Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion, unless you leam how to deal with it. They warn
that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer.
Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. Some people express anger openly in a calm
reasonable way. Others burst with anger, and scream and yell. But other people keep their anger inside. They
can not or will not express it. This is called repressing anger.
For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person"s health than
expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases the same hormones (荷尔蒙). They
speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etc. In general the person feels excited and
ready to act.
Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who
express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep their
anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure.
Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger. They say the first step is to admit that you are
angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about.
If it is, they say, "Do not express your anger while angry. Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are
able to express yourself calmly and reasonably."
Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry.
They said that laughter is much healthier than anger. |

Electronic devices (装置) are changing the way people listen to music. But studies show the devices may
be causing hearing loss in many people. Some experts say people may be playing them too loud and too long.
And experts say sound levels on these devices need to be set lower.
Researchers did a study with three hundred high school students and one thousand adults. They were
asked about their use of portable music devices. Forty percent of the students and adults said they set the
sound levels at high on their players. But students were twice more likely to play the mu- sic at a very loud
volume (音量). More than half of the students said they would probably not limit their listening time.
The study found that more than half of the students and less than forty percent of the adults had at least
one kind of hearing loss. Some reported difficulty hearing parts of a discussion between two people. Others
said they had to raise volume controls on a television or radio to hear it better. And, some experienced ringing
in their ears or other noises.
Hearing experts say part of the problem is the listening equipment people are using. They say large
earphones that cover the whole ear are probably safer than the smaller earbuds (耳塞) that come with most
music players. Hearing loss may not be obvious for years, however, once it happens, there is few chance of
curing. About thirty million Americans have some hearing loss. One third of them lost their hearing as a result
of loud noises.
The American Speech-language-Hearing Association is working with companies and government officials
on setting rules for use of portable music devices. The group says the best way to protect your hearing is
to _____, limit listening time and use earphones that block out foreign noises. |

We have met the enemy and he is ours. We bought him at a pet shop. When monkey-pox, a disease usually
found in the African rain forest suddenly turns up in children in the American Midwest. It"s hard not to wonder
of the disease that comes from foreign animals is homing in on human beings. "Most of the infections (感染)
we think of as human infections started in other animals." says Stephen Morse, director of the Center for Public
Health Preparedness at Columbia University.
It"s not just that we"re going to where the animals are; we"re also bringing them closer to us. Popular foreign
pets have brought a whole new disease to this country. A strange illness killed Isaksen"s pets and she now thinks
that keeping foreign pets is a bad idea. "I don"t think it"s fair to have them as pets when we have such a limited
knowledge of them." says Isaksen.
"Laws allowing these animals to be brought in from deep forest areas without stricter control need changing."
says Peter Schantz. Monkey-pox may be the wake-up call. Researchers believe infected animals may infect their
owners. We know very little about these new diseases. A new bug (病毒) may be kind at first. But it may
develop into something harmful (有害的). Monkey-pox doesn"t look a major infectious disease. But it is not
impossible to pass the disease from person to person. |
| 1. We learn from Paragraph l that the pet sold at the shop may _____. |
| [ ] |

| 2. Why did Isaksen advise people not to have foreign pets? |
| [ ] |
A. They attack human beings.
B. We need to study native animals.
C. They can"t live out of the rain forest.
D. We do not know much about them yet. |
| 3. What does she phrase "the wake-up call" in paragraph 3 most probably mean? |
| [ ] |
A. a new disease
B. a clear warning
C. a dangerous animal
D. a morning call |
| 4. The text suggests that in the future we _____. |
| [ ] |

Like many children, Heather studied hard, did her homework and played sports after school. During her
elementary school years, she was thin, but things changed as she grew up.
"My bad eating habits began during my kid years," says Healther Daivs. "In middle school, I played sports,
but with a diet of hamburgers and soda for lunch...big family dinners...I became overweight." During her
senior year in high school, Heather Davis, who is 5 feet 9 inches tall, weighed 200 pounds. "We had a meat-
and-potatoes family. We had dessert every night and I was a member of the "clean your plate club". I tried my
best to stop gaining weight, but it seemed impossible." remembers Healther Daivs. "It caught up with me." By
the time she was 21 and attended college, Heather Davis" weight had increased to 250 pounds. Heather Davis
says it was caused by emotional eating, a junk-food diet and lack (缺少) of exercise.

