Fear and its companion pain are two of the most useful things that men and animals possess if they are properly used. If fire did not hurt when it burnt, children would play it until their hands were burnt away. Similarly, if pain existed but fear did not, a child would burn itself again and again, because fear would not warn the child to keep away from the fire that had burnt him or her before. A really fearless soldier—and some do exist—is not a good soldier because he is soon killed; and a dead soldier is of no use to his army. Fear and pain are therefore two guards without which men and animals might soon die out.
In our first sentence we suggested that fear ought to be properly used. If, for example, you never go out of your house because of the danger of being knocked down and killed in the street by a car, you are letting fear rule you too much. Even in your house you are not absolutely safe: a plane may crash on your house, or ants may eat away some of the wood in your roof , and they later may fall on you , or you may get cancer!
The important thing is not to let fear rule you , but instead to use fear as your servant and guide. Fear will warn you of dangers; then you have to decide what action to take.
In many cases, you can take quick and successful action to avoid the danger. For example, you see a car coming straight towards you; fear warns you, you jump out of the way, and all is OK.
In some cases, however, you decide that there is nothing that you can do to avoid the danger. For example, you cannot prevent a plane from crashing into your house, and you may not want to go and live in a desert where there are no plants. In this case , fear has given you its warning; you have examined it and decided on your course of action, so fear of this particular danger is no longer of any use to you , and you have to try to overcome it.
1.Children would play with fire until their hands were burnt away if ________.
A.they were given no warning beforehand B.they didn't have any sense of pain at all
C.they had never burnt themselves D.they felt afraid of the fire
2.A really fearless soldier ________.
A.is of a little use to his army B.is not afraid of battles at all
C.is nothing but a dead soldier D.is easy to get killed in a battle
3.People sometimes succeed in timely avoiding dangers because ________.
A.they are warned of the danger and take quick action
B.they are quick both in mind and in action
C.they are calm in face of danger
D.they have gained much experience
4.It is implied but not stated that ________.
A.fear is always something helpful
B.too much fear is harmful
C.fear should be used as a servant and guide
D.fear is something strange and particular

Most of the boys want to be explorers, and the two brothers are among them. For Ollbie and Harry, life is an adventure. For the past several years, the brothers have been working to _______ a list of 500 challenges and experiences.
"The idea came about actually from the boys," their father, MacNeill Ferguson, said. "The boys were just asked one day if they could come up with some cool things for us to do as a family. They _______ some impossible ideas firstly, like going on a trip to Mars, International Sausage Day and all kinds of _______ kids' requests. They built the list to a hundred, then kept finding new things they wanted to go and try... until it got up to 500." They're all listed on the brothers' Facebook page.
So far, they have built an igloo (圆顶小屋),explored the wilderness, and sent their Lego men to the depths of the ocean and into outer space. Perhaps their biggest adventure is playing out right now on the high seas. Last year, Ollbie and Harry's "Adventure", one of their toy ships _______ from the Scottish coast. It sailed across the North Sea to Scandinavia. It then began a ride on a Norwegian boat and was launched again. _______, they had equipped the toy ship with a tracking device (跟踪器). It allowed the brothers to know every step of the sailing well. But the battery on the tracking device is becoming weak, so Harry and Ollbie hope a passing ship notice their boat and is able to recharge (充电) its battery, allowing the trip to continue.
"I want it to go to Australia because that would be halfway around the world, and there's lots of beaches there," Ollbie said.
"Harry, where would you like the boat to go?" Ferguson asked. Without any _______, Harry replied, "that would be China because we all love China." He thought that even there were so many difficulties the boat would reach China.
1.A.check B.choose C.complete D.write
