Many things can make you angry.

For example, you breathe faster,your face turns red, and you may want to break something or hit(打) someone, butsometimes, you hide(隐藏) your anger. For example, you may hide it in your heart. Theproblem 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 angrysometimes. But anger must be let out in the right way, without hurting others or yourself.When you get angry, you can talk about it with other people. It’s help ful to talk aboutyour anger with an adult, such as parents, a teacher, etc. When you talk about anger, thosebad feelings can start to go away. Here are some other things you can do when you start tofeel angry: talk to a good friend; count from 1 to 100; give someone a hug(拥抱); go for abike ride; think about good things, etc.Remember that how you act when you are angry can make everything better or worse.Don’t let your angercontrol you.16．You may not get angry when _____.A．there is too much homework on this weekendB．your favorite basketball team wins the gameC．a friend breaks your favorite thingD．your parents don’t let you watch TV17．_____ shows that you’re not angry.A．Taking a faster breathB．Getting a headacheC．Getting a stomachacheD．Wanting to protect someone18．According to the passage, you can do everything when you get angry except(除了)_____.A．go for a bike rideB．think about good thingsC．talk to a good friendD．say bad things to the people around you19．This passage is mainly about _____.A．angerB．excitementC．happinessD．sadnessF1 is a very fast car race.

A team of people do these tasks together to make the stops short.Some people lift the car up, others change the tyres. While this person works on the tyres,another person puts petrol in the car and a different person cleans the driver’s helmet. Onemore person talks to thedriver about how to win.

You are glad that your prayer has beenanswered.But there is always something that troubles you a lot. You say, "Papa and Mama, giveme some money please. My pocket money is all gone (用完) already.""No," they say, "Your age is dangerous. If you have too much money to spend, itwon't do you any good." Then you have to stay at home because you dare（敢）not go outwith an empty pocket.Another time you tell your grandma, "Grandma, see, I am a grown-up now.""Good, now, you can sit here and knit (编织) this for me when I go and have a rest."To show that you are no more a child, you have to sit there the whole afternoon doing thework, which only a grown-up can do. After an hour, you find it hard to do, and give theknitting basket back to your grandma. Your grandma criticizes (批评) your work. Youhear what she says, "Such a big girl can't do such easy work." You wish then you were achild again.But the fact is, you are growing up, and you can't help it.

Make sure you do it.Try at least one kind of team sportsBeing a good team player is an important skill in life. You can’t just think of yourself,but have to work well with other people. Other advantages of team sports like basketball,football and baseball are that they keep you fit and healthy, and they are also great fun.Teams usually have a good social life too–you’ll go to lots of parties and make manyfriends.Collect（收集）somethingOne of the best hobbiesfor under–18s is collecting things.

Don't just depend on(依赖) your experiences to give advice.☆Think about the results of taking and not taking your advice. When possible, thinktwice about all the possible results. This is more important for really difficult problems.☆Understand that the person may not take your advice. Someone asks for your advice,but he or she may not take it. When you give advice, the idea is to give someone thetools(方法) to make their own decision, not make the decision for them. The personknows more about the situation than you do, so your advice may not be the best. Don't besurprised when a person doesn't take your advice. Live with it, and let the person live withhis or her decision.☆Don't be afraid to let the person know that you don't have anything to say if you arenot able to give any advice.
