题型:不详难度:来源:
A psychologist once said,“If you’ve conquered every one of your fears, congratulations — you’re dead.”This humorous quote points to a simple truth — no one can escape fear completely. However, fear can be a good thing. It is a natural, healthy reaction to danger. In fact, sometimes we are afraid of things that aren’t dangerous, such as public speaking, failing a test, or being rejected. These unhealthy fears can keep us from fulfilling our dreams. So how can we successfully face our fears? First, admit what you fear and then share it with someone you trust. Perhaps you worry that others would look down on you if they know what you fear, but you might be surprised at how many other people share the same fears. Learning you are not the only one who fears something will give you self-esteem(自尊心) a push. Second, ask yourself,“What is the worst-case scenario(最坏的情况)?”This question can help you gain perspective(洞察力).If you think about it, the worst might not be that bad, after all. Compared with the fear of losing a contest or being turned down, the regret of having missed opportunities can be even harder to bear. Even worse, you will never know what you might have accomplished. Finally, take small steps toward conquering your fears. If you fear public speaking, start by giving a small talk to a few people. If your talk doesn’t go well, try again. Each small success will increase your confidence and persistence is one of the keys to success. You might never completely conquer your fear of certain things, but what is important is that you can bring yourself to do what you fear. True bravery is feeling afraid but doing what you have to do anyway. It’s also true that you struggle with fear and don’t let your fears stop you from getting the most out of life. 小题1:This passage mainly discusses .A.the harm of fear to success | B.varieties of fear | C.ways to handle fear | D.necessity of fear | 小题2:In the writer’s opinion, what might be even worse than losing a contest?A.Being turned down by others. | B.Forgetting what to say in public speaking. | C.Sharing ideas with others. | D.Missing an opportunity. | 小题3:According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A.Not everything we are afraid of is dangerous. | B.It’s encouraged to share your fear with others. | C.It’s difficult to overcome some fears. | D.What you fear should be worse than what you think. | 小题4:It can be learned from the passage that a really courageous person .A.does what is necessary to do | B.always achieves what he or she wants | C.has no fear in his or her life | D.never loses a contest |

I have always loved kids. However, the children here at Shanti Bhavan are unlike any that I have ever met. They have a strong drive and determination and are thankful for the wonderful opportunity they have been given. While at Shanti Bhavan, I taught 3rd graders writing, language, and literature, 8th, 9th, and 10th graders public speaking, 9th and 10th graders basketball, and piano lessons. I found teaching the children was the most rewarding experience of my life. They are really fast learners and really have an interest in knowledge. It was easy to get on with such polite, well-mannered, and hard-working students. They dream big and I only hope that I can continue to be a part of helping them achieve their goals. As far as my day-to-day living went, I was perfectly comfortable here and came to consider it as a second home. My room was clean and comfortable and the staff could not have been nicer. In addition, I really appreciated the support of all the teachers. They were so welcoming and kind that it truly cleared away my fears and culture shock. They often gave me advice and befriended me and I owe much to them for their warmth. I honestly feel that Shanti Bhavan is the most beautiful place on earth. It has love and learning, and I am very sad to be leaving. I am looking forward to my return to this newly found family as soon as possible. Thank you so much Miss Beena and Mrs. Law for all of your love and support. The experience that I worked with them will always come into my mind. This has been the greatest experience of my life. 小题1:What can we learn from the first paragraph?A.Kids liked basketball lessons best. | B.Kids at Shanti Bhavan helped the author a lot. | C.The author is a fast learner and dreams big. | D.The author taught different lessons at the same time. | 小题2:What does the author think of the students at Shanti Bhavan?A.Generous | B.Clever | C.Brave | D.Funny | 小题3:Which of the following words can best describe the author’s day-to-day living at Shanti Bhavan?A.Lonely | B.Simple | C.Disappointed | D.Comfortable | 小题4:Which of the following statements is TRUE?A.The author will come back soon. | B.The author has decided to settle at Shanti Bhavan. | C.The author once felt uneasy at Shanti Bhavan. | D.The author was forced to come to Shanti Bhavan at first. |
