Fear and its companion pain are two of the most useful things that men and animals possess,if they are properly used. If fire did not hurt when it burnt,children would play it until their hands were burnt away. Similarly,if pain existed but fear did not,a child would burn itself again and again,because fear would not warn the child to keep away from the fire that had burnt him or her 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 men 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. Even in your house you are not absolutely safe:a plane may crash on your house,or ants may eat away some of the wood in your roof,and they later may fall on you,or you may get cancer!
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 OK.
In some cases,however,you decide that there is nothing that you can do to avoid the danger. For example,you cannot prevent a plane from crashing into your house,and you may not want to go and live in a desert where there are no plants. In this case,fear has given you its warning;you have examined it and decided on your course of action,so fear of this particular danger is no longer of any use to you,and you have to try to overcome it.

A.they were given no warning beforehand

D.they have gained much experience
3.It is implied but not stated that________.
A.fear is always something helpful

C.fear should be used as a servant and guide
D.fear is something strange and particular

I was on my lunch break in the city, enjoying a salad at an outdoor café, when a shabby homeless lady came waking towards me. She was _36_ everyone who walked past her for spare_37_ and she looked very dirty. My _38 reaction was fear and I hoped she wouldn’t come near me, but she did.. I was on the phone and when she__39_ , I said “ I’m on the phone” in the nicest way I could, telling myself what she needed was a lesson in _40_. She walked away, mumbling(自言自语), “ I’m_41_ you. I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I’ll leave.” And she turned the corner.
_42_ ,I would feel relieved or satisfied, but something in me couldn’t _43_ . Without another thought, I looked in my _44_ for the spare change I had. I even started searching through my entire purse, the pockets, everything for all of the change I could _45_ find to give. I got up and walked towards this lady and gave her all I _46_. She held my hand and said, “ Thank you!” Her hand was 47 and dirty, but I didn’t mind 48 her hand. I wanted to be there for her , when normally I would 49 the other way. She looked at me and said, “Will you touch my face?” And for some reason, I did. I put my hand on her cheek and she started to 50 . I could 51 it was as if she had not been touched by a loving, soft hand in ages, 52 . And so I held it there, trying to 53 her with my heart open. It was powerful.
She thanked me and walked away quietly. And I walked away with an open heart, trying to 54
sense of what had just happened. It changed something in me and has made me want to be a 55 person to the people I meet during my day.
