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， when a friend borrows your favorite video game and then breaks it， you can 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 important for you to get angry sometimes. But anger must be let out in the right way， without hurting others or yourself.
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 a parent ，a teacher， etc. When you talk about anger， those bad feeling can start to go away.

At last the Englishman got angry with the visitor though he tried not to show it.

When an animal helps another animal, it usually gets something valuable in return. For a long time, many scientists thought that only people could act generously just because it feels good.
However, a new study in Germany suggests that chimpanzees (黑猩猩)also do good things for no real reason. And so do children who are as young as 18 months of age. Maybe it is because humans and chimpanzees share an ancestor(祖先) about 6 million years ago.
People and chimpanzees appear to develop such features(特征) without any other training, says Warneken, a scientist in Germany. Warneken and his partners worked on adult chimpanzees that live on an island in the African country of Uganda. They also worked with 18-month-old children in Germany. The researchers performed three experiments on the adult chimpanzees and two experiments on the kids. In the first animal experiment，a person tried to reach his arm into a cage to get a stick，but he couldn’t reach it. A chimpanzee was in the cage，and it could reach the stick if it wanted to.
Thirty-six chimpanzees took part in this experiment one by one, and no chimpanzee saw what the other chimpanzees had done. Even though the animals hadn’t met the person before, they usually took the stick and gave it to the person. What’s more, they did this whether or not the person offered them bananas as a reward. In a similar experiment, 36 children acted in a similar way. They helped the person reach the stick, whether or not they were offered toys for their help.
Researchers did other experiments on chimpanzees and babies. No rewards were offered in either experiment. And still, both the chimpanzees and children went out of their way to help. Still, the new study is different from earlier findings. Researchers have found that chimpanzees don’t give rewards of food to other chimpanzees, even if it costs them nothing to be generous.Warneken and his partners worked with ________.
| A．young chimpanzee that live on an island |
| B．18-month-old children who live in Germany |
| C．kids who are living with adult chimpanzees |
| D．adult chimpanzees that live on the African mountain |
A new study in Germany suggests that ________.
| A．people also share information for good reason |
| B．children know something at the age of 18 months |
| C．chimpanzees do good things for no real reason, too |
| D．humans should develop their abilities 6 million years ago |
Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage？
| A．Thirty-six chimpanzees joined in this experiment one by one |
| B．No chimpanzee saw what the other chimpanzees had done |
| C．The animals hadn’t met the person before the experiments |
| D．Chimpanzee gave the person the stick in order to get a reward |
From the passage we know that ________.
| A．both chimpanzees and children can find their way to help others |
| B．chimpanzees will reward good food to other chimpanzees |
| C．children is more generous than chimpanzees in some ways |
| D．both chimpanzees and children can do the difficult experiments |
It is common to believe that learning just takes place in school, but much of human learning happens outside the classroom, even from birth and people continue to learn throughout their lives.
Even before they enter school, young children learn to walk, to talk, and to use their hands to use toys, food, and other objects. They use all of their senses to learn about the sights, sounds, tastes, and smells in their environments. They learn how to communicate with their parents, grandparents, siblings, friends, and other people important to their world. When they enter school, children learn subjects like reading, writing, and maths. They also continue to learn a lot outside the classroom. They learn which behaviors are likely to be rewarded and which are likely to be punished. They learn social skills for communicating with other children. After they finish school, people must learn to deal with many changes that affect their lives, such as getting married, raising children, and finding and keeping a job.
Because learning continues throughout our lives and influences almost everything we do, the study of learning is important in many different fields. Teachers need to understand the best ways to educate children. Scientists, social workers and other human service workers need to understand how certain experiences change people’s behaviors.
Learning is closely related (相关的) to memory, which is the storage(储存) of information in the brain (大脑). Scientists who study memory are interested in how the brain stores knowledge, where this storage takes place, and how the brain later offers knowledge when we need it. However, scientists who study learning are more interested in behavior and how behavior changes as a result of a person’s experiences. The underlined word “siblings” in Paragraph 2 probably means _________.
| A．teachers | B．classmates | C．doctors | D．brothers or sisters |
When do children begin to know to behave well according to the passage?
| A．After they go into society. | B．Before they enter school. |
| C．When they are at school. | D．Before they are born. |
Which of the following is WRONG according to the passage?
| A．As a matter of fact, learning begins at a person’s birth and last the whole life. |
| B．Teachers need to understand the best ways to educate their students. |
| C．People need to understand how certain experiences change their behaviors. |
| D．Social workers need to study how experiences affect people’s thoughts. |
