17.Anger is not wrong.I know this statement seems shocking and challenges the wildly popular"Positive Thinking"movement,which encourages us to"be full of positive energy"and"let go of our anger".However,the truth is that anger is just an emotion,and emotions are neither right nor wrong.We do not consciously choose them.We do,on the other hand,choose how we express our emotions and there are definitely right and wrong means of expression.
The reason why we're often urged to"keep a lid on"our anger is that few people ever learn proper and positive ways to express anger.Instead,we are taught that"anger is wrong"and"you should keep your anger inside".But these messages don't change the fact that,for most of us,anger exists.
Many popular"Positive Thinking"programmes assume that success comes from"controlling our emotions"and that this can be done by simply repeating positive statements.Interestingly,these positive slogans often include a lot of negativity."Only losers complain!I am a winner!"is one popular saying.The belief that those who disagree with us are losers is actually quite negative and is often used as an excuse for rude language and personal attacks.
When it comes to dealing with negative situations in our daily lives,the ability to reasonably express anger or disagreement is an important skill.But we must use balanced and non-violent methods to express our dissatisfaction.Frustration at unfair policies or treatment can certainly cause anger,but our anger can never be an excuse for abusing family members,damaging schools,attacking doctors or most seriously,engaging in terrorism.
Instead of pretending that anger doesn't exist,we should start teaching appropriate means of dealing with anger.When we experience angry feelings in ourselves or others,what we should"let go of"is the silly idea that we can remove anger with just a few sweet words.Instead,we should find reasonable solutions to the causes of those angry feelings.We need to accept anger as a natural emotion but stop using it as an excuse for violent and destructive behavior.Anger isn't wrong,but failure to deal with it appropriately is.

解答 32-35 CCBD
32題答案:C考查細(xì)節(jié)理解.根據(jù)文章第三段內(nèi)容可知,作者認(rèn)為"Positive Thinking"只不過(guò)是讓人重復(fù)積極的話,有時(shí)還會(huì)有消極作用,對(duì)解決憤怒問(wèn)題沒(méi)有幫助.故選C項(xiàng).
33題答案:C考查短語(yǔ)猜測(cè).根據(jù)畫(huà)線短語(yǔ)后"few people ever learn proper and positive ways to express anger.Instead,we are taught that‘a(chǎn)nger is wrong'and‘you should keep your anger inside'"(很多少人學(xué)會(huì)了合適的、積極的方法來(lái)表達(dá)憤怒,相反我們被他人教育'生氣是錯(cuò)誤的'而且你應(yīng)該將你的憤怒隱藏在內(nèi)心).可知,此處是讓人們隱藏憤怒的意思.故選C項(xiàng).
34題答案:B考查細(xì)節(jié)理解.根據(jù)最后一段中的"Instead,we should find reasonable solutions to the causes of those angry feelings."(相反,我們應(yīng)該為那些憤怒的感覺(jué)的原因找到解決方法).可知,處理憤怒的最好方式是找出憤怒的原因并妥善解決.故選B項(xiàng).
35題答案:D考查推理判斷.最后一段主要論述我們應(yīng)該妥善地處理憤怒,所以接下來(lái)應(yīng)該會(huì)介紹一些具體的處理憤怒的方法、例子等.故選D項(xiàng).
點(diǎn)評(píng) 本文是一篇科教類閱讀,題目涉及多道細(xì)節(jié)理解題,做題時(shí)結(jié)合原文和題目有針對(duì) 性找出相關(guān)語(yǔ)句進(jìn)行仔細(xì)分析,結(jié)合選項(xiàng)選出正確答案.推理判斷也是要在抓住關(guān)鍵句子的基礎(chǔ)上合理的分析才能得出正確的答案.
