How do you feel when you have to make a speech in front of class? What about when you go to a birthday party? Do you get really shy?
Shyness means feeling nervous or afraid when you’re around other people. Experts have found that more than 80% of middle school students feel afraid to be the center of attention. Some kids are born shy. Some become shy later because of their life experiences(經(jīng)歷).
It’s OK if it takes you a while to feel yourself again when you go to a new place or meet new people. In fact, everybody gets a little shy sometimes. It’s just a case of how much.
Most people have red faces and talk in broken sentences when they get shy. But some become so shy that they won’t go to a restaurant because they are too nervous to order and pay for their food. Some are afraid of meeting new people, so they seldom go outside. This kind of shyness can be bad for a person.
If shyness doesn’t stop you from doing something you want to do, being shy isn’t a very big problem. Some experts say shy people are cleverer because they think more and talk less. Shy people are also good at working with others because they think more for other people. Some great people in history were shy, too.
You see, being shy isn’t all bad. But remember not to let good opportunities(機會) pass by just because of it! If you have to sing a song at a birthday party or practice your spoken English in front of others, just do it! There’s nothing to be afraid of.
小題1:The underlined phrase “to feel yourself again” in the third paragraph means “________”.
A．感受生活B．恢復(fù)過來C．玩得開心D．尋求幫助

小題3:If you have to practice your spoken English in class, ________.
A．just do it
B．just refuse to do it
C．you’d better ask someone to help you
D．tell your teacher you’re too shy to do that
小題4:We can infer(推斷)from the passage that_________.
A．kids are all born shy
B．you can’t change yourself
C．shy people can also be successful
D．shy people are not good at working others

It seems that women and beauty go together.  I think so.  Look around yourself. Fashion ads are almost everywhere.  Whether they have realized or not, a sea of. fashion is all around women.  They are made to think that without beautiful clothes they will look old and lose their charm(魅力）. So who doesn’t want to dress up to be beautiful and young?
But I don’t agree with the opinion that women have to show their beauty through their looks.  Their mind can be more beautiful and attractive than their looks.  A woman has experienced many troubles and may be called “aunt”, but she can still be beautiful if she has excellent qualities like knowledge, a kind heart and great courage(勇氣）.
What’s more，old and young,  beautiful and ugly are relative.  People who keep a young mind will never feel old.  Knowing about new things and wanting to learn more，they can keep up with fashion.  Simply dressed women are also beautiful in their own way.
Reading and learning is the best way to keep one young.  Good books can feed the flower of one’s heart and looks.
小題1:Why does the writer say that women and beauty go together ？
A．Because women are sure to be beauties.
B．Because women like to show their beautiful clothes.

A passenger（乘客）told an air hostess that he needed a cup of water to take his medicine when the plane just took off. She said to him that she would bring him the water in ten minutes.
The air hostess was kept so busy that she forgot to give him the water. As a result, the passenger was held up to take his medicine. Thirty minutes later, when the passenger’s ring for service sounded, the air hostess hurried over to him with a cup of water, but he refused it.
In the following hours on the plane, each time the air hostess passed the passenger, she would ask him with a smile whether he needed help or not. But the passenger never replied to her.

Do you think there is too much noise in our city? If you live near an airport，you will be unhappy because of a plane often make a loud noise．The sound of planes or heavy vehicles is likely to cause deafness if heard continuously（不斷地）．
However, most people in our city do not seem to mind noise. They like to enjoy music when they are doing uninteresting jobs．It is a new danger because pop music，when played through powerful amplifiers（放大器），can reach 120 decibels（120分貝的）at a distance of five feet．A continuous noise of over 85 decibels can cause deafness．It was discovered that many young people in America could hear no better than 65-year-old people．
In the past we used to think that only workers in very noisy places would become deaf．For example，when newspapers and books are being printed，the noise level is over 85 decibels，and some of the workers become deaf．Today，however，scientists believe that 10 percent of the workers in Britain are being deafened by the noise．
Sometimes noise of less than 85 decibels can make some people tired and stressed．We all know that too much noise makes life difficult and unpleasant．It can do great harm to people's health and prevent people from working well．Workers in noisy offices are not as efficient（效率高的）as those in quiet offices．Noise makes people less efficient．Can anything be done to reduce or control noise?
In Britain the government has made several laws to reduce noise．Though the government has spent a lot of money in making airports and main roads quieter，many people think that there are still not enough laws．For example，there are no laws to control the noise of machines．In Japan，America and Norway there are such laws．As a result，workers can be given compensation（賠償）if they become deaf．
小題1:Some workers become deaf because of ________．
A．hard workB．a(chǎn) continuous noise of over 85 decibels
C．powerful amplifiersD．uninteresting jobs
小題2:In Britain there are laws to ________．
A．stop workers from becoming deafB．control the noise of machines
C．keep down noiseD．help deaf workers in need
小題3:Who can be given compensation if they become deaf?
A．American workers．
B．British workers．
C．Both American workers and British workers．
D．None of the above answers．
