科目：初中英語 來源：2012屆湖南省永州市初中校長常務(wù)理事單位初三聯(lián)考（二）英語試卷（帶解析） 題型：閱讀理解

閱讀短文，根據(jù)意思，從各題所給的A、B和C三個選項中選出最佳答案。
One midnight（午夜）, a little girl woke up （醒來）to pass water. She by herself got up and down her bed, walked to the bedroom door and opened it. She looked outside and walked back, for it was so dark in the hall that she feared（害怕）.
Her mother said, “Don’t be afraid, honey. Take courage（勇敢些）!”
“What’s courage（勇氣）?” she asked, running to her mother’s bed.
“Courage is the brave（勇敢的） breath（呼吸）,” her mother answered.
“Mum, do you have courage?”
“Certainly.”
The girl held out（伸出） her little hands, saying, “Mum, blow（吹） some of your breath of courage to me.”
After her mother blew out two mouthfuls（口） of breath into her little cold hands, the little girl clenched her fists(握拳) nervously（緊張地）, afraid that the “breath of courage” would run away（跑掉）. Then with her fists clenched, she walked out of the bedroom towards the bathroom with nothing to fear.
Her mother said to herself, “It will be nice if someone can blow some kinds of ‘breath’ to me. Then I can hold it in my hands too when I feel terrified or lost.”
In fact, mostly, what we are terrified of is nothing but the fear in our mind（心）. Who we should defeat(戰(zhàn)勝) is nobody but ourselves.
