Fears are something we all have. You need to face your fears and to get over them. However, it's easier said than d{#blank#}1{#/blank#}. Running away from your fears doesn't make them leave. It just makes them b{#blank#}2{#/blank#} than ever. We're never going to be completely fearless of everything we do, but we can at l{#blank#}3{#/blank#} be more fearless and confident.

    What are the fears that scare(吓唬) you much? Check w{#blank#}4{#/blank#} they are and get them out in the open. Are they things like height or snakes? Are you a{#blank#}5{#/blank#} to talk to girls or boys? Are you so shy that you are fearing to say the wrong things? These are common fears that i{#blank#}6{#/blank#} your daily lives.

    Before you can f{#blank#}7{#/blank#} them, you need to learn more about what makes you fearful of these situations. Communicating your fear is one way. Other people may be able to realize your anxiety(焦虑) b{#blank#}8{#/blank#} they know something you don't.It could be from past experience, something that you could never forget and has made you fearful since then.

    To face fears, you have to believe in something. It's a very healthy way of letting you feel as if nothing can go w{#blank#}9{#/blank#}. When you feel that way, you may be able to think differently about your f{#blank#}10{#/blank#}. You will be able to believe that everything will be okay. Everything does end up being okay.

    Erin and Amy are best friends. Last month, they both had two weeks off（不工作）. But they didn't know where to go for their holiday. After a long {#blank#}1{#/blank#} （讨论）, they finally decided to travel to California. They are both {#blank#}2{#/blank#} （大自然的）world lovers, so they visited Redwood

    Forests first. "The {#blank#}3{#/blank#} （天空）here is so blue and the redwoods are the tallest in the world.

    Some are big enough around to drive a car {#blank#}4{#/blank#} （穿过）. They are really a great wonder," Erin said. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} （在……之后）visiting Redwood Forests, they went to Los Angeles. First, they took a real studio tour. There they learned how movies were made. Then they went to see the {#blank#}6{#/blank#} （指示牌）"HOLLYWOOD". In fact, it can be seen from many places around Los Angeles.

    People all want to see the actors' home if they go to Los Angeles. If they are {#blank#}7{#/blank#} （幸运的） enough, they might get some autographs（亲笔签名）and even some photos of them standing

    {#blank#}8{#/blank#} （在……旁边）a movie star. Unluckily, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} （虽然）the guide took them on a tour past some actors' home and they {#blank#}10{#/blank#} （逗留）there for a long time, they didn't see any movie stars.

    On the way back home, Amy said sadly, "Maybe the movie stars don't live there at all."
