It is high school spring break season—and if you are a junior (or an overachieving sophomore), chances are you will spend a chunk of your vacation wandering around college campuses with super-enthusiastic, backwards-walking student tour guides.

“As a parent who recently went through this process, I know how stressful these visits can be for both the student and the parent,” Taylor said. “But on the flip side, they can be fun and exciting, as well as offer a great learning experience and a time to bond.”

__________________

For students who live far from schools they are interested in, but who may not have the money for personal visits, start by visiting colleges in your area that are similar to your schools of choice. For example, see first-hand how a large, public campus differs from a small private school.

__________________

Too often students will choose a college based on word of mouth or one that looks great on paper. But once they arrive, they immediately know it’s a mistake (or the right one!). There are many aspects of campus life that you can’t understand until you actually set foot on campus—such as the surrounding areas, the energy of the students and the quality of the facilities. By visiting beforehand, you’ll assure that you apply only to colleges where you’d actually want to spend four years.

_________________

To get a true feel for a campus, you should try to experience it on a typical day—when classes are in session and the campus is a buzz with activity. Try not to visit on a weekend or during the school’s spring break, if possible.

_________________

Since much of the college experience exists outside classroom walls, students should take note of the school’s immediate neighbourhood and of the available amenties in close proximity to the campus—affordable restaurants, museums, movie theatres, concert halls, and shopping areas.

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 possibly cancer.

Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Other burst with anger, and scream and yell(咆哮).But other people 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(荷爾蒙).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(解決辦法) 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.
