Anger is a kind of feeling. Many things can make you angry. When your teacher gives you too

much homework, when your team loses an important game, or when a friend borrows your

favorite toy and then breaks it, you may get really angry.

Usually your body will tell you when you are 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. But

anger must go out in the right way, without hurting others or yourself.

When yon get angry, you can talk about it with other people. It's helpful to talk about your

anger with a parent or a teacher. When you talk, those bad feelings can start to go away. Here are

some other things you can do when you start to feel angry: talk to a good friend; count from 1to

100; give someone a smile; go for a bike ride; think about good things, etc.

Remember that how you act when you are angry can make things better or worse. Don't let

your anger control you.

（1）You may not get angry when ___.

A. there is too much homework on this weekend
