18、e you ever done something stupid that made you feel so embarrassed（尴尬）? Well, thats exactly how I felt. On a Saturday morning last autumn，I had gone to town to do some shopping and as I was on my way home，it suddenly began to rain. I at once ran into a nearby phone box because I didnt have an umbrel
19、laIt was raining so heavily that I have to stay in the phone box until it stopped A few moments later，I saw a young man walk up to the phone box，wearing a yellow raincoat and holding a box. I didnt want to go out into the rain，so I picked up the phone and pretended（假装）I was talking to someone. I tho
20、ught the man would go away，but he didnt. He just waited in the rain，watching me. I had to wave my hands about and acted as if I was deep in conversation. Luckily，the rain began to stop after about ten minutes“Okay，Mum，” I said loudly into the phone，“Ill see you later Bye!” I put the phone down, pick
21、ed up my shopping bag and walked out of the phone box “Im sorry I took so long,”I said to the man “Oh, I dont want to use the phone, ”he replied, smiling“Ive just come to repair it. Its out of orderyou see.” I felt myself go red in the face and I hurried away with my head down，feeling a complete foo
22、l(傻瓜). That was certainly one of the most embarrassing moments of my life!28. Why did the writer go to the phone box and stay there? A. Because she wanted to keep warm. B.

24、 her mother when the it rained C. The story happened on a cold Saturday morning last summer. D. It suddenly rained when the writer was on her way home after shopping.C 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 feel shy at
25、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. Thes
26、e 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
27、 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 themselves. They are not able to learn the same social skills as children from big families. You may
28、 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 Israeli
29、s have different opinions（看法） of failure（失败）. 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,
30、 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 thin
31、gs and practicing conversation. And dont forget-if you are shy, you are not the only one.31. What does the underlined word “genetic” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Passed down from parents. B. Learned from friends. C. Taught by teachers. D. Made up by brothers.32 We can learn from the passage that _ may cause shyness. A. genetics, grown-ups and birthplace B. genetics, family size and birthplace C. family size, grown-ups and failure D. genetics, family size and fr
