They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer._Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger, and scream and yell. But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing anger.For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a persons health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases the same hormones (荷尔蒙). They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etc. _Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure._They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is, they say,_Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. _A. In general the person feels excited and ready to act.B. They said that laughter is much healthier than anger.C. Expressing anger violently is more harmful than repressing it.D. Anger may cause you a cancer.E. Do not express your anger while angry.F. Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time.G. Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger.38. （10分）阅读短文，按要求回答问题。 The facedown generation（一代）If you were born in the 2000s, you are called the ohohs. The 21st century. That would make you young, creative, connected, worldwide, and no doubt smart. Maybe goodlooking, too. Right? But what do other people think about your generation?Some adults worry that youre more interested in the screen in front of you than the world around you. They think of you as the facedown generation because you use your phone so much. They wonder how you will deal with school, friends, and family.Other adults worry that todays youth are spoilt(溺爱)and dont want to face the challenges of adult life. Many children born in the 1990s and 2000s were raised by helicopter parents. They were always there to guide and help their children with a busy program filled with homework and afterschool activities such as dancing, drawing, or sports. With parents who do everything for them, todays youth seem to prefer to live like teenagers even when they are in their 20s or 30s.Does the facedown generation need a headsup? Well, probably not. The fact .is that many of todays teenagers are better educated and more creative than past generations. They seem to be willing to become leaders. More young people than ever volunteer to help their communities. There are also brave young people such as Malala Yousafzai, the teenager who won the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize for pushing girls rights to go to school.So if youre one of the ohohs, theres reason to be hopeful about the future. Things are looking up for the facedown generation. Chances are that you do great and laugh out loud.（1）If Alice was born in 2004, is she an ohoh? （2）Why do some adults think of the ohohs as the facedown generation? （3）What are the parents called who always guide and plan everything for their children? （4）How does the writer organize Paragraph 4?
