（A）I live in a very overpopulated beach area in the Los Angeles, and I love the beautiful sights. But because of many people, lots of things are easy to be out of order, and sometimes it’s also easy to become angry. Today was a day I wish I did not get out of bed. I mean that if I did not have to wake up and deal with all the things that I have to deal with every day, it would have been wonderful.I had a cup of coffee this morning and that was my meal for breakfast, not healthy I know. Anyway, my stomach was sounding like a truck. So, I jumped in my car and decided to buy some food.I was in line at Taco Bell and the line was like a long snake! Finally I got to place my order, but a young girl in nice clothes pulled in and was stuck in such a way that unless I moved for her, she wouldn’t be able to get out. So I backed up and waved her into my place in the front of the line.I was surprised that this young girl did not say thanks. I was a little unhappy about it because I thought that I had done something nice for a change. After the girl received and drove away, Ipulled into the ordering spot, not mad but hungry, and the employee said, “Hi, that girl just paid for your food. ”That food was the most satisfying nourishment(营养品)my body had ever taken! If just by chance you are that person who bought my food, I should say “Thank you !”( )26.

What’s the best title of the passage?A. Patience Is NecessaryB. Kindness Is SpreadingC. Being Cool Can Change the WorldD. Being Calm Is Important in Accidents(B)Are you shy? If you are, you are not alone. In fact, close to 50 percent of people are shy. Almost 80 percent of people feel shy at some point in their lives. These days, shyness is becoming more and more common. Now, scientists are trying to understand shyness. They have some interesting ideas about why people are shy.Is it possible to be born shy? Many scientists say yes. They say 15 to 20 percent of babies behave shyly. These babies are a little quieter and more watchful than other babies. Interestingly, these shy babies usually have shy parents. As a result, scientists think that some shyness is genetic.Family size might cause people to be shy as well. Scientists at Harvard University studied shy children. They found that 66 percent of them had older brothers and sisters. As a result, they became shy. At the same time, children with no brothers and sisters may be shy as well. Growing up alone, they often play by themselves. They are not able to learn the same social skills as children from big families.You may also be shy because of where you were born. When scientists studied shyness in different countries. They found surprising differences. In Japan, most people said they were shy. But in Israel, only one of three people said so. What explains the difference? One scientist says the Japanese and Israelis have different opinions of failure. In Japan, when people do not succeed, they feel bad about themselves. They blame themselves for their failure. In Israel, the opposite is true. Israelis often blame failure on outside reasons, such as family, teachers, friends, or bad luck. In Israel, freedom of opinion and risk taking are strongly supported. This may be why Israelis worry less about failure and are less shy.For shy people, it can be difficult to make friends, speak in class, and even get a good job. But scientists say you can get over your shyness. They suggest trying new things and practising conversation. And don’t forget---if you are shy, you are not the only one.( )31.
