Take care of yourself

This may seem like an obvious thing, but try your best to get a good night s sleep and eat healthy food when you’re hungry.2.. Consider setting an earlier bedtime than usual and stick to it. Make some nourishing snacks that you can easily grab instead of sugary junk food. Fresh fruit, a piece of cheese, some cut-up vegetables, homemade soup, they are all quick and easy options to consider.

3..

If you are going through a tough time, think about some healthy comforts that will make you feel better. Take a bike or go for a walk in nature. Treat yourself to a lunch at your favorite restaurant.

Anger is a common emotion when we experience, see, hear, and feel someone or something is not right or contrary to our views. But people easy to get angry should learn about anger management to control their anger. 1.

Stay away for a while and give yourself time to think. When you feel someone did something wrong, don’t respond to the situation immediately. 2. If necessary, walk away from the source of your problem. After you feel relaxed, face it.

3. It is often that people get angry because they didn’t evaluate the problem deeper. Maybe they haven’t realized the real cause of the problem. For example, you get mad with your boyfriend because he is late to pick you up. In that case, instead of judging him for being irresponsible, ask him “Why are you so late?” The reason may be that he had to take care of something important before. If you can get to the root of your problem and overcome it, you won’t be an ill-tempered person.

Think through your responses and the consequences. There are countless people who feel regretful because they aren’t able to control their temper. Usually, persons who can’t control their temper, tend to hurt others’ feelings, and even harm others physically. 4. If you have already shown your anger excessively, apologize sincerely, and tell your true purpose.

Be mature in thought and action. People who are closely associated with anger, usually have a serious problem with their maturity. Teenagers tend to be more explosive in emotions because they are not yet mature in thinking and don’t have a stable emotion. But that doesn’t mean all adults are mature people. 5. When you’ve finished reading this article, whether you are teenagers or adults, try to always think before you act.

A. Do your favourite activity.

B. Get to the root of your problem.

C. Think again the consequences of your anger.

D. Anger on its own does not offer us a solution.

E. There are some general tips to control our anger.

F. Age levels are not always directly related to the level of maturity,

G. Instead, take some time to think, calm yourself, and take a deep breath.

1. When we meet with something we're not familiar with or something frightening, our brain and body start making changes to help prepare us for the unknown. Dr. Kerr says. "For some people, choosing to be scared can be fun. ”

What good is fear?

2. It tells a person to hide, run away, or defend oneself. Faster heartbeat and breathing send more blood and oxygen to the muscles so they are ready when they are needed. Stress chemicals can make a person more alert.

Our memories also help protect us. We keep a close eye on babies because they don't understand what might hurt them. As babies grow, they learn what's unsafe, their brains store those memories. Then their brains use fear to warn them of dangers. "We don't want to be fearless; Dr. Kerr says. “3.!”

Too much can be harmful

Experiences can lead to long-lasting fears that may stop a person from trying new things. We’re born with the ability to feel fear, but a lot of what we're afraid of is learned.

"Being afraid doesn't mean you’re weak," Dr. Kerr says. A long-lasting fear can mean you\e had a bad experience, and your brain doesn't want you to have it again. 4. Other people may have no special fear of dogs but may be afraid of other

things, such as heights, snakes, or spiders.

How to feel less afraid

Many people have beat their own fears. Here is one method: Instead of listening to their imagination, they learn the facts about anything that seems scary. 5..

Dr. Kerr grew up on a farm. As a seven-year-old, she was scared of black bears in the woods. Later, she read about them. " Understanding the facts gave me a sense of confidence, she says. "I knew for sure what to do if I ever met with a bear and how to protect myself."

A. Knowledge can help a person feel less afraid

B. Being scared is not always a bad thing

C. Fear is a tool that brain uses to keep the body safe

D. That is why our brain works faster in time of danger

E. It is good to have a healthy sense of what's dangerous

F. Some people are scared to death by his own shadow at night

G. If a dog bit someone, that person might feel afraid of all dogs

While we may think it feels good to complain, complaining has some bad effects associated with it.

Why isn't complaining beneficial? Research shows that it connects our brain with negativity.The brain is designed to work efficiently.This means that when we repeat a thought, negative or positive, the nerve cells form a bridge between each other to pass information in a higher speed.Therefore, the next time we have a similar type of thought, it is more easily passed.This explains why certain thought patterns become habits.

Yet the harmful effects don't stop there.A study shows that complaining causes the hippocampus(海马区), which plays a vital role in problem-solving, to become smaller.

In addition to causing brain damage, complaining also releases a stress hormone: cortisol, a kind of chemical the body produces when we meet with some danger.Constantly having a high level of cortisol results in high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and lower immunity(免疫力).

The ill effects of our complaining aren't just limited to ourselves: they also involve those around us.We tend to mirror the moods of our friends.For this reason, we should be cautious about having stubborn complainers in our circle of companions.

The best way to deal with constant negativity is to develop a sense of gratitude(感恩).Just like complaining acts as a poison, gratitude acts as a medicine.Research shows it lowers cortisol levels by 23 percent, as well as reduces blood pressure and blood sugar.It also decreases tiredness and depression.Gratitude is the perfect cure for complaining, a behavior that steals our brain power, happiness and physical well-being.

What have you observed about the effects of complaining in your own life or in the lives of others? Have you noticed that when you are grateful, you feel better all over? Please share your thoughts in the comments section below.

1.What do Para 2-3 mainly talk about?

A. The diseases caused by complaining.

B. The decrease of a vital part of our brain.

C. The bad effects of complaining on brain power.

D. The reason why certain thought patterns become habits.

2.What can we know about cortisol from the passage?

A. Gratitude is an effective cure for Cortisol.

B. Our body produce cortisol when we feel exited.

We all go through times when we feel we are not good enough. We might feel that way at work or in school or even as a parent. Here are some things to remember when you feel like that.

1. When I started my Ph.D. program, I felt like the dumbest person in every class. I couldn’t believe how many smart people were there. I didn’t know if I could measure up to their intelligence or compete in the same league with them. Years later, I found out that almost everyone felt this way, too.

You are unique and have special talents. If you can barely make Hamburger Helper, don’t compare yourself to your sister who is a chef(厨师). I’m sure you can do many things that she can’t. 2. You are you. You are not your sister.

You need to stop chasing perfection. It doesn’t exist. What’s perfect to me is not perfect to you. So if you think that there is some objective measurement of perfection and that the rest of the world is judging you against, then you are wrong. 3.

4. Our sense of self-worth is based in our thoughts. We have been programmed for many years with thoughts about ourselves. Messages come from our parents, our peers, teachers, the media and our own labels. But guess what? They are only thoughts. Just because you think these thoughts, it doesn’t make them true. 5.

A. You need to change your thought patterns.

B. So focus on your own passions and talents.

C. You have the power to change your future.

D. You are not the only one who feels this way.

E. If you love yourself for who you are, other people will notice.

F. One of my favorite sayings is, ＂Don’t believe a negative thought you think!＂

G. Most people are too worried about their own lack of perfection to judge you.
