A single angry word has lost many a friend. When Socrates found in himself any temper or anger, he would check it by speaking low in order to control himself. If you are conscious of being angry, keep your mouth shut so that you can hold back rising anger. Many a person has dropped dead in great anger. Fits of anger bring fits of disease. "Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad. ""Keep cool", says Webster, "anger is not argument. ""Be calm in arguing", says George Herbert," for fierceness makes error a fault."
To be angry with a weak man is to proye that you are not strong yourself. "Anger", says Pythagoras," begins with folly and ends with regret. "You must measure the strength of a man by the power of the feelings he conquers, not by the power of those which conquer him.
Self-control is man's last and greatest victory.
If a man lacks self-control he seems to lack everything. Without it he can have no patience, no power to govern himself; he can have no self-confldence, for he will always be controlled by his strongest feeling. If he lacks self-control, the very backbone and nerve of character are lacking also.

A.The greatest victory for a man is to conquer everything except himself.
B.One's moral freedom is based on the control of himself.
C.To control oneself is the most difficult in one's life.
D.ff a person holds his own feelings, he will feel most shameful.
"Being angry increases the risk of injury, especially among men," new research says.
The researchers gathered data on more than 2, 400 accident victims at three Missouri hospitals. They interviewed each subject to determine the patient's emotional state just before the injury and 24 hours earlier, gathering data on whether the patients felt irritable, angry or hostile, and to what degree. Then they compared the results with a control group of uninjured people.
(52) Despite widespread belief in "road rage," anger did not correlate with injuries from traffic accidents.
(53) Not surprisingly, anger was strongly associated with injuries inflicted deliberately. But other injuries--those neither intentionally inflicted nor from falls or traffic accidents--also showed strong associations with anger.
(54) The correlations were significantly weaker for women than for men, but there were no differences by race. The authors acknowledge that their data depend on self-reports, which are not always reliable.
(55) Why anger correlates with injury is not known. "I can speculate that the anger may have prompted some behavior. that led to the injury, or may have simply distracted the person, leading in directly to the injury," said the study's lead author.

听力原文: Tests conducted at the University of Pennsylvania's Psychological Laboratory showed that anger is one of the most difficult emotions to detect from facial expression. Professor Dallas E. Buzby confronted 716 students with pictures of extremely angry persons, and asked them to identify the emotion from the facial expression. Only two percent made correct judgments. Anger was most frequently judged as "pleased." And a typical reaction of a student confronted with the picture of a man who was mad was to classify his expression as either "bewildered," "quizzical," or simply, "amazed." Other studies showed that it is extremely difficult to tell whether a man is angry or not just by looking at his face. The investigators found further that women are better at detecting anger from facial expression than men are. Paradoxically, they found that psychological training does not sharpen one's ability to judge a man's emotions by his expressions but appears actually to hinder it. For in the university tests, the more courses the subject had taken in psychology, the poorer judgment scores he turned in.
