    Fear and its companion pain are two of the most useful things that man and animals possess if they are used. If fire didn’t hurt when it burned, children would play with it until their hands were burned away. Similarly, if pain existed but fear didn’t, a child could burn itself again and again because fear would not warn it to keep away from the fire that had burnt it before. A really fearless soldier—and some do exist—is not a good soldier because he is soon killed; and a dead soldier is of no use to his army. Fear and pain are therefore two guards without which man and animals might soon die out.

    In our first sentence we suggested that fear ought to be properly used. If, for example, you never go out of your house because of the danger of being knocked down and killed in the street by a car, you are letting fear rule you too much. The important thing is not to let fear rule you, but instead, to use fear as your servant and guide. Fear will warn you of dangers; then you have to decide what action to take.

    In many cases, you can take quick and successful action to avoid the danger. For example, you see a car coming straight towards you; fear warns you, you jump out of the way, and all is well.

    In some cases, however, you decide that there is nothing that you can do to avoid the danger. For example, you cannot prevent an airplane crashing into your house, and you may not want to go and live in a desert where there are no airplanes. In this case, fear has given you its warning, you have examined it and decided on your course of action, so fear of the particular danger is no longer of any use to you, and you have to try to overcome it.

    65. People sometimes succeed in timely avoiding danger because _________.

    A. they have gained experience     B. they are warned of the danger and take quick action

    C. they jump out of the way in time  D. they are calm in face of danger

    66. What is implied but not stated in the passage?

    A. Too much fear is harmful              B. Fear is always something helpful

    C .Fear is something that can be avoided      D. Fear ought to be used as our guide in our life

    67.The best title for this passage should be __________.

    A. No Pains, No Gains          B. Pain and Actions

    C. The Value of Fear      D .The Reason Why People Fear

    65---67   BAC

    第二节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）

    请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

    I love spending weekends with my grandparents. I felt especially welcome and    36    in Grany’s small kitchen. It was there that we had conversations and Grany always seemed to include a bit of    37    with every recipe she prepared.

    I remember one Saturday morning    38   . After breakfast I asked Grany, “What kind of soup are you making today?” “Vegetable beef,” she answered, “And you can help by chopping some carrots and celery.” As I slowly peeled carrots, I    39   , “I’ve got to give an oral work report next week and I’m    40   .”

    Grany looked at me and said, “Most people are afraid of    41    speaking. But remember, the only thing you have to fear is fear    42   .”

    “But I don’t like standing up in front of everybody.    43    I forget what I’m going to say?”

    “Have you prepared    44   ?” asked Grany.

    “Well, no. That would be a lot of    45    work.”

    “But do you like my soup?” she asked. Soup? I wondered. I thought we were talking about my life.

    “I love your soup, Grany.” I said.

    “Well, you know, a lot of people don’t    46    homemade soup these days. They say it’s too much trouble. First you have to cook a nice broth（肉汤）and then chop all the vegetables into bite-size pieces.”

    “But I don’t    47    a little trouble,” she said. “It adds variety and flavor to my soup and to my life. My soup would be    48    bland（淡而无味的）without the vegetables, and so would my life if it didn’t have the little    49   .”

    After pausing she added, “Besides, you have to remember God knows exactly    50    he’s cooking up in your life. You’ve got to trust him with the recipe.” She smiled and then walked to the sink to start washing the dishes.

    While I help Grany  51  , I thought as well what she had said. I still had a few days to  52    my oral report.

    That Saturday, Grany gave me food for thought as well as a bowl of her homemade soup. Every spoonful of Grany’s masterpiece was    53    with delicious bits of meat and vegetables. As I enjoyed the meal with my grandparents,    54    my problems didn’t seem quite so big any more. I was determined to work on them. Grany had said hard work    55   . Maybe I too could turn a little trouble into something as special as Grany’s homemade soup.tesoon

    Most people hate change, which is sad since we often go through intense changes in life. And for some of us, even the smallest changes can upset our day. So the question is: Why do most of us find making adjustments to our lives so hard?

        Fear of change is nothing new. Over a century ago, the Parisians were unhappy over a particular addition to their city: the Eiffel Tower. In fact, the citizens were so angry about the plans for the tower that they protested its construction. As strange as it may seem, their anger was completely natural. They were given no choice about the huge change that was going to be made, so they became angry.

        But we get upset over changes even when we do have a say in the matter and think about them carefully. Changes are brought about every day by the decisions we make: which school to attend, which job to take, whom to marry. Voluntary changes also make most of us uneasy because we don’t know how those changes will affect our future.

        People have discovered that the key to overcoming the fear and anger associated with change is to be flexible. When they are flexible, people can adapt to new situations more easily. Being flexible is especially important in the 21st century as technology makes change occur faster than ever before. Those who oppose change, especially with technology in the workplace, may find themselves out of a job.

        When change comes, and you have no choice but to face it, embrace it. A positive attitude helps a lot. In fact, the change may turn out to be the best thing for you. That new job you got may end up being much better than your old one. You may make the best friends of your life in the new city you moved to. Don’t merely focus on how you feel about change; instead decide to accept the change. The change is the reality, and it’s up to you whether the change will be a success or a failure. You never know – your next change may be your life’s Eiffel Tower!

    1.Why did the building of the Eiffel Tower make the Parisians unhappy?

    A. Because they didn’t like the design of the Eiffel Tower.

    B. Because they couldn’t avoid accepting the Eiffel Tower.

    C. Because it was no use building the Eiffel Tower.

    D. Because the Eiffel Tower seemed strange.

    2.According to the passage, it can be inferred that what won’t disturb us are _____________.

    A. the changes that have agreement with one’s will

    B. the small changes we meet in our daily life

    C. the changes whose effect we can predict and control

    D. the changes that we discuss or consider thoroughly

    3.How should we overcome negative emotions that the changes bring?

    A. We are not supposed to face the changes and let them alone.

    B. We should actively accustom ourselves to the new circumstance.

    C. We should not take the changes seriously and avoid them as much as possible.

    D. We should know that the changes merely bring us bad influence.

    4.What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?

    A. The change will probably make you fail like the Eiffel Tower.

    B. The change is like the Eiffel Tower which is not good for our future life.

    C. Your future life is never known just like the Eiffel Tower unknown to the Parisians.

    D. Your future life is likely to be a great achievement due to the change.

    5.What is the best title for the passage?

        A. The Psychology of Change            B. The ways to Overcome the Fear

        C. Changes That Disturb Us             D. The Bad Effect of Changes
