20．Sometimes people call each other"scared-cat"，but have you ever thought about this expression？When a cat is frightened，its heart starts beating faster，its muscles get tense（紧张的），and there are changes in the chemicals in its blood-stream．
Although the cat doesn't （36）C this，its body is getting ready for action．
If the danger continues，this animal will do one of the two things．It will （37）C itself，or it will run away as fast as it can．
（38）C，when people are excited，angry，scared，or aroused by other emotions，our bodies also go through many （39）B changes．Our hearts beat faster，and our muscles get tense．All of these changes make us more alert（警觉的） and ready to react．We，too，get ready to defend（防卫） ourselves （40）B run．
Human beings，（41）D，have a problem that animals never face．If we give way to our feelings and let them （42）C，we can get into trouble．Have you ever said something in anger，or hit somebody and regretted it later？Have you ever shouted at a teacher，told someone you were lonely，or said you were in love，and then （43）A later you had kept your mouth shut？It isn't always （44）D to express your feelings freely．
Does this mean that it's smarter always to （45）C our feelings？No!If you （46）A feelings of anger，sadness，and bitterness hidden away or bottled up inside，your body stays （47）B．Physical illnesses can develop．It can actually be （48）Bfor your health．
Feelings that you keep all bottled up inside don't just （49）A．It's like you bought some bananas and stuck them in a cupboard．You might not be able to see them，but （50）C you'd smell them．And if you opened the cupboard，you'd（51）Dlittle fruit flies hovering （盘旋） all over them．They'd be rotten．
You can try to treat emotions （52）A they were bananas in the cupboard．You can （53）A they don't exist，but they'll still be （54）B．And at last you'll have to （55）B them．Just like those bananas．
