However, here are some examples: being cut off in traffic, adeadline approaching, experiencing physical pain, and much more. Thereason why someone is triggered by something and others are not is often due toone's personal history and psychological traits.Each person, no matter who they are, has psychological imbalances. Peoplewho have personality traits that connect with competitiveness and low upsettolerance are much more likely to get angry. Also, sometimes pre-angerdoes not have to do with a lasting condition, but rather a temporary state before a triggering event has occurred.Sometimes even routine occurrences become sources of pre-anger, or anger itself. Sometimes ignorance and negative (消极的) outlooks on situationscan create anger.However, anger can easily turn violent, and it is best to know the reasons for anger to appear in order to prevent its presence. With these main reasons inmind, we can evaluate our level of anger throughout the day and prevent cases of outbursts by comprehending the reasons for our feelings.A. Our attitude and viewpoint on situations can create anger within us as well.B. But some types of situations can help us to get rid of the occurrence of anger.C.

Having these personality traits implies the pre-anger state, where anger is in the background of your mind.F. Understanding these reasons will control our own anger if we are willing to evaluate ourselves with a critical eye.G. Not everyone acts the same in response to events, and that is why what triggers one person may or may not trigger another.+2.任务型阅读Life is kind of like a party. You invite a lot of people, some leave early, some stay all night, some laugh with you, some laugh at you, and some show up really late. But in the end, after the fun, there are a few who stay to help you clean up the mess. And most of the time, they aren't even the ones who made the mess They are the ones who matter most. Here are four things real friends do differently:They face problems together. A real friend is someone who sees the pain inJust look your eyes while everyone else still believes the smile on your face.for someone who will face them with you.Your word means everything. If you say you're going to do something, DO IT! If you say you're going to be somewhere, BE THERE! If you say you feel something, MEAN IT! If you can't, won't, and don't, then DON'T LIE. Real friends keep promises and tell the truth upfront.They accept each other. Trying to change a person never works. A real friend is someone who truly knows you and loves you just the same. Be yourself and people will love the real you. If you feel like changing something about your friend, ask yourself what change you can make in yourself instead.They support each other's growth changes. Our needs change with time. When someone says, “You've changed,” it's not always a bad thing.Don't apologize for it. Instead, be open and sincere, explain how you feel, and keep doing what you know in your heart is right,A. They keep their promises.B. No one is happy all the time.C. They make time for each other.D. Don't change so that people will like you.E. Sometimes it just means you've grown.F.

These words show that the person is only speaking from his or her point of viewWork on keeping your answers brief and to the point Instead of the empty-sounding “I guess”, using facts, together with a clear conclusion based on those facts, is far more likely to be popular with an audience.Using only one speaking style“Don't stick to the same tone For example, when they spoke about their dreams some sounded romatic. Others used humor. Very few used several different styles together. Try mixing more than one style, rather than just sticking with the same one.Irresponsible answersPublic speaking is different from personal conversations. You're responsible for your words So you should think twice before you talk. Don't belike the student who, when asked about his opinion on book piracy（盗版）, started by saying he supported it.Talking around the topic rather than directly answering itYou should focus on one point and give a clear solution. The key is to work out what question is being asked. Is it asking you to discuss a certain topic or to present your own point of view?Use one or two arguments together and give a strong conclusionA. It can be boring. Try to mix it up.B. Also work on delivering them with calmness and confidence.C. Even though you want to answer quickly, you don't want to sound foolish.D. This lacks the support of facts and seems not to be reliable for the judges and audience.E.

Confidence is extremely important in public speaking as it lets a speaker sound more convincing.G. Deliberate gestures and affected（做作的）expressions of feelings are improper in a successful speech.+4.任务型阅读Listening to others requires entering actively and imaginatively into the situation and trying to understand a frame of reference different from your own, and yet so many of us don't listen properly as we should. Listening means more than just sitting silently while someone else talks.Here are some ways to become a better listener.Make sure you actually hear fully what your friend is saying, and you can't cut your friend off verbally carelessly. While you might intend to help move the conversation along your friend might feel as if what he has said needs to be continually talked over or sounds anything but interesting.Nod to encourage the conversation along. A better option to let your friend know you're interested in what he says is just to nod along from time to time. Sometimes you nod along but then start thinking about something unrelated to what he could say.Turn out background noise. If you're easily distracted by laughter, glasses clinking, children crying, you might need to work extra hard to focus only on your friend. Don't hesitate to tell them that the background noises are getting in the way. If you can't focus, try moving to another area.Don't text or look at your phone! For you see, when you're sitting in front of someone, he is the most important person in your world at that moment.A. Stop the speaker whenever you have a question.B. Practice silence when someone else is talking.C. If necessary, ask your friend to repeat himself.D. Whoever is calling or texting can wait until you're done with your conversation.E.

Who does this e-mail concern? If you can honestly answer 'Anyone, 'then feel free to use “To Whom It May Concern.”（These are the things you should never say in your cover letter.）If you do happen to find that using “To Whom It May Concern” is appropriate, don't make grammar mistakes, for example, letters or punctuation.A. However, it maybe interesting.B. Those times have changed, though.C. Making mistakes in writing will surely get you low scores.D. It's also very impersonal, which some employers might not appreciate.E. In that circumstance, sending and receiving letters is more of a formal greeting.F. You might want to take note of other common errors you might be committing, too.G. But according to Grammarly, there are four times when it's OK to use this greeting.+6.任务型阅读No personal success, achievement, or goal, can be realized without self- discipline.

Stress has a major impact on health and our ability to concentrate.
