问题     Psychiatric tests show that a well-balanced person gets much angrier when offended than an abnormal person does. At the New York State Psychiatric Institute, Dr. James Page and Professor of Psychology Carney Landis of Columbia University studied the reaction of 200 normal persons and 210 abnormal persons. They tested their reactions to annoying situations of every type and variety such as: being laughed at, being repeatedly disconnected on the telephone, accidentally hitting their thumb with a hammer, being worked on by a backseat driver, being told to "shut up" and mind their own business, discovering someone cheating in a friendly card game, etc. In almost every instance the anger reaction of the normal group was much more intense than that of the abnormal one.
    "This," they reported, "is agreeing with other psychiatric findings. For one of the outstanding symptoms of mental unbalance is lack of emotion. So if you blow your top when you hit your head against a piece of furniture, or when your girlfriend goes out with another young man--don’t worry about it. It is just a sign that you are normal."
The author suggests that if you feel angry at something offensive, you should ______.

选项 A、take it as normal reaction
B、cover up your feelings
C、try to control your anger
D、not worry about what has made you angry

答案A

解析 本题为细节题。选项B的意思是“掩盖你的感觉”,选项C意思是“试着控制你的愤怒”,选项D的意思是“别担心使你生气的事情”,均是错误的陈述。文章中第二段的后半部分讲到:“你把头撞到家具上的时候,或者你的女朋友和别的年轻男子出去的时候,如果你怒发冲冠,则证明你是一个正常人。”因此,选项A为正确答案。
