A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Are you
happy? Do you remember a time when you were happy? Are you seeking happiness
today? Many
people have 36 a variety of sources for their
feelings of happiness. Some have put their heart and effort into their work.
Too many have turned to drugs and alcohol. Untold numbers have looked for it in
the possession of expensive cars, exotic vacation homes, and other popular
“toys”. Most of their efforts have a 37 in one common fact: people are
looking for a(n) 38 source of happiness. Unfortunately,
I believe that happiness escapes many people because they 39 the process and journey of finding it. I
have heard many people say that, “I’ll be happy when I get my new promotion.”
Or “I’ll be happy when I lose that 40 20 pounds.” The list goes on and on. You
probably have a few of your own you could 41 if you wanted. This
thinking is 42 because it presupposes(预先假定) that happiness is a “response”
to having, being or doing something. In life, we all 43 stimulus(刺激) and response. Stimulus is when a dog barks at you and bares his
teeth. Response is when your heart beats faster, your palms get sweaty and you 44 to run. Today, some people think that an
expensive car is a stimulus. Happiness is a response. A great paying
job is a stimulus. Happiness is a response. A loving relationship is a
stimulus. Happiness is a response. This belief 45
us thinking and feeling:
“I’ll be happy when…” It has
been my finding that actually the 46 is true. I believe that happiness is a
stimulus and response is what life brings to those who are truly 47 . When we are happy, we 48 to have more success in our work. When we
are happy, people want to be around us and enjoy loving relationships. When we
are happy, we more 49 take better care of our bodies and enjoy
good health. Happiness is NOT a response― 50
, it is a stimulus. Happiness is a conscious 51 we make every day of our lives. For
unknown reasons to me, many choose to be painful, unsuccessful and angry most
of the time. Happiness is 52 . something that happens to us after we get something
we want―we usually get things we want 53
we choose to be happy. I have
made only one 54 rule for my own happiness: Every day
above ground is a GOOD day. 55 , I tend to have a lot of good and
happy days continually. 36. A. owned B. valued C. ignored D.

of my generation, I have a weakness for hero worship(崇拜). At some point, however, we all
begin to question our heroes and our need for them. This leads us to ask: What
is a hero? Despite
great differences in cultures, heroes around the world generally share a number
of characteristics that instruct and inspire people. A hero
does something worth talking about. A hero has a story of adventure to tell and
a group of people who will listen. But a hero goes beyond mere fame(名声). Heroes serve powers or
principles larger than themselves. A sure test for
would-be heroes is: what or whom do they serve? What are they willing to live
and die for? If the answer or evidence suggests they serve only their own fame,
they may be famous persons but not heroes. Madonna and Michael Jackson are
famous, but who would say that their fans find life more abundant? Heroes
are catalysts(催化剂) for
change, they have a vision from the mountain top. They have the skill and the
charm to move the masses. They create new possibilities. Without Gandhi, India
might still be part of the British Empire.
Without Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King. Jr., we might still have segregated
(隔离的) buses,
restaurants, and parks. It may be possible for big changes to occur without the
heroes who have attractive personalities, but the pace of change would be slow,
the future uncertain, and the committee meetings endless. 56. According to the passage, heroes may share the following EXCEPT that ________. A. they generally have certain inspiring characteristics B. they can attract a large number
of fans C. they
often have the skill to move the masses D.
they usually serve only their own fame 57. Madonna and Michael Jackson are not considered heroes because ________. A. they are popular only among certain groups of people B.
their performances do not improve their fans morally C. they
are not much concerned about their fans D. they are not clear about the principles they should follow 58. The author concludes that historical changes would ________. A. be delayed without leaders with inspiring personal qualities B. not
happen without heroes making the necessary sacrifices C.
produce leaders with attractive personalities D. not
happen but for the committee meetings Pronouncing a language is a skill. Every
normal person is expert in the skill of pronouncing his own language; but few
people are even reasonably proficient at pronouncing foreign languages. Now
there are many reasons for this. But I suggest that the fundamental reason why
people in general do not speak foreign languages very much better than they do
is that they fail to grasp the true nature of the problem of learning to
pronounce, and consequently never set about undertaking it in the right way.
