  If someone jumps out from behind a wall to scare you, how do you usually react? Most people would __1__ a shout and say, “You scared me to death.” This phrase obviously isn’t meant to be taken literally. Rather, it is used to demonstrate how incredibly __2__ someone is. However, this raises the question of whether or not people can actually be scared to death. According to scientists and existing evidence, this is very much a __3__.

  The human body’s typical reaction to getting suddenly scared is to release the hormone adrenaline and activate the fight-or-flight response. The spread of adrenaline in the body produces __4__ reactions like a rapid heart rate, increased blood flow to the muscles, and dilation of the pupils. In this state, the body becomes more __5__ and has quicker reaction times. While it is helpful to people who are in life-and-death situations, adrenaline can be a __6__ sword to the body.
