Dick was a twenty-year-old man. His father was a teacher and taught chemistry in a middle school and his mother worked in a shop. They lived a happy life until his parents died one night when suddenly an earthquake broke out. All that happened on his sixth birthday. Luckily his sister who was two years senior to him took him to see their aunt in the city and they did not stay at home. Everything was destroyed in the earthquake and the two children got into trouble. Thanks to their aunt who was not rich enough, they grew up but they lived a hard life. His sister was so sad that she became a nun(修女). After he finished middle school, he was introduced to an owner of a hotel and began to work there.

One day the young man fell to the ground while he was cleaning a window on the second floor. He was sent to the hospital and the doctor looked him over. One of his legs was broken and he had to be in hospital. He said to the nurse, “I’m a poor man, madam. Arrange a third-class ward(病房) for me, please.”

“Can’t anybody help you?”

“No, madam,” answered Dick. “I have only a sister. She’s a nun and she’s poor, too.”

“I don’t think so,” the nurse said angrily. “Nuns usually marry God. And God is the richest in the world, you know!”

“Well, then, ” Dick said with a smile. “Please arrange a first-class ward for me and post the bill to my brother-in-law.”

Tayka Hotel de Sal

Where：Tahua，Bolivia

How much：About $95 a night

Why it’s cool：You’ve stayed at hotels made of brick or wood，but salt？That’s something few can claim．Tayka Hotel de Sal is made totally of salt—including the beds （though you’ll sleep on regular mattresses（床墊） and blankets）．The hotel sits on the Salar de Uyuni，a prehistoric dried­up lake which is the world’s biggest salt flat．Builders use the salt from the 4,633­square­mile flat to make the bricks，and glue them together with a paste （糊） of wet salt that hardens when it dries．When rain starts to dissolve the hotel，the owners just mix up more salt paste to strengthen the bricks．

Green Magic Nature Resort

Where：Vythiri，India

How much：About $240 a night

Why it’s cool：Taking a pulley（滑輪）­operated lift 86 feet to your treetop room is just the start of your adventure．As you look out of your open window—there is no glass！—you watch monkeys and birds in the rain forest canopy（罩篷）．Later you might test your fear of heights by crossing the handmade rope bridge to the main part of the hotel，or just sit on your bamboo bed and read．You don’t even have to come down for breakfast—the hotel will send it up on the pulley­drawn “elevator”．

Dog Bark Park Inn B&B

Where：Cottonwood，Idaho

How much：$92 a night

Why it’s cool：This doghouse isn’t just for the family pet．Sweet_Willy is a 30­foot­tall dog with guest rooms in his belly．Climb the wooden stairs beside his hind leg to enter the door in his side．You can relax in the main bedroom，go up a few steps of the loft（閣樓） in Willy’s head，or hang out inside his nose．Although you have a full private bathroom in your quarters，there is also a toilet in the 12­foot­tall fire hydrant（消防栓） outside．

Gamirasu Cave Hotel

Where：Ayvali，Turkey

How much：Between $130 and $475 a night

Why it’s cool：This is caveman cool！Experience what it was like 5,000 years ago，when people lived in these mountain caves formed by volcanic ash．But your stay will be much more modern．Bathrooms and electricity provide what you expect from a modern hotel，and the white volcanic ash，called tufa，keeps the rooms cool，about 65 in summer．（Don’t worry—there is heat in winter．）

1.What do we know about Tayka Hotel de Sal?

A．It is located on a prehistoric lake．

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.

1."Damaging emotion" means that _____________.

A. the emotion is harmless

B. the emotion is harmful
