Quick!
read the passage from amy tan's "rules of the game.”

my parents made many concessions to allow me to practice. one time i complained that the bedroom i shared was so noisy that i couldn’t think. thereafter, my brothers slept in a bed in the living room facing the street. i said i couldn’t finish my rice; my head didn’t work right when my stomach was too full. i left the table with half-finished bowls and nobody complained. but there was one duty i couldn’t avoid. i had to accompany my mother on saturday market days when i had no tournament to play. my mother would proudly walk with me, visiting many shops, buying very little. "this my daughter wave-ly jong,” she said to whoever looked her way.

one day after we left a shop i said under my breath, "i wish you wouldn’t do that, telling everybody i’m your daughter.” my mother stopped walking. crowds of people with heavy bags pushed past us on the sidewalk, bumping into first one shoulder, then another.

the support that the author, uses in the article facing our fears is a): a definition of the part of the brain called the amygdala.

he takes neuroscientist joseph ledoux's words by telling that by falling to distinguish between evolutionary old systems located in the amygdala and newer systems, centered in the prefrontal cortex, doctors have conflated non conscious threat circuits in the brain with circuits that underlie the conscious experience of fear. that, the author says, "leads ledoux to the jarring conclusion that the amygdala, a decades-old centerpiece of the brain's fear circuit, does not underlie the conscious feeling of fear".

despite this, the author points out in the article that that is a controversial notion and that evidence, in animal and humans, supports the idea that core emotions can exist outside of conscious awareness.
