1 Jack’s problem is solved by a carpenter. He told Jack to cut the legs off the bed. And then Jack was certain that nobody was sleeping under it when he got into bed. 
2 The answer is open-ended. For example, you might have the fear of darkness, the fear of heights, the fear of snakes or spiders, the fear of flying, etc. Some suggestions on how to overcome fears are listed below for reference. First, you analyzed your fear and had a clear picture of what your fear was. Then you took control of your fear. You decided to expose yourself to that fear in small doses doses until until until you you you gained gained gained a a a better better better understanding understanding understanding of of of it. it. it. As As As a a a result, result, result, your your your fear fear fear began began began to to to disappear. disappear. 
Finally, you successfully changed the way you thought about your fear. You started seeing fear as a source of energy and embraced its role in your life. 
Scripts: 
Jack went to a doctor. “Doctor,” he said, “I’ve got trouble. Every time I lie in bed, I think there’s somebody under it. I get under the bed; then I think there’s somebody on top of it. Top, under, top, under. You’ve got to help me! It almost drives me mad!”
“Just put yourself in my hands for two years,” said the doctor. “Come to me three times a week, and I’ll cure your fears.”
“How m
uch do you charge?”“A hundred dollars a visit.”
“I’ll think about it,” said Jack.
Six months later the doctor met Jack by chance. 
“Why didn’t you ever come to see me again?” asked the doctor.
“For a hundred bucks a visit? A carpenter cured me for 10 doll
ars.”“Is that so? How?”
“He told me to cut the legs off the bed!”

1 Because when he once hopped from the highest diving board at the pool, he hit the water with an incredible impact and blacked out.

they couldn’t. Because with the water’s tow, they’d never get to the drowning boy. 3 Because nobody except Jason saw that going out onto the jetty, which was close to the boy, was the fastest way to reach the drowning boy. 
4 Because his fear of water suddenly struck him. 
5 He felt like he was back in that pool, breathless, struggling, terrified. 
6 The boy popped back up, eyes wide with terror, pawing and twisting against Jason. 
7 No, it wasn’t. At first when Jason swam against the rip current, it was for cibly dragging them out to the sea. Then he decided to swim sideways to the pull of the current and slowly made their 
way back to shore. Finally he made his way back to safety.

Critical thinking 
2 1 To overcome the inner fear of water, we need to: 
• conquer ourselves with courage by helping others, step up and face our fear; 
• practice controlled breathing and alternately tense and relax muscle groups to bring into 
physical awareness the differences between being tense and being relaxed; 
• make the victim stop struggling. In this way he / she can be pulled to safety. 
2 The fears may come from: 
• our own past experience; 
• ther people’s fears we witness;
• someone’s description about their fears;
• influence of specific cultural and historical context. 
3 To get a guy to ask a girl out, try giving him some pointers and ideas on how to approach the situation with confidence: 
• Tell the guy to ask a girl on a casual date and see where it goes from there. Explain to him 
that asking a girl out face-to-face can be most appropriate, as it will show her how serious he is. However, if he thinks that is too daring, then suggest sending her a text message or calling her on the phone. 
• encourage the guy to be assertive and not beat around the bush. Confidence is admirable, 
and a girl is more likely to be attracted to a man with confidence. If he is asking the girl in person, he should speak as though he knew she would say yes. Tell him not to hesitate and to get straight to the point. 
• suggest that the guy give the girl some choices as to where to go on a date. If he is unsure of what activities or restaurants she enjoys most, this is a great opportunity for him to learn more about her and show her that he cares about her. 
4 Obsessive fear leads to anxiety, panic attacks and a variety of psychological problems. We all 
know what it’s like to feel overwhelmed by fea r, but fear, as it turns out, is a fundamental part of 
our lives, and has some positive effects on our lives: 
• Fear increases and enhances our sensory awareness of the environment, so that we can be prepared to protect ourselves from anything potentially threatening or harmful. 
• Fear is an invitation to act. Fear is there to warn us that we need to get ready for the future. It isn’t there to stop us; it’s there to tell us that we are about to grow.
• Fear pushes us beyond our limits. Fear motivates us. It drives us to find new resources 
and options within ourselves. Fear compels us to make extra efforts to succeed and achieve what we desire. 
• Fear Fear is