Far too many people fail to realize that pronouncing a foreign language is a
skill―one that needs careful training of a special kind, and one that cannot be
acquired by just leaving it to take care of itself. I think even teachers of
language, while recognizing the importance of a good accent, tend to ignore the
branch of study concerned with speaking the language in their practical
teaching. So English pronunciation must be taught; the teacher should be
prepared to devote some of the lesson time to this, and get the student to feel
that here is a matter worthy of receiving his close attention. It is important that the teacher
should be in possession of the necessary information. This can generally be
obtained from books. It is possible to get from books some idea of the
mechanics of speech, and of what we call general phonetic theory. But it does
not follow that you can teach pronunciation successfully as soon as you have
read the necessary books. It depends after that what use you make of your
knowledge; and this is a matter of technique. 59. Many people do not speak
foreign languages well because they ________. A. are not proficient in pronouncing their own language B. do
not have time to undertake the problem C. cannot
grasp the nature of the problem of learning a foreign language D. fail
to realize that
pronouncing a foreign language requires special training 60. It can be inferred from the
passage that many language teachers ________. A. speak English with a poor accent B. lack
training in teaching pronunciation C. do
not devote enough lesson time to teaching pronunciation D. have
failed to recognize
the importance of a good accent 61. According to the writer, what
does the teacher need in order to teach pronunciation successfully? A. Some necessary books.
B. Careful
training. C. Necessary information and technique. D. Skills and
experience. 62. In the next part, the author
would most probably discuss about ________. A. the importance of a good accent B. techniques
for teaching pronunciation C. the
knowledge teachers of language should possess D. the
language teacher’s
attitude toward pronunciation C When I was an education official in Palo Alto, California,
Polly Tyner, the president of our school board, wrote a letter that was printed
in the Palo Alto
Times. Polly’s son, Jim, had great difficulty in school. He was classified
as the educationally disabled and required a great deal of patience on the part
of his parents and teachers. But Jim was a happy kid with a great smile that
lit up the room. His parents acknowledged his academic difficulties, but always
tried to help him see his strengths so that he could walk with pride. Shortly
after Jim finished high school, he was killed in a motorcycle accident. After
his death, his mother submitted this letter to the newspaper: Today we buried our 20-year-old son. He was
killed instantly in a motorcycle accident on Friday night. How I wish I had
known when I talked to him last that it would be the last time. If I had only
known I would have said, “Jim, I love you and I’m very proud of you.” I would have taken the time to count the many
blessings he brought to the lives of the many who loved him. I would have taken
the time to appreciate his beautiful smile, the sound of his laughter, his
genuine love of people. When you put all the good qualities on the
scale and try to balance all the irritating phenomena such as the radio
which was always too loud, the haircut that wasn’t to our liking, the dirty socks
under the bed, etc., your angry feelings won’t amount to much. I won’t get another chance to
tell my son all that I would have wanted him to hear, but, other parents, you
do have a chance. Tell your young people what you would want them to hear if
you knew it would be your last conversation. The last time I talked to Jim was
the day he died. He called me to say, “Hi, Mom! I just called to say I love
you. Got to go to work. Bye.” He gave me something to treasure forever. If there is any purpose at all for Jim’s death,
maybe it is to make others appreciate more of life and to have people,
especially family members, take the time to let each other know just how much
we care. You may never have another
chance. 63. According to the passage, we
know that _______. A. Jim was always ashamed of himself B. Jim did
very well in his studies C.
Jim’s parents were
patient with him D. Jim
failed to finish his high school 64. The underlined word “irritating”
in Paragraph 4 most probably means _______. A. annoying B.
aggressive C.
impatient D.
thrilling 65. By writing the letter printed
in the Palo Alto
Times, the author intends to _______. A. mourn her son’s sudden death in a traffic accident B.
remind people to be cautious of motorcycles C. tell
parents to take better care of their children D.
suggest people taking
the chance to express their love in time 66. Which of the following can be
the best title of the passage? A. Love your Family. B. Do it
Today. C. Walk
with Pride. D.
Appreciate Smiles. D When
we talk about breaking records in the Olympic Games, we came across the issue
of performance-improving drugs. These drugs are originally developed to help
people with illnesses, but in the wrong hands, they create supreme athletes
making them faster and stronger than is normal for human beings. Taking these
drugs is known as “doping” and although they improve performance, they also
cause serious health problems in later life for those who abuse them. The
sports world does not tolerate doping as it is a fundamental form of cheating.
