A phobia (恐怖症) is a strong fear of something that, in reality, presents little or no danger. Most phobias develop in childhood, but they can also develop in adults. The word phobia comes from the Greek language. It means “to fear”.

Some phobias are common. The fear of spiders is arachnophobia. The fear of small spaces is called claustrophobia. And the fear of heights is acrophobia.

But there are also uncommon phobias. Somniphobia is the fear of falling asleep. And papaphobia is a fear of the leader of the Roman Catholic Church, the Pope. The list of phobias goes on and on.

Having a phobia is not a laughing matter. Phobias often create problems in a person’s life. One common phobia that can create problems and hold people back especially at school and at work is the fear of public speaking or glossophobia. “Glossa” is Greek for “tongue”. A student with glossophobia may be afraid to speak up in class. At work, a person with this phobia may not speak up in meetings.

Whether it is a phobia or a real danger, our bodies react to fear. And we often use physical expressions to describe ourselves when we are afraid. I was so scared that “my blood ran cold” or “I broke out into a cold sweat”.

If a book or movie is scary, we often call it “spine-tingling” or “hair-raising”. If something scares us, we can say it “made our hair stand on end” or that it had us “shaking in our shoes”. All these expressions describe what happens to a person’s body when they are afraid.

The U.S. president Franklin Delano Roosevelt famously said in his inaugural speech (就职演说) that “the only thing we have to fear is fear itself”.  That is a nice idea. But try telling that to a person who is “afraid of their own shadow”.

51. Which of the following can most properly describe “phobia”? 

   A. There are no waves without wind.

   B. Fear is often greater than the danger.

   C. Fear is everywhere around the world.

   D. There’s danger where you think it exists.

52. Which of the following is a rare fear? 

   A. Fear of some spiders. 

   B. Fear of getting to sleep.

   C. Fear of standing high.    

   D. Fear of speaking in public.

53. The author thinks that having a phobia is something   . 

   A. not really scary         B. not so serious at all   

   C. we must take seriously   D. that is often laughed at

54. When you see something horrible you’ll “shake in your shoes”; it is   . 

   A. a physical expression     B. a natural reaction

   C. a sign of a big danger     D. a mental expression 

55. Roosevelt’s words tend to indicate that   .

   A. only your shadow is fearful

   B. there are very few scary things 

   C. there is no danger existing at all

   D. the fear maker is usually yourself

People with different interests and preferences can enjoy themselves through hip-hop culture. It involves spoken words, break-dancing, painting, fashion, lively design, technology and more. Hip-hop is becoming the unofficial music in the education world, as more artists organize school programs, summer camps, and other activities aimed at engaging (使参与) city youth in the classroom through the beliefs in hip-hop culture. Even more and more university teachers — who were once strongly against hip-hop — have joined the group: in the past two decades, hip-hop culture, including hip-hop education, has become an accepted field in universities and the subject of a lot of books.

Hip-hop culture has influenced every piece of American culture and global culture. Teachers must be willing to engage in it because it’s a part of their students’ lives. In that way, teachers can truly be effective in teaching students.

Teachers might at first feel frightened by hip-hop culture, an area in which they might not have previous experience. But a lack of knowledge is actually a blessing; the best trained hip-hop educators have been those that are at the beginning disconnected from the culture. One of the biggest sayings in hip-hop is “keep it real”. If a teacher comes to the classroom and says, “I don’t know hip-hop, but I recognize that it’s your culture and I want to learn,” the kids will teach the teacher, and then the students will be more willing to learn from that educator.

Peer (同龄人) teaching has long been recognized as a powerful way for students to learn and gain confidence in their own abilities. It’s also a useful way of approaching technology in the classroom, where students who love digital technology might know more than their teachers. Thus, teachers and students are put on a more equal basis, with more respect between them — developing an atmosphere where everyone has something to offer for a better educational process.

47. What can we learn from the first paragraph?

   A. Some teachers still dislike hip-hop culture.

   B. Hip-hop is the most influential music in the world.

   C. Hip-hop has become the center of people’s daily life.

   D. Hip-hop culture becomes more popular in the education world.

48. According to the text, young people prefer to learn from the teachers who    .

   A. are fond of music             B. show respect for their culture

   C. know nothing about their lives    D. are willing to teach hip-hop culture

49. What advice does the author offer teachers in the last paragraph?

   A. Paying more attention to students’ interests.

   B. Involving students in teaching certain subjects.

   C. Admitting that students know more than teachers.

   D. Learning hip-hop culture with advanced technology.

50. Where can we most probably read the text?

   A. In the education section of a magazine.

   B. In a book on how to learn technology.

   C. In a book on how to sing hip-hop songs.

   D. In the fashion section of a newspaper.

Guilford County Schools’ oldest volunteer, 97-year-old Thurman Haynes, has been chosen as the national winner in the Salute to Senior Service Competition, sponsored (赞助) by Home Instead.

Haynes, a daily volunteer at Haynes-Inman Education Center in Jamestown, was selected from thousands of nominees (被提名者). “Thurman Haynes reminds us all how important it is to celebrate life on a daily basis,” said Kevin Carr in his nomination. “His love he gives others is amazing.”

Haynes has been involved with the school from the start. He sold the school system the land on which Haynes-Inman was built. He can see the school from his home. The school, which opened in August, 2010, educates special-needs students between the ages of 3 and 22. And Haynes knows something about that, too.

His only grandchild, Meredith, had mental and physical disabilities. She died in 1993 shortly before her 21st birthday. The school is named in part for her, the Meredith Leigh Haynes-Bennie Lee Inman Education Center. In her honor, he volunteers more than 80 hours per month at the school.

He is often one of the first to arrive and greet students each school day. He assists them off the bus and ensures they arrive at class safely. Haynes also lends a hand during PE classes, helping students participate in volleyball, jump rope and other activities.

The students and staff at Haynes-Inman held a parade in January in honor of Haynes’ 97th birthday. “Haynes proves age is not important when it comes to making a positive difference to the lives of others,” said Jeff Huber, president of Home Instead. Haynes is among the 62 percent of seniors 68 and older who take part in voluntary work, according to a recent Marist Poll sponsored by Home Instead.

43. What is the main idea of the text?

   A. Thurman Haynes refuses to retire.

   B. A 97-year-old man is kind to others. 

   C. More and more seniors do voluntary work.

   D. A 97-year-old volunteer wins a national award.

44. Haynes got nominated probably because of    .

   A. his age and education background             B. his excellent voluntary service

   C. his positive attitude towards life            D. his long work hours per month

45. How does Haynes help the special-needs students?

   A. He helps them rebuild their confidence.

   B. He drives them to school and back home.

   C. He teaches them patiently in PE classes.

   D. He treats them kindly with a heart of gold.

46. What can we learn from the last paragraph? 

   A. Jeff Huber was in charge of Haynes’ birthday parade.

   B. The author calls on more seniors to do voluntary work.

   C. Volunteering can make the old people live a positive life.

   D. Many American seniors devote themselves to voluntary work.