A young and successful executive was traveling down a neighborhood street, going a bit too fast in his new Jaguar. He was watching for kids darting out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something. As his car passed, no children appeared. Instead, a brick smashed into the car’s side door! He slammed on the brakes and drove the Jag back to the spot 
then jumped out of the car, grabbed the where the brick had been thrown. The angry executive 
nearest kid and pushed him up against a parked car, shouting, 
“What was that all about and who 
are you? Just what the heck are you doing? That’s a new car and that brick you threw is going to 
cost a lot of money. 
Why did you do it?”
The young boy was apologetic. “Please mister ... please, I’m sorry ... I didn’t know what else to do,” he pleaded. “I threw the brick because no one else would stop ...”
With tears dripping down his face and off his chin, the boy pointed to a spot just around a parked car. “It’s my brother,” he said. “He rolled off the curb and fell out of the wheelchair, and I can’t lift him up.” 
Now sobbing, the boy asked the stunned executive, “Would you please help me get him 
back into his wheelchair? He’s hurt and he’s too heavy for me.”
Moved beyond words, the driver tried to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat. He He hurriedly hurriedly hurriedly lifted lifted lifted the the the handicapped handicapped handicapped boy boy boy back back back into into into the the the wheelchair, wheelchair, wheelchair, then then then took took took out out out his his his fancy fancy handkerchief handkerchief and and and gently gently gently cleaned cleaned cleaned the the the boy’s boy’s fresh scrapes scrapes and and and cuts. cuts. cuts. A A A quick quick quick look look look told told told him him everything was going to be OK. 
“Thank you and may God bless you,” the grateful child told the executive.

2 Apart from love, I believe, there are many other factors that can help us cope with challenges in life. Some of them are listed as follows: • Confidence may strengthen our determination to handle any difficulties we are confronted with. 
• A sense of purpose in our life is critical when we feel lost under the great pressure of 
troubles. 
• A strong social network is also useful. Maybe our problems could be easily solved by the joint efforts from our social network composed of relatives, friends, colleagues, etc. 
• Optimism can always make us filled with hope, helping us muster courage when we are

Objectives 
• Help students to conquer the fear of delivering a public speech. 
• Improve students’ performance in conducting an interview. 
• Develop students’ ability and skills in writing a report. 
Teaching steps 
Step 1: Explain in class what the interview is for and how it can be conducted. 
Divide the whole class into groups. It is important for each group to vote for a speaker who will note down the difficulties students have in delivering a public speech. Students are encouraged to do this by talking openly with each other. 
Step Step 2: 2: 2: Ask Ask Ask students students students to to to interview interview interview two two two or or or three three three senior senior senior students students students who who who excel excel excel in in in delivering delivering delivering public public speeches. speeches. Students Students Students should should should prepare prepare prepare their their their own own own interview interview interview questions questions questions carefully carefully carefully and and and try try try to to to derive derive derive the the information they really need from their interviews. 
Step 3: Have students summarize the strategies or suggestions they collected from the interview and prepare a report, including: 
• Difficulties college students usually have in giving a public speech 
• The interview: 
√ Who they interviewed; 
√ Questions they asked; 
√ Advice their subjects gave; 
√ Their suggestions on giving a public speech. 
Step 4: Ask the speaker of each group to present their report orally in the next class. From the 
reports, the students may then even form a larger picture about how one can conquer the fear of 
delivering a public speech. 
Again, it is essential that the teacher give clear instructions to students, especially about what 
they should do after this class and before the next class. 。
