16、rs, screaming but enjoying themselves. Other people like to read goose bumps (鸡皮疙瘩) books or watch horror movies at night, scared to death but feeling excited. Why do people like being scared? Fear is an ancient way of surviving. Being scared makes animals, including humans escape from danger and sa

17、ve themselves. It is because of fear that we have lived through millions of years of evolution. Those who lacked a strong fear response were more likely to be killed, leaving the more fearful and careful to pass their genes onto the next generation. How do scientists explain why shaking over such sc

18、ary things is fun? Some kids will go to a scary movie and love it and laugh over it, others will feel anxious and hide their faces and some wont even set foot in the cinema, said Ned Kalin, a US scientist. Which kind of person you are depends partly on experiences youve had and partly on your genes.

19、 What happens in the brain when something frightens you? Nerves that begin at the eyes and ears lead to a part of the brain called the amygdale. When you suddenly see a snake, for example, the amygdale makes you freeze, sweat, have a quickened heartbeat, or run very fast. However, seeing the snake a

20、lso uses another part of the brain, the cortex. It analyzes the situation, and if it finds that the snake is only made of rubber it tells your heart and the rest of your body to calm down. Think of the amygdale as the engine and the cortex as the brake. Back to the first question: Why do some people

21、 like to make themselves scared? One reason is that we can play games with fear, find ways to reduce the scariness by looking away or thinking of something else, Kalin said. To believe we have control over a situation gives us a feeling of power. Scary movies or novels are good practice to prepare y

22、oung people for the real thing. Thrills such as roller coaster rides also go to the brains pleasure centre. And there might be some evolutionary advantage to being able to adjust this system that isthere to protect people.36. Some people like to be scared because _. A. they are afraid that the fear

23、genes will be passed onto their children B. its a good practice to get prepared for the real frightening situation C. it can help them show their own personalities D. they will feel powerful after getting rid of fear37.

They lack a strong response towards threat.38. What is the best title of the passage? A. Ready to scream? B. How to be scared? C. Willing to

25、 shake? D. Why to be scared?BBeauty has always been regarded as something praiseworthy. Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier, have better marriages and more respectable jobs. Personal advisor give them better advice for finding jobs. Even judges are softer on attractive

26、 defendants, but in the executive（行政） circle, beauty can become a liability. While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder, it is harmful to a woman. Handsome male executives were considered as having more honesty than plainer ones; their success was connecte

27、d not with ability but with factors such as luck. All unattractive women executives were thought to have more honesty and to be more capable than the attractive female executives. Interestingly, though, the rise of the unattractive overnight successes was connected more to personal relationships and

28、 less to ability than that of the attractive overnight successes. Why are attractive women not thought to be able? An attractive woman is considered to be more womanly and an attractive man more manly than the less attractive ones. Thus, an attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally female j

29、obs, but an attractive woman in a traditionally manly position appears to lack the manly qualities required. This is true even in politics. When the only clue is how he or she looks, people treat men and women differently, says Anne Bowman, who recently published a study on the effects of attractive

30、ness on political candidates. She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs, one of men and one of women, in order of attractiveness.
