“I do,” said Leo.

Alex liked getting notes too.

Daniel tossed the note and it fell to the floor.

Alex picked it up. He handed it back to Leo, who put it into his  pocket.

On the bus that afternoon, Alex thought about what had happened.

Alex’s older brother, Mateo, arrived home just after Alex did. “How was  your day, little dude?” Mateo asked.

“A boy in my class was mean to Leo,” Alex said. He explained the way Daniel  had acted.

Mateo shook his head. “How would Daniel like it if people picked on him for  getting a note?”

“Daniel never gets notes,” Alex said. Suddenly, he had an idea. “That’s it!  I know how to help Leo and Daniel.”

Alex explained his idea to Mateo. Mateo agreed to help, and they worked on  the plan all afternoon.

At lunchtime the next day, Alex hurried to the cafeteria. He set out 23  folded pieces of paper on a table by the entrance. Each piece of paper had the  name of a classmate on it.

“What are these?” asked Mira.

“We all have notes,” said Sabrina.

Alex watched as Daniel picked up the note with his name on it. Alex knew  that the note said Daniel, ▲ Have a great day.

Alex saw Daniel smile as he put the note into his pocket.

“Great idea, Alex,” said Leo.

“Now everyone knows how it feels to get a lunch note,” Alex said.

A new study has suggested that the key to reducing feelings of anger is not  venting (letting the angry emotions out) but doing calming activities such as  yoga or meditation.

The study was published in March by Sophie Kjaervik and Brad Bushman from  Ohio State University in the US. They wanted to explore the popular theory that  venting (expressing) anger is a good way of reducing it. Examples of venting  anger include shouting or hitting something like a cushion, so that you let go  of the emotion and therefore don’t feel it any more. The pair looked at 154  other studies on anger. These involved 10, 189 people, and included a variety of  ages and backgrounds. In their study, Kjaervik and Bushman define anger as “an  emotional response (反应) to a real or imagined threat (威胁)”. They used a theory  of emotion (情绪假说) that says emotions are partly felt in your body and partly in  your mind.

The scientists looked at the other studies to see how different activities  influenced anger. They found that activities such as running or boxing—which are  often thought to be good for dealing with anger—weren’t very good at reducing  it. In fact, some of these activities actually made it worse because they  increased physical responses in the body that are linked to feeling angry. For  example, they made people’s hearts beat faster. However, activities that  decreased physical responses in the body did help to reduce feelings of anger.  These included activities that slow the heart rate, such as deep breathing,  meditation and yoga. Bushman says activities that increase physical responses  may be good for heart health but are “definitely not the best way to reduce  anger”.

The team found jogging was most likely to increase anger. However, some  heart-rate increasing activities—like ball games and team sports—could reduce  anger.

34. What is the main finding of the new study?

A. A new method of venting anger. B. A new method of reducing anger.

C. Good activities to vent anger. D. Good activities to reduce anger.

35. What can we learn about calming activities?

A. They can reduce feelings of anger. B. They can increase the heart  rate.

C. They are good for mind health. D. They are good for heart health.

36. According to Schachter and Singer’s theory what happens first if you see a snake and feel afraid?

A. You get the feeling of fear. B. You get the feeling of calm.

C. Your heart beats fast. D. Your heart beats slowly.
