I took the bus straight to Aunt Dolly’s house. She had an answer for32 , more than anyone else, she would understand that my world had been turned upside down by this terrible revelation(意外的发现).Aunt Dolly 33 me cookies and milk.“What will I do?” I sobbed. “If I don’t sing, God will think I don’t love him.”She drummed her fingers on the kitchen table as her brow creased(皱) in thought. Finally her eyes grew 34 . “I’ve got it!” she said. “I will wear my hat!”Noticing that I felt very puzzled. She leveled her brown eyes on my face. Her 35 dropped. “Jacquelyn, I’m about to tell you a bit of secret information about angels, but first you must promise that you will never tell anyone.”“I promise,” I whispered.“A simple piece of aluminum foil(铝箔)can work,” said she, “You mouth the words, your silent 36 reflect off the foil. Angels capture(捕获) the words and put them in special pouches（袋子）they 37 up to God and God will hear your beautiful voice.”“Well, where will I hide the foil?”“My hat!” said Aunt Dolly. “I’ll hide it in my hat. I’ll sit in the front row. Remember, not a single word to anyone.”I had a 38 voice during the unforgettable Christmas perform.

My silent singing was for God’s 39 alone.Even now, when my world is turned upside down, I think of Aunt Dolly and remember that my childhood beliefs still hold true.

To get your creative juices flowing, here are two of our regular photographers’ tips for taking great pictures.Pal HansenThe most important thing is to carry a camera around with you at all times. Use manual（手动的）settings as much as possible. Now that everything is digital, I’d also say, “Shoot as much as possible,” because it does n’t cost anything. Michelle McCarronKids find wonder in the simplest things, so as a photographer it helps to be ready for those moments. The connection across generations is sometimes best captured in a photograph. Frame your subject well. Get close to the action, or your subject, and choose your angle carefully. A slightly odd angle can make a photo different.HOW TO ENTER★Take a clear photo with either a phone or digital camera. Send it to rdphotocomp@readersdigest. by 5 pm,August 30, 2015.

Fear is often associated with weakness. Fear is something to be avoided.But that’s not true, according to Time For Kids magazine. Fear can be good for us.Fear tells us about danger. Without fear, we wouldn’t know to run away from a tiger or step back from a cliff (悬崖).In a study published in the Justice Quarterly journal in August, researchers from Michigan State University said that ahealthy fear of crime keeps teenagers away from potentially dangerous people, places, and activities.Fear makes us jump, scream and sweat. But interestingly, sometimes we make ourselves feel fear on purpose. Think about scary（可怕的）books and movies, and also the long lines for a scary roller coaster ride.Margee Kerr, a US sociologist, explained why to Time For Kids.Fear fills our brain with healthy chemical substances (化学物质), especially endorphins (内啡肽) and dopamine (多巴胺), and these things create feelings of happiness and excite us, according to Kerr.In addition, when you’re scared, your body produces a chemical which helps people bond with each other.“Watch people walking out of a haunted house, and you’ll see lots of smiles and high fives,” Kerr t old Time For Kids. That also explains why schools and companies organize challenging trips and physical activities to build up team spirit.People experience and deal with fear in different ways. If you happen to be a “coward” who gets scared easily, don’t worry. There is some evidence that being scared can help a person manage stressful situations.Kerr said that things like giving a report in front of your class or performing in a school play help build a sort of endurance (忍耐力) to fear that makes us more confident.“You become more comfortable with the physical experience of fear, and so you’re better able to work through it during tense situations,” said Kerr.So learn to love your fear. It only grows when we forget how helpful our fear is trying to be.52. What is the passage mainly about?A. People’s misunderstandings about fear.B. Different ways to deal with fear.C. The benefits fear brings us.D. A new study about fear.53. Why is a scary roller coaster ride helpful to people according to the passage?A. It improves people’s ability to survive in the modern world.B. It makes people less cowardly and more confident in life.C. It causes the brain to produce chemicals that make people happy and excited.D. It teaches people how to keep away from things that could be dangerous.54. The underlined part “bond with” in Paragraph 8 probably means ______.A. get closer toB. fight againstC. pay attention toD. be more careful with55. What is the right attitude toward fear according to the passage?A. Avoid being involved in scary situations.B. Experience it as often as possible.C. Consider it as a sign of weakness.D. Enjoy healthy fear occasionally.七、阅读短文，根据短文内容，从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
