It was another busy day until I met that boy on a bus. He was not a passenger like me. He was. what we call, a street child, an 8-10-year-old kid with a worn T-shirt. These poorly-dressed kids were seen almost everywhere in Dhaka city, but what was special about that boy was his face. There was something on him that caught my attention, an angelic(天使般的) baby face with little care.
He got straight into the bus as it stopped at a traffic light. The bus helper shouted at him in the first place, but the boy remained silent and started to hand out a piece of paper to all the passengers. What was written in the paper was, in short, his father died a couple of years ago. His mother worked at houses. He needed money to help his family, so he wanted us to buy chocolates from him.
This was nothing new to people who took a bus every day and I was no different. I had my carphones on. When he came to me to get the paper back, I gave him some money. Thankfully, it brought some smile on his face. He was about to give me 10 chocolates in return of the money I gave him.
“I don't like chocolates, brother. No need of chocolates. You can have the money,” I said.
All of a sudden the smile on his face disappeared.
“I am not a beggar (乞丐). Please take the chocolates or take your money back.” His straight answer greatly surprised me. I had given money to many kids before, without taking their chocolates. I realized his angelic baby face was not the only thing special about him.

You may be told not to be afraid of anything. Fear is often connected with (与… 有关联)weakness, and fear is something we want to avoid (避免) . But that's not all true. Fear can be good for us sometimes.
Fear tells us about danger. Without fear, we will not realize we should run away from a tiger or step back from a high place. Researchers said that a healthy fear keeps teenagers away from dangerous people, places and activities.
Fear makes us jump, shake and cry. But interestingly, sometimes we make ourselves feel fear on purpose (故意地) . Think about scary books and movies, and also the long lines for a scary roller coaster ride. Kerr, a researcher, explained why we like to do so. Fear fills our brains with healthy chemicals (化学物质) . These things create feelings of happiness and excite us. Besides. when we're scared, our bodies produce a chemical which helps us bond with each other. “Watch people walking off a roller coaster, and you'll see lots of smiles on their faces," Kerr said. That also explains why schools organize some challenging trips and physical activities to build up students' team spirit.
People experience and deal with fear in different ways. If you get scared easily, don't worry. Because being scared can help a person manage difficult situations. The fear may come from things like giving a report in front of your class or performing in a school play. It can help you be more confident. Also, if you become more comfortable with the physical experience of fear, you'll be better able to work through it during the difficult situations.
So, learn to love your fear. It only grows when you forget how helpful your fear is.
