25、   Are you shy? If you are, you are not alone. In fact, about 50 percent of people are shy. Almost 80 percent of people feel shy at some point in their lives. Now, scientists have some interesting ideas about why people are shy. Scientists say 15 to 20 percent of babies behave shyly. These babies are a little quieter and more watchful (警惕的) than other babies. Interestingly, these shy babies usually have shy parents. As a result, scientists believe some shyness is genetic (遗传的).

Family size may be another factor. Scientists at Harvard University found 66 percent of shy children had older brothers and sisters. These children were often bullied (欺侮) by their brothers and sisters. Therefore, they became shy. However, children with no brothers or sisters can be shy as well. Growing up alone, they often play by themselves. It’s hard for them to develop social skills as children from big families.

You may also be shy because of your birthplace. In Japan, most people are shy. But in Israel (以色列), only one third of people are. Why? One scientist says they treat failure differently. In Japan, when people fail, they blame (责备) themselves. In Israel, people often blame other things, such as family, friends, or bad luck.

For shy people, it can be difficult to make friends, speak in class, and even get a good job. But scientists say you can overcome your shyness. They suggest trying new things and talking with others more.

【1】What is the story mainly about?

A.Happiness. B.Shyness. C.Loneliness. D.Kindness.

【3】According to the story, what factors may result in shyness?

A.Genes, friends and birthplace. B.Genes, family size and birthplace.

【4】What suggestion do scientists give to shy people?

A.Blame their failure on others. B.Try to find out why they are shy.

C.Stay away from other shy people. D.Try new things and talk more.

【5】What can we infer from the story?

A.Most babies are born shy. B.If you are shy now, you will be shy forever.

26、   A month before my first marathon, one of my ankles (踝关节) was injured and this meant not running for two weeks, leaving me only two weeks to train. Yet, I decided to go ahead.

I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first P. E. class, the teacher required us to run and hit a softball. I didn't do either well. He later told me that I was "not athletic".

The idea that I was "not athletic" stuck with me for years. When I started running in my 30s, I realized running was a battle against myself. It was all about the battle against my own body and mind. It was a test of wills.

The night before my marathon, I dreamt that I couldn't even find the finish line. I woke up sweating (出汗) and nervous, but ready to prove something to myself.

The next day, the Marathon started.

At mile 3, I passed a sign: "GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!"

By mile 17, I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly.

By mile 21, I was quite hungry. As I approached mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan.

I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished. And I got a medal. In fact, I got the same medal as the guy who came in first place had.

Determined to be myself, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels (世俗标签). I can now call myself a "marathon winner".

【1】A month before the marathon, the author ____________.

A.was well trained B.felt excited C.made up his mind to run D.lost hope

【2】Why did the author mention the P. E. class in his 7th year?

A.To show the support of his teacher. B.To tell the readers a funny story.

C.To show he was not talented in sports. D.To share a valuable memory.

【3】How was the author's first marathon?

A.He made it. B.He stopped halfway.

C.He got the first prize. D.He walked to the end.

【4】What does the story mainly tell us?

A.A man ones his success to his family support.

B.A winner is one with a great effort of will.

C.Failure is the mother of success.

D.Soon learn, soon forgotten.

27、Peer pressure is that strong feeling you might get to do the same things as other people of your age if you want them to like you. There is nobody that wants to be talked about or laughed at. But regretfully (遗憾地), we can’t always do things we like and have to forget who we truly are sometimes because it becomes more important for us to fit in with those around us.

Sometimes the pressure that we feel involves (参与) unimportant things, like being considered cool or dressing fashionably. We feel like doing things others do and saying things others say. Like starting to drink, because everyone does it, or maybe one of our friends drinks. But we do it anyway because we don’t want others to think we are scared. At that moment all that seems to be important to us is what they think of us, but later we regret the choice that we have made. Peer pressure often makes people take risks and put their life on the line.

So why do we give in to negative (消极的) peer pressure? Sometimes we just want to show that we are independent (独立的). Others may go along because they are curious to try something new that other people around them are doing. The idea of following the crowd (大众) influences our judgment (判断) or common sense. And most of the time we give in because we don’t want to be made fun of or talked about for not doing what others are doing. We also do it because we are afraid of being refused by others or because we aren’t sure of ourselves. Also, we do it because we don’t want to lose a friendship, or we want to be liked by everyone. Those who give in to peer pressure have low self-esteem (自尊), uncertainty about themselves, and don’t have a sense of self-worth.

Sometimes peer pressure can also be good. What we have to do is to learn to tell the difference between positive (积极的) and negative pressure. It is OK sometimes to follow the crowd but we have to recognize when it does us more harm than good.

【1】Which of the following is most likely to cause peer pressure?

A. Our relatives invite us to attend a party.

B. Our teachers gave us a lot of homework.

C. Our parents expect high scores from us.

D. Our classmates take mobile phones to our school.

【2】According to Paragraph 2, we sometimes do something wrong to show that we_________.

A. are scared B. are independent

C. have great talent D. have great courage

【3】We give in to peer pressure to_________.

A. make others accept us B. attract others’ attention

C. prove our special value D. show our personality

【4】Which idea may cause us to make a wrong judgment according to the passage?

A. Nobody is perfect. B. Nothing is impossible.

C. Everyone else is doing it. D. Just follow your own belief.

Many years ago, when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver, I was driving to my parents’ home in Missouri for Christmas.

I took off, but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. I stopped and wondered w【3】 I should do. A car pulled up behind me.

We chatted on the way to the city, and when I got out of the car, the husband gave me his business card.

I wrote him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me. Soon afterward, I r【4】 a Christmas present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had m【5】 their holiday meaningful.

Years later, I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In late afternoon I returned to my car and found that I’d left the lights on all day, and the battery (电池) was dead. Then I n【6】 that the Friendly Ford dealership—a shop selling cars—was right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.

“Just how friendly is Friendly Ford?” I asked and explained my trouble. They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it. They would a【7】 no payment, so when I got home, I wrote them a note to say thanks. I received a letter back from one of the salesmen. No one had ever taken the time to write to him and say thank you, and it meant a lot, he said.

“Thank you”—two powerful words. They’re easy to say and mean so much.
