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 studiedshy 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. Growingup 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（责备）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 practicing---if you are shy, you are not the only one.conversation. And don’t forget31. What is the passage mainly about?A．Happiness. B．Shyness. C．Kindness.

The closestrelative is the African wild cat which still lives in Africa today. This is understandable because thefirst house cats came from Africa. .Cats first started to live around people in Egypt about 6,000—7,000 years ago. From Egypt,cats started to move around the world. This is about the same time that Egyptians began storinggrain (谷物) in buildings. Scientists used to believe that people tamed cats to catch mice andprotect the grain. However, cats don’t like to be told what to do! Now, scientists believe that cats followed the mice and learned to accept people. Finally, some of the cats began to grow comfortable around people. These were smaller cats that needed protection. As these cats andpeople got used to each other, then they moved in together. Around 5,000 years ago, cats started tolive with people.Soon cats were in Greece, then the Middle East and China. They moved along Egyptianbusiness roads keeping away mice and keeping people around them. After the Romans came toEgypt, they also accepted the cats and brought them to Europe. These cats likely bred (繁殖) withother cats to form the many kinds of house cats we have today.Cats are relatively recent house animals. House cats still have a lot in common with their wildrelatives. Cats sleep a lot to save energy just like wild cats. They will often get food at night aswell. House cats are generally peaceful and friendly, but be careful! If a cat feels it is in danger, itwill fight back—just like a wild cat!36. Where did the first house cats come from?A. Asia.B. Africa.C. Europe.D. America.37.

When is all information in this publication correct?BDo you get angry when someone stands too close to you or talks too loudly?Many of us do. What makes us feel uncomfortable about these people?Perhaps it’s about personal space. Some scientists say that humans need a distance between themselves and strangers.Personal space means not only space around the body, but around the senses. People may feeluncomfortable when with certain sounds, smells or looks. For example, some people don’t lik sound of a man shouting into a mobile phone in a shop. Or maybe they don’t like sitting next to awoman on a bus with a lot of perfume on.While people like to protect their personal space, they may not know they are doing it. Manypeople hold newspapers in front of them on the subway. Perhaps they are using the newspaper toseparate (分离) themselves from other people.How much people care about personal space is different from culture to culture. Some scientistssay that people in the US need more personal space than people in other countries.But in Latin cultures, people are more comfortable standing close to each other.46.
