18．Of the many unpleasant emotions we can experience，fear may top the list．
（36）F．Fear can also keep us from pursuing the things in life that really matter-like following our dreams，and developing important relationships．I have some ideas，though，of how to be free from fear．
●Experience fear．
I used to be very afraid of speaking in front of people．I would get sweaty palms and my stomach would be so tied up that I wouldn't be able to eat．However，each time I spoke，I noticed afterwards that it wasn't that bad．Things I fear are never as bad in reality as I make them out in my mind．（37）D．
●Create space．
The first and most important step to being fearless is to create some space between ourselves and the emotion of fear．This isn't accomplished by ignoring the fear，or trying to talk ourselves out of it．（38）A．In fact，a recent research shows that by simply admitting the emotion we actually begin to reverse the"fight or flight（逃避）"response in the body．
●Control the breath and feel the fear．
Once we acknowledge the presence of fear，the second step is to control the breathing so that it becomes slower and gentler．We try to make the breath just a little bit longer，and feel how fear manifests（展现） in the body．（39）G．
With practice，we can create enough space between us and the emotion of fear so that we're able to replace a fearful thought with a positive one．（40）B．For instance，before I get up to speak in front of a group of people，I imagine that the audience is positively impressed by what I say and that I manage to complete the speech successfully．

A．Space is created only when we can honestly acknowledge that fear exists．
B．We can imagine a positive outcome for whatever we're about to do．
C．Fear，if left uncontrolled，can even destroy our life．
D．So one way to get rid of fear is to simply push ourselves to do things that we fear．
E．When we can see a positive outcome in our mind，fear no longer holds us back．
F．But fear is more than just physically unpleasant．
G．As we pay attention to the physical symptoms of fear，we can see fear objectively．
19．Looking back on my childhood，I get to believe that naturalists are born and not made．Although we were all brought up in the same way，my brothers and sisters soon threw away their pressed flowers and insects． Unlike them，I had no ear for music and languages． I was not an early reader and I could not do mental arithmetic．
 Before World War I we spent our summer holidays in Hungary．I have only the unclear memory of the house we lived in，of my room and my toys．Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents，aunts，uncles and cousins who gathered next door．But I do have a clear memory of the dogs，the farm animals，the local birds and，above all，the insects．
 I am a naturalist，not a scientist．I have a strong love of the natural world，and my enthusiasm（热情） has led me into varied investigations（调查）．I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil while reading about other people's observations and discoveries．Then something happens that brings these observations together in my conscious mind．Suddenly you wonder you see the answer to the riddle（迷），because it all seems to fit together．This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books，which some might honour with the title of scientific research．
 But curiosity，a keen eye，a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist； one of the outstanding qualities required is self-discipline，a quality I lack．A scientist requires not only self-discipline but hard training，determination and a goal．A scientist，up to a point，can be made．A naturalist is born．If you can combine the two，you get the best of both worlds．
32．The first paragraph tells us that the authorC．
A．was born to a naturalist's family       
B．lost his hearing when he was a child
C．didn't like his brothers and sisters      
D．was interested in flowers and insects

A．he didn't live long with them          
B．he was fully busy observing nature      
C．the family was too large to remember   
D．he was too young when he lived with them
34． It can be inferred from the passage that the author wasD   
A．a naturalist but not a scientist          
B．more a good observer than a listener
C．no more than a born naturalist         
D．a scientist as well as a naturalist
35． The author says he's a naturalist rather than a scientist probably because he thinks heA．
A．lacks s ome of the qualities required of a scientist
B．he couldn't do mental arithmetic
C．he was brought up in a family of farmers

16．Adusty （dust） table is the only furniture in the old house．
3．Dear Cutie-Pie，
Recently，your mother and I were searching for an answer on Google．Half way through entering the question，Google returned a list of the most popular searches in the world．At the top of the list was"How to keep him interested．"
It surprised me a lot．I scanned several of the countless articles about how to be sexy and sexual，when to bring him a beer versus a sandwich，and the ways to make him feel smart and superior．
And I got angry．
Little One，it is not，has never been，and never will be your job to"keep him interested．"
Little One，your only task is to know deeply in your soul-in that unshakeable place that isn't upset by rejection and loss-that you are worthy of interest．
If you can trust your worth in this way，you will be attractive in the most important sense of the world：you will attract a boy who is both capable of interest and who wants to spend his one life investing all of his interest in you．
Little One，I want to tell you about the boy who doesn't need to be kept interested，because he knows you are interesting．
I don't care if he can't play a bit of golf with me-as long as he can play with the children you give him and revel in all the glorious and frustrating ways they are just like you．I don't care if he doesn't follow his wallet-as long as he follows his heart and it always leads him back to you．I don't care if he is strong-as long as he gives you the space to exercise the strength that is in your heart．I couldn't care less how he votes-as long as he wakes up every morning and daily elects you to a place of honor in your home and a place of respect in his heart．I don't care about the color of his skin．I don't care if he was raised in this religion or that religion or no religion．
Little One，if you come across a man like that and he and I have nothing else in common，we will have the most important thing in common：You．
Because in the end，Little One，the only thing you should have to do to"keep him interested"is to be you．
Your eternally interested guy，
Daddy
56．What shocked Daddy when he was surfing on the Internet？B
A．Girls'knowing nothing about trusting themselves．
B．Girls'giving priority to finding ways to please boys．
C．Girls'bringing foods and drinks to boys from time to time．
D．Girls'being upset by being rejected constantly．
57．Father thinks what is of primary importance to his daughter is toB．
A．keep the boy interested
B．know she deserves a boy's interest
C．attract a boy willing to invest all in her
D．find a boy who can please her
58．According to the passage，what does the underlined word"revel"mean？D
A．feel depressed
B．become puzzled
C．look around
D．enjoy himself
59．What's the main purpose of this letter？A
