     Sometimes people call each other “scared-cat”, but have you ever thought about this expression? When a cat is frightened, its heart starts beating faster, its muscles (肌肉) get tense, and there are changes in the chemicals in its blood-stream.

  Although the cat doesn’t  36   this, its body is getting ready for action. If the danger continues, this animal will do one of the two things. It will  37 itself, or it will run away as fast as it can.

   38 , when people are excited, angry, scared, or aroused by other emotions, our bodies also go through many 39  changes. Our hearts beat faster, and our muscles get tense. All of these changes make us more alert and ready to react. We, too, get ready to defend ourselves 40  run.

Have you ever said something in anger, or hit somebody and regretted it later? Have you ever shouted at a teacher, told someone you were lonely, or said you were in love, and then  43  later you had kept your mouth shut? It isn’t always 44  to express your feelings freely.

And if you opened the cupboard, you’d  51  little fruit flies hovering (盘旋) all over them. They’d be rotten.

   You can try to treat emotions  52  they were bananas in the cupboard. You can  53  they don’t exist, but they’ll still be  54  . And at last you’ll have to  55  them, just like those bananas.
