Question

填空题

　　Do you have a phobia? No, it is not an infectious(传染性的)disease, but it can make you quite as bad. A phobia is an unreasonable fear of some particular thing or situation.

　　Do you know that some people fear heights? That is called acrophobia. Many people experience claustrophobia when they are in a closed space such as a small room or a lift. Zoophobia is a fear of animals. A fear of dirt is called mysophobia. There are names for fear of thunder, lightning, wide open spaces, people, crowd, darkness, water and many other things.

　　A phobia expert tells us that in the coming of a phobia situation a person has what is called an “anxiety attack”. Blood rushes to his larger muscles in preparation for flight.

　　One expert on phobias suggests we race our fears gradually. A person who is afraid of people could overcome this fear by getting accustomed to them one at a time. Someone who is afraid of water could take swimming lessons in the relative safety of a pool with a lifeguard at hand. A person afraid of heights could practise looking down from middle heights first until he could handle the greater ones.