Ben Johnson would still be the 100 metres world record holder if he had not
been caught taking drugs in the 1988 Olympics. Other records remain doubtful,
like Florence Griffith’s 100 metres record back in 1988. Did she take drugs? Doping
is not only a problem in athletes, it is part of every sport when athletes seek
to achieve beyond their natural limits and are prepared to cheat to do so. In
2006 cycling fans worldwide were shocked when the winner of the annual cycling
race, the Tour de France, was caught doping. Floyd Lands
made several lame excuses blaming medicine he had been taking for injury but
these were all in vain. He failed two drug tests. Unfortunately, it is not easy to catch athletes
using illegal drugs. It is compulsory for winners to be tested but other
participants are only tested at random. New drugs are developed all the time
and drug tests for sporting events are often one step behind. However,
doping is not the only thing we need to worry about. Unless we are careful, “gene-therapy(基因治疗)” will be the next big
threat. For medical purposes, scientists have already found ways to build
muscle and increase strength by changing people’s genes. Gene-therapy is very
controversial and many people oppose further research into it. If gene-therapy
were used now, it would be almost impossible to find out. In the future,
athletes who have their genes changed might be able to do the 100 metres dash
in just 8 seconds or the marathon in less than two hours. In
today’s world, winners are celebrated and treated as heroes, but if doping and
gene-therapy continue to affect the outcomes of major sporting events, the word
“hero” will have lost all meaning. 67. What is “doping”? A. It’s a form of cheating in sports. B.
It’s a physical test given to athletes. C. It’s a new way to improve athletes’ performances. D. It’s a health problem athletes have now. 68. Doping can do the following BUT
_______. A. help people with illnesses B.
help athletes build muscles C. cause serious health problems D.
make athletes perform better 69. Which of the following statements is true about “gene-therapy”? A. Gene-therapy has caused serious
problems in the sporting world. B.
Gene-therapy will bring about more “sports heroes” in the future. C.
Gene-therapy is opposed by all people because of its bad effects. D. Gene-therapy is originally developed for medical purposes. 70. What’s the general idea of the whole passage? A. It’s hard to catch athletes doping
because drug tests are very slow. B.
Doping is a huge problem in the sporting world that can never be solved. C. The
present and future of the sporting world is being affected by doping and
gene-therapy. D. Ben Johnson, Florence Griffith and Floyd Landis have all shocked the world by
their speed. 第II卷 非选择题 (二部分，共35分) 第四部分 任务型阅读 (共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分) 请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的词。 注意：每空只填1个单词。 Time talks. It speaks more
plainly than words. Time communicates in many ways. In social life, time plays a
very important part. In the United
States, guests tend to feel they are not
highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or
four days before the party date. But this is perhaps not true in some other
countries. There it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in
advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to
be forgotten. The meanings of time differ in different
parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from cultures
that treat time differently. Promptness is valued highly in American life. For
example, no one would think of keeping a business associate waiting for an
hour. It would be too impolite. When equals(同辈)
meet, a person who is five minutes late is expected to make a short apology. If
he is less than five minutes late, he will say a few words of explanation,
though perhaps he will not complete the sentence. In the western world, particularly in the United States,
people tend to think of time as something fixed in nature, something from which
one cannot escape. As a rule, Americans think of time as a road stretching into
the future, along which one progresses. The road has many sections which are to
be kept separate―“one thing at a time”. People who cannot plan events are not
highly regarded. The American idea of the future is limited, however. It is the
