Anger is good for you as long as you control it，according to a new psychology research. A new study from Carnegie Mellon University shows anger may help people reduce the negative effects of stress and help you become healthier.

    “Here getting emotional is not bad for you if you look at the case of anger，”said Jennifer Lerner of Carnegie Mellon. “The more people display anger，the lower their stress responses. ”

    Lerner studied 92 UCLA students by asking them to count back from 6, 200. They must say out loud every thirteenth number. Researchers disturbed them by asking them to count faster or ask them other questions. If they made any mistake，they had to restart from the very beginning. Many students felt depressed about making so many mistakes or got angry.

    Lerner used a hidden video camera and recorded all their facial expressions during the test. The researchers describe their reactions as fear，anger and disgust(厭惡).

    Other researchers recorded the students’ blood pressure，pulse and production of a high―stress hormone(荷爾蒙)called cortisone. People whose faces showed more fear during the experiment had higher blood pressure and higher levels of the hormone. Both can have lasting effects such as diabetes(糖尿病)，heart disease，depression and extra weight gain.

    When people feel fear，negative effects increase, but when they get angry，those negatives go down，according to the study.

    “Having that sense of anger leads people to actually feeling some power in what otherwise is a maddening(令人發(fā)狂的)situation，”Lerner said.

    Lerner previously studied Americans’ emotional response to the 911 terrorist attacks two months after the incident. She found people who reacted with anger were more optimistic. These people are healthier compared with those who were frightened during the event. So in maddening situations，anger is not a bad thing to have. It’s a healthier response than fear.

64. Which statement will Jennifer Lerner agree with?

    A. It’s better to be angry than to be frightened in maddening situations.

    B. Different reactions show different attitudes to life.

    C. Don’t control your anger and it makes you powerful.

    D. Pessimistic people are generally healthier than optimistic people.

65. What does the underlined word “both” in the fifth paragraph refer to according to the passage?

    A. Fear and anger.

    B. Blood pressure and pulse.

    C. Blood pressure and cortisone.

    D. Higher blood pressure and higher levels of the hormone.

66. The researchers irritated(激怒)the students by     .

A. recording their performance secretly

B. asking them to count to 6，200 again and again

C. disturbing them and making them start all over again

 D. criticizing them when they made mistakes

67. In what ways can anger be beneficial to people?

A. By showing their optimistic side.

B. By reducing their stress.

C. By reducing high blood pressure.

D. By taking the place of fear.

Anger is good for you, as long as you control it properly, according to a new psychology research. The new study from Carnegie Mellon University shows anger may help people reduce the negative effects of stress and help you become healthier. “Here getting emotional is not bad for you if you look at the case of anger.” Said Jennifer Lerner of Carnegie Mellon, “The more people show anger, the lower their stress responses.”

Lerner studied 92 UCLA students by asking them to count back from 6,200. They must say out loud every 13^th number. Researchers interfered with（擾亂，妨礙）them by asking them to count faster or asking them other questions. If they made any mistake, they had to restart from the very beginning. Many students felt depressed about making so many mistakes or got angry because the researchers were interrupting them. Lerner used a hidden video camera and recorded all their facial expressions during the test. The researchers described their reactions as fear, anger and disgust. Other researchers recorded the students’ blood pressure and production of high-stress hormone. （荷爾蒙）

People whose faces showed more fear during the experiment had higher blood pressure and higher levels of the hormone. Both can have lasting effects such as diabetes（糖尿�。�, heart disease, depression and weight gain. When people feel fear, negative effects increase, but when they get angry, those negatives go down, according to the study. Having that sense of anger leads people to actually feel some power in what otherwise is a maddening situation, Lerner said.

So in maddening situations, anger is not a bad thing to have. It’s a healthier response than fear.

72. The passage mainly wants to tell us        .

A. people should be angry all the time          B. anger does no harm to people

C. what the effects of anger are                  D. anger can be good for you

73. In the test given by Lerner, if the students made mistakes, they were asked to       .

A. take the next test                                B. say out loud the number 13

C. count back from 6,200 again               D. answer some other questions

74. From this passage we can infer that         .

A. if people often get angry they will probably have higher blood pressure

B. higher blood pressure may have something to do with weight gain

C. when people feel fear, they will probably have lower levels of the hormone

D. those who have heart disease will surely suffer from depression

75. The underlined word “maddening” in the third paragraph probably means        .

A. very annoying                               B. rather difficult

C. extremely dangerous                      D. quite different
