alternatives and mark your answer in the Answer Sheet.
The instinctive, natural way to express
anger is to respond aggressively. Anger is a natural, adaptive response to
threats; it inspire powerful, often aggressive, feelings and behaviors, which
allow us to fight and to defend ourselves when we are attacked. On the other
hand, we can’t physically lash out at every person or object that irritates or
annoys us; laws, social norms and common sense place limits on how far our
anger can take us. People use a variety of both conscious and unconscious
processes to deal with their angry feelings. The three main approaches are
expressing, suppressing and calming. Expressing your angry feelings in an
assertive – not aggressive – manner is the healthiest way to express anger.
Being assertive doesn’t mean being pushy or demanding; it means being
respectful of yourself and others. Anger can be suppressed and then converted
or redirected. This happens when you hold in your anger, stop thinking about it
and focus on something positive.

Democratic
societies from the earliest times have expected their governments to protect
the weal against the strong. No ‘era of good feelings’ can justify discharging
the police force or giving up the idea of pubic control over concentrated
private wealth. On the other hand, it is moderation on the part of those who
hold economic power will greatly soften the demand for absolute equality. Men
are more interested in freedom and security than in an equal distribution of
wealth. The extent to which Government must interfere with business, therefore,
is not exactly measured by the extent to which economic power is concentrated
into a few hands. The required degree of government interference depends mainly
on whether economic power are oppressively use, and on the necessity of keeping
economic factors in a tolerable state of balance.
But with the necessity of meeting all
these dangers and threats to liberty, the powers of government are unavoidably
increased, which political party may be in office. The growth of government is
a necessary result of the growth of technology and of the problems that go with
the use of machines and science. Since the government is our nation, must take
on more powers to meet its problems, there is no way to preserve freedom except
by making democracy more powerful.

(A) freedom of people

(A) make the rich and poor happy

(A) time of prosperity
