A
Do you have any experiences like these? When the teacher asks if anyone can speak in front of the class, you lower your head. When you go to the restroom or dining hall, you always try to find someone to go with you because you are afraid of being seen alone.
Well, many people have these kinds of experiences. They are feeling social anxiety (社交焦虑), or worrying about things like talking, going to a party or being the center of attention.
A recent study from China Youth Daily showed that about 45 percent of the 1,544 interviewers (受访者) said they experienced social anxiety.
Stefan Hofmann, an expert from Boston University, said that social anxiety is “a result of the fear that we will not be welcome”. For Chinese kids, there’s another reason for their anxiety. Shu Man from East China Jiaotong University said, “Most of them are the only child in their families, so they don’t have many chances to practice their social skills.”
“However, you don’t have to worry too much about social anxiety. You only need to ask the doctor for help if you can’t live a normal life,” said Li Songwei from Tsinghua University. Shu Man advised that you should go to public places more often, and try thinking about something happy when you are really nervous.
36. How many people experienced social anxiety in the recent study?
A. About 45. B. About 695. C. About 1, 544. D. About 1, 589
37. If a Chinese kid has social anxiety, it may be because he/she ________________.
A. is too shy to speak B. is afraid to talk to others

When is the best time for us to enjoy the bright moon? Of course, it is Mid-Autumn Festival, one of the most important holidays in China. We look at the moon, eat mooncakes, and get together with our families. The tradition is thousands of years old.
The moon, the key part of the festival, is special to most Chinese people. We enjoy and admire it. We use the round and crescent moon(新月)to describe reunion and separation.

Today, the moon is still important to Chinese people. The Miao minority(少数民族)in Guizhou province has a special custom. On the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, young people dance under the moon to find their other half.
However, Westen people see the moon differently. In some stories, the full moon is somewhat scary to people. The most well-known legend is about the werewolf(狼人).
