22、 at my grandfathers farm in western Pennsylvania. Surrounded by miles of winding stone walls, the house and field provided endless hours of fun for a city kid like me. I was used to tidy living rooms that seemed to whisper, Not to be touched! 3 I can still remember one afternoon when I was eight yea
23、rs old. Since my first visit to the farm, I had wanted more than anything to be allowed to climb the stone walls surrounding the houses. My parents would never approve. The walls were old; some stones were missing, others loose and falling. Still, my idea to climb across those walls grew so strong t
24、hat finally, one spring afternoon, I had all my courage to enter the living room, where the adults had gathered after Sunday dinner.I, uh-I wanna climb the stone walls, I said. Everyone looked up. Can I climb the stone walls? Immediately voices of disagreement went up from the women in the room. Hea
25、vens, no! Youll hurt yourself! I wasnt too disappointed; the response was just as Id expected. But before I could leave the room, I was stopped by my grandfathers loud voice.

26、he said to me, and come and see me when you get back. For the next two and a half hours I climbed those old walls -and had the time of my life.

38、e may not. 5A high school newspaper editor said it is unfair for companies to discourage visible tattoos (纹身）nose rings, or certain dress styles. It is true you cant judge a book by its cover, yet people do “cover” themselves in order to convey(传递)certain messages. What we wear, including tattoos an
39、d nose rings, is an expression of who we are. Just as people convey messages about themselves with their appearances, so do companies. Dress standards exist in the business world for a number of reasons, but the main concern is often about what customers accept.Others may say how to dress is a matte

Most employers do care about the personal appearances of their employees (雇员),because those people represent the companies to their customers.As a hiring manager I am paid to choose the people who would make th

Even though I am open-minded, I cant expect all our customers are.There is nobody to blame but yourself if your set of choices does not match tha
42、t of your preferred employer. No company should have to change to satisfy a candidate simply because he or she is unwilling to respect its standards, as long as its standards are legal.67.

46、anger can be an extremely damaging emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer. _71_ Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger, and scream a
47、nd yell. But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing anger. For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a persons health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases the same
48、hormones (荷尔蒙). They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etc. _72_ Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that thos
49、e who keep anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure. _73_ They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is, they say, “_74_ Wait until your anger has coole
50、d down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.” Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. _75_A. In general the person feels excited and ready to actB. They said that laughter is much healthier than anger.C. Expressi
51、ng anger violently is more harmful than repressing itD. Anger may cause you a cancer.E. Do not express your anger while angry.F. Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time.G.
