If you do, you need to take control of your feelings. Getting angry with others can cause you to lose friends.

Gary Egeberg, an American high school teacher, has written My Feelings Are Like Wild Animals to help you control your feelings. It tells how to stay__cool when bad things happen.

【題目】Are you happy most of the time? Or do you easily get angry sometimes? Everyone has a different temperament(脾氣). It is usually believed that both genes(基因) and environment may influence people's temperaments in different ways. Scientists have found that the season of the birth also plays a role.

Scientists from Budapest, Hungary, studied 400 university students. In the study, the students needed to finish some questions to know which of four kinds of temperaments they most had. From the questions, scientists found that the students always answered something like “My mood(情緒) often changes for no reason.” and “I love to deal with new projects, even if it is risky.” These answers were then connected with their birthdays.

They discovered that people born in summer easily change between sad and happy moods compared to people born in winter. Those who always feel positive are mostly born in spring and summer.

The study also found that those born in fall less probably had a mood of depression which may easily drive them to cry, while those in winter were not easier to be angry.

Scientists said that this was probably because the seasons had an influence on certain chemicals in the human body. And the chemicals are important to control people's moods even in adult life. “It seems that when you are born may increase or decrease your chance of developing certain mood disorders.” scientist Xenia Gonda told the Telegraph.

【1】Ages probably may influence people's temperaments according to Paragraph 1.

【2】The underlined word “depression” most probably means sadness.

【3】The answers to the questions of the study were matched with their birthdays.

【4】People born in winter get sad or happy more easily.

【題目】Where does your food come from? How is it made? These days, many people worry about food safety. But food safety is not a new worry. In 1906, Upton Sinclair wrote The Jungle. The book is the story of a poor family in Chicago. It is also about the dangerous ways that food was prepared. People were so worried that the U．S. started testing food.

These days, most food in the world is safe. Laws control where food comes from. They also control how food is managed and prepared. Laws are important. But it's more important to make sure the rules are followed. A good food safety system keeps people safe. It also helps them eat healthy food. Labels(標(biāo)簽) on food give people important information. Then they can make good choices about their food.

Although food safety systems usually work, there can be problems. Sometimes mistakes are made. For example, a truck might carry eggs and then ice－cream. The ice－cream could make people sick when the truck isn't cleaned before carrying it. Other problems are not mistakes. Sometimes companies break rules to make_more_money. When this happens, people don't know if their food is safe.

As we all know, food is closely related to our daily life. We should take action to make food safer!
