It’s always challenging to face fear. Here are some ways to help you overcome（克服）it.

Breathing

As we know, breathing can help us relax. If you purposely breathe out longer than you breathe in, your body will calm down. If you start to feel fearful, try this. Take a breath in (to a count of 7 in your mind), and then slowly breathe out (to a count of 11 in your mind). To your surprise, if you do this for a minute or so, you’ll calm down quickly. We call this "7/11 breathing".

Using a different part of your brain

When we feel fearful, it’s harder to think clearly. But if we force ourselves to use the part of thinking brain, this will help to calm us down. The easiest way to do this is with numbers. You can set your own fear from l to 10, 10 being the worst state and 1 being the most relaxed state. When you’re feeling fearful, ask yourself; “Okay, what grade do I get right now? 7 or 5?” Just doing this will reduce fear because it starts the thinking brain. Once I gave a speech to three hundred people and I felt fearful. So I graded myself at 6, and waited for myself to go down to 3 before starting. I took control.

Getting control of your imagination

Imagine seeing yourself in the situation you were scared, but see yourself being calm and things going well. Doing this starts to recondition your mind to more calmly face the coming events which were causing fear.

It seems that overcoming fear is always the first step to finish all you need to do and it will help you devote yourself to what you really want to be and to do. It takes efforts, but it’s worth your try.

【解析】

【分析】

本文是一篇說明文。面對恐懼總是具有挑戰*的，文章向我們介紹了克服恐懼的方法：呼吸法；使用大腦的不同部位；控制自己的想象力。

59．根據首段內容“Here are some ways to help you overcome（克服）it.”這裡it指代上文中的fear，表示“接下來會給出一些克服恐懼的方法”，即“如何克服恐懼”how to overcome fear。故填How。

60．根據原文內容“If you purposely breathe out longer than you breathe in, your body will calm down.” 如果你故意呼氣比吸氣時間長，你的身體就會平靜下來。可知為了冷靜下來，你可以呼氣比吸氣時間長。空後由than這裡要用副詞的比較級。故填longer。

61．根據原文內容“To your surprise, if you do this for a minute or so, you’ll calm down quickly. We call this 7/11 breathing” 可知你會很驚奇，如果你做7/11呼吸法，你會很快冷靜下來。主語是人，be動詞之後加形容詞作表語，surprised/amazed是同義詞，都意為“驚奇的”。故填surprised/amazed。

62．根據原文“You can set your own fear from l to 10, 10 being the worst state and 1 being the most relaxed state.” 你可以設立你自己的恐懼從1到10，10是最壞的狀態，1是最輕鬆的狀態，可知，你可以為自己的恐懼設立10個等級，level是可數名詞，意為“等級”，10後面加可數名詞複數形式。故填levels。

63．根據原文“Just doing this will reduce fear because it starts the thinking brain.”可知評估大腦狀態會幫助啟動大腦思考，減少恐懼。help do sth.意為“幫助某人做某事”，help後可接動詞原形作賓語，故填start。

64．根據原文“Just doing this will reduce fear because it starts the thinking brain.”做這個（評估自己的大腦狀態）會減少恐懼，因為它啟動大腦思考。“減少恐懼”也就是沒有那麼害怕。題幹中fearful是形容詞，其比較級可為less fearful。故填less。

65．根據“Imagine seeing yourself in the situation you were scared, but see yourself being calm and things going well.”可知，想象你自己處於一個糟糕的境況中，但是你自己很鎮靜，事情進展地不錯。situation是名詞，意為“情況，境況”。題幹中空前面有a，用名詞單數。故填situation。

66．根據原文“Doing this starts to recondition your mind to more calmly face the coming events which were causing fear.”可知當面臨即將到來的導致恐懼的事情時，控制你的想象力可以幫助你感覺更鎮靜。題幹中feel是系動詞，後加形容詞作表語。根據句意此空用到形容詞比較級。故填calmer。

67．根據最後一段“It seems that overcoming fear is always the first step to finish all you need to do and it will help you devote yourself to what you really want to be and to do.”可知為了完成你所有需要做的，首先要克服恐懼。故填first。

68．根據最後一段“It takes efforts, but it’s worth your try.”可知克服恐懼值得嘗試。be worth doing sth.意為“值得做某事”。故填trying。
