25、   Painting and writing on walls is nothing new. In prehistoric(史前的)times, people in Africa and Europe painted pictures of animals and people in caves. Graffiti has been found at ancient sites in Greece, Italy, Syria and Iraq. In the Roman town of Pompeii in Italy, archaeologists found a lot of graffiti written in Latin,  including political and romantic messages, and even some magic spells!

In the 1970s, young people in New York used pens to write their names, or "tags", on walls around the city. One of the first "taggers" was Demetrius, a teenager from a Greek family. He wrote his tag on walls in his neighbourhood and in subway stations on the way to school. Other teenagers saw Demetrius's tag and started writing..their own tags on walls, buses and subway trains all over New York. Then, some teenagers stopped using pens and started using paints. Their tags were bigger and more colourful and appeared on trains, buses and walls around the world. In the 1990s and 2000s, a lot of graffiti artists started to make pictured too.

In many countries, it is a crime to paint on walls and street artists can have problems with the police. In other countries, street art is permitted in certain places. Nowadays, street art is more popular with the public. In some cities, there are street art festivals. In Bristol in the UK, there is a street art festival in August every year. Artists paint all the buildings in a street. Lots of people come to watch the artists and take photos. Street art can be seen in galleries(美术馆)too.

26、   Scientists at the University of Michigan have built a robot called MABEL. MABEL is able to run at a speed of 6.8 mph. This is a world record for a machine with two legs.

It took the researchers three years to get MABEL up and run to her top speed. There are still some problems, but she is thought of a huge step forward for robot­kind.

The makers of the robot say that science and technology can help people. Jonathan Hurst is a scientist from Oregon State University. He says scientists have done research into what MABEL can do in the future. They think that walking robots can help people who have something wrong with their legs walk again, or help people do things like a superman.

Professor Jessy Crizzle from the University of Michigan, also points that how useful human-like robots can be. "If you would like to send robots to search for people when a house is on fire, they can go up and down the stairs, step over the baby's toys on the floor and go in places where wheels and tracks can not go."

27、   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.

28、   If you had an emergency (紧急情况), who would you think 【1】 first? What would you do if your parents had an emergency?
