Fear and its companion pain are two of the most useful things that man and animals possess if they are used. If fire didn’t hurt when it burned, children would play with it until their hands were burned away. Similarly, if pain existed but fear didn’t, a child could burn itself again and again because fear would not warn it to keep away from the fire that had burnt it before. A really fearless soldier—and some do exist—is not a good soldier because he is soon killed; and a dead soldier is of no use to his army. Fear and pain are therefore two guards without which man and animals might soon die out.

In our first sentence we suggested that fear ought to be properly used. If, for example, you never go out of your house because of the danger of being knocked down and killed in the street by a car, you are letting fear rule you too much. The important thing is not to let fear rule you, but instead, to use fear as your servant and guide. Fear will warn you of dangers; then you have to decide what action to take.

In many cases, you can take quick and successful action to avoid the danger. For example, you see a car coming straight towards you; fear warns you, you jump out of the way, and all is well.

In some cases, however, you decide that there is nothing that you can do to avoid the danger. For example, you cannot prevent an airplane crashing into your house, and you may not want to go and live in a desert where there are no airplanes. In this case, fear has given you its warning, you have examined it and decided on your course of action, so fear of the particular danger is no longer of any use to you, and you have to try to overcome it.

Sometimes it is difficult to talk to taxi drivers. They must give all their attention to the road as they work out the shortest way to the place where you are going. However, passengers from Wangfujing were in surprise when they took a taxi. The driver just would not stop talking - in English.

Organized by the Cultural and Education Section of the British Embassy, “Dare to Speak” examines if Chinese people will speak English in “real-life” situations.

Matthew Knowles, an acting student from South Carolina at Beijing Film Academy, acted the part as the “driver”. He collected six passengers on Saturday morning, most of whom were female white-collar (白领)workers.

“Of course they were surprised at first, wondering why I’m driving a taxi, and wondering whether this is a real taxi, but then most of them were pretty willing to speak,” he said. Knowles said he was also surprised by his “passengers”. “Apart from my first ‘passenger’, who could speak very little English, all the rest spoke English very well, and it was fun to communicate with them,” he said, adding that some “passengers” were quite talkative.

The “foreign taxi driver” project was just one of the “Dare to Speak” activities, which have been going on since the end of October. Other projects included a foreign store owner near a high school in Beijing, a cook in a Shanghai university canteen. They were testing the willingness of Chinese people, especially students and white-collar workers, to speak to foreigners in English.

Rong Xin, senior manager of IELTS (雅思) with the British Embassy, said they hoped to let IELTS takers in China know that communication is the ultimate goal of IELTS.

“We hope that more and more IELTS takers in China can realize the importance of communicating in English in real life, instead of just getting high test scores,” she said.

1.Why did Matthew Knowles drive a taxi?

A.He took part in the project “Dear to speak”

B.He played the role of a taxi driver in a film.

C.He enjoyed chatting with people in English.

D.He wanted to improve his Chinese while driving.

2.The Chinese may meet and talk to _______ in “Dear to speak” projects.

A.a white-collar worker B.a foreign store owner

C.a restaurant manager D.a high school student

3.The underlined word ultimate is closest in meaning to ________.

A.most difficult B.most common

C.most famous D.most important

4.The purpose of the project “Dear to Speak” is to _______ .

A.attract more foreigners to start business in China

B.draw Chinese people’s attention to IELT

C.remind language learners of the goal of learning

D.give more chances for English learners in China

Dear Daddy, you stepped into my life years ago, and became my dad, a man who raised three fatherless kids and adopted(领养) another. It didn’t matter to you or us whether we were your biological kids or not—you are our dad! You did everything humanly possible for us, and you managed to have taken care of Mom, who has been sick, and the grandkids as well. Lessons we learned are love and compassion and kindness…We love you dearly.

My dad taught me how to play basketball. He taught me how to pivot, throw three pointers, and do lay-ups and dunks. Now I am a pro (职业球员) at basketball. When I played basketball in December, I was a good guard. Although I sometimes didn’t play very well and my team lost the game, my dad always encouraged me never to lose heart. Now I have a dream that when I grow up I can play basketball on the Celtics. I love my dad!

C

D

The most important thing that my dad ever taught me was “Stick to it. Never do anything halfway”. He always told me that by doing your very best, you prove your ability, commitment and character. This advice was what I always kept in mind, whether I was removing the snow from the driveway, helping do the volunteer work in the nursing house or completing my last course in graduate school.

“It shows what kind of person you are,” my dad would say. “People will remember and respect you for that.” I do remember and respect my dad’s advice, which will guide me to do anything.

My dad has taught me many things. He has taught me love, hope, respect, discipline and the value of hard work. He has taught me never to be afraid, but when I am, his arms are always open for me to run into. He has taught me the value of a job well done. He has taught me how to ride a bike, then to drive a car. He always tells me that he believes in me and that I can manage to deal with the things around me. He is teaching me how to grow up but not grow apart. My dad is always there for me, and he has told me that he always will be.

F

My dad teaches me throughout my lifetime to present day that family is first. He says, “As the father, you should put your own wants and needs aside to make sure that your wife and children have the best that life has to offer.” He did this without failing every day of our lives, without words or empty promises; instead, through sleepless nights and tireless actions always with a smile. His words always remind me what I should do for the family. I am proud to be his son. I love you, Dad.

My dad and I have a funny company we call “Priority”. It changes depending on the household chores we’re doing. He has taught me how to take care of the pool (Priority Pools), how to program garage doors (Priority Garages), how to plan family birthday parties (Priority Parties), how to install dishwashers (Priority Dishwashers) and how to clean the computer (Priority Computers). The list goes on. I’m proud of my dad, and grateful for my time with him. We have so much fun doing projects together.

Dear Mr. Plant,

I am an enthusiastic camper and longtime X-Ports customer, but after being offended(冒犯)for the third time at your Sierra Vista location, I am writing to complain about your impolite employees.

Several months ago ,I bought a tent that leaked(漏)the first time I used it and wanted it replaced . When I took it back, your employees accused me of tearing it myself. I left not only withm1, torn tent, but no refund(退款) and no satisfaction.

A couple of weeks ago , I bought a sleeping bag that was supposed to sleep two people comfort-ably. It didn't. Your employees refused to give me my money back even though I had the receipt. I was asked to leave the store, again with no satisfaction.

To my misfortune, my latest purchase(购买), of a piece of camping equipment at your store proyed to be another disappointment. The propane (丙烷) camp stove I bought didn't work properly. When I returned to exchange it, the rude clerk refused to help me because I did not have my sales receipt. It was an even exchange! He said that I was a problem and even asked if I had seen what products I-could purchase at one of your competitor's stores at comparable prices. Was he accusing me of something? Why would I have brought a receipt for an even exchange? Why would I know the price at other stores?

Furthermore, the clerk called security and forced me to leave your store-without my camp stove! How can I go camping now? The tent leaks, the sleeping bag is just wrong, and I don't have a stove to keep warm ! Who is going to refund my money for my stove? Who is going to help me get over the abuse I suffered in your store?

You, as the area manager must clear these matters up for me immediately! I am sending copies of this letter to your main office and the Sierra Vista Store.

Sincerely ,

Ima Kumpanee