weight by taking exercise. She did gym exercise for two weeks and began changing her diet by cutting out
potato chips, ice cream and pizza. Within the first two weeks, she had lost 18 pounds. Heather Davis remained
determined, and over the next 12 months, with the support of her family and regular training with a gym trainer,
she lost 110 pounds.
"My days of treating my body badly are over," say Heather Davis. "I focus on things I enjoy such as
European trins, language classes and beach vacations." She says even though she"s lost 110 pounds, she"s still
the same person-outgoing, and more importantly-happy. She"s also become a good example for those who also
want to lose weight. "If I can do it, anybody can do it," says Heather Davis. |

In many countries today, laws protect wildlife. In India the need for such protection was realized centuries
ago.
About 300 BC, an Indian writer described forests that were somewhat like national parks today. The killing
of game animals was carefully governed. Some animals were fully protected. Within the forest, nobody was
allowed to cut trees, burn woods, or trap animals for their furs. Animals that became dangerous to human
visitors were trapped or killed outside the park so that other animals would not become uneasy.
The need for wildlife protection is greater now than ever before. About a thousand sorts of animals are in
danger of extinction, and the speed at which they are being destroyed has been putting on. With mammals, for
example, the speed of extinction is now about one sort every year; from AD l to 1800, the speed was about one
sort every fifty years. Everywhere, men are trying to solve the problem of saving wildlife while caring for the
world"s growing population. |

How could we possibly think that keeping animals in cages in unnatural environments-mostly for
entertainment purposes-is fair and respectful? Zoo officials say they are concerned about animals. However,
most zoos remain "collection" of interesting "things" rather than protective habitats (栖息地).
Zoos teach people that it is acceptable to keep animals bored, lonely, and far from their natural homes.
Zoos claim to educate people and save endangered species, but visitors leave zoos without having leamed
anything meaningful about the animals" natural behavior, intelligence, or beauty. Zoos keep animals in small
spaces or cages, and most signs only mention the species" name, diet, and natural range.
The animals" normal behavior is seldom noticed because zoos don"t usually take care of the animals" natural
needs. The animals are kept together in small spaces, with no privacy and little opportunity for mental and
physical exercise. This results in unusual and self-destructive behavior called zoochosis. A world-wide study
of zoos found that zoochosis is common among animals kept in small spaces or cages. Another study showed
that elephants spend 22 percent of their time making repeated head movements or biting cage bars, and bears
spend 30 percent of their time walking back and forth, a sign of unhappiness and pain.
Furthermore, most animals in zoos are not endangered. Captive breeding (圈养繁殖) of endangered big
cats, Asian elephants, and other species has not resulted in their being sent back to the wild. Zoos talk a lot
about their captive breeding programs because they do not want people to worry about a species (物种) dying
out. In fact, baby animals also attract a lot of paying customers. Haven"t we seen enough competitions to name
baby animals?
Actually, we will save endangered species only if we save their habitats and put an end to the reasons people
kill them. Instead of supporting zoos, we should support groups that work to protect animals" natural habitats. |
| 1. How would the author describe the animals" life in zoos? |
| [ ] |
A. Dangerous.
B. Unhappy.
C. Natural.
D. Simple. |
| 2. In the state of zoochosis, animals ____ according to the passage. |
| [ ] |
A. remain in cages
B. behave strangely
C. often attack other animals
D. enjoy walking around |
| 3. What does the author try to argue in the passage? |
| [ ] |
A. Zoos are not worth the public support.
B. Zoos fail in their attempt to save animals.
C. Zoos should treat animals as human beings.
D. Zoos use animals as a means of entertainment. |
| 4. The author tries to persuade readers to accept his argument mainly by ____. |
| [ ] |
A. pointing out the faults in what zoos do
B. giving examples of animals in the wild
C. questioning the way animals live
D. discussing the advantages of natural habitats |
| 5. Although he is against zoos, the author would still admit that ____. |
| [ ] |
A. zoos have to keep animals in small cages
B. most animals in zoos are endangered species
C. some endangered animals are reproduced in zoos
D. it"s acceptable to keep animals away from their habitats |
