11．In our life，the fear of heights always （61）exists（exist） and it is a common feeling that is easy （62）to understand（understand）．It is one of only two natural fears and （63）the other is the fear of loud noises．Actually，having a fear of heights is good because it protects us （64）from/against real danger．
However，some people have an unreasonable and unhealthy fear of heights．They experience strong fear even inside a safe environment such as a tall building，（65）which is not a common response and it is not helpful．（66）Fortunately （fortunate），this can （67）be treated （treat）．There are many ways as follows．
The most efficient way seems to make the people know（68）their （they） fear，for example，by encouraging them to go to the top of tall buildings．
Another way to overcome the fear is to learn to control the physical symptoms．When （69）faced（face） with a threatening situation，one can take slow，deep breaths．If possible，a few minutes of deep thinking may be （70）effective（effect） in reducing tension．In a word，the fear of heights can be dealt with．

By the time I was 12，My grandmother thought I had done such a good job that she promoted me to selling cosmetics （化妆品）．I developed the ability to look at customers directly in the eye．Even though I was just a kid，women would ask me such things as"What color do you think I should wear？"I took a real interest in their questions and was able to translate what they wanted into makeup ideas．（39）C
The job taught me a valuable lesson：to be a successful salesperson，you didn't need to be a Rocket scientist-you needed to be a great listener．（40）D Expect they are no longer women purchasing cosmetics from me； instead，they are kids who tell me which toys they would like to see designed and developed．

My friend suggested that we go back to （44）the house in front of （45）which we found the cell phone．I knocked on the door and two college-age persons answered．"We（46）haven't lost （lose） our phones"said the two young men，"but we know some names on the name list．It （47）must be the phone of one of our friends．"I immediately tried to find the owner，because that's exactly（48）what I would want someone to do if I lost my phone．The purpose of helping others is not for return．（49）Helping/To help （help） others is more than enough for me and I benefit a lot（50）from it..

（66）Opening（open）it，he found two small table mats and a sum of money totaling $25，000．He asked her about the contents．"When we were to be married，"she said，"my grandma told me the secret of a happy（67）marriage（marry）was never to argue，and I should just keep quiet and make a mat （68）when/whenever/if I got angry with you．"
The man was so （69）moved （move）that he had to fight back tears．She had only been angry with him twice in all those years of living and loving！"Honey，"he said，"that explains the mats，but what about the money？Where did it come from？"
"Oh，"she said，"that's the money I made from selling （70）them．"

5．Monte L．Bean Life Science Museum is set to reopen on June 7after being closed almost two years for rearrangements．The museum，which houses preserved animal specimens（样本），including lions，wolves，elephants，a tiger and hundreds of other creatures，has increased in size and also features updates and new exhibits．
"The Africa exhibit，which we had just barely redone about a year before we closed…is still in place，"said Larry St．Clair，the museum's director．"Other than that，there are about 25new exhibits that we've never had in the building before．"The museum first opened in 1978and was named after Monte L．Bean，who donated many animal collections to the museum．
A new educational area has been set up for children，where kids can play in replicas （复制品）of the types of animal environments．"We really make efforts to plan our educational programming，with the science curriculum （课程）standards of the state，so we really try to help young people learn the things that are taught in school in the context of the museum，"St．Clair said．Above all，children would learn how to live with animal in harmony．Then they can get ideas to protect our land．
Because the museum has been closed for two years，staff members are expecting a rise in attendance．Also，People think the wait will be worth it，that they have been expecting a visit with their children．"My hope is that when people come in，they'll say it's better than it was before，"St．Clair said．"We've changed our whole concept of exhibits and the way we do those，and I think people will see it as a real refreshing change．"

4．How much physical activity do you get？As a teenager，physical activity is important，not just for your future health but for looking and feeling your best now．How active you are early in life may affect how ableminded you are late in life．That was the finding of a new study of cognitive impairment （认知障碍），or a loss in mental abilities．
The study involved more than nine thousand women in the United States over the age of sixtyfive．They answered questions about their level of physical activity as teenagers and at age thirty，fifty and late in life．
Laura Middleton of the Sunnybrook Health Sciences Center in Canada led the study．Laura Middleton said，"People who were physically active on a regular basis had lower risk of cognitive impairments in late life．And it seemed that teenage physical activity was particularly important in terms of the prevention of cognitive impairments．"
Laura Middleton noted two longlasting effects that physical activity can have on teenagers．Exercise could help strengthen the blood vessels（血管） that carry blood and oxygen to the brain．Also，physical activity is known to improve the brain's ability to repair itself．Moreover，she noted that doing exercise is good for psychological development．
The study is in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society．Women who said they were physically active even once a week showed less cognitive impairment as measured by a test．There was not a strong link between the amount of physical activity and the seriousness of impairment．But the link was strongest among those who were active as teenagers．
Laura Middleton says other studies of exercise and cognitive skills have found a stronger link in women than in men．Still，she says，there is no reason to suggest that the finding about teenage physical activity should not apply to men as well．

A．women are generally more active than men

2．The British sense of humor differs from other countries （41）because it is generally more negative．When it comes to （42）making （make） the British laugh，there is nothing（43）more effective than a socially inappropriate joke．
Popular British comedy shows such as Fawlty Towers，Blackadder and the Office are（44）full（full） of sarcasm （讽刺），teasing and self-deprecation （自嘲）．It reflects the culture where mocking（嘲笑），moaning（呻吟） and ridicule is part of everyday life．
（45）While most British people don't take these jokes too（46）seriously （serious），foreigners are often puzzled by them．A recent survey found that most foreigners（47）who/that visited Britain found that the British are"arrogant （傲慢的）"，unfriendly and have almost no sense of humor．
Do foreigners not understand British humor（48）or are the British just not so funny （49）as they think they are？McKinstry certainly thinks the British are funny．"Accusing the British（50）of having no sense of humor is like telling Rolls-Royce that its cars are down-market．
