He told Jack to cut the legs off the bed. And then Jack as certain that nobody was sleeping under it when he got into bed.2 The answer is open-ended. For example, you might have the fear of darkness, the fear ofheights, the fear of snakes or spiders, the fear of flying, etc. Some suggestions on how to overcome fears are listed below for reference. First, you analyzed your fear and had a clear picture of what your fear was. Then you took control of your fear. You decided to expose yourself to that fear in small doses until you gained a better understanding of it. As a result, your fear began to disappear. Finally, you successfully changed the way you thought about your fear. You started seeing fear as a source of energy and embraced its role in your life. Scripts: Jack went to a doctor. "Doctor," he said, "I've got trouble. Every time I lie in bed, I think there's somebody under it. I get under the bed; then I think there's somebody on top of it. Top, under, top, under. You've got to help me! It almost drives me mad!" "Just put yourself in my hands for two years," said the doctor. "Come to me three times a week, and I'll cure your fears." "How much do you charge?" "A hundred dollars a visit." "I'll think about it," said Jack.Six months later the doctor met Jack by chance "Why didn't you ever come to see me again?" asked the doctor. "For a hundred bucks a visit? A carpenter cured me for 10 dollars.""Is that so? How?""He told me to cut the legs off the bed!" Reading comprehension Understanding the text11 Because when he once hopped from the highest diving board at the pool, he hit the water with an incredible impact and blacked out.2 No, they couldn't. Because with the water's tow, they'd never get to the drowning boy.3 Because nobody except Jason saw that going out onto the jetty, which was close to the boy, was the fastest way to reach the drowning boy.4 Because his fear of water suddenly struck him.5 He felt like he was back in that pool, breathless, struggling, terrified.6 The boy popped back up, eyes wide with terror, pawing and twisting against Jason.7 No, it wasn't. At first when Jason swam against the rip current, it was forcibly dragging them out to the sea. Then he decided to swim sideways to the pull of the current and slowly made their way back to shore. Finally he made his way back to safety.8 Because Jason had already conquered his inner fear of water and he also felt relieved and delighted when he saw the boy was hugged tightly by his mother.Critical thinking21 To overcome the inner fear of water, we need to:conquer ourselves with courage by helping others, step up and face our fear;practice controlled breathing and alternately tense and relax muscle groups to bring intophysical awareness the differences between being tense and being relaxed;make the victim stop struggling. In this way he / she can be pulled to safety.2 The fears may come from:our own past experience;other people's fears we witness;someone's description about their fears;influence of specific cultural and historical context.3 To get a guy to ask a girl out, try giving him some pointers and ideas on how to approach the situation with confidence:Tell the guy to ask a girl on a casual date and see where it goes from there. Explain tohim that asking a girl out face-to-face can be most appropriate, as it will show her howserious be is. However, if he thinks that is too daring, then suggest sending her a textmessage or calling her on the phone.Encourage the guy to be assertive and not beat around the bush. Confidence isadmirable, and a girl is more likely to be attracted to a man with confidence. If he isasking the girl in person, he should speak as though he knew she would say yes. Tellhim not to hesitate and to get straight to the point.Suggest that the guy give the girl some choices as to where to go on a date. If he isunsure of what activities or restaurants she enjoys most, this is a great opportunity forhim to learn more about her and show her that be cares about her.4 Obsessive fear leads to anxiety, panic attacks and a variety of psychological problems. We all know what it's like to feel overwhelmed by fear, but fear, as it turns out, is a fundamental part of our lives, and has some positive effects on our lives:Fear increasesand enhances our sensory awareness of the environment,so that we can be prepared to protect ourselves from anything potentially threatening or harmful.Fear is an invitation to act. Fear is there to warn us that we need to get ready for thefuture. It isn't there to stop us; it's there to tell us that we are about to grow.Fear pushes us beyond our limits. Fear motivates us. It drives us to find new resources and options within ourselves. Fear compels us to make extra efforts to succeed and achieve what we desire.Fear is necessary in developing our courage. We can't experience courage without thepresence of fear. They go hand in hand. They need one another in order to exist---likedarkness and light, or black and white.Language focusWords in use3I intervene 2 underestimate 3 recede 4 deem 5 bleak6 appraise7 paralyzed8 symptoms9 dismay 10 brinkWord building4Wordy learned New words formedancedominate dominanceavoid avoidancerely relianceacquaint acquaintanceclear clearanceannoy annoyanceadmit admittanceresemble resemblanceassure assrsrance-edbore boredprivilege privilegeddistract distracted51 bored2 privileged3 assurance4 dominance5 avoidance6 acquaintance7 reliance8 clearance9 distracted 10 annoyance11 admittance 12 resemblanceBanked cloze61 K2 D3 H4 J5 I6 O7 G8 A9 N 10 C Expressions in use7I pulled to a stop 2 black out 3 pop up 4 stopped short5 plowed through6 threw himself into7 let yourself go8 grabbed for Translation9美国梦是美利坚合众国的民族精神。
