6．Theterrifying（terrify） news made her awake all night long．

5．Of the many unpleasant emotions we can experience，fear may top the list．（16）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．（17）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．（18）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．（19）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．（20）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．

4．Many animals have disappeared during the long history of the earth．Finless Porpoise （江豚） is one of these endangered（46）animalsthat are dying out．As a student，I am asking you to pay attention （47）tothe situation of Finless Porpoises．Finless porpoises in the Yangtze River are in danger of becoming extinct because they are seriously （48）affected（affect） by human activities．To our disappointment，only about 1，000 are still living at present．We sincerely hope that WWF can play a role in （49）protecting（protect） this endangered species．Firstly，we find （50）itimportant to get sponsorship（赞助）．If the government pays the farmers，they will allow tourists hunt only （51）acertain number of animals．But more importantly，we need information from experts in WWF to help us better understand the animal．In that case，we can take （52）better（good） care of them than before．And prizes will be given to the organizations （53）that/whichcan protect them well．What's more，more workers should（54）be employed（employ） to help us．（55）Although/Though/Whilethe task is challenging，we are confident that we will succeed sooner or later．

3．When I was small and my grandmother died，I couldn't understand why I had no tears．But that night when my dad tried to cheer me up，my laugh turned into crying．
So it came as no surprise to learn that researchers believe crying and laughing come from the same part of the brain．Just as laughing has many health advantages，scientists are discovering that so，too，does crying．
       Whatever it takes for us to reduce pressure is important to our emotional （情感的） health，and crying seems to work well．One study found that 85 percent of women and 73 percent of men report feeling better after crying．
       Besides，tears attract help from other people．Researchers agree that when we cry，people around us become kinder and friendly and they are more ready to provide support and comfort．Tears also enable us to understand our emotions better； sometimes we don't even know we're very sad until we cry．We learn about our emotions through crying，and then we can deal with them．
       Just as crying can be healthy，not crying---holding back tears of anger，pain or suffering---can be bad for physical health，Studies have shown that too much control of emotions can lead to high blood pressure，heart problems and some other illnesses．If you have a health problem，doctors will certainly not ask you to cry．But when you feel like crying，don't fight it．It's a natural---and healthy---emotional response （反应）．

1．Alexis was hotand tired．With rage in her voice she shouted，"Pull me up！I give up，I hate this．This is stupid!"It was at that moment when Jason，the adviser on the trip，looked at me and said，"Ed，I'm going to go down and talk with her．"I then shouted down to Alexis，"Hold on!You can do this．We know you can!"
Jason grasped another rope，put his climbing harness（系带）on and began to move down the cliff．Within moments Jason was beside Alexis．She had her cheek directly against the face of the rock with her feet barely resting on a small piece of the cliff that stuck outward．Jason said to Alexis，"I know that you have been on this cliff now for what seems like a long time．Your feet and fingers are cramping（痉挛）up and your forearms feel as though they are on fire．But，Alexis，you are strong，look how far up you are already．You have taken one of the more difficult paths up the cliff．Alexis，look at the path you have taken．"

20．A Swedish man was dug out alive after being snowed in his car on a forest track for two months with no food，police and local media reported on Saturday．
The 45-year-old from southern Sweden was found on Friday，February17，too weak to say more than a few words．
He was found not far from the city of Umea in the north of Sweden by snowmobilers who thought they had come across a ruined car until they dug their way to a window and saw movement inside．
The man，who was lying in the back seat in a sleeping bag，said he had been in the car since December 19．
"Just incredible that he's alive considering that he had no food，but also since it's been really cold for some time after Christmas，"a rescue team member told regional daily Vasterbottens-Kuriren，which broke the news．Ebbe Nyberg，duty officer at the Umea police，said police saw no reason to doubt that the man had been stuck in the car for a very long time．
"We would not make up something like this．The rescue services were on site too and saw the same as us．"he told Vasterbottens-Kuriren．Umea University Hospital，where the man is recovering after being rescued by police and a rescue team，said in a statement he was doing well considering the circumstances．
Doctors at the hospital said humans would normally be able to survive for about four weeks without food．Besides eating snow，the man probably survived by going into a dormant-like（休眠似的） state，physician Stefan Branth told Vasterbottens-Kuriren．
"A bit like a bear that hibernates．Humans can do that．"he said．"He probably had a body temperature of around 31 degrees which the body adjusted to．Due to the low temperature，not much energy was used up．"
