（A）
Do you get angry when your friends sing loudly while you are trying to work? Or when your best friend does not wait for you after school?
If you do, you need to take control (控制) of your feelings and stop getting angry so easily. Getting angry with people can cause you to lose friends.
Gary Egeberg, an American high school teacher, has written “My Feelings Are Just Like Wild Animals” to help you control your feelings. It tells teens how to stay cool when bad things happen to them.
The book says that getting angry only makes problems worse. It can never make them better. Getting angry is not a natural (天然的) way to act, the book says. It is just a bad habit (习惯), like smoking (抽烟).The book says you can control your anger (生气) easily ---- all you have to do is tell yourself not to be angry.
When a baby falls over, it only cries if people are watching it. Like a baby, you should only get angry if you are sure it is the right thing to do. The book gives many tips (建议) to help you if you get angry easily.
Here are our top three:
1. Keep a record. Every time you get angry write down why you are angry. Look at it later and you will see you get angry too easily.
2. Ask your friends to stop talking to you when you get angry. This will teach you not to be angry.
3. Do something different. When you get angry, walk away from the problem and go somewhere else.
Try to laugh!

Everybody is afraid of something. More than 2 500 kids told us what they were afraid of. Some don’t like the darkness. Some hate bad dream and scary movies. And some of them want to run away from dogs and snakes.
