Hostility is the urge to harm another person or oneself in the expression of anger.Anger is an anxiety defense reaction to anything perceived as a physical or emotional threat to sectirity,status,or self-image.Because the need to feel worthy and respected is natural to human beings,and because life is filled with chaHenges,every person feels angry sometimes.But the expression of anger depends on an individual’S psychological make up,and can range from mild irritation to uncontrolled great anger. Internal psychological factors are the sources of anger;environment"al factors bring these out by stimulating vulnerable areas conditioned by the peculiar emotional interpersonal relation-ships of individual childhood.If a baby receives hostility instead of the love and affection he or she craves,the baby defends himself or herself with anger:When his or her shows of anger constantly move others to more anger,he or she learns to repress his or her feelings.Repress-ing anger hides it and its causes from conscious awareness,and makes its expression unpredict-able,less easy to control,and more impulsive.Impulsive expressions of anger,therefore,indi-cate suppression of deep feelings.Explosive“letting off steam”is a way of convincing oneself and others of the seriousness of provocation and the power of anger.It also relieves the pressures of underlying anxiety to a more tolerable level. The strong energy of anger can be used in coristructive rather than destructive ways.It is healthy to release anger through non—injurious physical activity and the overcoming of frustration in achieving personal goals.By examining his or her feelings and reactions,a person can team to free himself or herself from the negative energy of anger.
It can be inferred from the passage that hostility in.the expression of anger is__________ .
A.respectable
B.imaginable
C.dependable
D.unavoidable
Mom is always there; she had soup ready in the breakfast room by the time that Ann and Jim and I get home. Ann and Jim have never gone in for the cafeteria, either. Our house in only about a ten-minute walk from the school building, so we can make it back in plenty of time.
There's something about eating in the cafeteria--and not leaving the high school from morning until afternoon -- that feels a little like being in prison. By the end of the morning, I've got to get out of the building. And Mom never seems to mind fixing lunch for us; she never suggests that we eat in the cafeteria.
It's really the only time we have to be alone with her. In the morning Dad's there, and by the time I get home after messing around(混时间) after school, he's usually at home from work. So the time that Mom and I talk together is usually at lunch.
I feel sorry for the students who eat in the cafeteria every day. It would drive me mad, I don't know if their moms just don't like to cook for them in the middle of the day, or if they actually like the cafeteria and the cafeteria food.
When the author was in junior high school, ______.
A.he never ate in the cafeteria
B.he ate in the cafeteria sometimes but not often
C.he always went back for lunch
D.he often ate in the cafeteria
MRS WARREN: (piteously) Oh, my darling, how can you be so hard on me? Have I no rights over you as your mother? VIVIE: Are you my mother? MRS WARREN; (appalled) Am I your mother! Oh, Vivie! VIVIE : Then where are our relatives? my father? our family friends? You claim the rights of a mother ; the right to call me fool and child; to speak to me as no woman in authority over me at college dare speak to me; to dictate my way of life; and to force on me the acquaintance of a brute whom anyone can see to be the most vicious sort of London man about town. Before I give myself the trouble to resist such claims, I may as well find out whether they have any real existence. MRS WARREN: (distracted, throwing herself on her knees) Oh no, no. Stop, stop. I am your mother; I swear it. Oh , you can t mean to turn on me—my own child \ it s not natural. You believe me, don t you? Say you believe me. VIVIE : Who was my father? MRS WARREN: You don t know what you re asking. I can t tell you. VIVIE: (determinedly) Oh yes you can, if you like. I have a right to know; and you know very well that I have that right. You can refuse to tell me, if you please, but if you do, will see the last of me tomorrow morning. MRS WARREN: Oh, it s too horrible to hear you talk like that. You wouldnt—you couldnt leave me. VIVIE: (ruthlessly) Yes, without a moment s hesitation, if you trifle with me about this. (Shivering with disgust) How can I feel sure that I may not have the contaminated blood of that brutal waster in my veins? MRS WARREN: No, no. On my oath it s not he, nor any of the rest that you have ever met. I m certain of that, at least. Vivie s eyes fasten sternly on her mother as the significance of this flashes on her. Questions:
