II READING COMPREHENSION (70 MARKS)

Anger has many sources. Often it is an emotion which is secondary to some other
emotion that you are feeling - like fear, guilt or relief. So the parent who shouts at her kid,
who gets home late is using anger as a way of displacing fear. Sometimes it is the result of a
sense of great unfairness - such as when someone is wrongly accused of a crime, finds that
someone has not been telling them the truth, or feels a passionate sense of social injustice.
But anger may have other causes as well. We know that animals can be made more
aggressive if some parts of their brains are stimulated; thus overstimulation of those parts
which are the emotional centre of the brain may be very dangerous.

Changes in hormone levels seem to cause anger too, and inheritance plays a part, as does
our upbringing. The more we are raised in anger, the more anger we are likely to feel later
in our lives.

Most researchers think that anger leads to an increased risk of heart attack, but
studies show that keeping anger inside oneself is bad for you too, Women who constantly
control their anger, for example, show a higher death rate than those that don't. When
people suppress their anger, one study suggests, this is more damaging to the woman's
health than the man's. So it seems that while frequent anger is bad for you (heart attacks,
high blood pressure), the suppression of anger is worse. Some scientists suggest that using
anger consciously is a good thing, provided it is not too extreme or out of control, but others
are convinced that anger could be one of the main factors controlling our emotional and
physical health.

IV SUMMARY MAKING (10 MARKS)

*) read the following passage, then answer the questions below:

Today, millions of people want to learn or improve their English. Is it better to study in
Britain or America or to study in your own country?

The advantages of going to Britain seem obvious. Firstly, you will be able to listen to the
language all the time you are in the country. You will be surrounded completely by the
language wherever you go. Another advantage is that you have to speak the language if you
are with other people.

On the other hand, there are also advantages to staying at home to study. You don't have
to make big changes to your life. As well as this, it is also a lot cheaper than going to
Britain but it is never possible to achieve the results of living in the UK. If you have a good
teacher, I think you can learn in a more concentrated way than being in Britain without
going to a school.

So, in conclusion, I think that if you have enough time and enough money, the best
choice is to spend some time in the UK.

*) In four sentences of your own, write about the advantages of studying English in

the UK:

………………………………………………………………………………………………
………………………………………………………………………………………………
………………………………………………………………………………………………
