| Shyness May Be PartlyInherited About 92 million Americans are shy, and according to recent research about half of them inherited the trait. The studies were discussed at the American Psychological Convention. One study, by Harvard University, was of babies 21- 48 months old. It concluded that these babies had a high heart rate when shown unfamiliar people or different toys. Although shyness is not new, it has only recently become of interest to researchers. The first study on the genetic connection was in 1979. According to Warren Jones of the University of Tulsa, social relations these days are more complex. "With less ritual(仪式) and more complex situations," he said, "shyness is a national concern." Not all shy people are anxious and fearful, according to another study. Evidence shows that only half of shy people are tense, worried, and fearful in social situations. Many men use shyness as an excuse for failing in social situations, according to C.R. Snyder of the University of Kansas. "This is not true of females. Perhaps, American men are pressured to be assertive(自信的) and successful. So they would rather say they"re shy than admit they"re incompetent." Shy people may do very well socially after the first meeting with someone. In fact, shypeople tend to be more stable. The psychologists said shyness seems to be cultural. Japan has the highest rating. China and Israel have the lowest rating. The United States rated in the middle. 1. The word "trait" in the first paragraph means ______ A. way B. tradition C. character D. possession 2. Those babies studied were ______ when they saw unfamiliar people or different toys. A. tense or fearful B. calm C. as usual D. stable 3. Which of the following statements is Wrong? A. Researchers began to study shyness when it was known to them. B. According to Warren Jones, shyness had something to do with social relations C. Some shy people are anxious and fearful, some not. D. Shyness can perhaps make people do very well socially. 4. Why would American men rather say they"re shy than admit they"re incompetent? Because ______. A. shyness is usually used as an excuse by them. B. shyness is a good excuse. C. females don"t use shyness as an excuse. D. they are under the pressure of social situations. 5.We can learn from this passage that ______ A. shyness is naturally inherited B. shy people have virtues as well as shortcomings. C. females don"t use shyness as an excuse D. which country has shy people. | ||||

| My house is made out of wood,glass and stone. It is also made out of software. If you come to visit, you"ll probably be surprised when you come in someone will give you an electronic PIN (个人身份号码) to wear. This PIN tells the house who and where you are. The house uses this information to give you what you need. When it"s dark outside, the PIN turns on the lights nearest to you, and then turns them off as you walk away from them. Music moves with you too. If the house knows your favorite music, it plays it. The music seems to be everywhere, but in fact other people in the house hear different music or no music. If you get a telephone call, only the nearest telephone rings. Of course, you are also able to tell the house if you want something. There is a home control console, a small machine that turns things on and off around you. The PIN and the console are new ideas, but they are in fact like many things we have today. If you want to go to a movie, you need a ticket. If I give you my car keys, you can use my car. The car works for you because you have the keys. My house works for you because you wear the PIN or hold the console. I believe that ten years from now, most new homes will have the systems that I"ve put in my house. The systems will probably be even bigger and better than the ones I"ve put in today. I like to try new ideas. I know that some of my ideas will work better than others. But I hope that one day I will stop thinking of these systems as new, and ask myself nstead, "How will I live without them?" 1. What does the passage mainly discuss? A. How to develop a new system. B. The function of the PIN C. A home for the future D. Easy life in the future. 2. What"s the purpose when the writer wrote the fourth paragraph? A. To let readers know why his ideas are new B. To explain what the functions of the PIN and the console are C. To explain the importance of the PIN and the console. D. To let readers know how special his house is. 3. The writer"s new house is different from ordinary ones mainly because _______. A. it has your favorite music following you B. you can make a telephone call anywhere C. the writer is able to change his new idea into practice D. it has been controlled by computers 4. What is the writer most likely to be according to the passage? A. An IT expert B. A famous doctor C. An idealist D. An experienced teacher | ||||

"Take a couple of breaths and think of 9 that gives you pleasure: a 10 scene in nature, someone you love," Luskin says. Don"t 11 an apology. "Many times the person who hurt you has no 12 of apologizing," Luskin says. "They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don"t see things the same 13 . So if you wait for people to apologize ,you could be waiting a(n) 14 long time. "Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean 15 to the person who upsets you. Take the control away from your offender. Mentally replaying your 16 gives power to the person who caused you pain. " 17 of focusing on your hurt feelings, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness 18 you," Luskin says. Try to see things from the other person"s perspective (立场；视角). If you empathize (有同感) with that person, you may 19 that he or she was acting out ignorance, fear even love. Recognize the benefits of forgiveness. Research has shown that people who forgive report more energy, better 20 and better sleep patterns. Don"t forget to forgive yourself. "For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge," Luskin says. "But it can rob you of your self-confidence if you don"t do it. " | ||||
