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、   COVID-19 has made people think harder about their relationship with nature. It has also raised questions about city lifestyles. The sharing economy, working in open offices, living in crowded apartment and the food industry's use of reusable products have made the perfect storm for a pandemic（大流行）.

Although the sharing economy might be good—it's cheaper to rent than to own—sharing spaces and objects are great ways to spread the virus. How does one do "social distancing" when they are expected to share cars, bikes and even the same offices?

The trend of using open offices, which can save space, is working against. In this type of office, workers don't have their own desk—everything is shared. Sometimes, computers and chairs are also shared, which is not hygienic（卫生的）. Luckily, more workers are working from home during the pandemics but that won't last forever.

Reusability（循环利用）is a common practice in the restaurant industry. Reusable cups and chopsticks are often used. Unluckily, reusable products increased the chance of spreading disease. For example, Starbucks recently stopped refilling customers' reusable cups in order to stop the spread of the virus.

People like to be social. But the virus has made this more dangerous. We have to be careful about how we interact with others for now. Perhaps we need to rethink about our lifestyles to reduce the spread of future pandemics.

【1】According to the author, the strong point of the sharing economy is that ________.

A.it lasts longer B.it costs less

C.it's popular D.it's hygienic

【2】Paragraph 3 is mainly about ________.

A.how working at home won't last long

B.how shared offices can save space

C.the hygienic problems of open offices

D.the sharing economy trend

【3】According to the author, restaurants can spread the virus easily because ________.

A.everything is shared in many restaurants

B.they use too much disposable tableware

C.many restaurants have poor hygiene

D.cups and chopsticks are often reused

【4】What does the word "interact" mean in the last paragraph?

A.play B.exchange C.fight D.communicate

【5】The author probably agrees that ________.

A.we need to change some of our lifestyles

B.the sharing economy won't last forever

C.no one can stay out of the sharing economy

D.we shouldn't stay away from shared products

27、任务型阅读，阅读下列短文，根据短文中的信息完成文后表格。在答题卡标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处所填单词的正确形式（每空一词）

Any time of the day you can devote to exercising is a good time for getting active, but if you want to make a healthy fitness plan, it may be helpful to keep several points in mind and find out the best time to exercise.

First, try to know what kind of person you are. Especially, are you an early bird who always wakes up early in the morning, or a night owl(猫头鹰)who almost never goes to bed before midnight? Once you are generally aware of what your sleep characteristics are, you will have a better understanding of when your body needs exercise, either early in the morning, sometime during the day, or later on in the evening.

Second, consider your daily plan. When do you seem to be most busy, and when do you plan your most important tasks? Try to fit in your exercise before or at least around these events if possible, so that you can keep exercising and your life won't be influenced as well.

Third, think about when you feel you have the most energy. For most people, that time is usually in the morning after a good night's rest, or after a long day of work. After a busy or much stressful day, exercising can reduce your working stress from hard work.

Lastly, find out the place you plan to do exercise. Your house provides exercise at any time if you own fitness equipment(设备)，but if there is a gym(健身房)down the street or along the way home from work, it will make it more suitable for you to exercise.

More importantly, you need to make a plan and try sticking to it for one week. If you do so and can get through the exercise without being pulled in another direction, make it a habit. And once you have set up your fitness plan, don't make any great changes to it unless your doctor allows you to.

28、短文填空。请认真阅读下面短文，并根据各题所给首字母的提示，写出一个合适的英语单词完整、正确的形式，使短文通顺。

Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, "Happiness depends upon ourselves." In other words, we 【1】m      our own happiness. Here are a 【2】f     suggestions to help you be happier.

The first secret of 【3】h is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the 【4】f   , for example, getting into college or getting a good job, that we fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy life’s simple 【5】p    , such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and 【6】h   lives.

Another secret to living a happy life is to be 【7】a     . Many people go out to dance or play sports. People can forget about their problems and only think about the activities.

Finally, many people find happiness in helping 【8】o       . Studies show that people feel good when they spend their 【9】t   helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things 【10】f someone else. You can help a friend with his or her studies, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes.
