5. Passage ElevenDoctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it.They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and breast cancer.Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time.Some people express anger openly in a calm and reasonable way.Others burst with anger, screaming and yelling.But still others keep their anger inside.They cannot or will not express it.This is called (repressing)anger.For years some doctors claim that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous.They say that in both situations the brain of an angry person releases the same hormones (荷尔蒙).They spend the heart rate, raise blood pressure or sugar level in the blood.As a result, the angry person feels excited and is ready to react.The violent reaction may lead to high blood pressure.However, some other doctors argue that repressing anger is more dangerous to a person’s health than expressing it.They believe that those who keep their anger inside may face a greater danger of heart disease.Most doctors agree that it is important to learn how to deal with anger.They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about.If so, you should not express your anger immediately and try to wait until your anger has cooled down, so that you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.They also believe that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry.After all, it is much healthier to laugh than to get angry.We can conclude from the passage that the cost and the quality of a university are ().

1. Passage ThirteenTrees are useful to man in three important ways: they provide him with wood and other products; they give him shade; and they help to prevent droughts and floods.Unfortunately, in many parts of the world, man has not realized that the third of these services is the most important.In his eagerness to make money from trees, he has cut them down in large numbers, only to find that without them he has lost the best friends he had.And besides, he is usually too careless to plant and look after new trees.So the forests slowly disappear.This does not only mean that man will have fewer trees.The results are even more serious: for where there are trees, their roots break up soil——allowing the rain to sink in——and also bind the soil, thus preventing it from being washed away easily; but where there are no trees, the rain falls on hard ground and flows away, causing floods and carrying away the rich topsoil.When all the topsoil is gone, nothing remains but worthless desert.Two thousand years ago a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships, with which to gain itself an empire.It set up the empire but, without its trees, its soil became poor and it grew weak.When the empire fell into pieces, there is nothing left except floods and starvation.What is the most important service of trees to man according to the passage?

1. Passage FourteenFor a long time, people have disagreed about whether golf is a sport or a game.On one side of the argument, people say that golf meets the dictionary definition of a sport, because it is a physical, athletic activity.They add that golf is recognized as a sport by sporting goods companies, athletic groups, fans, and the media.Also, golf’s inclusion in the Olympics in 2016 is more proof that it is a sport.On the other side, people say that golf is a game, not a sport.They say golf is not a very physical activity and can be played well by people who are overweight or injured.Also, golf was only recently added to the Olympics.For more than 100 years it was not included in the Olympic Games.For many, the Olympic Games serve as a measurement for whether an activity should be called a sport.Golf was first included in the Olympics in 1900.However, it was removed shortly thereafter because of a lack of participation and conflict with other golf events.Through the years, there were several attempts to bring golf back to the Olympics.It wasn’t until the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil that golf returned.Some say the return of golf does not prove that it is a sport.Rather, it only proves that the Olympics wanted to benefit from the star power of famous golfers like Tiger Woods.The disagreement continues today.Those who think golf is a sport point to pro-golfers like Woods, who are strong and fit.Those who disagree point to golfers like John Daly.He is a successful pro-golfer who once had health problems.So is golf a sport? The answer depends on who you ask——and whether that person owns a set of golf clubs.All the following evidence is used to prove that golf is a sport EXCEPT ().
