Sally was fourteen. She studied in a middle school. She liked dancing and singing and spent a lot of time on them. But she hated maths and even decided to give it up. Her father was anxious（焦虑）about it.
　　It was Sunday. Sally’s father gave a call to his sister who taught maths in another school. He hoped she would come and tell his daughter how to learn maths. The woman came and said, “You are a clever girl, Sally. I’m sure you will soon learn maths well if you do your best.”
　　“I’m afraid I can’t, Aunt,” said Sally.“Girls can’t be good at maths.”
　　“I don’t think so,” said the woman.“I was good at it when I was a girl. You must do more exercises and try different ways to practise doing maths problems until you work them out or at least understand them better. Here is a maths problem. Please think it over and see if you can work it out.”
　　“OK,” said the girl.“Let me try.”
About an hour later Sally took the exercise book to her aunt and said, “I’ve tried several times and worked out the problem at last!”
　　“Well done!”her aunt looked at her answer and said happily, “Now you see, maths is not as difficult as you thought”.

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.
6. What is the passage mainly about
A. Happiness. B. Shyness. C. Kindness. D. loneliness.
7. 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.

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.
9. 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

Mr. Arehie Macfarlane finished the course successfully．Everyone was surprised to see he was so agile(敏捷的) and tough．
A few weeks later，when he was ready for his jump，he said to the coach(教练)，“I told you a bit of a lie．I’m really 75．”
That was six years ago and yesterday Archie Macfarlane made his 18th jump．They gave him the place of honor — first out of the plane — at a weekend meeting for parachutists over 40 years old．
Archie has other hobbies besides parachuting．He also enjoys motorcycling and mountaineering (登山)．
Last year he fell while climbing on Snowdon(斯诺登峰）and had to be saved by helicopter．
His daughter said，“Sometimes I think he ought to stop doing all these．But as my mother says，so long as he is happy, it’s better than being miserable．He tried hand gliding once then he said it was a bit easy．”

never gave up. He thought that nothing was difficult if you put your heart into it. He was really a great man!
