【题目】阅读理解。

Are you shy?If you are,you are not alone.In fact,close to 50percent of people are shy.Almost 80percent 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 15to 20percent 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 66percent 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.

【题目】 Gordon Williams's hobby may seem strange to people when they meet it for the first time. But it is a traditional craft (手艺). He builds model ships inside old bottles.

Gordon has always loved ships, especially sailing ships from the old days. His interest in this hobby began many years ago when he visited a museum in Ottawa, Canada, where there was a display of model ships in bottles. Gordon thought the display was wonderful. But he wondered how the craftsman got the ship through the thin neck of the bottle. Gordon decided to find it out.

He found an old master craftsman who was willing to teach him the necessary skills.

First, Gordon takes an old bottle. Then he puts in a layer of putty (一层油灰), carefully shaped and painted it look like the sea. Next he builds the ship. To get the ship through the neck of the bottle, Gordon holds down the masts (桅杆). Once the ship is inside the bottle, he takes a long, thin tool to raise the masts.

Gordon has completed well over one hundred models. His wish is to build bigger model ships, such as aircraft carriers. This will be more challenging, as he will have to build the ship actually inside the bottle. His hobby certainly needs time, patience and a steady hand.

1How did Gordon become interested in this hobby?

A.He met a craftsman who would like to teach him.

B.He saw a show of model ships in bottles.

C.He had a journey to Canada.

D.He has collected many sailing ships.

2For Gordon, the most difficult step that he wanted to learn was _______.

A.to shape the bottle like a ship

B.to paint the layer of putty like the sea

C.to get the ship through the neck of the bottle

D.to put the layer of putty into the bottle

3Which of the following pictures shows the last step of Gordon's work?

A.AB.BC.CD.D

4Gordon's new plan is more challenging because he will_______.

A.build a bigger model ship inside the bottle

B.build more than one hundred ships

C.put a bigger model ship inside the bottle

D.make an aircraft carrier
