25、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（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 conversation. And don’t forget---if you are shy, you are not the only one.

【1】What is the passage mainly about?

A. Happiness.   B. Shyness.

C. Kindness. D. Loneliness.

【2】What does the underlined word “genetic” in paragraph 2 probably mean?

A. Passed down from parents.

B. Learned from friends

C. Taught by teachers.

D. Made up by brothers.

【3】Which one is not the reason of shyness according to the scientists’ ideas?

A. Genetics.   B. Family size

C. Failure D. Birthplace.

【4】What can you do if you want to get over your shyness?

A. Try to know why you are shy.

B. Talk to your parents and blame them.

C. Try to learn some social skills.

D. Try new things and practice conversation.

26、Playing for Peace

John Hunter, a primary school teacher, created the World Peace Game as a way for his students to think about big world problems.

The World Peace Game is played on a cube （立方体）of four layers. In the game, there are four countries with 50 interconnected problems to solve. The students play a role in developing solutions to the problems of their assigned （指定的）country. The goal of the game is to save each country from dangerous conditions. When all 50 problems are solved, the game is over, which means the world is in peace.

You might think that the task of solving real-world problems would be daunting to world leaders, let alone fourth graders. Julianne Swope, one of Hunter's students, agrees. "Sometimes the World Peace Game feels like, you know? The weight of the world on your shoulders: This is firing over there and this is a big earthquake, she says. "But I say to myself, I need to fix this." The game shows that young children have the desire to make the world a better, more peaceful place.

The game encourages students to work together and communicate with one another. Students think about questions that have no clear answers, which often leads to long discussions. They consider deep questions in the process and think about the possible results of their decisions. They try to develop creative solutions that lead to a satisfactory decision.

It is no surprise that both Hunter and the World Peace Game are becoming well known. Hunter now spends part of his time teaching the World Peace Game to other teachers. Schools in other countries have started their own versions （版本）of the game as well.

Hunter hopes that by playing for peace, students learn  "how to make people not experience so much pain. " He adds, "I think I now hope the game helps people be kinder. " One of his former students, Irene Newman, is now studying peace in her university. She believes the world will be more peaceful if young people are to solve its problems.

【1】How is the World Peace Game played?

A.Students team up to play the game online.

B.Students answer 50 questions during the game.

C.Students come up with solutions to 50 problems.

D.Students list the dangerous conditions of four countries.

【2】The word "daunting” in Paragraph 3 probably means "________".

A.frightening B.surprising C.attractive D.simple

【3】What do you know about the World Peace Game from the passage?

A.The design o£ this game needs to be improved.

B.John Hunter educates his students through this game.

C.John Hunter limits this game to students in his school.

D.This game helps students easily become leaders in the future.

27、Do you know why different animals or pests（害虫）have their special colours? Colours in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.

Some birds like eating locusts, but birds cannot easily catch them. Why? It is because locusts change their colours together with the change of the colours of crops. When crops are green, locusts look green. But as the harvest time comes, locusts change to the same brown colour as crops have. Some other pests with different colours from plants are easily found and eaten by others. So they have to hide themselves for lives and appear only at night.

If you study the animal life, you’ll find the main use of colouring is protecting themselves. Bears, lions and other animals move quietly through forests. They cannot be seen by hunters. This is because they have the colours much like the tree.

Have you ever noticed an even more strange act? A kind of fish in the sea can send out a kind of very black liquid when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over, the enemies cannot find it. And it immediately swims away. So it has lived up to now though it isn’t strong at all.

【1】From the passage we can learn that locusts _______．

A. are small animals

B. are easily found by birds

C. are dangerous to their enemies

D. change their colours to protect themselves

【2】Bears and lions can keep safe because they_______.

A. have the colours much like the trees

B. move quickly

C. like brown and grey colours

D. live in forests

【3】 Why can the fish mentioned in the last paragraph live up to now?

A. Because it is very strong.

B. Because the liquid it sends out can help it get away from its enemies.

C. Because the liquid it sends out can kill its enemies.

D. Because it swims faster than any other fish.

【4】Which is the best title for this passage?

A. The Change of Colours for Animals and Pests

B. Colours of Different Animals and Pests

C. The Main Use of Colours for Animals and Pests

D. Some Animals and Pests
