Fear is an emotion like others such as happiness, anger, hurt, sadness. We need emotions to process information we receive and decide how to respond. Being afraid of fast cars, for example, is something that might protect us from harm. Being afraid of the consequence of a choice may prevent us getting into trouble.
Fears in young children commonly center on certain animals like snakes or big dogs. Fears are caused often because of experiences or ideas expressed by others, and at times, the media. Many normal fears during the early years, like men with beards, or large dogs, disappear with age. Those relating to personal failure and ridicule (嘲笑) remain through adulthood and may need special help to overcome.
Children’s fears are often trivial, but that doesn’t mean they should be ignored. They need to be recognized and accepted as real for that child. Only when we help children understand their fears can they grow normally in their ability to deal with them.
Research shows that as a child grows up, the center of his fears changes a lot. Things like divorce, a teacher who “shouted at me”, people with guns, bullies, big boys, or “making fun of me” top the list of childhood fears.
We can not always prevent these experiences from happening, but it’s essential that children be allowed to freely express their emotions without judgment. Sympathy and a caring listener will help ease the pain of these fears. Read books and stories to your child about children who have experienced similar fears. This helps children talk about their fears and find ways to cope. With all emotions, fears become less of a problem for children as they gain self-confidence and they find that fear is normal and can be dealt with.

小题1:B 细节理解题。根据第二段提到Fears are caused often because of experiences or ideas expressed by others, and at times, the media,害怕可能由于别人对于事物的描述，或者媒体对他的描述的导致的，所以不是天生的而是后天所知道了，故选B项。
小题2:A.细节推断题。根据第三段Children’s fears are often trivial, but that doesn’t mean they should be ignored.孩子的恐惧通常是很小，但并且不意味着他们被忽视，所以只有小还会被忽视故选A项。
小题3:D推理判断题。根据第三段提到Only when we help children understand their fears can they grow normally in their ability to deal with them只有通过帮助孩子理解恐惧，他们才能真正的成长来自己处理他们。所以选D项。
小题4:A推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句话提到Those relating to personal failure and ridicule (嘲笑) remain through adulthood and may need special help to overcome那些与个人失败或被嘲笑有关的恐惧可能需要一些特殊的帮助才能克服，所以有些恐惧可能很强的影响，故选A项。
小题5:B 主旨大意题。本文第一段提到恐惧是一种正常的情感，他的存在能让我们避免进入困境，而孩子的恐惧有时是外界造成的而不是天生的，有时可能问题很小但并不能忽视，实验表示当孩子长大了，就会发生变化，我们不能阻止事情的发生，但允许孩子自由表达自己的看法是非常重要，让孩子在这个过程中记得自信，所以B项符合题意。
