吉林省延边第二中学2018-2019学年高二上学期英语第二次阶段考试试卷
Most of us will admit that on occasions we can be bad－tempered. This can be for a number of reasons.
As the body and mind are tired, it seems to take us less time to become angry just because of something that is of little importance. Young children are usually the cause of tiredness and it is highly likely that parents allow themselves to release(释放) their exhaustion directly at the children. Children are very good at remembering these instances and it will affect them for a long time.
Diet and lifestyle can be key factors in causing a bad temper. Some people don't realize that their diet can directly affect their moods. Processed food and items that contain a lot of sugars, especially those that aren't natural sugars, can cause a rise in blood sugar. Similarly, lifestyle choices can encourage bad tempers and poor moods, especially if drug and alcohol are used too frequently.
If you have noticed that you are becoming increasingly bad－tempered, it is important that you take steps to try and regain control. After you find the cause, try and make positive changes to prevent this from occurring in the future.
A. Find your ways to release your anger.
B. Check what it is that causes the bad mood.
C. Tiredness is often the most common reason.
D. Managing your anger is good for your health.
E. Therefore, it is important to have more patience when with children.
