A Lucky DayCFear may be felt in the heart as well as in the head, according to a study that has found a link between the cycles of a beating heart and the chance of someone feeling fear. Tests on healthy volunteers found that th
30、ey were more likely to feel a sense of fear at the moment when their hearts are contracting (收缩) and pumping blood around their bodies, compared with the point when the heartbeat is relaxed. Scientists say the results suggest that the heart is able to influence how the brain responds to a fearful ev
31、ent, depending on which point it is at in its regular cycle of contraction and relaxation (舒张). Sarah Garfinkel at the Brighton and Sussex Medical School said: “Our study shows for the first time that the way in which we deal with fear is different depending on when we see fearful pictures in relati
32、on to our heart. The study tested 20 healthy volunteers on their reactions to fear as they were shown pictures of fearful faces. Dr. Garfinkel said, “The study showed that fearful faces are better noticed when the heart is pumping than when it is relaxed. Thus our hearts can also affect what we see
33、and what we dont seeand guide whether we see fear. ”To further understand this relationship, the scientists also used a brain scanner to show how the brain influences the way the heart changes a persons feeling of fear. “We have found an important mechanism by which the heart and brain speak to each
34、 other to change our feelings and reduce fear,” Dr. Garfinkel said. “We hope that by increasing our understanding about how fear is dealt with and ways that it could be reduced, we may be able to develop more successful treatments for anxiety disorders, and also for those who may be suffering from s
35、erious stress disorder. ”47. What is the finding of the study?A. Fear has something to do with ones health. B. Ones heart affects how he feels fear. C.

38、generous when it comes to educating their children. Not caring about the money, parents often send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England, the United States or Australia. They also want their children to take extra-course activities where they will either learn music or dance,
39、or other classes that will give them a head start in life. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is. So parents will spend an unreasonable amount of money on education. Even poor couples will buy a computer for their son or daughter. However, what most parents fa
40、il to see is that the best early education they can give their children is usually very cheap. Parents can see that their childrens skills are different, maybe good in some areas, but poor in others. Most parents fail to realize that todays children are in need of self-respect and self-confidence. T
41、he problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take tests and how to study well, but parents are not teaching them the most important skills they need to be confident, happy and clever. Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking, sewing and doing other
42、 housework. Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life. Cooking requires patience and time. It is an enjoyable but difficult experience. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job successfu
43、lly. His result, a well-cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and a lot of self-confidence. Some old machines, such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child to play with will make him curious and have interest. He will spend hours looking at them, trying to fix them; your child
44、might become an engineer when he grows up. These activities are not only teaching a child to read a book, but rather to think, to use his mind. And that is more important. 51.

45、bout their money when educating their children. C. Parents spend much money on the education without thinking. D. Parents seldom want their children to take extra-course activities. 52.
