【題目】閱讀表達(dá)

閱讀短文，并按照題目要求用英語(yǔ)回答問(wèn)題。

It is challenging for some people to learn how to be patient with others. After all, not everybody is gifted with great patience. The good news is that it is something that can be learned and eventually perfected.

When the customer before you takes ages to pay for his or her groceries, you tap your foot impatiently and cough every now and then to remind the customer to move quickly; but no, he is still not hurrying up. It takes all of your power not to quarrel publicly. However, if you imagine that customer to be someone you like, then you will find yourself not getting angry, right?

So the next time you find yourself losing patience with somebody, simply think of that person to be someone you really adore and your patience will last longer.

The second step on how to be patient with people involves whistling. When you whistle a happy tune, you instantly cheer up. You can sing your favorite song if you can't whistle — it really doesn't make a difference. What's important here is that you have done something that makes you feel good. And when you feel good, you are more likely to be patient with the people around you.

When you're stressed, it's almost impossible to learn how to be patient with people. You have got to find a way to relax first. If you know you're going to be in a situation where your patience will be tested, get yourself a massage(按摩) first. Remember: the more stressed you are, the faster you'll lose your temper. However, learning how to be patient with people is not a must in life.

What's important here is that you have done something that makes you feel good作者告訴我們?nèi)绻�你要生氣的時(shí)候，就吹口哨，要吹出你自己喜歡的音樂(lè)，意為唱歌和吹口哨是你喜歡的事情，所以你也許就不會(huì)再生氣了。

【4】To find a way to relax first.細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章第五段第二句You have got to find a way to relax first.可知當(dāng)你感覺(jué)有壓力的時(shí)候，首先你要找到一個(gè)放松自己的方法。
