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.
