Select two reasons why being frightened is good. Who ever thought that being frightened can be a good thing? Scientists have discovered that fear makes your brain release healthy chemicals that create feelings of happiness. These chemicals also help people bond with one another. Sharing a scary experience with someone can make you feel closer to that person, solidifying your friendship. There is also some research that shows that being frightened can help a person manage stressful situations. The anxiety you feel right before speaking in front of an audience can actually help you build endurance to that fearful situation. You become more comfortable and confident with the physical experience of fear, so you’ll be better able to work through it in tense situations.

Select two reasons why the monarch butterfly migrates south each year. Most monarch butterflies travel from Canada and the northern United States to Southern California or Mexico where the winter is warm. These fascinating creatures take a 2,000 mile journey south each year, beginning their journey in October. Butterflies can’t survive the cold winter, especially since their food source, nectar becomes scarce during the winter months. Butterflies live only a few months, so each butterfly migrates only once. During the trip back North, female monarchs lay eggs on the milkweed plants that grow along the way. The eggs hatch into tiny caterpillars who eat the milkweed and eventually attaches itself to a leaf, sheds its skin, forms a hard shell, and emerges as a full-grown monarch butterfly. The butterfly then flies north.
They migrate to get away from cold weather and to lay eggs

Select three reasons the childhood obesity ( being fat) epidemic is improving. There is some great news regarding the childhood obesity epidemic. U.S. cities like New York, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles are beginning to report declines in obesity rates, the first in decades. These positive changes are the result of making healthy changes in schools, grocery stores, and the community. School lunches now offer healthier options for students including more servings of fruits and vegetables and wheat bread. Food products sold in grocery stores have less sugar such as popular cereals and drinks. Many community parks now offer outdoor fitness areas with exercise equipment permanently placed in select areas of the park. This makes daily physical activity more accessible to all.
