Four online anger management classes
•Online Therapy
Online Therapy helps people with anger problems, as well as other areas like stress, social anxiety and relationship problems. Its therapists (治疗师) are online eight hours per day Monday through Friday. For privacy purposes, you can use a false name to get services. By spending $47.96 a week, you can access 25 worksheets and daily replies from a therapist in a week.
•Undemy
Anger Management Techniques That Actually Work is a course offered on Udemy and consists of three hours of videos, two articles, and extra resources. In this course, you’ll learn whatever can make you angry, and how to calm down and create deep relaxation. The course costs $139.99 but does sometimes go on sale at a fairly low price.
•Betterhelp
Betterhelp is an online therapy website that treats various problems, including anger problems. To begin with, you’ll need to complete a brief survey on the problems you’re experiencing. Betterhelp will then match you to a therapist. Afterward, you’ll be assigned to an appointed chatroom where you’ll communicate privately with your therapist. It’s $65 a week for the first month. After the first month, it will be $60 to $80 per week.
•The Logan Group Int.
The Logan Group Int. offers various classes, including anger management classes. There’re nine different hourly anger management courses that range from 4 to 30 hours. Hourly classes range from $24.95 to $159.95, depending on the length.

Dr Nicola Patron’s office is a little different. Near the window hangs a modern artwork of the plant Nicotiana benthamiana, a host on which to grow medicinal or agriculturally useful substances. Here is where engineering, biology and art overlap (重叠).
Despite her green fingers, Nicola’s childhood dream was to become an astrophysicist. At 17, she joined a science programme that invited students to grow and observe seeds flown to the International Space Station. “It was the first experimental data I ever had. It’s so fun,” she says. “Meanwhile, I was volunteering for a homeless charity, which made me think about food security and distribution. The combination of these two things shifted what I wanted to do: biological sciences suddenly seemed relevant.”
Young Nicola was a few years early for the birth of bioengineering, but technology has since caught up with her ideas. Nicola can now apply engineering principles to biological systems, and guide how plant genes (基因) are expressed.
Her lab is working on fungal-resistant (抗真菌的) crops. This resistance is determined by a gene network, where genes regulate each other in a complex process. To speed up this search, Nicola cooperates with mathematicians. Candidate genes can be tested in mathematical models to predict their impact on characteristics like growth and resistance. Finally, Nicola can work on encoding promising genes into a piece of DNA．If proven effective, this could be transformative for food security.
In another part of Nicola’s work, she’s trying to identify sustainable ways to produce plant-based medicines. Some medically useful plants aren’t easy to mass produce, making the drug expensive. Fortunately, biologists can program another organism to produce it with high efficiency and low cost. That’s what Nicola is doing with Nicotiana benthamiana. She describes the process as “reading nature’s blueprints and directing its energy to more powerful ends.”
4．What motivated Nicola to pursue biological sciences?
A．Her childhood dream of being an astrophysicist.
B．Her natural talent for growing seeds from space.
C．Her big ideas of combining engineering and biology.
D．Her experience in scientific projects and charity work.
5．Why does Nicola use mathematical models in her research?
A．To clarify the research process. B．To help select the promising genes.
C．To balance growth and resistance. D．To address food security challenges.
6．What is Nicola’s belief in medicinal development?
A．Nature should be viewed as a guideline.
B．High efficiency should be achieved at all costs.
C．Ways should be found to mass produce plants.
D．Priority should be given to cost-effective plants.
