Mr. Guo is a teacher from Xi'an. He asked his students to hand in their homework through a QR code（二维码）. “We spent an hour or two in class learning how to generate（使产生）the codes，and in the end everything gets easier. "said Guo. "When students finish the homework，they keep it on WeChat（微信）. Then，each student makes his own QR code and gives it to me. So I can check their work everywhere using my computer or mobile phone. ”

The QR codes can be sent to Mr. Guo by email，QQ and WeChat. When Guo scans（扫描）his students' QR codes，their homework appears on his phone. He finds that their homework becomes more creative，with many pictures，music and even videos.

Guo's students like the new way and think it is interesting. "We are living in the information age. Many students like to work with computers，which makes learning more fun. "said Tingting，a student of Guo's.

“The paper is not easy to keep，but the code is easy to keep and share，" Guo said. "It is worth（值得）trying to use new technology in education. Education itself is a kind of creation. I don't want my students to fall behind the times. ”

However，some parents are worried. They are afraid that their children will spend too much time on computers and less time communicating with teachers. But in fact，it's unnecessary. Students still need to look up information in books and write it down when they do their homework. They only use the code when they hand in their work，which doesn't take them too much time. Also for teachers，it allows them to check the students' work at any time. And it's also an easy way to share homework with other students.

Are you shy？If you are，you are not alone. In fact，close to 50 percent of people are shy. Almost 80 percent of people fell 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 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 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. The scientists said that these children were often bullied（欺负）by their 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 conversations. And don’t forget-if you are shy，you are not the only one.

1.What is the passage mainly about？

A. Happiness. B. Shyness. C. Kindness. D. Loneliness.

A. Most little babies are born shy and quiet.

B. If you are shy now，you will be shy forever.

Macick Czastka was born in Lodz，Poland. He came to China several years ago. So far，he has been working in Chengdu for three years.

“The Belt and Road Initiative（一带一路的倡议）is meaningful，”he said. “Thanks to it，we are offered more chances. "The most powerful support for Chengdu to thrive（兴盛）along the Belt and Road is the Chengdu-Europe express railway（高速铁路）. It provides direct train services between Chengdu and the city of Lodz. Because of the express railway，trains can bring things from China to Europe. At the same time，they can bring back European food，wine，meat and so on. In2016，a total of 460 trains ran between Chengdu and Europe. The number is expected to grow to 1，000 this year.

Since the Chengdu-Lodz express railway was opened，Chengdu，together with other cities in West China，has developed close trade ties with the European country. Poland is one of the largest apple producers in Europe. Czastka's company helps farmers in Poland sell their apples to China. More and more European products will be sent to China in the future.
