22、Directions: complete the following passage by using the sentenced given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
It is a common experience for many: You make donations to others, such as unfortunate people in disaster-stricken areas, and you are appreciated. 【1】
A billionaire couple has recently made one of the biggest charitable donations to a university in China’s history. Chen Tianqiao and Chrissy Luo, co-founders of China’s Shanda Group, donated $115 million (799 million yuan) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to help advanced brain research. The couple’s donation will be spent building a neuroscience(神经科学) institute, with the aim of deepening the understanding of how the brain works, according to a statement from Caltech. Chen has been interested in brain research for a long time.
However, this huge donation has caused heated discussions among Chinese scholars and internet users alike.
Many criticized them for choosing to give money to a foreign university rather than Chinese institutes for brain research, which are developing fast and are on track to catch up with the US in just a few years. 【2】
Others, however, support the couple’s choice for brain research. They believe Caltech is a more rational choice compared to Chinese research institutions. 【3】 In addition, the results of the research benefit not only the American people, but also the rest of the world.
A similar controversy started two years ago when Pan Shiyi, chairman of SOHO China, along with his wife Zhang Xin, donated $15 million to Harvard University to help disadvantaged Chinese students.
Many believe that China is still behind in the management and use of donated money, and that as a result, Chinese philanthropists(慈善家) are looking abroad. 【4】 In comparison, Western countries like the US, which have a long history of donating money, have well-developed systems that use the donations efficiently.
“To get more donations, Chinese universities should be bolder and more honest… they need self-reflection, rather than jealousy,” commented Xinhua.
A. Rao Yi, a biologist and professor at Peking University, even said the donation was a “typical mistake”.
B. Some previously planned to donate to a Chinese university, but this didn’t happen after the university refused to give them a report on the planned use of the money.
C. It can shape the industries of the future such as artificial intelligence, robotics and virtual reality.
D. However, donations can also draw criticism.
AB. They can also provide full access for donors who want to trace the use of the money.
AC. It has a long history and has taken a leading position in biology and neuroscience studies, therefore producing more efficient results.

Shadow Ridge Summer Camps Camp memories last forever! We make sure they are unforgettable! Shadow Ridge Summer Camps offer so many exciting things for campers to do. Unlike other camp programs that include horses as a small part of their program, at Shadow Ridge horses are the program! We are 100% horse from stable(马厩) management, nature walks, and track rides to bedroom furnishings. Horses help us achieve many of our aims. Girls can learn to develop responsibility, self-confidence and personal connections in their lives while having fun. Using horses as a wonderful tool for education, our camps offer an interesting place for growth and learning. Imagine each girl having her very own horse to spend time with and a best friend to love and take care of. Each camper is responsible for a horse for the week. Our riding program provides a lot of riding and lesson time. Campers will learn how to take care of the horse and the tack(马具), as well as how to ride. Days are filled with horse-related activities to strengthen the connection between each girl and horse, as the girls learn to work safely around the horses. At Shadow Ridge we try to create a loving, caring family atmosphere for our campers. We have “The Bunkhouse”(4 girls), “the Wranglers Roost”(4 girls), and “The Hideout”(2 girls) in our comfortable 177-year-old farm house. All meals are home cooked, offering delicious and healthy food for the hungry rider. Our excellent activities create personalized memories of your child’s vacation. Each child will receive a camp T-shirt and a photo album (usually 300-500 pictures) of their stay at camp. Our camps are offered during June, July and August 2007, for small groups of girls aged 13-16 years, not only from Canada but also other parts of the world.

24、 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 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 books and movies, and also the long lines for a scary roller coaster ride.
Margee Kerr, a US sociologist, explained why to Time For Kids.
Fear fills our brain with healthy chemical substances, especially endorphins and dopamine, 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 house, and you'll see lots of smiles and high fives," 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 presentation in front of your class or performing in a school play help build a sort of endurance to fear that makes us more confident.
“You become more comfortable with the physical experience of fear, and so you are 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】What is the article mainly about?
A.The benefits fear brings us. B.Different ways to deal with fear.
C.People's misunderstandings about fear. D.A new study about fear.
【2】Why is a scary roller coaster ride helpful to people according to the article?

B.It makes people less cowardly and more confident in life.
C.It teaches people how to keep away from things that could be dangerous.
D.It causes the brain to produce chemicals that make people happy and excited.
【3】The underlined phrase “bond with” in Paragraph 8 is closest in meaning to _________.
A.pay attention to B.fight against
C.get closer to D.be more careful with
【4】What is the right attitude toward fear according to the article?
