问题     Fears of death are not so extensive as might be supposed.
In a public opinion poll of 1500 adults, only about 4
percent showed evidence of direct fearing their own death.        【S1】______
Those fears that do exist apparently change with age. Hall
found that younger individuals fear the occur of death,           【S2】______
whereas old people fear the circumstances of death. In another    【S3】______
study, elderly patients were rated for signs of fear
before death.
    It was found that feelings of acceptance, anticipation,
and, in some cases, apathy, far outnumber instances of fear       【S4】______
before death.
    These findings seem to indicate a general lack of fear
about death, but there is other possible interpretation. It       【S5】______
may be more accurate to say that they reflect a deeply
ingrained tendency to deny the reality of death. The mere
fact that death has been something of a taboo subject
suggest that underlying fears do exist. When Psychology           【S6】______
Today surveyed its readers on the subject of death,
it was found that less than one-thirds of those who               【S7】______
replied to grew up in families in which death was openly          【S8】______
talked about. The average person’s exposure of death              【S9】______
unfortunately consists of the artificial and obviously unrealistic
portrayals of death on TV. It has been estimated that by
the time a person is 14 years old, he or she will witness 18      【S10】______
000 TV deaths. With almost no exception these will have
been homicides, not deaths due to illness or aging.
【S4】
