However，the truth is that anger is just an emotion，and emotions are neither right nor wrong.We do not consciously choose them.We do，on the other hand，choose how we express our emotions and there are definitely right and wrong means of expression.The reason we're often urged to “keep_a_lid_on”our anger is that few people ever learn proper and positive ways to express anger.Instead，we are taught that “anger is wrong” and “you should keep your anger inside”．But these messages don't change the fact that，for most of us，anger exists.Many popular “Positive Thinking” programmes assume that success comes from “controlling our emotion” and that this can be done by simply repeating positive statements.Interestingly，these positive slogans often include a lot of negativity.“Only losers complain！I am a winner！” is one popular saying.The belief that those who disagree with us are losers is actually quite negative and is often used as an excuse for rude language and personal attacks.When it comes to dealing with negative situations in our daily lives，the ability to reasonably express anger or disagreement is an important skill.But we must use balanced and non-violent methods to express our dissatisfaction.Frustration at unfair policies or treatment can certainly cause anger，but our anger can never be an excuse for abusing family members，damaging schools，attacking doctors or most seriously，engaging in terrorism.Instead of pretending that anger doesn't exist，we should start teaching appropriate means of dealing with anger.When we experience anger feelings in ourselves or others，what we should “let go of” is the silly idea that we can remove anger with just a few sweet words.Instead，we should find reasonable solutions to the causes of those angry feelings.We need to accept anger as a naturalemotion but stop using it as an excuse for violent and destructive behavior.Anger isn't wrong，but failure to deal with it appropriately is.（1）What is the writer's opinion about the “Positive Thinking” movement?（）A. It can help people control their negative feelings.B. It does not offer useful solutions for dealing with anger.C. Following such advice can improve people's chances for success.D. Most of the people who participate in such programs are dishonest.（2）The underlined expression “keep a lid on” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to________．A. freely express B. always forgive C. hold inside D. completely forget （3）What information would have been useful to add to the final paragraph? （）A. The names of some good books that talk about anger issues.B. The viewpoints of people who hold the opposite opinion to the writer.C. Different studies that provide some evidence supporting the writer's belief.D. Some examples of how to deal with anger in a positive and beneficial way.（4）The content of this passage is mostly based on________．A. factB. opinionC. theoryD. story（二）There are a number of special days of the year that are celebrated in different countries. The origins of most of the days are unknown. They were certainly not created by individual people. Other days, however, especially those celebrated in western countries often owe their origins to a particular person. One of the most popular of these, even though it is fairly recent, is Mother's Day. Mothers have always been highly regarded in all cultures. The ancient Romans had a festival known as Hilaria, during which children took presents to the temple of the “Mother of the Gods”. TheChristian Church adopted this idea and called it Mothering Sunday. However, over the years this custom was gradually forgotten, and almost disappeared by the end of the 19th century.Born in 1864 in Virginia, US, Anna Jarvis was a school teacher and believed children should show gratitude(感激) to their mothers for all their love and care. Encouraged by a friend, she wrote to thousands of important people—politicians, churchmen, doctors, city officials and asked them to support her idea：a special day of the year for thanking mothers.In 1910 the Governor of Western Virginia introduced Mother's Day in the state. The date chosen was May 10 — the second Sunday in May, which is still observed in America today. This date was chosen because May 10 was the date on which in 1908 Anna Jarvis's mother died. In 1914 President Woodrow Wilson made May 10 the official date for Mother's Day throughout the United States.Soon there was a Mother's Day International Association and the custom began to be adopted in many countries of the world.Anna Jarvis, a sad and disillusioned (幻想破灭的) woman died in 1948.The custom she had worked so hard to establish and which had become almost universal had lost its original purpose. It had been taken over by business. As with Christmas, the giving of presents and the sending of cards had become a multi-million dollar industry.（1）The passage mainly tells us________.A. how Mother's Day came into beingB. how people celebrate Mother's DayC. a woman named Anna JarvisD. President Wilson and Anna Jarvis（2）Hilaria was a festival in________.A. AsiaB. AmericaC. Ancient RomeD. the Christian Church （3）Anna Jarvis intended to establish a festival for mothers because________.A. her students had nothing to doB. she wanted to know important people in this wayC. she wanted to do something for mothersD. she wanted people to thank their mothers （4）May 10 became the date for Mother's Day because____.A. May 10 was the date on which Anna Jarvis's mother diedB. it was the second Sunday in May in 1910C. May 10 is a lucky dayD. President Wilson like the date（5）The underlined word “observed” in Paragraph 3 most probably means________.A. watchedB. followedC. ruledD. set四、任务型阅读（共5分）The Qingming Festival is celebrated with a three-day national holiday, whose name originates from the saying "Plants start to revive and prosper at Qingming in a clean and bright way.
