陕西省榆林二中2018-2019学年高一下学期英语期末考试试卷
Lots of people give you advice on overcoming (克服) fear. However, I want to tell you that a world without fear would be more dangerous, less rewarding. So we want to treat fear as a friend?Here are three reasons.
Think about it. Do you get more nervous when you meet the girl (or guy) of your dreams?Which is more fearful, talking to the boss of your company or to some of your friends? If you didn't have fear to guide you, you might not know that! Not so bad, right?
Next, fear encourages us to take action. Fear is a call to action. In the past, our ancestors (祖先) didn't run away in fear when they saw a tiger running toward them but tried to kill it for food. Now, most of us don't face serious danger like hungry tigers every day, but we do face serious bosses or public speaking. So, what can we do?
Lastly, fear lets you know you are alive. Why do we like roller coasters (过山车)? Same for horror movies.
So fear can guide you towards what's important for you and encourage you to take action to improve. Don't we all need that kind of friend?
A. Don't fear to be wrong.
B. It frightens us in a mostly safe way.
C. Imagine what life would be like without fear.
D. The first is that fear is an excellent guide to opportunity.
E. They say if you can overcome fear, you will be successful.
F. Let fear provide us with the energy to do what needs to be done.
G. Fear is showing you what is important and what matters to you.
