Choosing to be scared can be fun. Dr Margee Kerr, a sociologist, explained the science of fear(恐惧). Some people like to be scared because they like the way their body changes, she says. Being scared is not always fun. When a balloon pops, we may jump. Our heart beats faster and harder. How does the body have the reactions? When we meet something startling, our brain and body start making changes to help prepare us for the unknown, Dr. Kerr explains, These changes are caused by the senses(感官), which always send information to the brain. It gives out chemicals into the bloodstream, and those chemicals act on different parts of the body. At the same time, the brain decides whether or not the danger is real.Fear is a tool that the brain uses to keep the body safe. It helps a person to hide, run away, or protect oneself. Our memories also help protect us. As we grow, we learn whats unsafe, and our brains keep those memories. Then our brains use fear to warn us of dangers. Dr. Kerr says, . However, too much fear can be harmful because experiences can lead to long-lasting fears that may stop a person from trying new things. A long-lasting fear can mean youve had a bad experience, and your brain doesnt want you to have it again. Many people have beat their own fears. Instead of listening to their imagination, they learn the facts about anything that seems scary. Knowledge can help a person feel less afraid. Dr. Kerr grew up on a farm. She was scared of black bears in the woods before. She says, After I read a lot about them, I knew for sure what to do if I ever met a bear and how to protect myself.（1）The underlined word startling in Paragraph2 probably means_. A . surprisingB . tiringC . boringD . interesting（2）Which is most likely to be put in the blank ? A . We feel a little excited when we watch a scary movie.B . Its good to have a healthy sense of whats dangerousC . Understanding the facts gives me a sense of confidenceD . Being afraid doesnt mean youre weak.（3）How is the passage organized? A . B . C . D . （4）The passage above may be taken from _. A . a dictionaryB . a guide bookC . a playD . a magazine5. （8分）根据短文内容，完成下列各题。1题为判断正误;2题完成句子; 3-4题简略回答问题.Several Asian hospitals are doing experiments with tele-medicine.

Chinese University of Hong Kongs medical school has joined a big hospital in Beijing, and Thailand is building a tele-medicine station connecting 20 areas.Tele-medicine will do good to patients because doctors from different places can see them and give their medical advice.
