But, mostly, anger ha p ens for trivial reasons. Thats why the'American Psychological Association has a part of its website which talks about anger management.Interestingly, it reads very much like one of the oldest articles on the subject, On Anger, written by the Stoic philosopher Lucius Annaeus Seneca back in the first century CE.Sen eca thought that an ger is a short-time madn ess. Other bad habits affec影响)our judgment, while anger affects our minds. Other bad habits come in small attacks and grow unno ticed, but men ' s minds fall sudde nly into an ger. Its inten sit强度)is in no way controlled, so it rises to the greatest heights from the most trivial beginnings. Then we may make unwise decisions.The perfect modem environment for anger management is the Internet. If you write, read, or comment on a blog, you know what I mean. When someone disagreed about my opinion, I was so angry. But now instead of quarreling with them, I focus my energy on answering sincere questions from others, doing my best to make them have useful conversations. Through communication, we understand each other better. Then I feel less angry at them.Now, some people say that anger is the right response to certain environment. It can be a motivating (促进的) force for action if it is moderate (适度的). But Seneca thinks there is no such thing in the universe. As for motivation, what the Stoic take is that we are moved to action by positive emotions. I agree with him.Marcus, another philosopher thought that if people are doing wrong, what you need to do instead is tea“ch them then, and show them without being angry.”That is exactly the useful way.()42. What can be learned from Paragraph 1?A. Ancient people cared little about anger management.B. Americans show the greatest interest in anger management.C. Seneca was the first person to talk about anger management.D. Unimportant things often result in the feeling of anger.()43. According to Seneca, _______ .A. anger intensity can be controlled anywayB. anger can also bring people some happinessC. being angry with others shows ones poor c'ommunicating skillsD. actions based on anger may cause regrettable results()44. What ' s the writer ' s opinion about anger management?A. Anger is acceptable if it is moderate.B. It 's very easy to control anger.C. Anger is necessary to make people act.D. Practical conversations are good ways to deal with anger.()45. What is the passage mainly about?A. The method of studying anger.B. The method of dealing with anger.C. The discussion about anger intensity.D. The damage that anger usually does.第二卷非选择题(25 分)IV. 语法填空：用所给单词的适当形式填空，未提供单词的根据上下文填入适当的词。