foreseeable future, not the future of the South Asian, which may involve
centuries. Someone has said of the South Asian idea of time. “Time is like a
museum with endless halls and rooms. You, the viewer, are walking through the
museum in the dark, holding a light to each scene as you pass it. God is in
charge of the museum, and only he knows all that is in it. One lifetime
represents one room.” Since time has such different meanings in
different cultures, communication is often difficult. We will understand each
other a little better if we can keep this fact in mind. Time Different places In the USA In other places 71 South Asia Different 72 of time 1. It is impolite that one is 73 of an appointment only three days
earlier. 2. Future is 74 and foreseeable. 1. It is considered foolish that you plan
an appointment too 75 . 2. Future is far away and may involve a
very long period of time. Attitudes toward time 1. Time is like a road stretching into the
future. People should do one thing at a time. 2. People are in charge of time by 76 events reasonably. 1. Time is like a museum with endless halls
and rooms. One lifetime 77 one room. 2. God takes charge of time. 78 1. It’s impossible to keep a business
associate waiting for an hour. 2. A person who is five minutes late will 79 to the other briefly. Conclusion It’s difficult to
communicate 80 understanding the different meanings of
time in different cultures. 第五部分 书面表达 (25分) 在学习生活和工作中，学会与人合作是非常重要的。请你根据下表中所提供的信息，写一篇题为 “Being a good partner”的英文演讲稿。 为何与人合作 1. 现代社会必备；

spread 第二部分 阅读理解 (每小题3分，共60分) Most animals have little connection with animals of a different
kind, unless they hunt them for food. Sometimes, however, two kinds of animals
come together in a partnership(伙伴关系) which is good for both of them. You may have noticed some birds
sitting on the backs of sheep. This is not because they want a ride, but
because they find easy food in the parasites(寄生虫) on sheep. The sheep allow the birds to do so because they remove
the cause of discomfort. So although they can manage without each other, they
do better together. Sometimes an animal has a plant partner. The relationship develops
until the two partners cannot manage without each other. This is so in the
corals(珊瑚) of the sea. In their
skins they have tiny plants which act as “dustmen”, taking some of the waste
products from the coral and giving in return oxygen which the animal needs to breathe.
If the plants are killed, or are even prevented from receiving light so that
they cannot live normally, the corals will die. 36. Some birds
like to sit on a sheep because . A. they can
eat its parasites B. they enjoy traveling with the sheep C. they depend on the sheep for existence D. they
find the position most comfortable 37. The underlined
word “they ” in the last sentence of the first paragraph refers to . A. birds
and parasites B. birds and sheep C. parasites and sheep D. sheep, birds and parasites 38. We learn from
the text that corals depend on plants for . A. comfort B. light
C. food D.
oxygen 39. What does the second
paragraph mainly discuss? A. Some
animals and plants depend on each other for existence B. Some animals and plants develop their relationship easily. C. Some plants depend on each other for food. D. Some animals live better together. Fat and shy, Ben Saunders was the last kid in his class picked for
any spouts team. “Football, tennis, cricket―anything with a round ball, I was useless, ” he says now with a
laugh. But back then he was the one always made fun of in school gym classes in
Devonshire, England. It was a mountain bike he received for his 15th birthday
that changed him. At first he went biking alone in a nearby forest. Then he
began to ride the bike along in a nearby forest. Then he began to ride the bike
along with a runner friend. Gradually, Sanders set up his mind on building up
his body, increasing his speed and strength. At the age of 18, he ran his first
marathon. The following year he met John Ridgway and was hired as an
instructor at Ridgway’s school of adventure in Scotland, where he learnt about
Ridgway’s cold-eater exploits. Greatly interested, Saunders read all he
could about North Pole explorers and adventures, he decided that this would be
his future. In 2001, after becoming a skillful skier, Saunders started his first
long-distance expedition towards the North Pole. It took unbelievable energy.
