People fear things or situations that make them feel unsafe.For instance，someone who isn’t a strong swimmer might have a fear of deep water.In this case，the fear is helpful because it cautions the person to stay safe.2.____________

　　A fear can be healthy if it cautions a person to stay safe around something that could be dangerous.But sometimes a fear is unnecessary and causes more caution than the situation calls for.3.____________ Whether it’s giving a report in class，speaking at an assembly，or reciting lines in the school play，speaking in front of others is one of the most common fears people have.
