Many strong and out-of-control emotions are recognized as an illness. People who are always very sad have depression (抑郁癥); those who worry a lot have anxiety.
But what about anger problems? Anger is largely viewed as a secondary emotion – one caused by other emotions. People are thought to be angry because they are sad, anxious or stressed. In the past, many doctors didn’t accept the idea that anger could be a problem all on its own.
Today, though, a growing number of mental health experts think that anger is a serious problem that needs its own treatment.
How to tell the difference between “normal” anger and “anger problem” is difficult. After all, everyone gets really mad from time to time. Experts point out a few ways.
Disordered anger, as it is sometimes called, tends to be of greater intensity (強度). It takes very little to set off a person with an anger problem, and their responses (反應) are very strong. An example: While most people would get upset if a driver cut them off, someone with disordered anger might try to chase down the car and force it off the road.
And in cases of disordered anger, the person gets angry more frequently and his/her anger lasts longer. For most people, angry feelings disappear quickly. But people with anger problems often stay angry for days, weeks or even years; their feelings of anger don’t disappear over time.
Consequences are also important to consider: Disordered anger often damages people’s lives. “It interferes (干擾) with people’s relationships and their jobs,” says Raymond Chip Tafrate, a US psychologist. “Even their health is affected.”
Anger clearly increases the risk of certain health problems, as many studies have shown. “When a person is angry, their heart beats faster and their blood pressure goes up,” says Howard Kassinove, a professor at Hofstra University in New York. Over time, these changes take their toll on the body, he adds.
Experts suggest that people with an anger problem take anger-management programs. The programs teach people to control their responses to stressful situations through the use of relaxation techniques. The programs sometimes include life-skills training as well: increasing someone’s level of competence (競爭)– whether on the job or as a parent or partner – helps bring down stress and cut angry feelings.

　　Winter is dangerous because it's so difficult to drive and accidents take place so easily. Fog (霧) can be waiting to meet you over the top of a hill. Ice might be hiding under the melting (融化) snow， waiting ahead (前面) to send you off the road． The car coming to you may suddenly slip across the road.

　　Rule Number One for driving on icy roads is to drive smoothly(平穩地).Sudden movements can make a car very difficult to control.So every time you either start or stop your car，increase or reduce your speed，you must be as gentle and slow as possible. Suppose you are driving with a full cup of hot coffee on the seat next to you. Drive so that you wouldn't spill (濺)it.

　　Rule Number Two is to pay attention to what might happen. The more ice there is，the further down the road you have to look. Test how long it takes to gently stop your car. Remember that you may be driving more quickly than you think. Generally，allow twice of your usual stopping distance when the road is wet，three times this distance on snow，and even more on ice. Try to stay in control of your car at all times and you will not get into trouble.
