A fear of heights is a common feeling that is easy to understand. According to many psychologists, a fear of heights is one of the only two natural fears --- the other is the fear of loud noises. 【1】 If you are not afraid, you could walk too close to the edge and fall off. Having a fear of heights is good because it protects us from real danger.

2 They experience an intense fear even inside a safe environment such as a skyscraper, which is not an appropriate response and it is not helpful. 3 “As long as I can remember, I have had a powerful fear of heights. It can completely ruin a vacation. For example, when I was with friends in Paris, I became terrified while going up to the Eiffel Tower. I was almost crying and I felt embarrassed for the rest of the vacation,” Adams said.

Fortunately, having an irrational(不合理的) fear of heights can be corrected. 4 The most effective way seems to be getting the people to acknowledge their fears, for example, by encouraging them to go to the top of tall buildings, hike up steep mountains, or stand on a high bridge.

5 When faced with a threatening situation, taking slow, deep breaths can help slow the heart rate and increase the oxygen flowing to muscles to keep from tensing up. If possible, a few minutes of meditation(冥想) may be effective in relieving some tension.

It is important to remember that an inappropriate fear of heights is not unusual and can be treated.

A. Another way to overcome a fear of heights is to learn to control the physical symptoms.

B. However, some people have an irrational (非理性的) and unhealthy fear of heights.

C. One way to defeat your fear of heights is to do an activity that involves nothing but heights.

D. There are a number of ways this can be achieved.

E. John Adams, an English teacher, has an irrational fear of heights that makes his life very difficult.

F. If you are on the edge of a cliff, it is useful to be a little afraid.

G. Nearly everyone experiences some degree of anxiety when exposed to heights.

It is natural that young people are often uncomfortable when they are with their parents. 【1 They often think that their parents are out of touch with modern ways;that they are too serious and too strict with their children;and that they seldom give their children a free hand.

2 Parents tend to forget how they themselves felt when young. For example,young people like to act on the spot without much thinking. It is one of their ways to show that they have grown up and they can face any difficult situation. 3 Most of them plan things ahead,at least in the back of their minds,and do not like their plans to be upset by something unexpected.

When you want your parents to let you do something, you will have better success if you ask before you really start doing it.

Young people often make their parents angry with their choices in clothes,in entertainment and in music. But they do not mean to cause any trouble;it is just that they feel cut off from the older people’s world,into which they have not yet been accepted. 4 And if their parents do not like their music or entertainment or clothes or their way of speech,this will make the young people extremely happy.

Sometimes you are so proud of yourself that you do not want your parents to say “yes” to what you do. 5 It is natural enough,after being a child for so many years,when you were completely under your parents’ control.

If you plan to control your life,you’d better win your parents over and try to get them to understand you. If your parents see that you have a high sense of responsibility,they will certainly give you the right to do what you want to do.

A. It is true that parents often find it difficult to win their children’s trust.

B. Young people tend to do what they like.

C. They say that their parents don’t understand them.

D. All you want is to be left alone and do what you like.

E. That’s why young people want to make a new culture of their own.

F. While older people worry more easily.

G. Do trust your parents and follow their suggestions.
