14.Read the following passages and make notes of important points for each:
1. This is the sense of the future I want to talk about, at first hand, as a scientist. I
am distressed to see how many people today are afraid of the future and of science
together. I believe that these fears are mistaken. They seem to me to misunderstand
the methods of science, and spring from a gloom about what it has done which has
simply forgotten the facts. We sit under the shadow of the nine O'clock news nursing
our sense of doom, and we think ourselves worse off than our forefathers a hundred
and fifty years ago, who were at war with Napoleon for a generation. But a hundred
and fifty years ago, Cholera was more common in England than often. The country
could barely support ten million people and not a million of them could read. You
know now this has been changed.

Answer:
Tommy, 11, fears the dark because he worries that someone might break into his house.
Madison, 10, is afraid of shots (immunizations) and was once teased because she said she was afraid of thunderstorms. "I tried to take my words back, but they knew anyway. I was really embarrassed," she said.
The Top Fears
We gave kids a list of 14 scary things and asked which one frightened them the most. Here are the top 5 answers from our survey:
scary movies and TV shows
nightmares and scary dreams
thunderstorms, hurricanes, and other violent weather
war and terrorism
sounds I hear at night
But not everyone is afraid of the same things. And what makes one person scared can be no big deal for someone else. Plenty of kids said their biggest fear wasn't on our list.
Rachel, 11, was one of them. She's most afraid of giant jellyfish that live off the coast of Australia. "I would like to get over them because they're bigger than people and they have huge stingers that can kill someone in 3 seconds," Rachel said.
Kate, 9, wishes she could get over her "whole back-flip problem. I never do it when I know I can. I am scared I will hurt myself," she said.
A couple kids said funerals scared them. Fireworks frightened other kids. Even going alone to a big bathroom — like the kind in school or at the mall — can be scary, according to a few kids
