Most workers attend so-called happy hours to bond with colleagues, although 15 percent go to hear the latest office gossip and 13 percent go because they feel necessary, said the survey conducted for CareerBuilder. com, an online job site. As to what happens when the after-work drinks flow, 16 percent reported bad-mouthing a colleague, 10 percent shared a secret about a colleague and 8 percent said they drank too much and acted unprofessionally. Five percent said they had shared a secret about the company, and 4 percent confessed to singing karaoke. While 21 percent of those who attended said happy hours were good for networking, 85 percent said attending had not helped them get closer to someone higher up or get a better position. An equal number of men and women said they attended happy hours with co-workers, with younger workers aged 25 to 34 most likely and workers over 55 least likely to attend. Overall, 21 percent of workers attend happy hours with co-workers and of those nearly a quarter go at least once a month.

But fear can also limit our lives significantly. While it may not be conscious, fear may make us think we are unacceptable or that what we have to offer isnt valuable. Fear may make us feel that we are not safe being ourselves.To avoid feeling fear, we may limit our lives greatly, living in tiny boxes. Living this way gives us the illusion(假象) of safety but leaves us with an unfulfilling life of no passion. If we shine a light on many of our fears, we see they have a very limited view of what is “safe” and how to “protect” us. Many of our fears are concerned only with protecting us from humiliation(羞辱) and failure. While these fears are doing their jobs incredibly well, they are doing so with faulty and outdated programming. Many fears we have as adults are trying to protect us as they protected us when we were children. Indeed, many of our current, automatic reactions to fear were actually formed when we were children.Even so, its important not to judge ourselves for feeling these types of fears. If we judge ourselves, we will bury our fears or disguise them. By denying our fears, however, we also deny our energy, creativity and passion.So what do we do with fear? We recognize the fear for what it is- a feeling weve experienced many times in the past and a feeling we will experience many times in the future. We become very familiar with our own particular brand of fears and how we allow them to control our lives. It is especially beneficial for each of us to become aware of the particular behavior patterns weve adopted when we feel fear, so we can look at our reactions with a sense of humor and compassion. Then, if we wish, we can choose a different response, which can be a scary yet very exciting experience.46. According to the first paragraph, fear sometimes .A. protect us when weve made mistakes B. makes sure our feelings are not hurtC. brings great change to our everyday life D. makes us lose confidence in ourselves47. It can be inferred from the passage that the author .A. thinks it difficult to control our fear B. believes fears protect us negativelyC. thinks its good to criticize ourselves D. values the advantages of feeling fear48. According to the author, the ways we react to fear .A. vary from person to person B. have been formed since childhoodC. develop during our growthD. will not change until we get old49.The last paragraph mainly tells us . A. what is the essence of fearsB. usual reactions we have when feeling fearC. how to deal with fears reasonablyD. the importance of humor and compassion50.What would be the best title for the passage?A. Is fear managing your life?B. Be calm when feeling fearC. What do you fear most?D. Passion, chance and fear DA Frenchman went to a small Italian town and was staying with his wife at the best hotel there. One night, he went out for a walk alone.