He suffered frostbite, ran into a polar bear and pushed his body to the limit,
pulling his supply-loaded sled up and over rocky rice. Saunders has since become the youngest person to ski along to the
North Pole, and he’s skied more of the North Pole by himself than any other
British man. His old playmates would not believe the change. Next October, Saunders, 27, heads south from the coast of Antarctica
to the South Pole and back, a 2900-kilometer journey that has never been
completed on skis. 40. What change

Smoking in public places? Smoking bans
can be seen in public places in many countries. Our class had a heated
discussion on banning smoking in public places. Opinions fall into two. Some students
agree that smoking is dangerous, Not only does smoking harm smokers themselves
but also harm the people around them. Bans in public places would also urge
smokers to smoke less or give it up. However, Others
hold an opposite view. They believe that it’s legal to smoke and smokers should
have the freedom and right to smoke in any place they like. Besides, bans on smoking
in public places would drive many bars, pubs or clubs out of business. What’s
worse, many people will be out of job because of this. 试题详情

are different from one culture to another．Some societies, such as
America and Australia are mobile and very open, people here change jobs and move
house quite often．As a result, they have a lot of
relationships that often last only a short time．So it’s normal to have
friendly conversations with people that they have just met, and you can talk
about things that other cultures would regard as personal． On the other hand there are
more crowded and less mobile societies where long-term relationships are more
important．A Malaysian or Mexican business person will
want to get to know you very well before he or she feels happy to start
business．But when you do get to know each other,
the relationship becomes much deeper than it would in a mobile society． To Americans, both Europeans
and Asians seem cool and formal at first．On the other hand, as a
passenger from a less mobile society put it, it’s no fun spending several hours
next to a stranger who wants to tell you all about his or her life and asks you
all sorts of questions that you don’t want to answer． Cross-cultural differences
aren’t just a problem for travelers, but also for the flights that carry them．All
flights want to provide the best service, but ideas about good service are
different place to place．This can be seen most clearly
in the way that problems are dealt with． Some societies have
“universalist” cultures．These societies strongly
respect rules, and they treat every person and situation in basically the same
way．“Particularist” societies, on the other
hand, also have rules, but they are less important than the society’s unwritten
ideas about what is right or wrong for a particular situation or a particular
person．So the normal rules are changed to fit
the needs of the situation or the importance of the person． This difference can cause
problems．A traveler from a particularist society,
India, is checking in for a flight in Germany, a country which has a
universalist culture．The Indian traveler has too
much luggage, but he explains that he has been away from home for a long time
and the suitcases are full of presents for his family．He
expects that the check-in official will understand his problem and will change
the rules for him．The check-in official explains that if he
was allowed to have too much luggage, it wouldn’t be fair to the other
passengers．But the traveler thinks this is unfair,
because the other passengers don’t have his problem． 61．Often
moving from one place to another makes people like Americans and Australians
____． A．like traveling better
B．easy to communicate with C．difficult to make real
friends D．have
a long-term relationship with their neighbors 62．A
person from a less mobile society will feel it _____ when a stranger keeps
talking to him or her, and asking him or her questions． A．boring
B．friendly C．normal D．rough 63．In
“particularist societies”,
______． A．they have no rules for people
to obey B．people obey the society’s
rules completely C．no one obeys the society’s
rules though they have D．the society’s rules can be
changed with different persons or situations 64．The
writer of the passage thinks that the Indian and the German have different
ideas about rules because of different ______． A．interests
B．cultures C．habits
and customs D．ways
of life Advice to “sleep on it” could be
well founded, scientists say．After a good night’s sleep a
problem that couldn’t be solved the night before can often appear more
manageable, although the evidence until now has been anecdotal (个人体验的)．But
researchers at the University of Luebek in Germany have designed an experiment
that shows a good night’s sleep can improve insight (顿悟)
and problem-solving． “If you have some newly-got memories in
your brain, sleep acts on these memories’ restructures them , so that after
sleep the insight into problem which you could not solve before increases,”
said Dr Jan Born , a neuroscientist (神经科学家), at the university．To
test the theory, they taught volunteers two simple rules to help them turn a
string of numbers into a new order．There was also a third, hidden
rule, which could help them increase their speed in solving the problem．The
researchers divided the volunteers into two groups: half were allowed to sleep
after the training while the rest were forced to stay awake．Dr
Jan Born and his team noticed that the group that had slept after the training
were twice as likely to figure out the third rule as the other group．“Sleep
helped,” Born said in a telephone interview．“The important thing is that
you have to have a memory representation in your brain of the problem you want
