TEXT I
Nothing defines us than a full and
unguarded expression _____ emotions. They reveal private and personal
information ________ us. As Dr. Sandra Scott says, it’s no wonder that ______
times, we have difficulty expressing them freely.
Ultimately our fear is _____ the
consequences _______ showing our emotions – how will people react? Some men can
feel under the additional burden _____ believing that displaying their emotions
will make them appear less masculine. They can feel emotionally trapped _____
traditional “macho images”. These images seem to dictate that some emotions are
feminine such as fear, anxiety and sadness – and that these can only be shown
_____ restricted measures.
If showing our emotions leaves us
feeling exposed and vulnerable, then why do it? There are two main incentives
to do so; the first is the effect _____ us and the second is the effect ____
our personal lives.
Releasing our emotions can act as a
safety valve – relieving inner tensions, like steam ______ a kettle. It
relieves the pressure _____holding them ______ or disguising them. Guarded
emotions _____ a relationship can lead ______ misunderstandings ______ how
your’re really feeling. Lack _____visible emotions can be taken as a lack
_____feeling.

TEXT II
Some people say there are two wolves
inside each of us. There is a constant battle between those two wolves. And you
decide the winner.
Tsali , an old chief of the Cherokees ( a tribe of North American
Indians that live in Southwest of the United States), often walks along the
stream near the village with his
grandson. They do that almost every day. The old man knows a lot of stories
full of adventure or wisdom and the boy loves to listen to them.
This morning Tsali decides to tell the boy about a battle that sometimes
happens inside himself. The old man says, “ This battle is between two wolves.
One is evil: cruelty, hate, anger, envy, despair, greed, arrogance, guilt,
lies, resentment, inferiority,superiority, and ego.
The old Indian stops for a moment and then says, “ The other is good:
joy, peace, love, hope, empathy, friendship, serenity, humility, kindness,
generosity, truth, compassion, and faith…”
The boy is filled with curiosity. He looks at this grandfather and asks,
“ What happens then? Which wolf wins?”
Tsali just smiles and answers, “ The one I feed.”
