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 ner vous or frightened when you’re around other people. Experts have found that more than 80 percent 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.

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. Bu t 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(机会) 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! The re’s nothing to be afraid of. ( ) 21. The underlined phrase “to feel yourself again”in the third paragraph means “________”.

A. to find oneself

B. to be oneself

C. to enjoy oneself

D. to help oneself

( ) 22. What kind of shyness can be bad according to the passage? A. You find it hard to enjoy yourself at a party. B. You feel

a little nervous when you go to a new place. C. You seldom go outside, afraid of meeting new people. D. You have a red

face when you’re asked to answer a question in class.

( ) 23. 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

( ) 24. We can infer (推理) 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 with others

( ) 25. What’s the best title for this passage?

A.Are you too shy?

B. Think more for others!

C. Find out what you’re like!

D. Once he was shy just like you!

I am Steve. I was born and grew up in South Wales. My favourite place to play was out on the hills where my imagination had plenty of space to expand（拓展）.

My family moved out of Wales when I was thirteen. I went to a new school. One of my subjects was French. Because I had never learned any French, my teacher told me to sit in the corner and write anything I was interested in. That’s the time I started writing, just for myself, and I’ve been writing ever since.

I have always loved BIG IDEAS, and so I enjoy writing fantastic stories. And I also write horror（恐怖的）stories. I think they are like the old fairytales（童话故事）,and can teach you important things.

I am in my forties on the outside, twelve on the inside. I like rock music, Indian and Chinese food, and I enjoy drinking. I live in a small village with my wife Mary, ducks, cats, goats, hens and lots of rabbits. If you’d like to find out more about me and hope to buy my books, go to www. sbowkett. freeserve. co. uk.

Beijing chose five special doll mascots for the 2008 Olympic games on Friday November 11, 2005. They represent (代表) a panda, a Tibetan antelope, a swallow (燕子), a fish and the spirit of the Olympic flame (火焰).

The mascots are called “Five Friendlies”. The names of the five dolls are “Beibei,”

“Jingjing,” “Huanhuan,” “Yingying” and “Nini.” Beibei is the Fish, Jingjing is the Panda and also means “capital city”, Huanhuan is the Olympic Flame, Yingying is the Tibetan Antelope and Nini is the Swallow. They together mean “Beijing welcomes you.”

The mascot of the Olympic games usually becomes known to the public with only 1,000 days to go before the Games. The mascots will join the official games slogan (口号) “One World, One Dream”.

“The mascots carry the idea of the Games,” BOCOG official Zhang Ming said, “They’re part of Chinese culture. They show the Chinese people's hope for peace and friendship in the world and the spirit of the Olympics. They should be popular with children and liked by people from around the world.”

The mascots will be put on T-shirts, bags, cups, pens, and anything to do with the Olympics.

Coloured in the five colors of the Olympic rings, they also represent the sea, forests, fire, earth and air.

Several mascots are not strange. The 2000 Sydney games had three native Australian animals and two years later in Salt Lake City a hare, coyote (郊狼) and bear represented the event.

“We have been pleased about them," IOC chairman Hein V erbruggen said in Beijing. "That means we like them, or we wouldn't have done that.”

31. The Chinese for “mascots” is_______________________.
