24、Learning to control our greatest fears

Almost everyone is afraid of something, whether that’s snakes, heights, or public speaking.

Fearing something is natural and common, and can even be helpful to frighten ourselves sometimes. In fact, fear can keep our bodies alert (警觉的) so we can act quickly to protect ourselves in the event of danger.

But for some people, fear develops into a “phobia”, which is a strong and unreasonable fear of something.

For example, most of us feel a little scared when looking down from a tall building . But people with terrible acrophobia — a fear of heights — may not only feel dizzy (头晕的) when faced with a great height, they may also even turn down a great job just because the company’s office is on a high floor of a building.

Indeed, phobias can prevent some of us from living a normal life. According to Katherina Hauner, a researcher at Northwestern University in the US, people who are terribly scared of spiders might stay away from their home for days if they knew a spider was there.

However, since it’s thought that fear comes from personal experiences or memories, some scientists believe it’s possible to “rewrite” these unpleasant memories, helping people get through their phobias.

In a study by Hauner and other scientists, people with arachnophobia — a fear of spiders — were asked to first touch a spider with a paintbrush. Once they saw it wasn’t really dangerous, they then tried touching it while wearing a glove. Finally, they were able to hold it with their hands directly.

Certain medicine has also been found to be helpful. Back in 2015, researchers at the University of Hiroshima in Japan injected (注射) a special medicine into a fish — which was afraid of light — to turn off the fear centre in its brain. From then on, the fish no longer feared light.

While the search for ways to deal with phobias is making great progress, there’s still the question of whether getting rid of (去除) fear is a good idea or not. In fact, Dave Smithson of the charity Anxiety UK thinks it’s a bad idea. “It’s fear that prevents us from doing crazy things,” he said. “There’s a name for people who don’t have fear of consequences: psychopaths (精神变态者).”

【1】The main point of the article is to ________.

A．show us what kind of role fear plays in our lives

B．discuss if it is good to try to get rid of fear

C．tell us about fear and phobia

D．discuss scientific studies about fear

【2】How does the writer make the meaning of “phobia” clear?

A．By making comparisons (比较).

B．By giving examples.

C．By giving statistics (数据).

D．By giving lively descriptions (描述).

【3】Which of the following shows the progress scientists have made in finding ways to deal with phobias?

A．They can use phobias to keep our bodies alert.

B．They can now reduce the pain that is connected with the phobia.

C．New medicine can shut off fear centers in animal brains whenever needed.

D．They have succeeded in helping some people pay no attention to the bad memories connected with their phobia.

【4】Which of the following would Dave Smithson probably agree with?

A．There is nothing to fear except fear itself.

B．We should not let fear influence our decisions.

C．Fear is not a completely bad thing.

D．Without fear, everyone would be brave.

25、Almost every kid on the planet loves snacks, and they seldom care how healthy they are. Although some snacks like chocolate and candy are found everywhere, others are unique to a country or a culture.

In Japan, matcha（抹茶）is a kind of green tea powder. It is made from tea leaves and can be used with ice cream or cake. In fact, matcha came from China first but took off in Japan. Biscuits or cookies covered with chocolate are also a Japanese favorite.

Potato chips and French fries are very popular in the US. They are very cheap and tasty. But they are high in calories and eating too much may make you fat. Popcorn（爆米花）is another typical snack. People eat it when they are watching sports games or visiting the amusement park. Most cinemas also sell popcorn.

In the UK, many people sit down for snacks at around 4pm every day. They call it “afternoon tea”. Traditional afternoon tea is biscuits and tea. People also have the scone（烤饼）with jam and cream, which is probably the most classic English snack. Potato chips and French fries are popular in the UK, too.

Do you want to eat snacks in a healthy way? Here are some helpful tips. Have a look! A handful of walnuts is great for your brain. But a whole bag will add nothing but fat. If you’re crazy for chocolate, try a hot chocolate drink instead of a chocolate bar. Don’t eat too many snacks after dinner.
