You may have been told before not to be afraid of anything. Fear is often associated with weakness. Fear is something to be avoided.

But that's not true, according to Time For Kids magazine. Fear can be good for us.

Fear tells us about danger. Without fear, we wouldn't know to run away from a tiger or step back from a cliff.

In a study published in the Justice Quarterly journal in August, researchers from Michigan State University said that a healthy fear of crime keeps teenagers away from potentially dangerous people, places and activities.

Fear makes us jump, scream and sweat. But interestingly, sometimes we make ourselves feel fear on purpose. Think about scary books and movies, and also the long lines for a scary roller coaster ride.

Margee Kerr, a US sociologist, explained why to Time For Kids.

Fear fills our brain with healthy chemical substances, especially endorphins and dopamine, and these things create feelings of happiness and excite us, according to Kerr.

In addition, when you're scared, your body produces a chemical which helps people bond with each other.

"Watch people walking out of a haunted house, and you'll see lots of smiles and high fives," Kerr told Time For Kids. That also explains why schools and companies organize challenging trips and physical activities to build up team spirit.

People experience and deal with fear in different ways. If you happen to be a “coward” who gets scared easily, don't worry. There is some evidence that being scared can help a person manage stressful situations. Kerr said that things like giving a presentation in front of your class or performing in a school play help build a sort of endurance to fear that makes us more confident.

“You become more comfortable with the physical experience of fear, and so you are better able to work through it during tense situations,” said Kerr.

So learn to love your fear. It only grows when we forget how helpful our fear is trying to be.

1.What is the article mainly about?

A.The benefits fear brings us. B.Different ways to deal with fear.

C.People's misunderstandings about fear. D.A new study about fear.

2.Why is a scary roller coaster ride helpful to people according to the article?

A.It improves people's ability to survive in the world.

B.It makes people less cowardly and more confident in life.

C.It teaches people how to keep away from things that could be dangerous.

D.It causes the brain to produce chemicals that make people happy and excited.

3.The underlined phrase “bond with” in Paragraph 8 is closest in meaning to　 _________.

A.pay attention to B.fight against

C.get closer to D.be more careful with

4.What is the right attitude toward fear according to the article?

A.Learn to enjoy healthy fear.

B.Experience it as often as possible.

C.Consider it as a sign of weakness.

D.Avoid being involved in scary situations.

Of late, the Chinese media have turned the spotlight on a woman named Li Ziqi, praising her for doing an excellent job of "telling China's story to the world". Li seems to have become an unofficial cultural ambassador showcasing China's history and culture.

Li, 29, lives with her grandma in a small village of Mianyang. She has been posting videos of her daily life on social media platforms since March 2016 to connect to the world.

Her popularity online can be proved from these figures: on YouTube, Li's "channel" has more than 7.61 million subscribers, and the figure is growing daily. On Sina Weibo, one of China's most popular social media platforms, she has more than 21.5 million fans. And each of her 104 YouTube posts has been viewed between 2 million and over 40 million times.

Technically, the fine quality of her cinematographic output is the most eye-catching feature. The stunning scenery of Li's village, her elegant yet confident way of getting jobs done, and the relaxing background music are all appealing to viewers. Culturally, what touches the heart of L's followers is the universal language of love, inner peace, caring for the family and love for nature. Many viewers find inspiration from Li's posts. Others , tired of their technology driven fast paced urban life, find comfort in her simple and tranquil life.

Ironically, Li has not been as well received at home as overseas. Some critics question whether she alone filmed and edited her early posts. A few even accuse her of showcasing the "backwardness" of China to foreigners, while some argue that her presentation of rural China is imaginary. And recently, a debate has started on whether or not Li is "exporting" Chinese culture abroad.

But the fact that Li single-handedly produced her early works has been documented and publicized And she cannot be blamed for having a small crew now that her filming and editing work has increased. As for "exporting culture", Li has never claimed the responsibility of spreading Chinese culture to the world. What she does instead is merely recording and presenting her lifestyle to make a living.

Li's popularity makes us reflect on what should be an effective way of "telling China's story" to the world and changing the stereotype image of China described in some Western media.

1.What's the purpose of the figures listed in paragraph 3?

A.To suggest that Li is more popular on Sina Weibo than on YouTube.

B.To show that Li is liked by a large number of netizens.

C.To explain why Li is praised by the Chinese media.

D.To persuade more netizens to subscribe Li's "channel" .

2.What does the underlined word "tranquil" in paragraph 4 probably mean?

A.Complex. B.Tiring.

C.Peaceful. D.Touching.

3.Why does Li post her videos online?

A.To make a living. B.To export Chinese culture abroad.

C.To improve her skills in producing videos. D.To show her love for her grandma.

4.What might the author talk about next?

A.Effective ways to become an online celebrity. B.Possible reasons of Li's popularity.

C.Stereotype images of China in some media abroad. D.Useful methods to export culture.

We’re often reminded of the importance of preserving the planet as we see it for future generations—and children at St Oswald’s Primary School in Chester certainly agree.

Nine-year-old Isobel Kelleher from the school’s Hummingbirds class thinks adults need to take note.“Sometimes they can be busy and I don’t think they think they can make a difference，but if everyone does a little bit it all adds up，”she tells HuffPost UK.“We started looking at plastic pollution in our oceans and the things like plastic bags and broken down pieces of plastic that are polluting them.”she says.“Fish can eat the plastic and they can die，or we might even eat the fish ourselves.”

Mr Timms，Isobel’s teacher，has been spearheading a new project at the school which lets children loose creatively to raise awareness of the need to be more environmentally friendly.The entire Hummingbirds class，which is made up of 9 and 10-year-old pupils，has been busy writing poems and creating online video adverts to warn adults about the serious situation of our oceans and wildlife.

Mr Timms thinks children have an important role to play in teaching us how to take care of the things around us.“We sometimes overlook how much we can really learn from children.”he says.“It has been really hard to believe having parents come in saying that their children have been asking them to stop using plastic，and to recycle more，and even stopping them using plastic straws.”

Mr Timms is proud of his Hummingbirds class.“The message that they would like to send to the world is simple:stopping this isn’t someone else’s job，and it won’t be OK if we just leave it.”

A. They just pretend to be busy.

B. They haven’t done their part well.

C. They can do nothing to stop pollution.

2.What is the purpose of the school project?

A. To help adults to learn more about their kids.

B. To remind adults to be friendly to environment.

C. To persuade students to stop using plastic bags.

D. To teach students how to write poems creatively.

3.Why does Mr Timms mention“parents”in Paragraph 4?

A. To prove kids are creative in teaching.

B. To attract people to support his work.

C. To have adults care about education.

D. To show the effects of the project.
