8．Sometimes people call each other"scared-cat"．But have you ever thought about this expression？When a cat is frightened（害怕），its heart starts beating faster，its muscles get tense（紧张的） and there are changes in the chemicals（化学） in its bloodstream．Although the cat doesn't realize（意识到） this，its body is getting ready for action．If the danger continues，the animal will do one of two things．It will protect（保护） itself，or it will run away as fast as it can．
Something like this also happens to people．When we are excited，angry or scared by other feelings，our bodies go through many physical changes．Our hearts beat faster，and our muscles get tense．All of these changes make us more alert（警醒） and ready to react（反应）．We，too，get ready to defend（防御；保护） ourselves or run．
Human beings，however，have a problem that animals never face．If we give way to our feelings and let them take over，we can get into trouble．Have you ever said something in anger or hit somebody and regretted（后悔） it later？Have you ever shouted at a teacher，told somebody you were lonely，or said you were in love，and then wished later you had kept your mouth shut？It isn't always clever to express your feelings freely．
Does this mean that it's smarter always to hide（藏） our feelings？No!If you keep feelings of anger，sadness hidden away or bottled up inside，your body stays tense．Physical illness can develop．It can actually be bad for your health．（ It isn't good to keep pleasant feelings inside either； all feeling need to be expressed （表达）．）
Feeling that you keep all bottled up inside don't just go away．It's as if you bought some bananas and put them in a cupboard．You might not be able to see them，but before long you'd smell them．And if you opened the cupboard，chances are you'd see little fruit flies flying all over them．They are bad．
You can try to treat feelings as if they were bananas in the cupboard．You can hide them and you can pretend（假装） they don't exist（存在），but they'll still be around．And at last you'll have to deal with them，just like those bananas．

分析 文章大意：
本片文章主要讲述的是动物和人身上都存在的一种东西，那就是情感．当我们害怕或伤心时，心脏的跳动会加快，肌肉会变得紧绷，随时准备进行反击．但是，与动物不同，我们人类会悄悄地隐藏情感或者不加以节制的释放，前者会伤害我们的身体，让我们一致保持一种消极的状态，后者会让我们做一些后悔的事情，比如打了自己的朋友．所以说，不论是好的情感还是坏的情感，我们都应该用正确的方式加以释放．
解答 36．A，推理判断题，文中提到"If we give way to our feelings and let them take over，we can get into trouble"如果我们尽情的发泄情感或被情感控制，我们就会深陷危机，身体会受到损伤，后文也重点介绍情感对我们的影响，由此确定选择A．
37．C，词义猜测题，文中提到"When a cat is frightened，its heart starts beating faster，its muscles get tense"当一只猫感觉害怕的时候，她的心脏会跳动的特别快，猫跟我们一样，遇到危险有时候会害怕，此时我们身体会变得僵硬，肌肉会不自觉的紧绷，所以此处变得tense紧绷的应该是肌肉，由此确定选择C．
38．C，推理判断题，文中提到"Human beings，however，have a problem that animals never face"我们与动物一样会拥有情感，相同的反应，但是我们会面临一些动物身上没有的烦恼和问题，由此确定选择C．
39．D，推理判断题，文中提到"If you keep feelings of anger，sadness hidden away or bottled up inside，your body stays tense"如果你不把生气或者伤心的情感释放出来，他们就会一直在你身体里，你的身体会一直保持一种紧张的状态，由此确定选择D．
40．A，推理判断题，文中提到"You can hide them and you can pretend they don't exist，but they'll still be around．And at last you'll have to deal with them"你可以假装认为不好的情感已经消散，但他们会一直在身体里，对我们产生不好的影响，因此应该想办法将它解决，由此确定选择A．
