All the housewives who went to the new supermarket had one great ambition: to be the lucky customer who did not have to pay for her shopping．For this was what the notice just inside the entrance promised．It said: “Remember, once a week, one of our customers gets free goods．This May Be Your Lucky Day!”

For several weeks Mrs. Edwards hoped, like many of her friends, to be the lucky customer．Unlike her friends, she never gave up hoping．The cupboards in kitchen were full of things which she did not need．Her husband tried to advise her against buying things but failed．She dreamed of the day when the manager of the supermarket would approach her and say: “Madam, this is Your Lucky Day．Everything in your basket is free．”

One Friday morning, after she had finished her shopping and had taken it to her car, she found that she had forgotten to buy any tea．She dashed back to the supermarket, got the tea and went towards the cash-desk．As she did so, she saw the manager of the supermarket approach her．“Madam,” he said, holding out his hand, “I want to congratulate you! You are our lucky customer and everything you have in your basket is free!”

The easy way out isn't always easiest．I learned that lesson when I decided to treat Doug, my husband of one month, to a special meal．I glanced through my cookbook and chose a menu which included homemade bread．Knowing the bread would take time, I started on it as soon as Doug left for work．As I was not experienced in cooking, I thought if a dozen was good, two dozen would be better, so I doubled everything．As Doug loved oranges, I also opened a can of orange and poured it all into the bowl．Soon there was a sticky dough （面團(tuán)） covered with ugly yellowish marks．Realizing I had been defeated, I put the dough in the rubbish bin outside so I wouldn't have to face Doug laughing at my work．I went on preparing the rest of the meal and, when Doug got home, we sat down to Cornish chicken with rice．He tried to enjoy the meal but seemed disturbed．Twice he got up and went outside, saying he thought he heard a noise．The third time he left, I went to the windows to see what he was doing．Looking out, I saw Doug standing about three feet from the rubbish bin, holding the lid up with a stick and looking into the container．When I came out of the house, he dropped the stick and explained that there was something alive in our rubbish bin．Picking up the stick again, he held the lid up enough for me to see．I felt cold．But I stepped closer and looked harder．Without doubt it was my work．The hot sun had caused the dough to double in size and the fermenting yeast （酵母） made the surface shake and sigh as though it were breathing．I had to admit what the "living thing" was and why it was there．I don't know who was more embarrassed by the whole thing--- Doug or me．

Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it．They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and even cancer．

Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time．Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way．Some burst with anger, and scream and yell （大叫）．But others keep their anger inside．They can not or will not express it．This is called repressing anger．

For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person's health than expressing it．They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases the same hormones．They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etc．In general the person feels excited and ready to act．

Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous．They believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep their anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure．

Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger．They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about．If it is, they say, "Do not express your anger while angry．Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably．"

Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry．They said that laughter is much healthier than anger．

This brief book is aimed at high school students, but speaks to anyone learning at any stage of life．

Its formal, serious style closely matches its content, a school-masterly book on schooling．The author, W．H．Armstrong, starts with the basics: reading and writing．In his opinion, reading doesn’t just mean recognizing each word on the page; it means taking in the information, digesting it and incorporating it into oneself just as one digests a sandwich and makes it a part of himself．The goal is to bring the information back to life, not just to treat it as dead facts on paper from dead trees．Reading and writing cannot be completely separated from each other; in fact, the aim of reading is to express the information you have got from the text．I’ve seen it again and again：some-one who can’t express an idea after reading a text is just as ineffective as someone who hasn’t read it at all．

Only a third of the book remains after that discussion, which Armstrong devotes to specific tips for studying languages, math, science and history．He generally handles these topics thoroughly（透徹地） and equally, except for some weakness in the science and math sections and a bit too much passion（激情） regarding history to his students, that was a hundred times more than my history teachers ever got across．To my disappointment, in this part of the book he ignores the arts．As a matter of fact, they demand all the concentration and study that math and science do, though the study differs slightly in kind．Although it’s commonly believed that the arts can only be naturally acquired, actually, learning the arts is no more natural than learning French or mathematics．

My other comment is that the text aged．The first edition apparently dates to the 1960s—none of the references（參考文獻(xiàn)）seem newer than the late 1950s．As a result, the discussion misses the entire computer age．

These are small points, though, and don’t affect the main discussion．I recommend it to any student and any teacher, including the self-taught student．

1.According to Armstrong, the goal of reading is to ________．

A．gain knowledge and expand one’s view

B．understand the meaning between the lines

C．express ideas based on what one has read

D．get information and keep it alive in memory

2.The author of the passage insists that learning the arts _________．

A．requires great efforts

B．demands real passion

C．is less natural than learning maths

D．is as natural as learning a language

3.What is a shortcoming of Armstrong’s work according to the author?

A．Some ideas are slightly contradictory．

B．There is too much discussion on studying science．

C．The style is too serious．

D．It lacks new information．

4.This passage can be classified as________．

A．a(chǎn)n advertisement B．a(chǎn) book review

C．a(chǎn) feature story D．A news report

5.Which of the following words can best describe the author’s attitude towards the book_____。

A．positive B．neutral

C．negative D．objective

The Students’ Union

There is a growing debate about the most effective way for students to study． Traditionally studying alone was thought to be the best way to ensure good exam results．When studying alone you can focus your mind better than when you are with others．You also have the freedom to choose what topic to study and when, as you don't need file agreement of others．Students that prefer to study alone often say that when they study with their classmates they waste a lot of time because the discussion is often about non-study topics such as television or holidays．

In the last few years, however, more and more students have started studying in groups．There are several reasons many students prefer this method．First, they find that studying is more fun as they can share the experience with others rather than staying in their rooms． In groups, they can discuss the subject together and when something is not understood they can ask each other questions．They can use the knowledge of their classmates to help improve their own knowledge． Finally by discussing the topic they are able to both understand and remember it better．
