On the 2nd of January, each member of the family writes their favorite poem or proverb (谚语) onto a long piece of paper.

25、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.
26、A Universty Professor Turns Into an Astronaut
Gui Haichao is a young professor at Beihang University. On May 30, 2023, he arrived at China’s space station by Shenzhou XVI spacecraft. He has become an idol for numerous people in China overnight. As a payload expert (载荷专家), he mainly conducted space science experiments. Gui’s story is very inspiring. It shows that dreams can be reached by efforts.
Gui grew up in a rural family in Shi Dian County, Yunnan Province. He loved science as a child. He kept a set of encyclopedias from which he gained a lot of knowledge about space. In his second year of high school, he listened to the campus radio and got the news of Yang Liwei’s first space flight for China. Suddenly, he felt excited, and his interest in exploring (探索) space began. After his college entrance examination, Gui placed first in science in his county, and he was admitted to Beihang University.
Gui studied aircraft design and engineering at university. He got a doctor’s degree after nine years of study. He then went overseas for further study. After returning to China, he taught at his alma mater (母校). He had a dream of moving his beloved scientific work into space.
“I wasted no time in applying,” Gui remembered the moment when he found the notice. In 2018, China made a plan to recruit its third group of astronauts. After several rounds of selection for more than two years, Gui stood out among about 2,500 candidates and became one of the four selected payload experts.
Over the past few years, Gui has got survival training (生存训练) in deserts and been trained to handle those complex equipment (设备). He learned to do experiments in the space environment. The training was a great challenge for him. “I felt very dizzy often,” said Gui. “So I added exercises and used some methods used by pilots.”
As a teacher, Gui was strict about studying. When reviewing essays for students, he would always give the right advice in detail. Gui would sometimes list 30 to 40 suggestions, even pointing out incorrect images. In the eyes of his students, Gui is positive (乐观的) and open-minded, seldom affected by a bad mood. In the face of setbacks (挫折), he quickly cheers himself up and gets back to his work with passion.
Gui has done space experiments in many fields. “I believe that we can finish the mission with our team’s efforts,” he said proudly.
