The passage describes how adrenaline races through the blood, preparing the body for quick movement by increasing heart rate and speeding breathing. It also explains the “fight or flight” response and why fear from a safe haunted-house experience can feel fun.

In just a blink, your whole body has switched on like an alarm. That quick, jumpy feeling is called fear, and it is your brain's way of keeping you safe.  \nThat alarm starts deep inside your head, in a little part of your brain called the amygdala. When the amygdala spots something scary, it acts like a tiny fire alarm and shouts, \"Danger!\" Then it tells your body to make a special chemical called adrenaline,  \nwhich zooms through your blood. Believe it or not, all of this happens faster than you can even think the word \"scared\"!  \nBecause adrenaline is racing around, your body gets ready to move in a hurry. Your heart beats faster to push blood to your muscles, and you breathe quicker to grab more air. People call this\"fight or flight,\" because your body is packing up to either stand and fight or run away fast. Long ago, this helped people escape from real dangers, like a hungry animal in the woods.  \nSo why would anyone pay to walk through a haunted house and feel all that? The secret is that your brain knows you are really safe, so the scare turns into fun instead of true danger. After the spooky part is over, you take slow breaths, your heart slows down, and you feel calm again. The wildest part is that the same alarm that once helped people run from wild animals is the reason a scary story can make you giggle!  \nThe Science of Being Scared  \nName:  \n\n| Solve each problem.\u003Cbr>Use the article to answer the question.\u003Cbr>1) What is the main idea of this passage?\u003Cbr>A.
