Everyone can be angry. But if you take the time to actually examine your anger instead of just “feeling” angry,

you’ll have a better understanding of yourself. Knowing why you feel so angry can provide you with some

surprising answers. These answers can enable you to suddenly grow spiritually and mentally.

I can give you a personal example. I went to a meeting once and I was verbally attacked over an application I

supported at my workplace. Various people went on and on about how terrible this system was and that it never

worked. That didn’t bother me that much. I was used to that but one of the comments that was said was, “Your

job is pointless.” This really upset meand at the time, I was ly furious(发怒地) with that comment.

I was so angry and upset that they would treat me that way. Once I took the time to think about what was

really making me so mad. I learned a lot. I realized that the comment was more truethan I wanted to admit. In the

big scheme of things, my job was pointless. It wasn’t what I really wanted to be doing with my life and this was

what frustrated me the most. Here I was pouring part of my heart and soul into a job I didn’t even really want to

do. I was using it as a crutch(拐杖) because I didn’t have the confidence in myself to take the scary road towards

what I really wanted to do. As soon as I realized that, a lot of my anger just melted away. I also realized that I

needed to start focusing on what I really wanted to do.

I now consider this incident as a great gift It got me back on track to moving in the direction I wanted to go

with my life. I probably wouldn’t be where I am today if I hadn’t taken the time to figure out why I was really so

angry.

4. What made the author angry at the meeting?

C. The policy of the company didn’t work. D. The application he supported was of no effect.

5. What brought down the anger of the author?

A. The apology someone made at the meeting.

B. The crutch he used to take the scary road.

C. His awareness of the fact that the comment was true.

A. It brought him back on track to the goal.

B. It helped him get promoted to a higher position.

C. It helped him change his character since then.

D. It provided him with confidence in his career.

7. What can be the best title of the passage?

C. Anger Is Harmful to Health

D. Understanding Yourself Better Through Anger

In Japan many workers for large corporations have a guarantee of lifetime employment. They will not be laid

off during recessions or when the tasks they perform are taken over by robots. To some observers, this is

capitalism at its best, because workers are treated as people not things. Others see it as necessarily inefficient and

believe it cannot continue if Japan is to remain competitive with foreign corporations more concerned about

profits and less concerned about people.

Defenders of the system argue that those who call it inefficient do not understand how it really works. In the

first place not every Japanese worker has the guarantee of a lifetime job. The lifetime employment system

includes only “regular employees.” Many employees do not fall into this category, including all women. All

businesses have many part time and temporary employees. These workers are hired and laid off during the course

of the business cycle just as employees in the United States are. These “irregular workers” make up about 10

percent of the nonagricultural work force. Additionally, Japanese firms maintain some flexibility through the

extensive use of subcontractors. This practice is much more common in Japan than in the United States.

The use of both subcontractors and temporary workers has increased markedly in Japan since the 1974-1975

recession. All this leads some people to argue that the Japanese system really is not all that different from the

American system. During recessions Japanese corporations lay off temporary workers and give less business to

subcontractors. In the United States, corporations lay off those workers with the least working experience. The

difference then is probably less than the term “lifetime employment” suggests, but there still is a difference. And

this difference cannot be understood without looking at the values of Japanese society. The relationship between

employer and employee cannot be explained in purely contractual terms. Firms hold on to the employees and that

employees stay with one firm. There are also practical reasons for not jumping from job to job. Most retirement

benefits come from the employer. Changing jobs means losing these benefits. Also, teamwork is an essential part

of Japanese production. Moving to a new firm means adapting to a different team and at least temporarily, lower

productivity and lower pay.