to solve and then you sleep, so it can act on the problem．”
But Born admitted that he and his team don’t know how restructuring of memories
occurs or what governs it．Pierre Maquet and Perrine Ruby
of the University of Liege in Belgium said the experimental evidence supports
the anecdotal suggestions that sleep can help develop creative thinking．Although
the role of sleep in human creativity will still be a mystery, the research
gives people good reason to fully respect their periods of sleep, they added． 65．The
underlined phrase “sleep on it” in Paragraph 1 probably means ． A．to delay deciding something
until the next day B．to
get as much sleep as possible C．to go on sleeping without
being disturbed D．to
sleep till after the time you usually get up in the morning 66．Jan

can be inferred from the passage that ______． A．people
should sleep so long as they have time B．sleep
is the only way to solve hard problems C．people have various periods of
sleep D．people know how sleep
reconstructs memories 68．What
would be the best title for the passage? A．How
Sleep Works
B．Sleep Helps Solve Problems C．No
Evidence, But Well Founded
D．Born’s Discovery On Sleep Winter’s short days are more
than cold．For many people, winter depression, the

feel good or feel like you’ve achieved something．For example, play table tennis
or badminton．  If you are feeling depressed, you may
feel like staying away from friends．Yet this is a time when a friend’s
support can be helpful．Call them regularly．Remember,

used to enjoy
Increased need for sleep A change in eating habits,
especially an appetite for sweet or starchy(含淀粉的) foods Weight gain A heavy feeling in the arms

hormones from a balanced diet can help keep a healthy body Mr．Peter Johnson, aged twenty-three, battled for half an hour to escape from
his trapped car yesterday when it landed upside down in three feet of water．Mr．Johnson took the
only escape route―through
the boot(行李箱)． Mr．Johnson’s car had finished
up in a ditch(沟渠) at
Romney Marsin, Kent after skidding on ice and hitting a bank．“Fortunately, the
water began to come in only slowly,” Mr．Johnson said．“I
couldn’t force the doors because they were jammed against the walls of the
ditch and dared not open the windows because I knew water would come flooding
in．” Mr．Johnson, a sweet
salesman of Sitting Home, Kent, first tried to attract the attention of other
motorists by sounding the horn and hammering on the roof and boot．Then he began his
struggle to escape． Later he
said, “It was really a half penny that saved my life．It was the only coin
I had in my pocket and I used it to loosen the back seat to get into the boot．I hammered
desperately with a hammer trying to make someone hear, but no help came．” It took ten
minutes to loosen the seat, and a further five minutes to clear the sweet
samples from the boot．Then Mr．Johnson
found a wrench and began to work on the boot lock．Fifteen minutes passed by．“It was the only chance I had．Finally it gave, but as
soon as I moved the boot lid, the water and mud poured in．I forced the lid
down into the mud and scrambled clear as the car filled up．” His
hands and arms cut and bruised(擦伤), Mr．Johnson
got to Beckett Farm nearby, where he was looked after by the farmer’s wife, Mrs．Lucy Bates．Huddled in a
blanket, he said, “That thirty minutes seemed like hours．” Only the tips of the car wheels were visible, police
said last night．The vehicle
had sunk into two feet of mud at the bottom of the ditch． 73．_______________ is the most important to Mr．Johnson during his
escape? A．The hammer B．The coin C．The screw D．The horn 74．Mr．Johnson’s car
accident happened _________________． A．with his car
standing on its boot B．while on his way
home C．partly due to the
slippery road． D．because of the high
speed 75．“Finally it gave” (Paragraph 5) means
that _______． A．luckily the door was
opened in the end B．at last I found the
boot lock C．he forced the boot
lid open with all his efforts D．The chance to escape
lost 76．It may be inferred
from the passage that _______． A．the ditch was along
a quiet country road B．the accident
happened on a snowy day C．the bank lent Mr．Johnson a hand about
his damage D．Mr．Johnson was well
treated for his injury If you
want to teach your children how to say sorry, you must be good at saying it
yourself, especially to your own children．But how you say it can be quite tricky． If you say
to your children “I am sorry I got angry with you, but …” what follows that
“but” can make the apology ineffective: “I had a bad day” or “your noise was
giving me a headache” leaves the person who has been injured feeling that he
should be apologizing for his bad behavior in expecting an apology．  Another
method by which people appear to apologize without actually doing so is to say
“I’m sorry you’re upset”; this suggests that you are somehow at fault for
allowing yourself to get upset by what the other person has done．

Are you one of those who
always fear whenever a dog is approaching? If you are, you have got phobia ( a
very strong feeling of being afraid of something ). Of all human fears, phobias
may be the most uncontrollable. They are most often caused by a particular situation
or object. In general, phobias can mainly be divided into three varieties. To
begin with，agoraphobia is a fear of staying in
strange surroundings, for example, an unfamiliar place, or an open area. Social
phobia refers to the anxiety people show when they have to stay or perform on
social events, for instance, speaking in front of the class. Lastly, there are
a wide range of specific phobias. People suffering from this kind of phobia are
terrified of specific objects or creatures, such as spiders, perhaps to your
surprise, clowns. Besides, there are about six hundred and fifty phobias having
been listed by psychologists (心理学家) as yet.
