1 Jack's problem is solved by a carpenter. He told Jack to cut the legs off the bed.

And then Jack as 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 until

you gained a better understanding of it. As a result, your fear began to 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.

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.

2 No, 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.

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

forcibly

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.

Because

Jason

had

already

conquered

his

inner

fear

of

water

and

he

also

felt

relieved and delighted when he saw the boy was hugged tightly by his mother.

Critical thinking

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;

?

other 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

be

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 be

cares about her.

Obsessive

fear

leads

to

anxiety,

panic

attacks

and

a

variety

of

psychological

problems. We all know what it's like to feel overwhelmed by fear, 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 is necessary in developing our courage. We can't experience courage

without

the

presence

of

fear.

another in order to exist---like darkness and light, or black and white.
