SECOND QUARTER PERIODICAL TEST

IN ENGLISH 6

I. Directions: Read the selection below. Analyze each item carefully then choose the letter of the
correct answer. Write your answer before each number.

EFFECTS OF ANGER

Anger is often viewed as harmful. It does not only affect the person feeling this anger but those
around him or her. As these feelings get stronger, changes occur in our body. Our faces turn red and
carry a frown. Our teeth are clenched, and our hands are closed tight. Our breathing becomes heavy,
and this makes our heartbeat faster. Our shoulder and neck muscles become stiff, and our blood
pressure begins to rise. All these things happen because our body is preparing for something. It is
preparing for action. However, this action does not have to be harmful. People are often guilty about
feeling angry. But anger can be viewed positively. Feelings of anger tell you that something is not
right and that something needs to change. The challenge lies in making sure that actions resulting from
anger will help rather than harm. Expressing our feelings can help others understand the source of our
anger rather than fear its consequences.
