In 1959, when Jean Harper was in the third grade, her teacher asked them to write a report on what they wanted to be when they grew up. She poured her heart into her report and expressed her dream of becoming an airline pilot. Her paper came back with an "F" on it. The teacher told her it was a "fairy tale".

Shyness can be an unhappy feeling. But the good news is, you’re not alone. Scientists say that more than 40 percent of teenagers and adults consider themselves shy. Shyness is feeling a little nervous or as if you want to hide when you’re around other people or in a new situation.
Scientists say genes(基因), life experiences, and environment can influence whether a person is shy or not. For example, in some families, everybody seems to be shy.
▲ Well, being shy may cause you to avoid or miss opportunities you would enjoy.
How do people overcome(克服) shyness? This is what Gilbert tells us. "When I started off trying to get over being shy, I decided to do little steps at a time, including practicing smiling and saying hi to people. And it worked for me."
But shyness is not the kind of thing that most people can get over overnight. Overcoming shyness takes time and needs practice.
Here are some tips given by scientists.
Think of what to talk about before you leave home. Prepare things to talk about before you’re in a social situation. For example, if you know your classmates are interested in an upcoming event, learn about it so you can join in the conversations.
Let people know you’re shy. If you’re shy, just show it. Instead of letting people guess, tell them the truth. Explain that you are shy and feel nervous but enjoy talking to people.
Make things easy for the other person. Remember you’re not the only shy person around.Do what you think might help others feel good —for example, say hello or smile.
Pick one social skill to practice at a time. Start simply. For example, smile or be the first person to say hi. Choose skills you feel comfortable enough with to practice for a day, a week, a month, or even a year.
( )27.According to scientists, can’t have an influence on whether a person is shy or not.
A.genes B.life experiences
C.hobbies D.environment

C.What makes people shy?
D.Can shyness be good for us?
( )29.The writer gives us the example of Gilbert in Paragraph 4 in order to .
A.show how people overcome shyness
B.introduce a shy boy called Gilbert
C.tell the right time to practice smiling
D.explain the steps of overcoming shyness
( )30.Which of the following is the right way to overcome shyness?
A.Don’t let others know that you are shy.
B.Wait for others to say hello to you first.
C.Choose several skills to practice at a time.
D.Get ready before you join in a social situation.

Zhang Ming, a college student from Shandong, created a 9-page "WeChat guide". With drawings and simple words, the step-by-step guide explains how to send messages, take pictures and make video calls. Zhang made the guide for his parents. "My parents are getting old.They need an easy way to learn how to use the new technology," he said.
Zhang’s experience is common nowadays. Worldwide, 40 percent of parents learn about new technologies, including computers, the mobile Internet and the social media from their children, according to a study from the International Communication Association in 2014.
Parents used to teach their kids about almost everything. Now for the first time, the teachers become the students, and the students turn into the teachers.
"The change of roles comes from the rapid development of society and the technology," says Zhou Xiaohong, a sociology professor from Nanjing University. Zhou said the Internet and other forms of media give children ways to get information besides from asking older generations(长辈). Therefore, in the age of information, it’s possible that children know more than their parents do.
According to the China Internet Network Information Center(CNNIC), 56.7 percent of Internet users and 67.2 percent of social media users in China are under the age of 30. "The younger generation usually act as a link between their family and the new environment. But when they teach their parents new technologies, parents can connect to the new world by themselves," noted Zhou.
In Zhang Ming’s eyes, teaching his parents about WeChat brings him closer to his parents. "People can communicate more by using new technologies. Why should we keep our parents out?" said Zhang.
( )31.According to the passage, Zhang’s parents can’t with the "WeChat guide".
A.make video calls B.send messages
C.grab the red packets D.take pictures
( )32.Why do children know more than their parents do nowadays?
A.Because parents teach the children about almost everything.
B.Because children can ask more older generations for help.
C.Because parents are getting old.
D.Because children can get more information by using new technologies.
( )33.What does the underlined word "link" in Paragraph 5 mean?
A.Teacher. B.Connection.
C.Trade. D.Conversation.
( )34.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A.Zhang Ming’s "WeChat guide" is made up of drawings and simple words.
B.40% of parents learn about new technologies from their children all over the world in 2014.
C.56.7% of social media users in China are under 30 according to the CNNIC.
D.Zhang Ming thinks that we should encourage our parents to use more new technologies.

I often miss the bamboo trees behind my old house. When I was a child, I usually went there and sat down. On the one hand, I enjoyed the beautiful sight. On the other hand, I was interested in watching the bamboo trees bend under the pressure of the wind and return softly to their position after the wind stopped.
As I grow up, the bamboo trees’ character always shows up in my mind.Usually, we also meet the situation just like bamboo trees, don’t we? If so, what should we do?
Life is a mixture of good times and bad times, happy moments and unhappy moments. If we are experiencing one of those bad times or unhappy moments, we should try our best not to let the situation break us. We should bend but not break, just like the bamboo trees. With hope for a better tomorrow or a better situation, we begin to believe that things may not be as bad as they seem to be. Difficult situations may be easier to deal with if the result is worth having.
When I think about the bamboo trees’ character, the word "resilience" usually comes to my mind, too. If the word is used to describe a person, it means one can stay strong after a difficult situation.
So, if such an experience happens to you next time, please show resilience like the bamboo trees: bend, but don’t break!
36.How many reasons made the writer go to see the bamboo trees as a child?(不超过5个词)
37.What does the writer think of life?(不超过15个词)
38.What can we learn from the bamboo trees?(不超过5个词)

I have changed a lot!
I have changed a lot in the past three years. When I was a seventh grader, I used to be shy. I was afraid to give speeches and talk with my classmates. One day, my head teacher asked me to take part in a speech competition. I was nervous, but I agreed to have a try. I made good preparations for the speech. I also asked my teacher for some useful advice. Finally, I won first prize of the speech competition. From then on, I was not shy any more. I became confident and I have changed a lot.
