READING COMPREHENSION :

A usually calm teacher showed an aberration in behavior one day. Instead of being kind, he almost decided to capitulate to anger. But he realized anger can debilitate the mind, and such feelings are often ephemeral.

At that moment, a fortuitous event happened—a cheerful and gregarious student entered the room and lightened the mood. The teacher smiled, thinking how his reaction could have turned into a hackneyed scene of shouting and regret.

He controlled his impetuous thoughts and began to juxtapose patience with anger in his mind. Slowly, his lethargic mood turned into energetic , then class continued happily.
