In the first half hour，audiences(观众)constantly see the symbolic items(标志性物品)of the early 1990s,including pencil boxes and comic books．

①Some people like to be scared(受惊吓)! 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.
②Being 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."
③Fear 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 what's unsafe, and our brains keep those memories. Then our brains use fear to warn us of dangers. Dr. Kerr says, " ▲ ."
④However, too much fear can be harmful because experiences c an lead to long-lasting fears that may stop a person from trying new things. A long-lasting fear can mean you've had a bad experience, and your brain doesn't want you to have it again.
⑤Many 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 . surprising
B . tiring
C . boring
D . 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 . It's good to have a healthy sense of what's dangerous
C . Understanding the facts gives me a sense of confidence
D . Being afraid doesn't mean you're weak.
（3）How is the passage organized?
A .
B .
C .
D .
（4）The passage above may be taken from _______.
A . a dictionary
B . a guide book
C . a play
D . a magazine

Jake's Home Page Once upon a time, a personal diary was something you
kept hidden away. It was where you wrote down your most
private thoughts and feelings, knowing that no one else
would read it. Then along came the Internet, and now the
about me diary photos e—mail webcam home idea of a private diary seems old—fashioned.
Many teenagers like writing online diaries because they feel free to write anything. “In real life, you can't always say what you think,” says Jake, an eighteen—year—old from New York. “On the Internet, you can express yourself more freely.” Fans of Jake's site log on to find out what he's been up to. What he's wearing and how he feels. He gets around two hundred letters a day from people who read his online diary.

Jake doesn't agree. “Sometimes people are a bit rude,” he says, “but I just pay no attention to them. Most of the feedback（反馈）I get is pleasant and hopeful.” He goes on, “people reading other people's diaries is nothing new. My brothers used to secretly read my diary when we were kids. The only difference is this one is seen by a lot more people!”

（2）Why are online diaries popular among teenagers?
（3）What does the writer think of a private diary?
