33、e, At all ages and at all stages of life,fear presents a problem to almost everyone. We are largely the playthings of ourfears, wrote the British author Horace Walpole many years ago. To one, fear ofthe dark; to another, of physical pain; to a third, of public ridicule; to a fourth,of poverty; to a

34、fifth, of loneliness-for all of us our particular creature waitsin a hidden place.Fear is often a useful emotion. When you become frightened, many physical changesoccur within your body. Your heartbeat and responses quicken; your pupils expandto admit more light; large quantities of energy-producing

35、 adrenaline (肾上激素) arepoured into your bloodstream. Confronted with a fire or accident, fear can fuellife-saving flight (逃离). Similarly, when a danger is psychological rather thanphysical, fear can force you to take self-protective measures. It is only when fearis disproportional to the danger at ha

36、nd that it becomes a problem.Some people are simply more vulnerable to fear than others. A visit to the newbornnursery of any large hospital will demonstrate that, from the moment of their births,a few fortunate infants respond calmly to sudden fear-producing situations such asa loudly slammed door.

37、 Yet a neighbor in the next bed may cry out with profound fright.From birth, he or she is more prone to learn fearful responses because he or shehas inherited a tendency to be more sensitive.Further, psychologists know that our early experiences and relationships stronglyshape and determine our late

38、r fears. A young man named Bill, for example, grew upwith a father who regarded each adversity as a temporary obstacle to be overcomewith imagination and courage. Using his father as a model, Bill came to welcomeadventure and to trust his own ability to solve problem.Phils dad, however, spent most o

39、f his time trying to protect himself and hisfamily. Afraid to risk the insecurity of a job change, he remained unhappy in oneposition. He avoided long vacations because the car might break down. Growing upin such a home, Phil naturally learned to become fearful and tense.56. In the last sentence of
