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, and when a friend borrows your favourite thing 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 (打)someone, but sometimes, you hide(隐藏)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 be let out in the right way, without hurting your or others.

When you get angry, you can talk about it with other people. It's helpful to talk about your anger with an adult, such as your parent, a teacher, etc. When you talk about anger, 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 1 to 100; give someone a hug; go for a bike 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 anger control you.

41. You may not get angry when _____.
A. there is too much homework to do this weekend
B. your favourite basketball team wins the game
C. a friend breaks your favourite thing
D. your parents don't let you watch TV
42._____ shows that you're not angry.
