Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. Some people express anger openly in a calm, reasonable way. Some explode with anger and scream and shout. But some other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing anger.Many doctors think that repressing anger is more dangerous to a person's health than expressing it. They say that when a person is angry, the brain gives out the same hormones as those produced during tense and nervous situations. They speed up the heart rate and raise blood pressure, so the person feels excited and ready to act. Repressing these feelings will only make the feelings continue and lead to many medical problems. Therefore, these doctors suggest letting the anger out by expressing it freely. But recently, some other doctors have questioned this suggestion. They claim that people who express anger repeatedly and violently become, in fact, more but not less angry. And this could cause medical problems, too.Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger strongly may be more likely to develop heart diseases and that those who keep their anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure.It is said that the solution is to learn how to deal with anger. The first step is to admit that you are angry and recognize the real cause of the anger, and then decide if the cause is severe enough to become angry about. If it is, do not express your anger while you are angry. Wait until your anger has cooled down, and express yourself calmly and reasonably. It is also said that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry, for laughter is much healthier than anger.According to the passage, what have doctors found about hormones?A) Hormones will cause people to become anxious.B) Hormones will be produced when people become angry.C) The brain produces hormones when one's blood pressure rises.D) The brain produces hormones when one has medical problems.

题目解答
答案
我们来一步一步分析这道题：
题目分析：
题干问的是：
> According to the passage, what have doctors found about hormones?
> （根据文章，医生们对荷尔蒙有什么发现？）
我们需要在文章中找到与“hormones（荷尔蒙）”有关的信息，并找出医生们对它的发现。
文章相关部分回顾：
在文章中，关于荷尔蒙的部分是这样写的：
> "They say that when a person is angry, the brain gives out the same hormones as those produced during tense and nervous situations."
这句话的意思是：
> 他们说，当一个人生气时，大脑会释放出与紧张和焦虑时相同的荷尔蒙。
选项分析：
我们来逐个分析选项：
A) Hormones will cause people to become anxious.
（荷尔蒙会导致人们变得焦虑。）
- 文章并没有说荷尔蒙“导致”焦虑，而是说在焦虑或紧张时会分泌荷尔蒙。
- 所以这个选项是因果倒置，不正确。
B) Hormones will be produced when people become angry.
（人们生气时会产生荷尔蒙。）
- 这个选项与文章内容完全一致：
> "when a person is angry, the brain gives out the same hormones..." - 所以这个选项是正确的。
C) The brain produces hormones when one's blood pressure rises.
（当一个人血压升高时，大脑会分泌荷尔蒙。）
- 文章中并没有提到血压升高导致荷尔蒙分泌，而是说荷尔蒙会导致血压升高。
- 所以这个选项是因果关系错误，不正确。
D) The brain produces hormones when one has medical problems.
（当一个人有健康问题时，大脑会分泌荷尔蒙。）
- 文章中没有提到“健康问题”与荷尔蒙分泌的关系。
- 所以这个选项是无关信息，不正确。
结论：
正确答案是：
$\boxed{B}$
解析
考查要点：本题主要考查学生对文章细节信息的捕捉能力，需要准确理解医生们关于“荷尔蒙”研究的发现。
解题核心：定位文章中关于“hormones”的描述，明确医生们的研究结论。
关键点：文章明确指出，当人感到愤怒时，大脑会释放荷尔蒙，而选项需与这一信息完全对应。
关键句定位：
文章中关于荷尔蒙的描述为：
"They say that when a person is angry, the brain gives out the same hormones as those produced during tense and nervous situations."
（他们说，当一个人生气时，大脑会释放与紧张和焦虑时相同的荷尔蒙。）
选项分析：
- A) Hormones will cause people to become anxious.
错误。文章未提及荷尔蒙“导致”焦虑，而是说明在焦虑或紧张时分泌荷尔蒙，因果关系颠倒。 - B) Hormones will be produced when people become angry.
正确。直接对应原文“when a person is angry, the brain gives out hormones”。 - C) The brain produces hormones when one's blood pressure rises.
错误。文章提到荷尔蒙会导致血压升高（"raise blood pressure"），而非血压升高引发荷尔蒙分泌。 - D) The brain produces hormones when one has medical problems.
错误。文章未提及健康问题与荷尔蒙分泌的关系。
