《大学英语快速阅读（4 第二版 新题型 南方版）》：
What you want to learn is how to recognize when you're ticked and deal with it effectively.This way， you get to express yourself and you probably get more of what you need from others and respect them and yourself in the process.
One healthy way to deal with your anger （one that works great with parents in particular） is the cool down approach.Here it is in four easy steps：
1.When something gets you really steamed， try to stop， calm down， and think before you do or say anything.
2.Once you're calm， try to say what the problem is and how it makes you feel.（"Mom， I don' t like it when you hand out a punishment before you' ve even given me the chance to do what you've asked.It makes me feel like a little kid."）
3.Try to think of some solutions and what the consequences of the solutions would be （one solution here would be not cleaning your room— but if you thought about it， you' d see where that would get you）.
