Once, Mike went to a big dinner party. His coat was 1. When he went in, nobody looked at him and nobody gave him any 2, either. He was very angry. So he went home, put on his 3, and then came back to the party. Everybody stood up at once and came to 4 him. He was taken to the best table and was given the best food. Then Mike put the food in the 5 and said, "please eat, dear coat." The other people were very surprised and 6, "Why? Why do you put food in your coat?" Mike answered, "I'm asking my coat to 7. When I came here just now(刚才), 8 gave me 9 food. After I changed(更换) my coat, you gave me the best food. 10 you gave this food to my coat, not to me!"

    The story about Miss Evans is a true story.

    On the way to England from the U.S. in April 1912, a new large ship hit an iceberg (冰山) and water began to come over it.

    Everyone came out and went up to the higher part of the ship. The man put down some lifeboats into the water and helped the women and the children to get on them. Suddenly a woman shouted and wanted to stay with her children in the boat, but there was no more room for her. At that moment Miss Evans let that woman take her place. Soon after that the ship went down. Miss Evans lost her life.

    If you speak about Miss Evans in Boston today, nobody knows more about her than that, but she is one of the greatest women in America.

A new study has suggested that the key to reducing feelings of anger is not venting (letting the angry emotions out) but doing calming activities such as yoga or meditation. 

The study was published in March by Sophie Kjaervik and Brad Bushman from Ohio State University in the US. They wanted to explore the popular theory that venting (expressing) anger is a good way of reducing it. Examples of venting anger include shouting or hitting something like a cushion, so that you let go of the emotion and therefore don't feel it any more. The pair looked at 154 other studies on anger. These involved 10, 189 people, and included a variety of ages and backgrounds. In their study, Kjaervik and Bushman define anger as "an emotional response (反应) to a real or imagined threat (威胁)". They used a theory of emotion (情绪假说) that says emotions are partly felt in your body and partly in your mind. 

The scientists looked at the other studies to see how different activities influenced anger. They found that activities such as running or boxing—which are often thought to be good for dealing with anger—weren't very good at reducing it. In fact, some of these activities actually made it worse because they increased physical responses in the body that are linked to feeling angry. For example, they made people's hearts beat faster. However, activities that decreased physical responses in the body did help to reduce feelings of anger. These included activities that slow the heart rate, such as deep breathing, meditation and yoga. Bushman says activities that increase physical responses may be good for heart health but are "definitely not the best way to reduce anger". 

The team found jogging was most likely to increase anger. However, some heart-rate increasing activities—like ball games and team sports—could reduce anger.

Most people have heard of the Great Wall of China, but not many people outside of China know about the Grand Canal(大运河).This manmade waterway, known in China as Da Yunhe, is 1，700 kilometres long and some parts of it are more than 2，000 years old.It links(连接) the north of China with Hangzhou, a city in the southern part of the country.It's the longest manmade waterway in the world.

 It was built as a way to transport food from the rich land in China's south to cities in the north.In fact, it's not one canal, but a system of canals and rivers linked together.

It's still an important part of the transport system in China.Thousands of boats use it every day to transport food and many other kinds of things.

China is now doing new work on the Grand Canal.It is making part of it deeper, so bigger ships can pass.The canal will also help to move water.There is a lot of rain in the south of China, but not so much in the north.The canal will carry lots of water from the south to the north.

The Grand Canal is much less famous than the Great Wall, and not very many visitors know it.But it sees the changes in Chinese history.It's possible to go on a trip along some of the oldest parts of the canal.Visitors can see beautiful parts of China that others don't see.

How long is Da Yunhe?
