21、   Being scared is not always a treat. When a balloon pops, we may jump. 【1】 How does the body triggered（激发）these reactions? When we encounter something we're not familiar with, our brain and body start making changes to help prepare us for the unknown. These changes are part of the body's " threat," "stress," or "fight — or — flight" response. This response is triggered by the five senses, which are always sending information to the brain. 【2】, the brain sounds a danger alarm. It releases chemicals into the bloodstream, and those chemicals act on different parts of the body. Once the body is alert（警觉的），the brain decides whether or not the danger is real.

【3】 It urges a person to hide, run away, or defend oneself. Faster heartbeat and breathing send more blood and oxygen to the muscles so they're ready when they're needed. Stress chemicals can make a person more alert. Our memories also help protect us. We keep a close eye on babies because they don't understand what might hurt them. As babies grow, they learn what's unsafe, and their brains store those memories 【4】

Experiences can lead to long-lasting fears that may stop a person from trying new things. We're born with the ability to feel fear, but a lot of what we're afraid of is learned. A long-lasting fear can mean you’re had a bad experience, and your brain doesn't want you to have it again. Many people have beaten their own fears. Here's one method. 【5】, they learn the facts about anything that seems scary. Knowledge can help a person feel less afraid.

A. Instead of listening to their imagination

B. When they signal something unexpected

C. Our heart beats harder, and we breathe faster

D. Then their brains use fear to warn them of dangers

E. It's good to have a healthy sense of what's dangerous

F. Fear is a tool that the brain uses to keep the body safe

G. Memories are an important factor in fear-lasting experiences

23、   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.

A.It improves people's ability to survive in the world.

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.

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?
