Do you know growing pains(疼痛)?Growing pains aren't a disease. Sometimes you don't have to see a doctor. Usually children can get them between the ages of 3and 5 or 8 and 12. When children are over fifteen, most of them don't get growing pains. Children often get growing pains in their legs. They often start before bedtime and sometimes in the middle of the night. But they go away by the morning. Doctors don't know why. They think when children run,climb or jump a lot during the day, they may have pains in their legs at night.
Parents can help children feel better by buying some medicine. But it is not good for children. Here are some ways that may help children feel better:
★Put a piece of warm cloth on the place where children feel painful.
★Ask children to stretch(伸展)the legs like what they do in PE class.
★Ask somebody to help massage(按摩)the painful legs.
( )1.Who can get growing pains according to the passage
A.A girl at the age of 2. B.A boy at the age of 6. C.A girl at the age of 10. D.A boy at the age of 18.
( )2.When do growing pains often start
A.Before bedtime. B.In the middle of the night. C.By the morning. D.During the day.
( )3.What is the last paragraph mainly about
A.Why parents can't give some medicine to the children with growing pains.
B.How to massage children if they have growing pains.
C.Advice on how to make children with growing pains feel better.
D.Why children get growing pains.

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 20percent 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. The scientists said that these children were often bullied(欺负)by their 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 conversations. 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.What can be learned from the passage
A.Most little babies are born shy and quiet. B.If you are shy now,you will be shy forever.
C.Many shy children have older brothers and sisters. D.Most Israeli people are shy of expressing opinions.
( )4.We can learn from the passage that_______may cause shyness.
A.genetics, grown-ups and birthplace B.genetics, family size and birthplace
C.family size, grown-ups and failure D.genetics, family size and freedom
( )5.Scientists suggest that shy people can get over the shyness by________.
A.blaming their failure on outside reasons B.trying new things and practicing conversations
C.getting themselves away from their shy parents D.trying to understand reasons for their shyness

Smiling is not just a good way of communicating with others. It can also show which country you are from, according to a new study from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA. The study found that countries like Canada, the USA and Australia liked to smile when they started showing their feelings. This means they are likely to smile more than other countries.
This has something to do with their immigration culture.These countries are homes to people from many other places. So they have different cultural backgrounds and language barriers(障碍), which may cause some misunderstandings with others. But a smile shows someone is happy and friendly. It is helpful to push communication. "Or you wouldn't know what the other person was feeling of thinking, Paula Niedenthal, a psychologist(心理学家)of the university, told the Washington Newspaper.
Japanese people try to smile as a way of showing respect and kindness to others.Or they smile to hide their unhappy feelings with someone,according to the study.
It is true that Japan is a country that pays more attention to politeness. And smiling is an important part of their politeness culture. If you travel to Japan, taxi drivers and salesmen always show you a friendly smile. If something unexpected happens to a Japanese person, they may also smile to avoid being embarrassed.
Where do people smile least The answer is China's Hong Kong, followed by Indonesia, Russia and Switzerland.
( )1.After reading the last paragraph, what is the writer going to talk about in the next paragraph