8. According to the passage, a woman in Japan _________.

A. cannot get a lifetime job B. is impossible to get a part time job

C. will be employed for life D. is among the regular workers

9. Which of the following is NOT the reason why Japanese workers stay with one firm?

A. They don’t want to lose their retirement benefits. B. They are not adaptable people.

C. Any change of jobs will make them less paid. D. They get used to the teamwork.

10. It can be inferred from the passage that _________.

A. those who want to change jobs frequently in Japan should think twice

B. those who are first laid off by American corporations are temporary workers

C. the use of subcontractors makes Japanese firms less flexible

D. the Japanese system is totally different from the American system

11. What does the passage mainly discuss?

A. The extremely hard situation during recessions.

B. The extensive use of subcontractors in Japan.

C. The characteristics of corporations in the United States.

D. The features of lifetime employment in Japan.

In recent years,people have been focusing on the quality of food that children are fed in schools. Former First

Lady Michelle Obama worked hard to make school lunches healthier, resulting in new menus that featured less fat

and salt, more fruits and vegetables.

But high-quality nutrients count for little when there is no time to eat them. Amy Ettinger reports, "There is

no national standard on how much time kids get to eat that meal. " And with schools being occupied with test

scores, teachers are using every available minute for lesson time, which often leaves kids without enough eating

time.

This is a problem because the length of the school lunch period is a key factor (因素) in how much nutrition

children actually gel. Research has found that having less than 20 minutes for lunch results in children consuming

much less of their lunch than those with more than 20 minutes.

This is really terrible. For many low-income kids, that cafeteria lunch can represent half their daily energy

intake. There's also another terrible message that it's acceptable to wolf down food as fast as possible before

rushing off to your next class. Cafeteria time should be a chance to interact with friends, to learn important social

skills, to observe and share varieties of food. It should be a break in day, a chance to relax before heading into the

afternoon.

As Ettinger explains,some parents are hoping the National Parent Teacher Association will address this issue.

This, in turn, would help parents push their kids' schools for better lunch time standards. Meanwhile, if you have a

kid in this situation, you can help by packing a healthy lunch to spare them the cafeteria lineup. Make the foods

easy to eat, provide non-messy snacks that can be eaten in class, put great effort into serving a hearty breakfast,

and sit down as a family for dinner whenever possible.

12. What did Michelle Obama make efforts to improve?

A. The quality of school lunches. B. The performance of school kids.

C. The school lunch time kids have. D. The eating habits of school kids.

13. What happens to children in American schools?

A. They are occupied with many tests. B. They fail to get along with each other.

C. They consume more meat than before. D. They have less lunch time than before.

14. How are low-income kids influenced by the problem at school?

A. They can't go to classes on time.

B. They can't have enough energy.

C. They can't share different kinds of food.

D. They can't hold a positive attitude toward life.

can parents do to solve the problem?

A. Prepare a better lunch for their kids.

B. Stop their kids going to the cafeteria.

C. Force schools to make adjustments to lunch.

D. Guide their kids on how to pack their own lunch.

Home libraries can be a dynamic expression of the owner'spersonality. Creating a home library is a fun way to

display your interests while establishing a special space for reading.

While there's no right or wrong way to design a library, the questions can be puzzling, especially to someone

with hundreds or thousands of books. How do I organize?___16___We'll discuss how to build a home library that

works for you.

What room should I use for my home library?___17___While reading in a room with big windows and lots of

light is refreshing, storing books in naturallight is harmful to them. Basements heavy withhumidity（湿气）will

cause mold (霉菌) and attract insects.___18___

When you started using the public library, you probably learned about Melvil Dewey and his system for

ordering libraries. The Dewey Decimal Classification System has ten broad categories for organizing books,

including philosophy, religion and the arts.___19___For example, when you want a book on modern art, you head

to the 700th block. Larger libraries, such as those at universities, tend to use the Library of Congress Classification

System, because it offers a more specific array of subjects for categorization, adding subjects such as medicine and

law for a total of 21categories.

___20___Your home library may or may not be as large as your local public library, but a good system of

organization will still help you find the book you want quickly. You could take a page from Dewey and the Library

of Congress and sort books by subject matter. Sections for subjects such as history, technology or fiction might

make theirretrieval(检索) easier. This system will also allow you to highlight a particular passion, such as an

extensive collection of World War II history,

do I get everything to fit?

category is assigned a number.

everybody wants a home library.

system of organization is the key.

addition, basements are likely to be flooded.

any room will do with a few exceptions.

size of a home library depends on how much space you can spare.
