I was only a four-year-old girl at the time, but I still understood the sudden shift in my moms attitude towards safety. Suddenly everything around us was potentially dangerous. Overnight, the world had gone from a playground to a dangerous zone. I grew up with a lot of limits and rules. I couldnt walk home from school by myself, even though everyone I knew already did. I couldnt go to summer camp because what if something happened to me?As I got older, the list of things of fear got longer. My whole life was divided into “things you should avoid, and “things you needed to do in order to have a good, long life. I became a natural worrier. I worry about things like getting cancer, losing my wallet, car accidents, earthquakes, and losing my job disasters big and small, real and imagined.The funny part is that youd never know it by looking at my life. In fact, Ive developed a rule for myself: If it scares me, then I have to do it at least once. Ive done lots of things that my mom would have worried about: Ive ridden a motorcycle; Ive traveled a lot. Ive performed stand-up comedy, and Im planning my second wedding. Theres something else I dont usually talk about, but its a cornerstone in my belief: When I was 14, my mother died suddenly in a car accident. At my moms funeral I remember making a choice. I could either live out the rest of my life trying to be “safe or I could be brave enough to live out a fulfilling, exciting and, yes, sometimes dangerous life.I worry that I may have betrayed(背叛) my mother by writing her in this light, but she has been a driving force in my life and, in the end I think she would have been proud of me. Courage isnt a natural character of human beings. I believe that using courage is like developing a muscle. The more often I do things that scare me or that make me uncomfortable, the more I realize that I can do a lot more than I originally thought I could do.Even though I inherited (继承) my mothers cautious nature. Ive also come to believe that fear can be a good thing, if we face it. Believing that has made my world a less scary place. 51.

How does the writer deal with the things that frighten her?A. She just ignores them.B. She faces up to them.C. She turns to her mother for help.D. She does them with her friends.53. From the passage, we can learn that _.A. the writer failed in her first marriageB. nothing can make the writer afraid nowC. frightening things made the writer lose her self-confidenceD. the writers mother felt annoyed with her54. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Mothers influence their children much.B. Fear is in fact not a bad thing.C. Facing fear bravely produces courage.D.

We can lose a kidney or a lung, an arm or two and still live perfectly well. But some fish put us to shame. They can get by without stomachs. One such fish is the stout longtom. The group it belongs to carries a more appropriate name: the needlefish. All needlefish lack stomachs. Their ancestors had them, but later they were lost.The stout longtom can reach 1.3 meters in length, and lives near the sea surface. Like all needlefish, it can jump out of the water to escape its enemies. Tropical fishermen are sometimes injured by needlefish. In 1977, a 10-year-old Hawaiian boy was killed when a needlefish jumped through his brain. The longtom eats smaller fish. It teeth are not good at cutting fish into pieces, so it swallows fish whole.Ryan Day from Australia and his colleagues wanted to know how the longtom digests its meaty meals without a stomach, so they ran some chemical tests about the fish.Days results show that the longtom can consume food without the help of a stomach. It uses a special material called trypsin that can break down proteins without acid although the approach is less efficient than using a stomach.Because its a meat-eating animal, the longtom gets a lot of protein in its food, so it can afford this slightly less efficient system for absorbing it. Two plant-eating fish that Day studies actually had higher levels of trypsin in their body, as their food was low in protein.Day thinks that the longtom and its stomachless relatives might actually have arrived at an energy-saving solution. He says that although the stomach is critical to many kinds of animal, the organ is “a fairly expensive organ to run. This perhaps explains why some animals have got rid of theirs. 59.
