Almost 80 percent of people feel shy at some point in their lives. Now, experts are trying to understand shyness. They have some interesting ideas about why people are shy. Is it possible to be born shy? Many experts say yes. They say 15 to 20 percent of babies behave (表现) shyly. These babies are a little quieter and more watchful than other babies. Interestingly, these shy babies usually have shy parents. As a result, experts think that some shyness is genetic. Family size might cause people to be shy as well. Experts at Harvard University studied shy children. They found that 66 percent of them had elder 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 experts 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 expert 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 experts 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. 22．What is the passage mainly about? A．Happiness. B．Shyness. C．Kindness. D．Loneliness. 23．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. 24．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 elder brothers and sisters. D． Most Israeli people are shy of expressing opinions. 25．How can shy people can get over their shyness according to the experts? A．By blaming their failure on outside reasons. B．By trying new things and practicing conversation. C．By getting themselves away from their shy parents. D．By trying to understand reasons for their shyness. （23-24八年级上·北京顺义·期中）“I wish I had straight hair”; “I’d like to be taller”. At times, we all want to look a bit more like someone else. However, the pictures we see on TV and social media (媒体) can give us improper ideas about how our bodies “should” look. The truth is that everybody is different—and that’s a good thing. Accepting and feeling good about our bodies is really important for our self confidence (自信). Body confidence is when someone accepts and behaves (行为) kindly towards their body. That includes our size and shape, skin color, appearance and any physical disabilities. Jade Parnell from the Centre for Appearance Research (CAR), says that having body confidence is “about being accepting of your body and what it does for you”. If you feel positively (积极地) about your body, you are more likely to take care of it. Research has even shown that you are more likely to take part in activities and perform well in school. However, feeling agitated about your body could make you step back, do less well at school and even feel down. Parnell says that the cost of trying to achieve the “perfect” appearance is high. She says, “If you’re spending a lot of time trying to look a certain way, you will have less time to spend with friends and to make important memories.” It’s important to remember that everybody is different. To develop a positive body image, Parell says, “Try to talk positively about your own body and other people’s bodies. Try not to pay too much attention to appearance. Instead, think about what your body does for you: do your legs make you run really fast?” She also suggests treating (对待) your body well by eating different kinds of foods, exercising to feel good and to have fun, and getting plenty of sleep. Remember that you are more than how you look. 26．The writer thinks that the pictures on TV and social media ________. A．may bring people some wrong ideas of looks B．teach people how to behave kindly C．are perfect for people to follow D．show everyone is different 27．The underlined word “agitated” in Paragraph 3 probably means ________. A．careless B．special C．popular D．worried 28．Why does the writer write the passage? ________ A．To encourage readers to take more exercise. B．To remind readers not to eat too much food. C．To lead readers to build up body confidence. D．To advise readers to treat their friends well. （23-24八年级上·湖北武汉·期中）Do you know why you get angry so easily, but your friend smiles all the time? It’s because you both have different personalities. Then what is personality? It’s about how people think, behave and react to everything around them. So what makes people think and behave in certain ways? Part of the reason is that people are born like this. A baby gets its genes and blood type when it is still inside its mother. These may help decide what the baby will be like. But one’s personality doesn’t stop here. Family life, school learning and life experiences can also make you the person you are. But this doesn’t mean you can’t change your personality. You can always try to make yourself better. Don’t get too worried if you don’t have a good personality. ★ This is a good way to start making changes. For example, if you don’t know how to make friends, find out why. Is it because you’re too shy? If so, tell yourself to smile at people. Start talking to people kindly. But don’t give yourself a hard time about it all. After all, it’s not easy to change lifelong habits in one night. Just keep trying, one day you can see that you can turn over a new leaf and be a new you! 29．Personality is about the following except ________.

Almost 80 percent of people feel shy at some point in their lives. Now, experts are trying to understand shyness. They have some interesting ideas about why people are shy. Is it possible to be born shy? Many experts say yes. They say 15 to 20 percent of babies behave (表现) shyly. These babies are a little quieter and more watchful than other babies. Interestingly, these shy babies usually have shy parents. As a result, experts think that some shyness is genetic. Family size might cause people to be shy as well. Experts at Harvard University studied shy children. They found that 66 percent of them had elder 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 experts 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 expert 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 experts 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. 22．What is the passage mainly about? A．Happiness. B．Shyness. C．Kindness. D．Loneliness. 23．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. 24．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 elder brothers and sisters. D． Most Israeli people are shy of expressing opinions. 25．How can shy people can get over their shyness according to the experts? A．By blaming their failure on outside reasons. B．By trying new things and practicing conversation. C．By getting themselves away from their shy parents. D．By trying to understand reasons for their shyness. 【答案】22．B 23．A 24．C 25．B 【导语】本文分析了害羞的原因并给出了如何克服害羞的建议。 22．主旨大意题。根据“Now, experts are trying to understand shyness.

At times, we all want to look a bit more like someone else. However, the pictures we see on TV and social media (媒体) can give us improper ideas about how our bodies “should” look. The truth is that everybody is different—and that’s a good thing. Accepting and feeling good about our bodies is really important for our self confidence (自信). Body confidence is when someone accepts and behaves (行为) kindly towards their body. That includes our size and shape, skin color, appearance and any physical disabilities. Jade Parnell from the Centre for Appearance Research (CAR), says that having body confidence is “about being accepting of your body and what it does for you”. If you feel positively (积极地) about your body, you are more likely to take care of it. Research has even shown that you are more likely to take part in activities and perform well in school. However, feeling agitated about your body could make you step back, do less well at school and even feel down. Parnell says that the cost of trying to achieve the “perfect” appearance is high. She says, “If you’re spending a lot of time trying to look a certain way, you will have less time to spend with friends and to make important memories.” It’s important to remember that everybody is different. To develop a positive body image, Parell says, “Try to talk positively about your own body and other people’s bodies. Try not to pay too much attention to appearance. Instead, think about what your body does for you: do your legs make you run really fast?” She also suggests treating (对待) your body well by eating different kinds of foods, exercising to feel good and to have fun, and getting plenty of sleep. Remember that you are more than how you look. 26．The writer thinks that the pictures on TV and social media ________. A．may bring people some wrong ideas of looks B．teach people how to behave kindly C．are perfect for people to follow D．show everyone is different 27．The underlined word “agitated” in Paragraph 3 probably means ________. A．careless B．special C．popular D．worried 28．Why does the writer write the passage? ________ A．To encourage readers to take more exercise. B．To remind readers not to eat too much food. C．To lead readers to build up body confidence. D．To advise readers to treat their friends well. 【答案】26．A 27．D 28．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了我们要积极地看待自己的身体，要有对自己的身体自信。 26．细节理解题。根据“However, the pictures we see on TV and social media (媒体) can give us improper ideas about how our bodies ‘should’ look.”可知，作者认为电视和社交媒体上的图片可能会给我们传递错误的外貌观念。故选A。 27．词义猜测题。根据“...could make you step back, do less well at school and even feel down”可知，让你退缩，在学校表现不佳，甚至感到沮丧，这是因为你感到担忧，所以agitated=worried。故选D。 28．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了我们要积极地看待自己的身体，要有对自己的身体自信。故选C。 （23-24八年级上·湖北武汉·期中）Do you know why you get angry so easily, but your friend smiles all the time? It’s because you both have different personalities. Then what is personality? It’s about how people think, behave and react to everything around them.
