Most of us will admit that on occasions we can be bad－tempered. This can be for a number of reasons.

       As the body and mind are tired, it seems to take us less time to become angry just because of something that is of little importance. Young children are usually the cause of tiredness and it is highly likely that parents allow themselves to release(释放) their exhaustion directly at the children. Children are very good at remembering these instances and it will affect them for a long time.

    Diet and lifestyle can be key factors in causing a bad temper. Some people don't realize that their diet can directly affect their moods. Processed food and items that contain a lot of sugars, especially those that aren't natural sugars, can cause a rise in blood sugar.   Similarly, lifestyle choices can encourage bad tempers and poor moods, especially if drug and alcohol are used too frequently.

    If you have noticed that you are becoming increasingly bad－tempered, it is important that you take steps to try and regain control.  After you find the cause, try and make positive changes to prevent this from occurring in the future.

A．Find your ways to release your anger.

B．Check what it is that causes the bad mood.

C．Tiredness is often the most common reason.

D．Managing your anger is good for your health.

E．Therefore, it is important to have more patience   when with children.

F．This rise can have a very negative effect on moods  and mental performance.

G．So it is important to keep away from these   temptations(诱惑) for your own mental state.

    One day, I was busy with my business and was 5 for about an hour, completely forgetting about the 6 little boy down the road who might be 7 for his daddy.

    On my way home, the rain was so thick that I could not8 ten feet in front of me. All I could 9was finishing my journey and getting out of the rain.10 the downpour began to become weak. It was only a drizzle (细雨) by the time my car turned the last11 and approached the final street between me and a warm home and nice meal.

    12 I caught sight of my little boy, who was 13 an umbrella in one hand, a walking stick in the other, and was wearing the biggest and most beautiful smile ever to lighten the14 of a little boy.

    As I stopped the car and 15 the door, he ran into my arms and held me. He was wet and 16 with cold, but he never 17the rain, nor the hour-long wait. He simply said, “Daddy, I am so glad you are home.”
