Anger (愤怒) often makes us uncomfortable. Seeing your child’s anger can be especially uncomfortable. In order to relieve (缓解) this feeling, parents often encourage children to “stop crying” and say things like “It’s nothing to cry about.” It’s moments like those that plant the seeds of unhealthy anger, The “stop crying” parents are just doing what they were taught by their own parents, who were probably taught that by their parents on and on. However, we should learn how to create healthy anger in our kids. If a child never sees his or her parents express anger, he or she should never express anger, either. But if parents always express their anger loudly, their child may start to think of anger as something that is always frightening.
The first thing you can do to create healthy anger in your children is to practice creating healthy anger in yourself. Once you’re better at experiencing anger and expressing it in a healthy way, you’ll be able to set a good example for your kids.
Stopping kids from expressing their feelings is wrong. You may feel bad when you believe you are wrong. When children express their feelings and are told that it’s nothing to cry about, they come to know that they themselves are bad.
We need to raise them in an environment where it’s safe to express feelings. Once you feel more comfortable with your own anger, you can teach your children why anger is a helpful feeling. When your kids express anger, help them know what it is that has made them angry. Why did it make them angry How did it do that Then, you can teach them that those feelings are never wrong and our expressions of feelings are in our control (在控制中).
Anger is natural and normal (正常的), and it can be experienced and expressed in a healthy way.
21. Why do parents say “It’s nothing to cry about” to their children

C. parents have a great influence on their children
D. children should express their anger like their parents
23. Parents should set a good example for children by _____________ .
A. raising them in a safe environment

As a book lover, I’ve tried both paper books and e-books. While both give you the pleasure of reading, the experience can be quite different.
Many people prefer reading paper books because they are easy to buy from bookshops and comfortable to read Paper books also allow readers to make notes easily. However, some books, such as dictionaries, can be heavy and are not easy to carry around.
Compared with paper books, e-books are good for students in many ways. E-books can he stored in a reader (阅读器), which is much lighter. Many e-book readers also have a dictionary for you to check new words quickly! However, you can only get e-books online. Unlike paper books, you must read e-books on an e-book reader, a computer, or a smartphone. This adds extra cost. Moreover, our eyes am get tired easily when we read e-books on the screen for a long time.
Although more people will try e-books, I believe paper books will not disappear. In my opinion, it doesn’t matter which you use as long as it allows you to enjoy reading.
46. What books has the writer tried
