Rumor（谣言）英语作文

Rumor英语作文
Rumor is the most primitive way of spreading stories—by passing them on from mouth to mouth.

In times of stress and confusion, however, rumor emerges and becomes widespread. Rumors spread especially rapidly during wars. Since the people cannot learn through legitimate channels, rumor thrives.

Increasingly those who do not believe they often repeat rumors. Optimistic rumors about production record or peace bring about confidence---and often overconfidence.

However, these things would not make life worth living, unless we were able to enjoy them. Whether or not we can enjoy these things depends on the emotions.

Emotion is the word we use to describe feelings such as love, hatred, joy, sorrow, fear, anger, hope, gloom etc. These feelings play an important part in our lives: they not only influence our happiness but also affect our health.

People often speak of the need of control emotions. And an intelligent man will constantly monitor his emotions. It is true that emotions can surge up so quickly that you may do something on the spur of the moment you will regret later.

Another way to control your emotions is to talk about how you feel with other people. If you can say why you feel sad, then you will be halfway to get a grip on that feeling.

Some emotions are better avoided completely. The cold, sinister, snake-like emotions of hate and jealousy should always be contained as soon as they begin to tempt a person. Jealousy and hate make a person mentally small and stupid. They should not be shown and they should be extinguished.
