you to be safer.

In August, 2021, some new rules came out to restrict (限制) young people's online game time. People under the age of 18 can only play online games three hours a week. Online game providers can offer only one-hour service to young people from 8 p. m. to 9 p. m. on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays. They are very popular with teachers and parents.

Zhang Zhe, a high school teacher in Nanjing, thinks online games influence students' studies a lot. At home, parents often find it hard to stop their children from playing them. What's worse, students might have no interest in developing friendship. "Students who become seriously addicted (上瘾的) to online games often find all kinds of excuses to play them. They also spend little on food or clothes to save their money for online games. So I think it is really necessary for the government to take action." said Wu Li, a teacher in Wuhan.

Mrs Wang, a mother of a high school student in Shanghai, used to have difficulty keeping her son away from online games, so she felt really glad when the new rules came out. "Whenever I tried to stop him, he got really angry. For several months, he even refused to talk to me." said Mrs Wang.

Thanks to the rules, students can have more time to take up new hobbies. To make sure that students develop healthier lifestyle (生活方式), schools, teachers and parents need to work closely to help young students find proper hobbies, and hold different after-school activities for them.

Noisy neighbors are a problem in a society where many people live closely together. And this can be the most important when you share walls, floors or ceilings with neighbors in a flat—noisy neighbor can make life challenging, especially if noise goes well into night, or happens during early morning hours. This situation needs to be dealt with properly, which needs your ability to keep calm.

First, you should try to tell your neighbors about the noise. This conversation should be polite and friendly. It can begin with words like "I am not sure you know that." Explain the problem in an honest way, and ask the neighbors to turn down the music, or not to hold parties until 3 a.m. You can also say that you realize they hear your noise too, and you're willing to try to stop anything in your behavior that is creating much noise.

You should know that not all neighbors are going to follow your requirements, and some may act in a bad manner. If the noisy neighbors don't change their behaviors, the next step should be to write the neighbors a letter. The letter should show your grievances (不满) and the dates when the noise was quite terrible. For example, if your neighbor has loud gatherings every Friday night that last into the early morning, then write down those dates.

When the noise remains going on, you should report it to local authorities (权力部门), or even call the police, when it is really necessary. Often, however, you can solve the problem when the noisy neighbor knows you are going to call the police.

Be aware that you can't always make noisy neighbors be quiet. When the noise remains going on, it is wise not to deal with it in an angry way. If you have completed the steps and letter don't start hitting walls or floors around in your home or turning up the music to make your neighbors angry. Just have patience and remember that communication is the most important.

John went to see his doctor one day, because he had a stomach ache for a long time. After checking John carefully, the doctor said, "Well, there's nothing wrong with you, I'm pleased to say.

In June 2019, Curtis Whitson, Krystal Ramirez and their son Hunter decided to go backpacking along California's Arroyo Seco River. Things went well for the first two days. On June 16, Whitson led the trip to a waterfall.

They had planned to use a rope(绳索)to come down the side of the waterfall. However, when they arrived there, Whitson found the water flowed (流动)too fast. To make matters worse, their rope was missing.

Since going back was dangerous as well, they tried to find other ways to get around the waterfall. But there was no other way out.

The three tried shouting each time they heard voices and even threw a stick. When neither worked, Whitson decided to carve (刻) a "HELP" message on the side of his water bottle. Before throwing it in the waterfall, he also put a dated note in it. He hoped that someone would find it. Then the three found an open place to camp for the night. Before sleeping, they put a blue floor cloth on the ground and spelled "SOS" out using white rocks. They also used a headlight to lighten the sign. After midnight, they heard a noise and woke up.
