Each of us (4)       our anger in our own ways. Sometimes we (5)       it in a way that seems good in the moment, but it may cause more problems. Sometimes we (6)       keep our anger (7)       because we don't want to make trouble. But that just seems to make us feel worse.

12． Alexander McCall Smith was raised in Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) and moved to Scotland at age 18 to study at the University of Edinburgh. He received a law degree in 1971 and then returned to Africa, where he helped to build the law school at the University of Botswana.
In 1976 McCall Smith published (出版) his first fiction, a children's novel. He went on to write more children's books, many of which are set in Africa. Children of Wax: African Folk Tales (1989), a collection aimed at both children and adults, is formed by the stories he collected in Zimbabwe.
He also wrote radio plays and short stories, and it was from one of the latter (后者)that the novel The No. I Ladies' Detective Agency came out. First published in Great Britain in 1998, it sold slowly at first, and it did rot appear in the United States until 2002, after McCall Smith had already published two more books centered on Mma Ramotswe. It then became an international best seller. Mma Ramotswe, a kind and cheerful woman of traditional build, likes to help people. She is the founder of Botswana's first and only female﹣run detective agency. Her methods may not be traditional, but she's got warmth and wit (机智)on her side. That's the side the writer sees in the people of Botswana.

13． I don't know if I mentioned this before, but I am SUPER good at video games. I'll bet I could beat anyone in my grade head-to-head.
Unfortunately, Dad does not exactly appreciate my , skills. He's always getting on me about going out and doing something"active".
So tonight after dinner when Dad started hassling me about going outside, 1 tried to explain how with video games, you can play sports like football and soccer, and you don't even get all hot and sweaty (流汗).
But as usual, Dad didn't see my logic (逻辑).
Dad is a pretty smart guy in general but when it comes to common sense sometimes I wonder about him. Every time Dad kicks me out of the house to do something sporty, I just go up to Rowley's and play my video games there.
Unfortunately, the only games I can play at Rowley's are car-racing games and stuff like that. Because whenever I bring a game up to Rowley's house, his dad looks it up on some parents website. And if my game has ANY kind of fighting or violence (暴力) in it he won't let us play.
I'm getting a little sick of playing Formula One Racing with Rowley, because he's not a serious gamer like me. All that you have to do to beat Rowley is name your car something ridiculous at the beginning of the game.
And then when you pass Rowley's car, he just falls to pieces.
Anyway, after I got done sweeping the floor with Rowley today, I headed home. I ran. through the neighbor's sprinkler(喷水器) a couple of times to make it look like I was all sweaty, and that seemed to do the trick for Dad. But my trick kind of failed, because as soon as Mom saw me, she made me go upstairs and take a shower.

17．"Just because you can't see something, that doesn't mean it's not there. "This old saying is quite meaningful for British sculptor (雕刻家) Willard. The items he creates are so small that most of them fit on the head of a pin. You can see them clearly only through a microscope (显微镜).
Many people want to own his art pieces. He's been honoured by the Queen of England for his great art achievements. At every one of his exhibitions, the question is always the same. How does he do it?
The answer is very, very carefully. So carefully in fact, that he actually slows his breathing down and works in between breaths. Willard usually works under a microscope using special tools that he creates. To paint his works, he uses the hair from a fly as a paintbrush.
Creating these detailed works is a very long and difficult process, and it isn't always enjoyable. "It is a terrible dream when I start but a nice dream when I finish, "he says. A single item can take at least several weeks to complete.
People have asked Willard why he chose to do something that needed effort and took time. His interest in creating small things began when he was five. He started creating houses and playgrounds for ants. Willard was not a strong student. He had difficulty in reading and spelling words. Some kids used to call him a loser. This made him feel small, so focusing on little things helped him to feel big. The smaller his work got, the bigger he felt. A newspaper reporter said, "Willard has shown the world that he is special. Though　his works are very small, he is great. "

18．Post-It Notes were invented by accident. The man behind Post-It notes was Spencer Silver. According to the former Vice President of Technical Operations for 3M Geoff Nicholson (now retired), in 1968, Silver was working at 3M trying to create especially strong adhesives (粘合剂) for use in the aerospace industry in building planes. Instead of a super strong adhesive, though, he accidentally managed to create a weak, pressure sensitive adhesive :thing. This adhesive did not interest 3M management as it was seen as too weak to be useful. It did have two interesting features, though. The first is that, when stuck to: a surface; it can be taken away without leaving any residue (残留物). The second big feature is that the adhesive is re-usable. Despite these two great features, no one, not even Silver himself, could think up a good marketable use for it.
Finally, in 1973, when Geoff Nicholson became products Jaboratory manager at 3M, Silver came to him with the adhesive and :gave him samples to play with Silver also suggested what he saw as his best idea for what to use the adhesive for, making a board with the adhesive sprayed on it. One could then stick pieces of paper to the board without tacks, tape, or the like. The paper could be easily peeled away without any residue.
After years in development, they were finally a hit and have since become important in offices the world over, today being one of the top five best selling office products in the world.
Another interesting thing about Post-It notes is about the color. Ever wonder why the standard color for Post-It notes is yellow? It turns out this was kind of an accident as well. The official story from some at 3M is that it was because it created a "good emotional (情感) connection with users" and that it would "contrast (对比) well stuck to white paper". However, according to Geoff Nicholson there was no such thought. The real reason Post-It notes were yellow was simply because the lab next door to where they were working on the Post-It notes had some yellow paper — that's why they were yellow; and when we went back and said 'hey guys, you got any more yellow paper?'they said you want any more go buy it yourself, and that's what we did, and that's why they were yellow. It was another one of those unexpected accidents. It was not thought out; nobody said they'd better be yellow rather than white because they would blend in — it was a complete accident."
