Fear can be a wonderful feeling in our lives, protecting us from dangerous situations and keeping us safe. But fear can also limit our lives significantly. While it may not be conscious, fear may make us think we are unacceptable or that what we have to offer isn’t valuable. Fear may make us feel that we are not safe being ourselves.
To avoid feeling fear, we may limit our lives greatly, living in tiny boxes. Living this way gives us the illusion(假象) of safety but leaves us with an unfulfilling life of no passion. If we shine a light on many of our fears, we see they have a very limited view of what is “safe” and how to “protect” us. Many of our fears are concerned only with protecting us from humiliation(羞辱) and failure. While these fears are doing their jobs incredibly well, they are doing so with faulty and outdated programming. Many fears we have as adults are trying to protect us as they protected us when we were children. Indeed, many of our current, automatic reactions to fear were actually formed when we were children.
Even so, it’s important not to judge ourselves for feeling these types of fears. If we judge ourselves, we will bury our fears or disguise them. By denying our fears, however, we also deny our energy, creativity and passion.
So what do we do with fear? We recognize the fear for what it is--- a feeling we’ve experienced many times in the past and a feeling we will experience many times in the future. We become very familiar with our own particular brand of fears and how we allow them to control our lives. It is especially beneficial for each of us to become aware of the particular behavior patterns we’ve adopted when we feel fear, so we can look at our reactions with a sense of humor and compassion. Then, if we wish, we can choose a different response, which can be a scary yet very exciting experience.

There is very simple way of measuring the height of a water-tower, which we cannot measure by climbing.

Suppose, for example, that we wish to find out the height of the water-tower, AB, in a factory. We first of all go to where the water-tower is standing and measure a distance of, say, 25 feet from it. Then we take a stick, and stand it in the ground at the spot we have just marked.

Let us suppose the stick we are using is 4 feet in height. We now walk farther away from the water –tower in the same straight line as when we measured off the distance of 25 feet. We go from the water-tower until we come to point E, where with our head on the ground, we see the top of the stick and the top of the water-tower in the same height line---that is, the top of the stick just covers the highest part of the water-tower. Every schoolboy can work out the height of the water-tower now.

Suppose that the line CE is five feet. We know that the stick is 4 feet high and the distance BE is 30 feet. Thus, 5 is to 4 as 30 is to AB.

1.If we want to know how high a tall tree is,_______.

A. we have to climb up the tree

B. we have no way out

C. we must cut down the tree

D we needn’t climb up the tree

2. According to the passage, which of the following is correct?

A. a child

B. the boy who has little schooling

C. everyone

D. a girl at middle school

4.To measure a water-tower in this way, _________.

A. no tool is needed

B. Besides a stick, tape-measure (卷尺) or at least a ruler is necessary.

D. we have to prepare a set of expensive tools

In my experience, one of the greatest reasons of unhappiness is the difficulty we have in accepting things as they are．When we see something we don’t like, we wish it could be different–we cry out for something better．That may be human nature, or perhaps it’s something that has been grown in our culture．

The root of the unhappiness isn’t that we want things to be different, however, it’s that we decided we didn’t like it in the first place．We’ve judged it as bad, rather than saying, “It’s not bad or good, but it just is．”

Here is an example．I have written a paper, A Beautiful Method to Find Peace of Mind．Quite a few people think it bad after reading it because I think people should expect things to go differently than you planned, and that you should accept that, instead of encouraging people to change themselves or the environment as much as possible．You could accept it as the way the world works–as the way things actually are．And try to understand why that is, and follow it, as it is．

This can be useful to whatever you do: whether it be how other people act at work, how politics works and how depressing the news media can be．Accept these things as they are, and try to understand why they’re that way．

It’ll save you a lot of sadness because you’ll no longer say, “Oh, I wish things didn’t go bad!”

If you really understand what I mean, you can try a different way to live in this world:accept, and understand．It might lead to some interesting results．

1．What is the major reason why we feel unhappy in the writer’s opinion?

A．We are never satisfied with ourselves and the environment around us．

B．When we see something that makes us unhappy, we don’t know what to do．

C．We feel hard to accept the way things happen themselves．

D．No matter how happy we are, we never want to be happy．

2．What do you think the writer may say to himself when he meets something unhappy?

A．How could I have made such a stupid mistake?

B．I should have done better．It’s all my fault．

C．Why is it all against my plan? It can’t be so bad．

D．Well, I know all is what it is meant to be．Take it easy．

3．Why do some people think badly of the writer’s new paper after reading it?

A．The writer hasn’t shown an encouraging attitude in his paper．

B．The writer asks people to try to make things better．

C．The writer reminds the people that things will go exactly as you’ve planned．

D．The writer doesn’t think it a good idea to accept the things go naturally．

4．The statements below are based on the writer’s points of view, EXCEPT_______

A．Unhappiness may be caused by human nature that we always want things to be better．

B．Why we don’t like the thing is that we have regard it as bad in the beginning．

C．The news media shouldn’t be so depressing if the reporters worked harder．

D．The best way to avoid feeling unhappy is to accept the things as they are．

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

When we are little, we know nothing about the rights and responsibilities of adulthood. 71 Therefore, if we like a certain toy or if we want to eat a certain type of chocolate, we think that our parents will have to buy that for us. We don’t care that they possibly have not enough money for that. If they don’t carry out our wish, we’ll begin to cry. 72 Whenever we begin to cry, we’ll get what we want.

Still, little by little, we realize that our parents can’t offer us all that we want for certain reasons. We then also understand that parents have their rights. They have the right to scold us when we do something wrong or when they find out that we have lied to them. 73 They choose our clothes, the food we eat, the school we will study at, the hours when we should go out to play and the time we have to return home.

74 They are the ones to be blamed later if we don’t receive proper education. That’s why when we beat a classmate at the kindergarten, parents are the ones to apologize for our deeds in front of the teacher and the classmate’s parents. And when we get ill, they are responsible for not taking good care of us and for dressing us inadequately.

The moment we become teenagers, we notice that we should be responsible for our behaviors in society. Now we have the right to be independent. 75 It is supposed that we are mature enough to solve our problems and to make people around trust us. For some of us, this is a difficult test to pass, but it is the best method to see if we are capable of taking our place in society.

A. However, it’s also time for us to give explanations when we do something wrong.

B. But at the same time they are responsible for many things that happen to us.

C. Moreover, they have the right to make choices for us when we are little.

D. As a matter of fact, parents have a lot of things to be concerned about.

E. This is a child’s important weapon to threaten his/her parents.

F. We should believe we can do them by ourselves.

G. We think our parents should offer us all we need.

We wish we could have learned ________ when we were at high school.
