问题 In 1884 the famous philosopher and psychologist William James presented a relatively simple and extremely useful theory of emotion. Although there is【S1】______over this theory in some academic circles, the theory has great【S2】______value for many of us.
    "Our natural way of thinking about emotions is that the mental perception of some fact excites the mental affection called the emotion(for example, fear and that this【S3】______state of mind gives rise to the bodily expression. My thesis on the contrary is that the bodily changes follow directly the perception of the exciting fact(stimulus and that our feeling(awareness of the same changes as they【S4】______. is the emotion."
    This gist of these words is that our awareness of our reactions to a【S5】______situation is the real emotion. James’s favourite illustration of this theory was that of a man coming upon a bear in the woods. In a【S6】______way, we might say the bear triggers the emotion of fear in us. Not so, for according to James, out body reacts almost【S7】______to the bear. Our natural survival devices take over to prepare us for an emergency. Our muscles tense for better agility(敏捷 , our heartbeat and【S8】______quicken to provide larger supplies of fuel, our glands secrete(腺素的分泌 fluids to sharpen our senses and give emergency energy. All of this happens in an instant. Then we become aware of our bodily reactions. We sense our heavy breathing, our muscles tense to the point of trembling, it is this awareness of our reactions that【S9】______us; in other words, the awareness is the emotion. This knowledge and understanding, other things being equal, will help you better【S10】______what action you take and thereby improve your chance for survival.

A recognize              B practical           C occur              D controversy
E nonscientific          F breathing           G critically         H awareness
