9.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humiliation(羞辱) and failure.While these fears are doing their jobs incredibly well,they are doing so with faulty and outdated programming.Many fears we have as adults are trying to protect us as they protected us when we were children.Indeed,many of our current,automatic reactions to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.
5.According to the first paragraph,fear sometimesD.
A.protect us when we've made mistakes
B.makes sure our feelings are not hurt
C.brings great change to our everyday life

6.According to the author,the ways we react to fearB.
A.vary from person to person
B.have been formed since childhood
C.develop during our growth
D.will not change until we get old
7.The last paragraph mainly tells usC
A.what is the essence of fears
B.usual reactions we have when feeling fear
C.how to deal with fears reasonably
D.the importance of humor and compassion
8.What would be the best title for the passage?A
A.Is fear managing your life?
B.Be calm when feeling fear
C.What do you fear most?
D.Passion,chance and fear.

Big climate changes in the last million years might have come from something very small:dust from outer space.Earth changes between ice ages and warm periods in a (n)(36)C that includes several cycles,including a(37)H one that lasts 100,000years.Scientists(38)A suggested this cycle might be due to changes in the inflow of cosmic dust.
The idea is that Earth(39)E above and below the imaginary orbit that runs through the sun and Jupiter,completing a cycle every 100,000years.So maybe it(40)G meets amounts of dust during each cycle that produce the climate trend.
Now there is some(41)J,from ancient cosmic dust near the Azores islands west of Portugal.The large quantity of the dust rises and falls with a wonderful 100,000year cycle during the period 253,000years to 458,000years ago.Periods of more dust are related to(42)F climates.
But that is a long way from showing that the dust(43)B climate.Some scientists argue that it is not clear how cosmic dust would make the climate warmer while dust from volcanoes is known to make it cooler.They say the cosmic dust is so thin that it is hard to see how it could have any climate(44)I.
3.On Thanksgiving,Scott Macaulay is preparing a full turkey dinner for a whole bunch of people he's never met.His 70 or so guests-elderly people,low-income people,at-risk teens,and others-have one detail I in common:(16)C.
"What I do isn't a big deal,really,"the 52-year-old said."I just cook some food."
Macaulay's unconventional Thanksgiving tradition began in 1985,right around the time his parents decided to get divorced.The holidays got messy that year,and Macaulay,who was 24 at the time.sensed he'd be spending Thanksgiving alone.(17)A.
"Thanksgiving isn't about fireworks or band concerts,"he said."(18)BIt's not fun to do that by yourself."
Macaulay placed an ad in his local paper with a simple message:If people thought they might be alone on Thanksgiving,they could give Macaulay a call.
(19)DIt was nice.So he placed another ad the following year,and the year after that.
In recent years,Macaulay has been hosting his Thanksgiving dinners at local churches with lots of space.He still buys and prepares all the food himself and spends about 40hours putting the whole affair together.(20)EHe said it's important to him that he not seek out volunteers or donations because"that's not what this is about."
Macaulay said he'd love to see other people hold similar dinners all over the country.
"I think someone in every town should do this,"he said,"so nobody has to be alone."

A.It was a terrible feeling.
B.It's a celebration around a table with food.
C.Without Macaulay,they'd be alone on Thanksgiving.
D.A few people showed up at Macaulay's place that first year.
E.On Thanksgiving Day,he runs around nonstop from about 5a.m.to 8p.m.
F.I don't like the thought of cooking a thanksgiving meal for only one person.
G.He likes it that most of the people he feeds each Thanksgiving don't know his name.
7.Why does most of the world travel on the right side today?Theories differ,but there's no doubt Napoleon was a major influence.The French have used the right since at least the late 18th century.Some say that before the French Revolution,noblemen drove their carriages on the left,forcing the peasants to the right.Regardless of the origin,Napoleon brought right-hand traffic to the nations he conquered,including Russia,Switzerland and Germany.Hitler,in turn,ordered right-hand traffic in Czechoslovakia and Austria in the 1930s.Nations that escaped right-hand control,like Great Britain,followed their left-hand tradition.
The U.S.has not always been a nation of right-hand drivers; earlier in its history,carriage and horse traffic travelled on the left,as it did in England.But by the late 1700s,people driving large wagons pulled by several pairs of horses began promoting a shift (改变) to the right.A driver would sit on the rear (后面的) left horse in order to wave his whip (鞭子) with his right hand; to see opposite traffic clearly,they travelled on the right.
One of the final moves to firmly standardize traffic directions in the U.S.occurred in the 20th century,when Henry Ford decided to mass-produce his cars with controls on the left ( the reason was stated in a 1908 catalog:the convenience for passengers exiting directly onto the edge,especially if there is a lady to be considered).Once these rules were set,many countries eventually adjusted to the right-hand standard,including Canada in the 1920s,Sweden in 1967 and Burma in 1970.The U.K.and former colonies such as Australia and India are among the Western world's few remaining holdouts(坚持不变者).Several Asian nations,including Japan,use the left as well-though many places use both right-hand-drive and left-hand-drive cars.
9.Why did people in Switzerland travel on the right?C
A.They had used the right-hand traffic since the 18th century.
B.Rich people enjoyed driving their carriages on the right.
C.Napoleon introduced the right-hand traffic to this country.
D.Hitler ordered them to go against their left-hand tradition.
10.Of all the countries below,the one that travels on the right isA.
A.Austria              
B.England             
C.Japan                
D.Australia
11.Henry Ford produced cars with controls on the leftB.
A.in order to change traffic directions in the U.S.
B.so that passengers could get off conveniently
C.because rules at that time weren't perfect
D.though many countries were strongly against that
12.According to the passage,which of the following is TRUE?C
A.Before the French Revolution,all the French people used the right.
B.People in Britain and the U.S.travel on the same side nowadays.
C.The Burmese began to travel on the right in 1970.
D.All the Asian nations use the left at present.
