解析：

(1)	此处指尽管猫没有意识到这一点，但是他的身体会发生一系列的变化，准备采取行动。
(2)	根据下文We, too, get ready to defend ourselves ________ run．可知当猫受到惊吓的时候，它会自卫或跑开。
(3)	根据下文when people are excited, angry, scared, or aroused by other emotions, our bodies also go through many ________ changes．可知，和猫一样，人也有类似的变化。
(4)	根据上文When a cat is frightened, its heart starts beating faster, its muscles get tense, and there are changes in the chemicals in its blood-stream．和下文Our hearts beat faster, and our muscles get tense．可知，当猫受到惊吓的时候，身体会发生一系列的变化。同样，人也是这样的。
(5)	根据上文 It will ________ itself, or it will run away as fast as it can．可知，人当受到惊吓的时候也会准备自卫或跑开。
(6)	根据上下文Human beings, ________, have a problem that animals never face．可知，人也有动物不会遇到的诸多问题。与上文提到的人和猫的相似点形成对比和转折关系。
(7)	选项A take off的意思是“脱衣服，起飞”；选项B take on 的意思是“呈现，穿衣服”；选项C take over的意思是“接管”；选项D take up的意思是“从事，占据”，根据下文…we can get into trouble．Have you ever said something in anger, or hit somebody and regretted it later?可知，如果我们屈服于自己的感受，让自己的感受支配你，我们就会陷入困境。
(8)	此处wish表示虚拟语气，与过去事实相反，从句用过去完成时，此句意思是“多希望这些没有说出口啊！”比如：I wished that I had come here earlier yesterday．
(9)	根据上文Have you ever shouted at a teacher, told someone you were lonely, or said you were in love, and then ________ later you had kept your mouth shut?可知，做过的事会时常后悔，说明自由的表达自己的感受并不是很明智的。
(10)	根据下文…feelings of anger, sadness, and bitterness hidden away or bottled up inside, …可知，此处指在内心的感受埋在心底是不是更英明的选择呢？
(11)	根据下文Feelings that you keep all bottled up inside, don't just…可知是在感受保留在心底。此处keep 的意思是“保持…，保留…，使…怎么样？”，故选择此项。
(12)	根据上文when people are excited, angry, scared, or aroused by other emotions, our bodies also go through many ________ changes．Our hearts beat faster, and our muscles get tense．可知，将自己的不好的情绪埋藏在心底，身体会变的紧张而生病。
(13)	根据上文Physical illnesses can develop．可知，身体会得病的，对身体是有害的。
(14)	此处指埋藏在自己心底的感受不会向外宣泄的。
(15)	根据下文And if you opened the cupboard, you'd ________ little fruit flies hovering(盘旋)all over them．They'd be rotten．可知，你把香蕉放在厨子里，不久你就会问道气味，因为它们坏掉了。
(16)	根据上文You might not be able to see them, but ________ you'd smell them．And if you opened the cupboard,…可知，打开橱子，你就会看到它们苍蝇盘旋在上面。
(17)	根据上文It's like you bought some bananas and stuck them in a cupboard．可知，对待感受就像对待香蕉一样。
(18)	此处指你可以假装它们不存在，但是它们还在那儿。
(19)	你假装它们不存在，但是它们依然还在那儿，并不是看不见它们就不存在了，永远的消失了。
(20)	根据上文And if you opened the cupboard, you'd ________ little fruit flies hovering(盘旋)all over them．They'd be rotten．可知，就像香蕉，时间长了烂掉了，还得自己去收拾。
