20、ot 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 possib
21、le 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
22、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 the
23、mselves. 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 o
24、f 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 bla
25、me 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
26、 good job. But scientists say you can get over your shyness. They suggest trying new things and practicing conversation. And dont forget-if you are shy, you are not the only one. 31.

Most little babies are born shy and quiet.B. If you are shy now, you will be shy forever.C. Many shy children ha
29、ve older brothers and sisters.D. Most Israeli people are shy of expressing opinions.CThere is little doubt that house cats first developed naturally from ancient wild cats. The closest relative is the African wild cat which still lives in Africa today. This is understandable because the first house
30、cats came from Africa. .Cats first started to live around people in Egypt about 6,0007,000 years ago. From Egypt, cats started to move around the world. This is about the same time that Egyptians began storing grain (谷物) in buildings. Scientists used to believe that people tamed cats to catch mice a
31、nd protect the grain. However, cats dont like to be told what to do! Now, scientists believe that cats followed the mice and learned to accept people.

32、to each other, then they moved in together. Around 5,000 years ago, cats started to live with people.Soon cats were in Greece, then the Middle East and China. They moved along Egyptian business roads keeping away mice and keeping people around them. After the Romans came to Egypt, they also accepted
33、 the cats and brought them to Europe. These cats likely bred (繁殖) with other cats to form the many kinds of house cats we have today.Cats are relatively recent house animals. House cats still have a lot in common with their wild relatives. Cats sleep a lot to save energy just like wild cats. They wi
34、ll often get food at night as well. House cats are generally peaceful and friendly, but be careful! If a cat feels it is in danger, it will fight backjust like a wild cat!36.
