You may have been told before not to be afraid of anything. Fear is often associated with weakness. Fear is something to be avoided. But that’s not true, according to Time For Kids magazine. Fear can be good for us. Fear tells us about danger. Without fear, we wouldn’t know to run away from a tiger or step back from a cliff. In a study published in the Justice Quarterly journal in August, researchers from Michigan State University said that a healthy fear of crime keeps teenagers away from potentially（潜在地） dangerous people, places, and activities. Fear makes us jump, scream and sweat. But interestingly, sometimes we make ourselves feel fear on purpose. Think about scary（恐怖的） books and movies, and also the long lines for a scary roller coaster(过山车）ride. Margee Kerr, a US sociologist, explained why to Time For Kids. Fear fills our brain with healthy chemical substances, especially endorphins (内啡肽) and dopamine (多巴胺), and these things create feelings of happiness and excite us, according to Kerr. In addition, when you’re scared, your body produces a chemical which helps people bond with each other. “Watch people walking out of a haunted (闹鬼的） house, and you’ll see lots of smiles and high fives （击掌）,” Kerr told Time For Kids. That also explains why schools and companies organize challenging trips and physical activities to build up team spirit. People experience and deal with fear in different ways. If you happen to be a “coward” who gets scared easily, don’t worry. There is some evidence that being scared can help a person manage stressful situations. Kerr said that things like giving a report in front of your class or performing in a school play help build a sort of endurance (忍耐力) to fear that makes us more confident. “You become more comfortable with the physical experience of fear, and so you’re better able to work through it during tense situations,” said Kerr. So learn to love your fear. It only grows when we forget how helpful our fear is trying to be. 1.Why is a scary roller coaster ride helpful to people according to the passage? A.It improves people's ability to live in the modern world. B.It makes people less cowardly and more confident in life. C.It causes the brain to produce chemicals that make people happy and excited. D.It teaches people how to keep away from things that could be dangerous. 2.The underlined part “bond with” in Paragraph 8 probably means . A.get closer to B.fight against C.pay attention to D.be more careful with 3.What is the right attitude toward fear according to the passage? A.Avoid being involved (涉及) in scary situations. B.Experience it as often as possible. C.Consider it as a sign of weakness. D.Enjoy healthy fear occasionally (偶尔地). 4.What's the passage mainly about? A.People's misunderstandings about fear. B.Different ways to deal with fear. C.The benefits (好处) that fear brings us. D.A new study about fear’s harm.

What can help us when we fail? ◆ Don’t make yourself stop trying. A baby learns to walk not by walking, but by falling. He doesn’t give up until he learns to walk.1.Sometimes, you may feel sad because you don’t make much progress. But if you give up, your progress will come to an end. ◆ Understand the power of optimism (乐观). 2.. To be optimistic(乐观的) means to believe something good will always happen. Kids don’t ask whether they can do something or not, because they know they can. ◆ 3. Those who are independent(独立的) can deal with problems and stress more easily than those who aren’t. And you should be more confident to be independent. ◆ Don’t look back. It takes adults too much of their lives to look back.4. A baby wouldn’t learn to walk if he kept looking behind himself while trying to move forward. Use just 10 percent more of your time to look forward and you’ll find yourself in a better condition. Failure is a part of life since the earliest moment of life. It’s a normal and natural part of life that is neither bad nor good---it’s just how we learn. So the question isn’t whether you want to fail or not, but how quickly you can accept your failure. Just learn something from it, and try again. 根据短文内容，从下列选项中选出能填入文中空白处的最佳选项，选项中有一项为多余选项。 A.Be more confident than before. B.There’s nothing back there to see. C.Learn to depend on yourself first, then others. D.You can do something new successfully if you keep trying. E.Optimism can open you up to more possibilities than usual.

Why are some animals popular while others are so unpopular? In the natural world, every animal has its place and purpose. However, people do not always realize it. For example, it’s a common misunderstanding that snakes are dangerous and will attack (攻击) humans for no reason. In fact, almost all snakes prefer to run away or hide A they’re attacked first. Snakes aren’t the only animals that are misunderstood. People think that cockroaches (蟑螂) are dirty and like to hide in dark places. In fact, cockroaches usually clean themselves as much as cats do. They prefer to live in clean places. They have to hide wherever they can make sure to live. Luckily, they are very hard to die out. They were here on the planet B humans appeared, and they’ll probably be here after we’re gone! Wasps (黄蜂) also have a bad fame. Many people hate wasps because they believe that wasps sting (叮) humans at a moment’s notice. Actually, most wasps don’t sting at all. Those that do sting are generally protecting their young, or reacting to humans who shout or wave their hands at the wasps. Should we care about these misunderstood animals? Yes, we should! Every animal species plays an important role in the ecosystem (生态系统). Some help control other pest populations. Some are useful for medical research. Even misunderstood animals are necessary, because in many ways they’re good to humans. 1.Fill in each blank with one word.
